Allen West for Prez!
Where do I send my money!
This guy is GREAT!
BUMP!!!!
Finally a politician that is NOT an empty suit!
Believe me, I’m not trying to be a wet blanket. I’m an Army veteran, just like LTC West. But as I’ve posted on Michele Bachmann threads more than once, we do NOT elect House members to the presidency. Only once (1860, in a weird 4-way race) have we done so. We elect governors, vice presidents, generals and senators, pretty much in that order.
How do you spell Allen West?

I understand what you’re saying, but:
1. we need a leader, not a career politician,
2. the times are not “normal”, and we will need someone with the vision and courage to lead.
I think we should at the very least consider Col. West.
I don’t think the conventional wisdom holds true any more.
They told us that my previously defeated congressman was the worst possible candidate to retake the house seat. He then proceeded to beat 5 GOP challengers and the full might of the democrat party and their union parasites and he did it with half the money.
West won’t run this time around and I think it may be a long time before he does but he is truly the kind of man we need in the white house.
We just elected a freaking disbarred marxist community organizer!!!!
Oh, another thing, and I don’t like saying it, but I don’t think there’ll be another black president in our lifetime. Which is sad. But Barry has fowled the nest to the point where I don’t think the general public will go for that again for at least a generation. Flame me if you like.
Apples and oranges.
Sorry, he was not disbarred but he does NOT even have a license to practice law...his so called profession on top of being a community organizer.
West is more presidential than the last four Presidents combined!!!!! I’ve watched videos of his speeches on YouTube and I’ll say he’s fantastic. Keep in mind he is a retired military officer.
West/Palin 2012!!!!
You think the Left had a conniption in the last election? That will be nothing compared to this ticket! They are two minorities that the Left won’t be able to hold back their visceral hatred from because they are two Conservatives who refuse to sit on the plantation of victimhood.

Yes, Reagan was a former governor as were Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. Eisenhower was a former general as was Grant, Obama and JFK were former senators, Nixon was a former vice president and before that a senator, LBJ was a former vice president and before that a senator. What lessons may be gleaned from this?
YEP....I want to see the DEMS twist themselves with West/Palin....plus...I want to see our country turn around.
Does anyone on FR have West and Palin’s ear and could encourage them to sit down and talk with each other about a possible run?
I think all options will be considered....I may mention it to an acquaintance who actually does know the Palin’s...I actually got to see Todd Palin at his picnic...unfortunately didn’t get to meet him...darn! (That ole’ thing about 6 degrees of separation sure can surprise you)

That’s a pretty low bar. I have more foreign policy, military, intelligence and business experience than Barry Soetoro, and I’m no dynamo.
West has already said he’ll no in a roundabout way. Wish he would reconsider....
