Allen West: I won’t sacrifice my principles for bipartisanship

Nonsense. I would hardly expect this man to be nervous with a mere journalist when he’s faced enemy terrorists in combat.

just finished watching…..I see no nervousness. I see directness in a short amount of time

Uh, maybe because it depends on people throwing their hat in the ring and on the electorate to vote for them?

Your question seems to indicate that you don’t know the process.

It’s not the job of the GOP to FIND political candidates. Anybody they FIND, I won’t vote for, I don’t care WHO it is. This is a voluntary job. The draft was ended decades ago, and as I would not work with a draftee in the field, I would not vote for a draftee in political office. Citizen politicians step up; they are not pulled or dragged forward. I trust and like the GOP just as much as I do the DNC: NOT AT ALL. Their behavior toward O’Donnel (including scumbags like Rove) showed me everything I needed to know about these “ruling-class” scum.

As for O’Donnell, her biggest weakness is people like you. You sit there and whine about how ‘weak’ a candidate you judge her to be, and I don’t know if you have the wherewithal to realize that a lot of what is said about her is pure BS, if you have the brainpower to look into things, yourself, and not rely upon the LEC (Liberal Entertainment Complex) to spoonfeed you news. I don’t even rely on RightScoop; when they report, I decide by looking into things, myself, then drawing my own conclusion. I’m sure RS would agree that that’s how you’re supposed to do it. Apparently, you also don’t have the wherewithal to realize that abstaining to vote for her is a vote for her opponent. Or maybe that’s precisely what you DO want.

Oh, and since you’re apparently not very well informed on political matters, I’ll tell you: the GOP didn’t do a DAMNED THING for West, for a LONG TIME. Yeah, this candidate you claim to like so much, the GOP couldn’t care less about him, and I’ll bet they’re only paying attention to him, now, just because of how well he’s doing and his grass-roots support that extends across the country (thanks to the Tea Party), and is even being watched in other nations. If not for that, they couldn’t care less about him. Funny how your benevolent GOP didn’t go out and draft him for Congress.

I’m with ya Mickey.

We need a LOT more Allen Wests

I think Boehner has the ability to listen…unlike so many others who totally cannot get it.

Absolutely irrelevant. Rush was right in saying bipartisanship is absolutely unnecessary. It is unnecessary to constantly pull a McCain, and spend more time on their side of the aisle, than your own. You cannot cooperate with someone that does not have your goals in mind, unless you’re just doggedly determined, not to accomplish that goal, but to cave in and compromise your beliefs in making things more palatable for them. If you’re like minded, then you can cooperate. If you’re not, then you can’t. Look at how Obama lies about the lack of it: he claims ObamaCare was stalled by the Republicans (due to their unanimous votes against it), and yet the Republicans did not have enough votes to stop that, or even slow it down. Bipartisanship was not needed, it was wanted, simply for blame-sharing and ass-covering by the National Socialist Democratic Party. Personally, if I was in Congress, I can’t think of too many circumstances where I would consider bipartisanship even desirable. I’m pro-life, and pretty much pro life liberals [democrats] are nothing but lip-service liars on the subject, taking that title just for votes. I’m pro super-strong national defense. Most liberals are not, and like to try injecting social experimentation issues into defense bills that may or may not even have anything to do with national defense. I’m all for rounding up illegal aliens, trying them and imprisoning them, as well as retroactively revoking citizenship of their children, regardless of how old they are, following that up with deportation. Liberal democrats support illegal alien criminals, targeting them as a new, illegal voter bloc, to further cement their power. Conservatives and liberals are two completely different animals. Liberals don’t even believe in self-preservation, exemplified by their lack of desire to exterminate muslim terrorists, the rare exception being Joe Lieberman. Bipartisanship is when we truly have an identical cause, and my opponent recognizes that, and isn’t trying to blunt or water down my stance on any particular issue, trying to turn one thing into something else.

spade?
