Agreed. Both men are good men, and loyal Americans who would be many orders of magnitude...eons better than Obama and his progresive/marxist admin and cohorts in the House and Senate.

Agreed. Both are patriots, and have my respect. Was George Washington a politician? Was Dwight Eisenhower? Those are just two that immediately come to mind.

Let’s leave West alone and he will have the opportunity to grow by experience. In 8 years, or 16, he will have an awesome resume. Same for Rubio. Let these gentlemen have the time to learn and grow. We’ll get back to them later.

Your analysis bears repeating.

“West is a good man, a loyal American who has served his country well...and will continue to do so. Very conservative and I like him a lot.

But, IMHO,he was very premature in calling for Cain to quit the race, and played into the progressive/left’s hands in doing so. We cannot allow ourselves or candidates to be intimidated by disgusting, non-credible, un-substantiated hatchet job attacks into giving up...or they will play that tune against every single one.

I am surprised that he took a shot at Cain after what he has been through with Debbie Wasserman Schultz et al.

Really? You wipe it away as a blown out of proportion issue, instead of a “you lie” matter as far as criticism founded or unfounded is concerned...you are a waste and propagandist.

“I’m not going to say it. I’m not going to say it. … Tutti-frutti. I know I’m going to get in trouble!” he told GQ in a forthcoming interview, according to POLITICO Playbook.

GET REAL. CAIN IS NOT SOME PERFECT ‘GOP GOD’ OR ‘SAVIOR.’

So you let slide Cain and not West for stating their thoughts and opiniions?

Get out of my face and get freakin’ real!!! Our country is at stake!

Did he call for Bachmann to exit the race? West did. Get real. Apples and oranges.

Cain needs to step aside and hiring L. Lin Wood as his attorney shows he lacks judgement.

Is that the Allen West that voted for the Unconstitutional Senate Super Committee? I think so.

My problem is not with Cain...it is with you and the blinding stars in your eyes about Cain.

Cain is no perfect candidate, business man, or human.

I accept him as an imperfect candidate and recognize all his flaws and gaffes. Calling another candidate racist, tutti-fruiti, and all the other stuff demenstrates he is not this perfection you try to hold him up to be.

Getting the stars out of our eyes and not living in denial of the imperfect nature of our candidates will be more beneficial than holding a discussion based on a stated lie and propaganda.

Here is your lie again: “ Herman Cain has not criticized ANY other nominee, nor run ads against them.”

PS: We also still have freedom of speech that last I checked and Allen West is very much entitled to his last time I checked. Nobody says you have to like his conclusions.

Nor do I. He is exceptionally flawed, as we have seen, and is likely 48 hrs from being done. But West is carrying water for the establishment to go after Cain, and that is unacceptable. P.S. Once again, for you to take Cain's "tutti fruiti" line as an "attack" is just silly. Get over yourself.

The line shows a lack of respect for dare I say women....nothing can make a woman more vindictive than if they are disrespected.

Yes, it was an attack. Soft maybe...but still an unfounded attack on a female candidate.

Get over yourself.

We so often forget we are electing a flawed human being, even Jesus reminded us to use care in throwing stones and about timber's in our own eye...

That is a very good point. I'm sorry I didn't see your post earlier, FRiend. :)
