That's my man!

[mpackard]

It’s going to take straight-shooters like West to lead the Republicans out of the wilderness.

[magellan]

Go West!

[FR_addict]

“No. I have not yet begun to fight, as John Paul Jones said.”

Thanks for posting. Saw him on Chris Wallace’s show yesterday. I hope we hear a lot from him. From his statement above, I think we will.

Go Allen go!

[FES0844]

My hero. Hopefully, someday my President!

[wombtotomb]

I love this man. Wrote him several times after he lost his previous bid for the seat begging him to run for governor of FL instead (I wanted him here to fix florida first, call me selfish ;) . Glad he was elected. I would LOVE to see him on the ticket with Palin in 2012....unstoppable!

You were raised in Atlanta, in a military family of Democrats, and were the middle of three boys. Are your wife and two daughters Republicans?[Because, as all people of sensitivity and education know, women are more enlightened than right-wing Neanderthals like you. We'd so love to see a scary man like you humiliated by dissension in the ranks at home.]

After all of the crap that I was put through in this election campaign, I don’t think they’ll be liberals any time soon.

I love the smell of roasting Stalinists in the morning.

[freekitty]

I like him. We have waited so long for someone like Rep West.

[New Jersey Realist]

From what I know today, this man would get my vote in 2012 as VP or even P!

[Dawgreg]

Very impressive man. Stands on principles.....so needed in the Congress today. :(

[CDFingers]

I would like to see the whole interview, this link was edited, but it probably went something like this:

Slimes: You are a Black man that loves this country and say that you want us to be true to our founding principles. Is that correct?

West: Yes.

Slimes: Really?

West: Yes Really!

[Joe Boucher]

One impressive young man.

[Westbrook]

Wow!!

What a PATRIOT!

I couldn’t be more proud of any Congressman. I wish he were my Congressman, or that I had one worthy to shine his shoes.

[mosaicwolf]

The fact that he is Black is meaningless to all of us former retired military men and women. (Officers and enlisted) We learn early on that we all bleed red. Military men and women base everything on strength of character, integrity, and honor. We depend on one another for our survival. That is one reason there are so few of us in the political arena. Let us hope more and more military run for political office and clean up the cesspool of corruption and dishonor that exists in Washington DC and in many state houses.

Create a great New Year to all Freepers

Resolve to be better next year.

Better informed - better prepared - better equipped

[Inspectorette]

Just wow! He may be the answer to our prayers!

[ScottinVA]

LTC West, God Bless you! You’re up to bat... go get ‘em!!

[Carley]

WAY TO GO!!! SIR!!!!

GO TO HELL NEW YORK TIMES.

[KJC1]

He is such a breath of fresh air. It is rare these days to feel energized by and excited about a politician, but from everything I’ve followed about West so far he is the real deal and exactly what this country needs.

[publana]

This man is what our first black POTUS should have been. A man of honor and worthy of respect. Obama cheated this country on so many levels.

Go get them Rep West! The American people are counting on you to help right the many wrongs done to us by the demwits.
