He is dead on here with his assessment.
“He is dead on here with his assessment.”
Indeed, and I’ll bet he earned each and every one of those medals - unlike certain senators we all know and loathe.
...and he didn’t even go to Viet Nam, nor have to earn a living by boinking rich ladies.
God Bless Allen West — He is great American!!!
He agrees with millions of us who know Ron Paul is a nut. And, Paul’s supporters are creepy.
I like Ron Paul’s fiscal policy, but isolationism is insane when your neighbors have or want a-bombs.
agree.
I like him, too.
I liked the way West clearly set out the issues facing this country in is assessment of Paul’s knee jerk Libertarian arguments. Paul’s ideas are dangerous.
And how is the US going to stop Iran from getting a nuke?
Part of the reason we have bases around the world is to be ready in case we are attacked. Example: If attacked we have equipment in many countries and bases in the USA so that we 1) Don’t have to transport everything so far. 2) No enemy can take out everything easily like the aircraft “lined up” at Pearl Harbor in Dec 1941. (Easy targets)
I do believe that we should get out of other countries affairs while being mindful of what is going on. “Trust & verify”.
I’ll agree that Ron Paul is not the kind of guy we need to be sitting at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. However, considering what we’re stuck with now, I’ll take anyone who is patriotic enough to disassemble Obama’s legacy. That’s pretty much everyone running other than Romney. In the very unlikely event that Paul gets the nomination, he has my vote.
Wasn’t this same West that was attacking the TeaParty over the debt deal?
Dude, why then is your voting record so bad???
I keep thinking how funny it would be if the new POTUS put him in charge of the Fed.
Yeah. I see how much West hates the Tea Party and they hate him. This speech was given at a Tea Party event on Saturday.
It's the same West that a few who claimed to be in the Tea Party attacked for voting for the debt deal. He said some of them were schizophrenic by calling for him to run for President one minute, and a traitor the next. He's right too. One vote that not everyone approves of does not make him a traitor to the Tea Party - even calling Lt. Col West a traitor is pretty vile.
And West is absolutely right, Ron Paul's foreign policy is stupid, dangerous and irresponsible. He is most certainly not someone any serious, thinking, non drug-addled citizen should want as Commander in Chief.
I like West when he addresses my schizophrenic self, but less so when he addresses my schizophrenic self.
I agree, Congressman West.
West sees homosexuality as a lifestyle choice, and not a bad one(after the Fags threw him out in Wilton Manors) He now has changed his stance.
West joined the Congressional Black Caucus/Circus soon as he arrived in DC.
West voted against defunding ObamaCommieCare.
West voted for the Pigford black farmer reparations.
West voted repeatedly to raise the debt ceiling by trillions of dollars.
