Col. Allen West
« on: May 01, 2011, 04:32:09 PM »
We the people only have one more chance to get it right, 2012. If we allow this bunch to remain, America will be no more. All who've gone before us will have died in vain, because enough of us didn't vote, or didn't know the person we voted for. Please don't allow this to happen next year, we might not get another chance. Communism, Socialism, progressivism, liberalism, they're all the same, they don't work. They never will. They sap men's spirits, and they become slaves to themselves.
I believe the best man I've seen and heard is Allen West. He has pr oven his ability to think on his feet and to speak his mind. I believe he's honest and trustworthy and has this nation's best at heart. We the people should email Col. West and encourage him to run, I have already and I don't think he thinks he's ready, but, things are so desperate, he may have to step up, and I'm sure he will.

I've written elsewhere that I'm beginning to believe West may be exactly who we need to get elected in '12.  I heard Beck trying to finagle him into running, but what he said was "not now".

In my opinion, it's a point in his favor that he doesn't want it.

I think what West lacks in executive experience he makes up for in military service and leadership. We have a long history (although not recently) of elevating great military men to the Presidency. Perhaps it's time again.

But West has stated pretty unequivocally that he doesn't want it. Then again, he is a man who defines the concepts of public service and self-sacrifice. Perhaps he can be moved.

The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

I tend to favor the ones who don't want it...rather than the ones who've dreamed of it since they were 9 years old or some such thing OR the ones who think it's their turn! LOL

West may not have exec experience but he has made decisions in contrast to BO.

Obama lowered the bar to where experience is no longer needed, the Left and the MFM having settled that argument should be yoked by it going forward, having established that I see no downside to a West candidacy...especially since he is a fighter who refuses to be defined by the Leftist trash.  We could use a lot more of this, couldn't we?

Yes we could.

My mom can't get off the Romney train.  But then she's a sucker for a guy in a suit with a nice looking family. ::)

She thinks West should stay where he is and do good there.  ::gaah:: ::gaah:: ::gaah::

He was on Beck last week and at one point after Beck et al were almost gushing he said you're creeping me out.  hehehe

He came from an intact family--check
Military--check
Knows his history--check
AND won't be intimidated.

What's not to like?  :) :) :)
