Sodahead.com ^ | 4/18.11

Posted on 04/18/2011 9:21:13 PM PDT by sushiman

Ike Eisenhower, generally regarded as one of the best presidents of the last century [many say better than Reagan], served not a single day in Congress. The people were fed up with career politicians, and wanted someone with proven LEADERSHIP ability.

Although Allen West will have only 2 years in Congress by 2012, he developed his leadership ability in a military career spanning 22 years of service, including SIX tours of duty in the Middle-East.

Love the comparison to Eisenhower. I’ll remember that next time somebody says he’s just a “freshman.”

Allen West could be great, but let’s not get carried away- Eisenhower was the supreme allied commander of the European theater. There hasn’t been an American military officer with a comparable job since.

Its not the level of the job held but the ability to do it, unapologetically, when one knows he is right.

That would be one helluva ticket. Any word on if Sheriff Joe is giving any thought to throwing his hat in the ring?

But when it comes to sheer guts and leadership ability, no one -- not even Gov. Palin or Donald Trump -- can match LTC West. Wrestling with oil companies and hostile takeover attempts pale in comparison to looking the enemy in the eye when he's doing his best to kill you and your men. The word "hero" is tossed about a lot these days, but from what I've read about LTC West, he is one.

I think West said he might run with Trump. They both spoke at the Boca Raton Tea Party rally last weekend.

Oh I agree with you completely. I’ve been a fan of Allen West since the time of that Iraqi interrogation controversy when he put the lives of his men ahead of PC bullsh*t.
