FL Legislature Covers its Rear on Redistricting After ‘Allen West-Gate’ Debacle
SHARKTANK ^ | Feb 22, 2012 | swampsniper

Posted on 02/22/2012 9:55:47 AM PST by SWAMPSNIPER

The legislature once heralded as the “most conservative legislature” is now trying its best to re-brand itself as the “bi-partisan” Florida legislature as it has collectively drafted legislation that shields all legislators, staffers and pertinent documentation from being subpoenaed in any potential litigation that may challenge the legislature’s redistricting of legislative and congressional districts.

We have previously reported that there were possible some high-level back room deals between the two political parties that put Congressman Allen West’s district in jeopardy.

The absolute corruption in government never fails to surprise me.

One of many reasons that I am no longer a Republican.

If you had paid one ounce of attention to what the Republican party was doing with ADM and monsanto in the 60s and 70s, you would have seen real open corruption.

Is this bad? yes.
Were they open about it? yes.

But what they did to give Big money power to squash small farms through the power of government back then was an order of magnitude worse, and party faithful looked the other way.

The place is thoroughly corrupt. It’s a pre-Bobby Jindal Louisiana, except with Jai Alai.

West, like Newt, knows the corruption in government includes the Republican Establishment,

They know West knows our history, our Constitution, and will not play ball with their corrupt as*es.

Col. West and Newt would sweep the WH and DC clean of our ‘enemies domestic’ on both sides of the aisle.

These cretins will do all in their power to stop West and Newt. God protect them from the Shadow Gov’t -

JFK made a speech against this Shadow gov’t - he wouldn’t play ball - and it cost him his life. You can bet Newt and probably West (if they can’t get rid of him through this redistricting shenanigans) have a large bulls eye on their back.

Listen to this - and y ou will understand that the Shadow Gov’t rules both the dems and the pubs - and intend to install the NWO (New World Order) on us. And it’s not just the dems - Poppa Bush and the Establishment are standing side by side with with them.

They took out Kennedy. People like Newt and West know what they’re up against. But they love this country and our freedoms enough to fight them head on.

You may be thoroughly shocked at this video - I hope so. And I hope you send it to everyone you know. Newt is the only presidential candidate not owned by the NWO Shadow Gov’t.

"Newt is the only presidential candidate not owned by the NWO Shadow Gov’t."

If that's true and he becomes a threat to them, he will end up just like JFK.

Lets try one more time to get a real conservative in the WH and see if he can knock some heads. And I can see it happening 3 ways.

1) Newt. He’s done it before and he talks big. I just fear that he could get stuck on something goofy. Global warming?

2) Romney. I know this site hates him, but just suppose he is telling the truth. He said he’d probably be a one termer because he’d pare down govt so much.

3) Brokered convention and you get Palin in there. I know she’d go over the heads of the congress to the people like Reagan did.

Of course there is Santorum and he’s conservative. I’m just not sure he’ll be able to control the party like he’d have to make a real change.

What it is time for is the end of Open Primaries !

Allowing independents and democrats to vote in republican primaries insures that the conservative vote will be diluted.

It is the way that the republican power structure is able to force its candidates through.

Primaries should be closed, and voters need to bring a photo voter ID.

Good grief, I'm in my early 40's. I was paying attention to "The 6 Million Dollar Man" and KISS in the 1970's.
