Rep. Allen West, who is retired military, knows more than a thing or two about the government procurement process. So when he grills Obama admin lackey Douglas Gordon on the executive order drafted to force companies that do business with the government to disclose their employees’ political contributions, he knows what he is talking about. The bureaucrat insists that contract officers would “never” actually use that information in weighing the awarding of contracts, but never justifies that assertion. West finally gets the bureaucrat to admit that he isn’t even in a position to assess the draft executive order, West cuts to the heart of the conversation: “Why are you here?”
This executive order would create conditions for a political pay-to-play government contracting process, while stifling political speech and creating a whole new enforcement bureaucracy. That’s the bottom line here.
BZ, Congressman West!
born February 7, 1961 in Atlanta, GA (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)
Parents were
Herman (Buck) West, born in AL
Elizabeth (Snooks) West, born in GA
Both parents were US Citizens at the time of his birth (Meets the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)
Allen West is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.
Too early for him to run for President. Wait another 4 or 8 years.
If I’m so very “racist”—as radical-liberal bloggers who like to copy my FR posts say—why do I like Allen West so much?
WE need a hundred more like him.
West is excellent here! ;-)
He respectfully, consistently and CLEARLY destroys Obama’s guy, who has NO real response to his questions.
Allen West’s FL district is vast majority white. Whole lot of racists voting for the black guy. /s
I'm pretty sure you would have to have heard it to get a sense of the real sphincter impact on Obie's little toad.
Allen West destroys an Obuggery Stooge PING!!
That’s MY MAN!!!
Every time you do that thing with ‘jus and jus’ it brings a smile to my face. ... And it causes me to wonder what precisely were the attributes which the criminal enterprise democrat party sought to exploit in the barry bass turd now lurking about the White Hut. He had near zero expereince in work history, no experience runnning anything but thuggish crowd manipulations, and lots of close ties to past and poresent criminals. He’s hired commies and socialists and tax dodgers as his inner circle of advisers, and yet the democrat party and their sickening sycophantic propaganda machine (read mainstream media) continue to worship him as their political god. Have We The People become so complacent that our Republic can be so easily aborted in favor of a federal oligarchy run by those who cheat the best at election time?
Right on: Palin/Cain 8yrs, Cain/West 8yrs, West/Bachmann 8 yrs.
When he stood up was the chair still attached to his arse?
Congressman West remains the no-nonsense combat tested colonel. More real world experience in his little finger than the community organizer Barry Dunham.
Really good possibility.
“Too early for him to run for President. Wait another 4 or 8 years.”
I agree with you. He most certainly is presidential material - tough, informed, candid, incisive and relentless - but he would benefit greatly from another term or two.
the guy evaluating the RFP will not use the info, but every democrat above him all the way to the top will, and order him not to award it to those that donate to conservatives.
