That stupid comment just knocked him off my short list permanently.
Allen, stop eating ice cream. It has bad effects on your health and therefore imposes a societal cost. Your desire for personal pleasure has nothing to do with what should be allowed. Eat your peas.
He’ll get it from all sides for that comment.
I agree with him that BEHAVIOR is always a choice, including sexual behavior. If it were not, then rape could not be a crime.
I’m not sure what he is saying with the rest of his statement. He won’t be the nominee, so it may not matter much.

QUOTETH THE REGULAR HAGEN DAZ CUSTOMER.
They sure don’t last long once they get to Congress.
West's mistake was to try to be conciliatory. That gave them an opening to make him look stupid.

Sadly,mine too. He looked promising.
Gays know that people can be talked into being gay—which is why they actively “recruit”. Lesbians are famous for their ability to turn it “on and off”. So, its really disingenuous to say that once you’re gay, you can’t ever go back.
“Allen West: Gays Shouldnt Change Their Choice Any More Than I Should Stop Eating Ice Cream “
... or pudding.
I wish somebody would finally have the guts to stand up and say, “Homosexuality gives most normal people the creeps, and normal people have the right to not be creeped out.”
He disappointed me here, but I still support him for his strong stance against illegal immigration and especially Islam.

Jeezz....give the guy a break......how superficial can you people be.
Indeed. Jaw-droppingly. The idea that people shouldn’t consider changing behavior that is objectively harmful to them and others is ... so typical of modern society that we might as well have this conversation with our catz, for all the good it will do.
“Jeezz....give the guy a break......how superficial can you people be.”
Apparently you are pretty “superficial” also.
From your about page, “Homosexuality, like Adultery, is a choice. And, like Adultery, a Bad One.”
He's off my list of future possibilities. Like Romney, I just won't ever be voting for this guy because I have no idea what he will do or say in the future.
Sigh.
