Col West Concedes FL D18 Seat On FOX & Friends
FOX News

Posted on 11/20/2012 3:34:29 AM PST by clifcrds

Just watched FOX & Friends and Col Allen West was on live and stated that he will no longer fight for the FL D18 seat. (paraphrasing) He stated that even though they found problems with the way the vote count was handled he said it is not about him but is about what is best for the people of FL D18 so he conceds the seat to Pat Murphy.

I have a feeling we have not seen the last of Col West. Thanks for your service to our country Col West.

Everyone should be changing their registration from Republican to Independent as the opportunity arises...

...but its very expensive to keep fighting when the courts are against you - and the governor and SOS probably won’t do much to help either.

This is the problem. The courts generally won't touch an election fraud case. We keep putting our faith in a system that is faithless. This is the third theft that is as blatant as they come that I can remember. There was the Rossi-Gregoire theft in WA state, then Coleman-Franken, now this. The message is clear: don't expect a fair shake from the courts.

Trouble is, where do we turn for justice? Where do you go for political representation when the elections are rigged? Where do you go for justice when the courts are corrupt? Where do you go from protection when the police are crooked? We've been down this road before. The patriots back in 1775 suffered injustice after injustice until they couldn't take it anymore and started shooting at people on a bridge in Concord. Are we going down the same road again? Just wondering.

INVAR’s words:


We need to think outside the box of normalcy that we continue to confine ourselves to.

Marxists control the government, the courts, the media and the schools. Do some research - ELECTIONS and ‘turning out the base’ is NOT going to EVER remove a Marxist from power.

Never.

We suffered a coup - and it BAFFLES me that American Conservatives CONTINUE to pretend it’s just another election we lost to a liberal Democrat.

If that’s the case, you DON’T GET IT, you don’t understand what happened in 2008 that made 2012 inevitable and will make 2016, 2020 and the foreseeable future an entrenched Communistic tyranny of ruination by design.

I said Cook County went national back in 2009. You cannot defeat the machine by playing by THEIR rules that arbitrarily change to benefit themselves (Tuesday at the RNC this year anyone?).

The cabal/Ruling Class Regime has played for keeps, there is NO WAY the ballot box has any voice or value any longer. Cognitive dissonance will keep most under the vain hope it still is, because to accept the reality is too much for a weak and lukewarm people to bear.

Understand what time it is. It is time to think past today - return to God in repentance - and draw the line on what is left of your liberty that is GOD-GIVEN and be prepared to defend it by any and all means.

This regime will attempt to regulate us, fine us and starve us into submission. If that does not work to their satisfaction - there is the WACO treatment on tap. If you do not believe that - you are not paying attention and have not understood history under Marxists.

It’s Red Dawn and instead of enemy paratroopers - they simply created the atmosphere and used the machine to get themselves into power.

But the end desire and result by the regime is the same as in that movie. You do not negotiate with, compromise with or play pretend elections with those who are about the business of stripping you of your right to worship God, your gifted liberty and make you a slave who worships the state.

That goes for playing along with the GOP-e Ruling Class who know where the power is going to lie under the Obama regime, and are doing what they are to ensure they can share in it.

We are under enemy occupation.

I have to beg to differ. West is the only one that kept looking for the truth. Unfortunetly, have you heard any assistance from the party? Nope! They send Reince Preebus down there to “show support”. What in God’s name is that suppose to mean?
West fought the good fight, and for the reasons that seem to be obvious to us he lost. He is a good man that doesn’t give up, but he knows that this fight is over.
Another race that seemed interesting to me was the DWS race. Karen Harrington was within 5 points(her paid polling) and she lost in a worse shellacking than the first time she ran against her. DWS wasn’t even campaigning down there. The money spent on that race was insane for that seat.
Face it. Good people are going to be clobbered by the “Machine” .
Not West or Karrington’s fault. GOP, well they suck.

And then switch back to Republican just in time for the caucus/primary season. It would confuse those Democrats who become temporary Republicans at that time, might help reduce the damnably annoying constant phone calls from "conservative organizations" that registered Republicans are bedeviled with, and would certainly make a person that most sought-after of all voters: the oh-so-precious "independent."

