Allen West: Ron Paul ‘Not the Kind of Guy You Need to Be Sitting at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave’
The Blaze ^ | 08-14-11 | Madeleine Morgenstern

Posted on 08/14/2011 5:41:42 PM PDT by Lazlo in PA

Ron Paul probably shouldn’t expect a presidential endorsement from Florida Rep. Allen West.

The Republican congressman had some strong words for the candidate Saturday, two days after Paul suggested during Thursday’s GOP debate that Iran be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon because so many other countries already have them.

Speaking at a Tea Party event in Fort Lauderdale, West said he was deeply concerned about U.S. foreign policy, and particularly the threat Iran poses to the rest of the world.

Perhaps I’ll try talking with you some other time when your lacy panties aren’t quite so twisted up.

Or maybe not.

“But to a little man...

My wife can confirm the opposite is true.

Troll Did you vote for Mr West???

My handle and tag line should be able to tell someone of even your intelligence that I did not.

I do apologize for thinking that you were drunk on Jack Daniels. After digesting some more of your posts, I think that you are clearly on something a lot lower shelf than JD.”

No wee one, I do not drink,but can clearly see you do, to the extremes,BUT clear the fog for a minute ,what is your excuse for the stupidity? and being without a single fact here,I can see now it is alcohol!

It seems that anytime the governing elite begins to feel pressure there is some kind of distraction. I know that situations can and do arise that need our military intervention, but it seems we are very slow in dispensing our solutions, as if someone is benefiting from dragging things out.

I am sorry to hear about your friend. A boy down the street from me joined the Marines about two years ago and is in Afghanistan. Not a day goes by without me thinking of him, and I get angry as hell when returning vets tell me about the ridiculous rules of engagement they have to follow.

We should always be asking questions of our political leadership. For instance, when we know we can not trust them to live by a budget deal and make future cuts, why would we ever trust these same politicians with our most precious treasure, which is our children? Yet, these same elitist politicians cry wolf about a foreign danger and so many of us automatically throw our support behind them. Liars are liars, and if you can't trust them on a simple budget deal why would you trust them on something as final and deadly as warfare? We must always ask questions.

Wasn’t this same West that was attacking the TeaParty over the debt deal?

That's the scoundrel alright.

I agree with you that West’s votes stink, and IMO, no matter how he justifies them, the point is that he is voting in opposition to the will of the people in his district.

I’m sorry that he’s not 100% pro life. And you’re right, it’s the votes on the House floor that count.

And voting no on repealing Obamacare because other issues are more pressing? I’m astounded at that one! Did he try to speak before the Rules Committee, or talk things over with Boehner, which would have been the appropriate ways to deal with these concerns? A no vote doesn’t register an opinion that the bill shouldn’t have been presented on the floor.

I don’t see West as being a conservative.

I believe the people are wising up to the “distraction” method of governing. I think we can see that in the disbelief people have in the debt ceiling deal. Not many really believe that future cuts will be made, and there also seems to be a growing awareness of the baseline budgeting that has been going on for years. More and more people are beginning to understand that what the politicians call a cut is not a cut, and that they have been fooled.

You are right that the politicians are spineless cowards, and once they realize that people are on to them then they will look for new methods to try and keep us in our place.

I sympathize with your disappointment. I used to be a Laura Ingraham fan until I saw her undeniable Beltway establishmentarianism via the West situation. Please ping me when you post the info - I want to keep on top of this story.

Iirc, that is a drag queen. Not the person being discussed.

One point about letting Iran get their nuke, if they have one and we turn their labs into glass and eliminate their military from the face of the earth, we'd be justified. If they don't have one, it's a lot like shooting the unarmed.

Now you may return to the regularly scheduled character assasination and feces flinging this thread has become.

I think Santorum's debate answer to that was along the lines of by any means necessary. He mentioned the virus to destroy their nuclear supply manufacturing as Stuxnet did and the killing of Iranian nuclear scientists as happened in July along with sanctions and maybe other means.

Aas a pure mental exercise I can appreciate Ron Paul's "devil's argument" for some other country wanting a nuclear weapon but this is I-R-A-N. It's not Sweden. Iran is not the Soviet Union just as Col West pointed at when he referred to the old "mutually assured destruction" Cold War policy.

Paulbots, of course, smear West as part of the globalist military industrial complex.

Ron Paul is too isolationist for practical purposes. Already taking the DOD down to 3% of GDP where Clinton had it, Democrats want to dismantle the U.S. military for a grand social state that won't exist if our enemies are left unchecked and, let's not kid ourselves, our "allies" have already gutted and dismantled their militaries in favor of giant (failing) social states because they know the U.S. is on the job.

Since Obama wanted to keep plausible deniability regarding the War Powers act and starting his own war, the Libyan kinetic military action meant NATO had to depend on France's single carrier which had to return to port quickly for maintenance.

The Brits are down from three carriers to one and it's on the verge of retirement with no Harriers to fly from it since they've all gone to scrap. There's a period of about six years where the Brits will have NO carrier at all to deploy and when the new one is launched, their F-35s won't even be ready to fly from it.
