Note to all of you FReepers who have stated that they will contribute to individual conservative candidates.

Here he is, and he is gunning for a vulnerable democrat seat.

Act now and contribute!




The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection.

I wondered why this guy had the nerve to speak the truth about Obama.

Now I know!

Ah, leave it to a military man (about the only place that still values leadership) to put the Obamaloon where he deserves, as a miniscule metrosexual incapable of wiring a light bulb, and who’s never had a real job.

LTC Allen West has lived his life in service to America. In 2004, when it was time to retire from more than twenty years of service in the US Army, he brought his wife and two young daughters to Broward County, Florida, where he taught high school. He then returned to Afghanistan as an advisor to the Afghan army, an assignment he finished in November 2007.

Born and raised in Atlanta, Allen West received BS (UT) and MS degrees in political science (KSU). He also holds a Master of Military Arts and Sciences from the US Army Command and General Staff Officer College in political theory and military history and operations.

“Education is the great equalizer,” he says. “With a good education, any child in America can live his dream.”

Allen West knows that for our children to live their dreams, they need to be safe. He has faced down the world’s terrorists: in Operation Desert Storm, in Operation Iraqi Freedom, where he was battalion commander for the Army’s 4th Infantry Division, and in Afghanistan, where he trains Afghan officers to take on the responsibility of securing their own country.

In his Army career, Col. West has been honored many times, including a Bronze Star, three Meritorious Service Medals, three Army Commendation Medals (one with Valor), and a Valorous Unit Award. He received his valor award as a Captain in Desert Shield/Storm, was the US Army ROTC Instructor of the Year in 1993, and was a Distinguished Honor Graduate III Corps at Fort Hood, Texas Air Assault School.

Excellence is a West family tradition. His wife, Angela, holds an MBA and PhD. and works as a financial planner. His daughter, Aubrey, is a sophomore at Archbishop McCarthy HS and his daughter, Austen, is a 6th grader at Parkway Christian School.

Obama better man-up. He whines like a little girl that the Republicans are going to be mean to him and his wife while amassing the greatest war chest of money and his lackeys (controllers?) in the left wing media and blogosphere sharpen their pens.

Run as a Man and Leader

That would be contrary to everything the Democrats believe in.

from comments:

“Allen West is the kind of leader we need so badly in our country today. I urge all to support his campaign for Congress. We might not all be able to vote for him, but we can all contribute to his campaign efforts. I’m proud to have served with Lt. Colonel West as an officer of equal rank, but not anywhere up to his demonstrated dedication and devotion to our nation and plain old common sense”
http://video.aol.com/video-detail/allen-west-for-congress/1951781925

from his web site:
“My 22 years of service in the U.S. Army have taught me that America is a country unlike any other, and that our way of life is worth protecting. In Congress, I will put my experience to work for our national security and honor my oath to the US Constitution by protecting our borders and enforcing our immigration laws. I will fight to lower taxes and reduce the size of federal government. I will be an advocate for policies that spur our economy and job creation, and will protect small business by cutting senseless regulations that cost jobs and increase overhead. And I will be a champion for reducing our dependence on foreign sources of oil, promoting energy independence while preserving our coastlines and farmland.”

Let’s help get THIS man into the pipeline...

I believe that this is the same Lt. Col. Allen West that received a non-judicial punishment for firing a pistol at near an Iraqi prisoner & threatening to kill him if he didn’t spill his guts. The Iraqi was a policeman who was working with the insurgents in attacking the 4th ID. Basically cost him a very successful career.

Now does anybody think that the Republican party is going to touch Col. West with a ten foot pole after that? He’ll get no money. It’s a darn shame, too.

Oh, apparently Col. West had the right guy since the successful interrogation led to the capture of the cell who was responsible for the attacks. There were no subsequent attacks.

SLAM!

BAM!!

Allen West should be heading the GOP ticket, not Go-Along-Get-Along McCain who never saw a Democrat with whom he wouldn't compromise and stab his own Party in the back.

West would wipe up the floor with that pu$$y, Obama.

He's one righteous, Republican black man. I hope many Freepers will visit his website (see the link in the article) and send a donation his way. We need more brave real Republicans like Lt COL [RET] Allen.

I'm seeing it more and more; the message from the major media outlets is clear: If you don't vote for Obama, you are a racist.

The drum beat will continue and will get louder running up to the election.

Statement: "....and transcend race is the one talking about it the most."

Response: Then he has made race an issue and it should be faced.

Comment: The handling of this clown to date has been disgraceful. A Good campaign billboard would have been "Hussein" 2008 "He has the Wright stuff." Then show an empty suit or "Hussein" 2008 "He has the Wright stuff." Then show him in his Muslim garb. Refer to him mainly as "The democratic candidate," never by name except where unavoidable. However, the opportunity has probably passed. To handle this clown by discussing his "ideas" is to legitimize him. What a mistake! He IS the issue.

No matter where he goes there should be someone in the audience asking him where he stands on "Reparations" for blacks. Give him no rest-reparations, reparations, reparations. Play his economic policy speech that he made in one of the Carolina's-play it over and over. He stumbled all over himself all over himself. Demand he debate, which he notoriously cannot do.
