Allen West to Run for Re-Election in Different Congressional District

The Shark Tank has learned that Congressman Tom Rooney has announced that he is running for re-election to Congress in one of Florida’s two newly created congressional districts, and that Congressman Allen West will run for re-election in Congressman Rooney’s 16th Congressional District. The speculation will now begin as to which Republican will run in Allen West’s 22nd Congressional District. It is possible that either George LeMieux or Adam Hanser could abandon their Senate candidacies and run in the district, as both are from the area. The possibility exists that other current candidates for Congress in adjoining congressional districts could...

Allen West Shows Why It’s Impossible to Reach Across the Aisle (Barf Alert)

Yeah, I said ‘hell’” he felt it necessary to add as though he hasn’t said far more offensive things. “This is not about 1 percent and 99 percent. This is about a hundred percent; it’s about a hundred percent American. And I will not stand back and watch anyone defang, degrade or destroy that which my father fought for, my older brother, my father-in-law, myself and my nephew and all my friends still in uniform, I will not allow President Obama take the United States of America and destroy it. “So, if that means I’m the number one target...

Camp Mittens Duplicity on Allen West Worse Than Conspiracy: It's A Habit

All the crying going on from Camp Mittens denying that Romney set out to screw Congressman Allen West out of his seat in Palm Beach County is just the usual exaggerated outrage that we should be accustomed to from Mitt and Company when they’ve been caught in the act. Remember these are the same guys who are saying that Mitt’s the most electable candidate, but if we question Mitt’s electability we’ll only have ourselves to blame if Mitt doesn’t get elected. ---snip--- It’s hard to keep up with the rhetoric when a campaign has one set of lies to fool...

Florida redistricting looking even worse (Allen West getting singled out)

I posted the other day about how Allen West was getting hurt in the Florida redistricting. I linked to the Shark Tank, a Florida blog, which gave background going back several months about how Allen West was being targeted for unusually harsh treatment by fellow Republicans in the state legislature. A natural response, which in fact is what happened, would be to chalk it all up to the supposedly immovable force of redistricting laws. That’s a hard sell on the surface since if it merely were a matter of punching in the numbers and seeing what came out, there would...

Screw You! I am Outta Here G.O.P. [Reader Post]

To whomever this may concern It’s been a relationship that has been on the skids since 2010. I tried to make it work, but after I saw that I was the only one making any concessions in our waning relationship I realized that you no longer considered our relationship worth saving. Instead of wasting each other’s time let me just pack up my vote and get the hell out of here. Goodbye Republican Party. It was fun while it lasted. Mike Henkins Whew! That felt good! I have been wanting to write that letter for a while now. I...

No Room for Allen West- or You- in Romney’s GOP

Get ready for the all new GOP, under the lead of Mitt Romney. It’s a GOP where the Tea Party won’t be welcome, where the federal government will continue to bailout out banks and unions and everyone who’s anyone will continue to make money- except of course you and me. We’ll just continue to get stuck with the 100 year mortgage payment, as the GOP continues to be the “tax collector for the welfare state,” in the WSJ’s apt phrase. That’s the takeaway from Florida where Florida Representative Will Weatherford, a Romney proxy, helped redistrict Tea Party favorite Congressman and...

The establishment is fighting back, alright.
