WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Republican U.S. Rep. Allen West is refusing to concede, even though the state of Florida says he lost his re-election bid by 2,442 votes.

The state reported its complete but unofficial tally on Saturday in the 18th District race. There are still a handful of overseas and military ballots outstanding, but under Florida law, recounts are based on Saturday’s results.

Anyone remember Al Franken? Ha Ha! They kept conveniently finding ballots/votes until - surprise - Franken won! Seems like I remember them finding a box of votes in the trunk of somebody’s car, and maybe a box in a pond somewhere, some hermetically sealed in a mayonnaise jar in the attic of Funk & Wagnall’s . . . some here, some there . .

-->>>only the republican party could adopt this man's attitude. Scream. Fight. Rage against the night. Use the same tactics the commie filth uses. Stop trying to be such bleeding gentlemen.
“If they pull a knife, we use a gun.”

That's what we need. We need to man up the party and ridicule the dems like they do our side. McCain, the Speaker, Lindsey are not the leaders for this..if they turn right, their support would jump up like wild.

They even hired a magician to pull some out of a hat!

That was definitely a fraud campaign. Once again, the radical left took a crap on America.

I watched this vid a couple times and the man seems very credible to me.

I have a sick feeling that both sides are culpable of rigging elections at one time or another. Hence, this is going no where. Good news is that neither side trust these machines so maybe we have some common ground to get rid of them.

Let down by his Govt. even doesn’t describe it. Let down by some of his fellow military doesn’t describe it. Life ruined, I’m not even sure that describes it. I can’t imagine how those that serve, get attacked for protecting themselves and can’t vote, have their healthcare zapped, feel. Betrayal. I can’t imagine.

NO. I cannot accept sorry. I don’t “think” of you as “sorry”.

I accept your commiseration. XOXO

Hey, I get where you are coming from. I personally know a few that have been killed in duty by a Military/Commander-in-Chief that won’t allow Rules of Engagement.

Unless one has been there, as in your family, one truly never knows.

Despite what you think, I am sorry.

I am an outsider to FL politics but completely don’t understand what is going on either, there or nation-wide. And, here in southern AZ, we had a couple of people lose who should have been shoe-ins. And then there is the ongoing counting of votes in the newly redistricted area of CD2 (that the leftists figured they’d easily take but the numbers keep going back and forth). And it seems like “our side” just rolls right over and takes whatever number is cited to them.

I am disgusted along with you.

Bq
I’m with ya.
The “independent” (cough, cough) redistricting messed us up.
I don’t understand Sinema.
I don’t understand Kirpatrick.

How is McSally doing? Last I read she was a hair ahead.

With rules like that, all you have to do is cheat enough to get past the limit.

That’s cause they’re cheating.

We elected West because HE’S A FIGHTER!

Good to see him FIGHTING.

Machogirl, hey there!

I am sooooo especially sorry to hear about Sinema -- Bolshevik in lipstick.

Frank Antenori lost down here.... At least Al Melvin kept his position... The latest article I saw on McSally (last night's news) -- she was ahead by 36 votes. Not to sound completely demoralized and negative, but remember how Jesse Kelly ended up "losing" after nearly a week of counting (*ahem* finding in car trunks??) ballots....? sigh...