I'm done with the Republican Party and even conservative talk radio, for now.

I'm with ya - I watched Fox and listened to Rush and Hannity for a couple of days after the election and realized it's all just entertainment / political theatre and thats about it. There's no fighting back, no challenging of the straw men or positions on the Sunday shows by those who constantly are invited back to appear, no balls or conviction, just entertainment.

Say one thing about the Libtards like Special Ed, Madcow, and the Rev - they know how to forcefully defend their positions, no matter how wrong they are. And, they're not afraid to offend the other side - until I see the same conviction and fortitude in the "entertainment conservatives" - I'm done with them and will catch up with past episodes of The Office and Seinfeld.

He is from Georgia, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him move back there in a more reasonable district.

Exactly so. Which is why the left is so quick to go to war to get their judicial moles installed.

This outcome does not surprise me. Nor have we seen the last of it. To the contrary, for the left it works so well, expect it to increase in both scope and brazenness.

I will never set foot in Florida again. I have not been there since 2008 and I will probably never go there again. Sad really... beautiful state and most of the people are very nice... but they do not care about the rest of the country or they would fix the corruption and organized crime in their election process.

Well Allen West asked for a recount of the early votes and he got what he asked and the count did not materially change.

Did anyone ever explain what was in those boxes that were carried in in the middle of the count on Saturday???

All of us guys that grew up generating testosterone and using it, understand the principle of being pissed off or pissing someone else off and having an after-school fight ... in front of all the girls.

We know you get to a point and something violently one on one must be done ... and it was done !!
Afterwards, more often than not, the two guys were sort'a buddies and whatever the problem was got corrected.


I remember a commercial that ran back in the '60's showing two old men ... the camera on one .. then the other ... and they were breathing hard apparently climbing a hill.

You didn't see all this untill they reached the top of a hill.

Then they put their suit coats down on the ground behind them and strated trading punches.

A couple of 50/60 year old men, weakly but determinedly throwing punches at each other.

NOW the voice over says ..

"Isn't this the way wars should be fought?"

I'm no dove, but I DO believe world problems should be dealt with immediately and with determination.

Even here in the US ... we need a leader to reclaim our nation.

I’m with ya - I watched Fox and listened to Rush...
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
I used to go out of the way to listen to Rush.
When he first went National, he was a fire breather, looking for change.
I think he first ‘changed’ when he got married(Marta?) - some of the fire seemed to be missing after that and I lost a lot of ‘respect’ for him over the oxy thing....
Not that he was ‘human’ and could get caught up in it but when he wasn’t ‘pushing R values’ he managed to spend a lot of time on Strawberry and Steve Howe’s case ....

Never did like Hannity - too wrapped up in the Colmes thing, then he came across as ‘smarmy’....Wouldn’t walk across the street to see O’Reilly in person much less dial him up or get up and change channels.
Didn’t trust Morris from the gitgo...these R’s/RINO’s...think it is a ‘victory’ when people like Morris blow smoke up where the sun don’t shine - Could only imagine the ‘fawning’ if Carvell would ‘supposedly’ turn.

Never was really much of a Coulter fan - didn’t really think a ‘good’ conservative would be all that impressed with the likes of Torrecelli etc...

yeah you have.In 2012, the Democrats learned how to get rid of those who were a thorn in their side and that is through vote fraud. However, as Limbaugh used to say, the dirty little secret is that the Republican Party also had a hand in his removal. How? They redrew his district thus giving the Democrats ample opportunity to commit fraud. And last but not least, where were the Republican Elected officials when Col. West was waging his battle?I will gurantee you that if what happened to Col. West had happened to a Democrat with a Democrat Governor and a Democrat Secretaty of State,they would be screaming so loud that they could be heard on Pluto.

Hopefully this time the people will get the government they voted for.

Hannidity is a fraud.It took me about ten times listening to him to decide that. I had a feeling that he was hen he was on t.v. with Colms.I confirmed it to myself by listening to how he inneracts with callers.
