I’ve always understood that the Speaker doesn’t have to be an elected Rep. This would send shock waves to the center of the Liberal and RINO (redundant?) establishments. That it could be so.

There is NO requirement for Speaker to be a sitting member of Congress.

West lost the election, in a redistricted area. Want him to win, put him in a more favorable district. A Conservative running in the West Palm Beach area and loosing? WAFS.

Even if true, arrangements would have to be made for a salary and benefits.

That should be easy, just put a bucket on the House floor. It seems to be hemorraging money these days.

West as Speaker would be priceless, and it would take the democrats favorite weapon of race off the table.

Seems there's no problem for The Messiah to appoint Czars, and I'm sure salary and Benefits are included there.

Just Elect him as Speaker, he gets the same Benefits and Salary as the phony-whiner in there now, and he would put Pelosi in the Peanut Gallery!

I would take Newt again: He did a good job one time before and I think he is capable of checkmating Obama.

I like it! But they’ll never do it. THis is an overwhelmingly RINO good old boy network..and they’ll nominate one of theirs because, after all...”it’s his turn”. They select their Presidential candidates that way, theyll do the same for SOH. And I don’t want Eric Cantor..but I’d accept Paul Ryan.

That’s exactly what the Republican leadership wanted. Allen West was too hot for them to handle and his political stances were too inconvenient for the Party leaders who really only care about keeping power and little else.

Black Speaker vs Black President. Georgian vs Hawaii (or wherever). Patriot vs Pussy. Conservative vs Communist. Christian vs Black Liberation Theologist. Individualist vs Collectivist.

Let’s pick the fight. Bring everything out in the open. Debate every issue.

Let’s beat the crap out if these pathetic progressives!

There is nothing Republicans can do to take the race card off the table. See Thomas, Rice, Gonzales, RGIII... etc. The moment they smell conservative they are no longer true minorities, and they get smacked in the head with... the race card.

Who gives a Damn about that insignificant amount of chump change when our very Nation’s existence is at stake?

You can’t be serious, right?
