He, for instance, equated economic dependence upon government — through programs like Social Security — to slavery, and West called Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a fellow Florida lawmaker, "vile" and "not a lady."

The Republican bastards are responsible for that one. The Bluebloods in the RNC hate independent thinkers. The funny thing is, they are still wondering why they lost the election.

It's easy to say "I hope...." with regard to Mr. West's future and finish it with what I would like to see happen. But the only wish I have for him is that he follows his own path and does what he feels compelled to do.

 

Having said this I'll say I don't think we've heard the last from him.

He was one of the very few, "good guys", in that Shit-Hole we call DC.

whether they have a R or D after their name they're all scums sucking lying POS, their only goal is to enrich themselves and fuck over everybody else.

He is unserious about fiscal matters and would not even consider cutting the so-called "Defense" budget. There is no way to get the budget under control without doing that (and a lot of other things too).

So what you're saying is Allen West is a scum sucking, lying piece of shit whose only goal is to enrich himself and fuck over everyone else?

You are both right, he did not tow the line on entitlement. True politicians are all scum bags, however I do think he was trying to evolve into something that did not smell so bad. If you want to get anything changed, you have to get someone in there who has the balls to do it.

As my grandma used to say, "Good riddance to bad rubbish."
