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

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.

“I seem to recall West coming out and saying he made a wrong vote on the Pigford black farmer reparations. Nobody’s 100% perfect.

I guess the Tea Party could throw him under the bus and let a Democrat get elected to that district. I’m sure Debbie Wasserman-Shultz would be happy to help.”

Wrong,every time he casts a democrat vote, Sorry is the answer?

If you have seen the brain dead dopers that follow RuPaul around, mostly college kids, you would be surprised he didn’t win by 200 votes in that phony poll. Apparently some of them were too stoned to remember to show up.

I like Ron Paul’s fiscal policy

His fiscal policy is to say we spend too much, vote against every appropriations bill, but make sure those bills are still loaded with pork for his district.

"You are right again. You have me sold. Ron Paul for President. As soon as he takes office, the first thing I hope he does is tear down the Lincoln Memorial. Why have a monument to a Tyrant like Honest Abe. Right? “Six hundred thousand Americans died in a senseless civil war…. [President Abraham Lincoln] did this just to enhance and get rid of the original intent of the republic,” Paul said. “Every other major country in the world got rid of slavery without a civil war. I mean, that doesn’t sound too radical to me. That sounds like a pretty reasonable approach.” - RP"

WHERE IN THE HELL ,DID I SAY PAUL?? and second DID you vote for West?? I did ,you see we happen to live in district 22! Now your job is to explain away those ,7, SEVEN BUNGHOLE Items I listed!!

Aren't we old? Vote for Snoopy or Pat Paulsen.

Sadly, my daughter's INLAWS are BIG supporters of Rupaul. I really think the libs have co-opted that effort.

True Ron Paul supporters need to come to grips, the dems are punking you.

Two off the top of my head are:

West joined the Black Caucus to poke them in the eye.

West voted against defunding Obummercare because he said it was the wrong issue to focus on at that moment and the vote would do nothing.

I’m only aware of a statement on the one vote. Haven’t seen anything regarding the others. Not saying he hasn’t made a statement, just that I haven’t seen any.

Really? Didn't know this.

For whatever reason, seems like a misguided vote... Just sayin'.

LaRouche supporters have morphed into Paul supporters.

Kind of like ACORN changing their name, when more people started to realize how slimy they actually were, in order to escape the spotlight.

I really don’t care what you think of the man. Go ahead and vote for the Dummy Blabbermouth Schultz approved candidate in your district. I’m sure that person will suit your needs quite well.

When it gets down to it, that vote was just a ceremonial bit of PR by the GOP. It was never going to do anything as long as the Rats run the Senate. I see Wests point that they should be focusing on things that they can actually get done.

‘LaRouche supporters have morphed into Paul supporters.’

That’s a profound point. I give you kudos, excellent!

Troll? You are the one here slamming an American Hero. Just admit it. You are a Paulbot who’s head just exploded because West called your boy out as a dangerous loon. I don’t recall seeing you on other West threads calling the man a Commie Pinko.
