Allen West will not vote for the Continuing Resolution

Today more congressmen and senators are joining in not supporting the continuing resolution.

Senator Marco Rubio announced today that he did “Not come to the U.S. Senate to be part of some absurd political theatre.” He said he’ll vote against the continuing resolution because he is sick of the games being played.

And Rubio is not alone. According to Politico, Rep. Allen West is also against funding the CR.

More from Politico:

Last week, freshmen Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) also said he won’t support the bill and implied that a government shutdown might actually be good for the budget debate.

“I will NOT be voting for another short term CR,” he tweeted Wednesday. “There is a confrontation coming on this budget and the sooner we get to it the better.”

West added:

Rep. Allen West of Florida said it isn’t playing well back home and that constituents “are tired of half-measures.”

Government shutdown - a temporary relief from institutional insanity.

I guess Allen West is in no mood to play games with the critical budget SNAFU. More power to him.

I’ve got Lou Barletta and Pat Toomey! Not shabby, but I’ll take your guys any time as well. Now that’s some representation you’ve got! Two of the very best. Bob

Absolutely! Shut it down. The freaking Democrats and Keynesian Economics worshipers think that the only way to fix things is to break them and go to war, well, let’s try it out on them. Shut down the stupid federal government. The only thing we really need is the military and the FAA. And, the FAA could be done by the military.

Shut down the Fed! Save the Tax Payers!

I would vote for West for President over all other candidates, including Sarah. I wouldn’t mind a West/Palin ticket.

I think it is safe to say that 100 percent of all Freepers “LOVE” Allen West. This man is the one of few people in congress that is a true clear voice of “WE the PEOPLE”! This is a good example of how much better our 2nd tier canidates are than any of our so-called front runners.

I'm with West on this.
Check out my FReeper name. Aside from being an Army wife, and mom, I have been a contract employee for the Army Education Service for 20+ years. I have taught adult basic education and prep for the AFCT test; administered and maintained security for military and educational tests; provided educational and military library resources; maintained and supervised two computer labs. The pay is mediocre, and our hours have been cut from 40 hours to 16 hours per week. If the continuing resolution does not go through, our contract goes down, we will have no idea how long we will be out of work. Time to retire...
