West is one of those rare and wonderful treats to listen to every time he talks.

BUMP
He’s one of very few men that I listen to and DO NOT, at some point doubt their credibility. I hope runs for president and at the very least is the vice presidential candidate.
OMG! Brief, concise and to the point! This was hammered into me until retirement.
Lead LTC West...I have no doubt our nation will follow you, a man of great character, integrity and personal responsibility!
You’ll piss-off the slackers, losers and parasites. However, 1 or 2 terms will inject a breath of desperately needed revival and restoral in this great country!
Point to the hill...it will be taken!
I liked it. West was direct, to the point and came across as strong. I think he’s going to run for president in 2016.
I really liked how DeMint offered solutions and pointed out how it is Obama who doesn’t work well with others. He didn’t have the strength of West though. Living under an Obama presidency with a Boehner speaker—it sure makes me look longingly at strength.

foxtrot.
over.
Well stated.
For just once I want to hear a POTUS say, “Frankly, my fellow Americans, the State of the Union, sucks.”
It’s very simple. These are the reasons I can’t support Allen West:
Even though he is:
intelligent;
experienced;
proven soldier and courageous,
well read on history, no doubt a surprise to some because those books are thick and have no pictures;
able to speak well, spontaneously,without help may I add;
I somehow get the overall feeling I could count on him if I needed help if things went bad and would do the same for him;
Stop. Those are the reasons I like him.
The real reason I’m told none of the above matters is because he’s Black and I’m not. Now I understand.///S
Cruz wins, he has the fire. Though I do wish he would have laid out some solutions like DeMint did.
I want Cruz as president but I sure hope West is a part of it—steady and strong— we could sure use him.
We could sure use DeMint, too and Mark Levin and Greta because she has such integrity.
I agree with all those. :)
