Or, perhaps the newly-drawn District will see his merits as a leader of individuals and give him their vote.
I’ve got a feeling Arizona is going to have more commie ‘RAT Reps. after the next election too. Barry’s commandos came in here and turned our districts into a joke. The so called “courts” liked the new map though.
Of course it is a mysterious coincidence that West is outspoken (mouthy in Republican elite speak).
I don’t like any politician to have an easy time getting reelected. I can’t stand how gerrymandered our congress has become. I say start completely over and make it extremely difficult to be reelected for all of them. They get lazy and make dumb decisions if they know they don’t have to work for reelection.
Heck, even Cuba is promoting term limits for their politicians
As I said in another thread on this topic, this must be stopped. Floridians need to call their state legislators and demand that this be remidied.
As I understand it, Tom Rooney’s brother has a desire to get a seat in congress and it would be that district. Brian Rooney moved to my district in Michigan just days before announcing a 2010 run (Which failed)
Brian Rooney proved himself to be a RINO favorite during that race by running around with the main st republicans.
RINO Establishment types cannot stand conservatives, especially conservative minorities.
NAACP would be pounding the pavement. The usual faces would be in all the camera. BET would be running special programming.
Speaking ahead of Newt on Saturday, West was right to call Democrats the party of racism. He has become uppity, dared to step out of line, he doesn't know his place and he must be eliminated for fear others might follow his lead.
Friggin amendment 6, it’s sickening to see redistricting fouled up by this nonsense in Republican states.
Last week it happened in Texas..in Texas! I was blown away. If they don’t win by the rules, they change the rules to win. We are prisoners of folks with entirely too much power. I was against term limits for some time, but now they are looking good.

Just like lawyers.
Bastards
They don’t go after liberal Dems this way. :(:(:(:(:(
This is just the beginning of the GOP establishment’s attempt to purge the party of conservatives, Tea Party activists, libertarians and anyone who is not willing to kiss the ring of whichever patrician liberal these elites anoint to go down to glorious defeat against corrupt Democrat presidential nominees. This is what National Review, Townhall.com, the Wall Street Journal, Drudge, Fox News, etc., want. A nice clean, well behaved, compliant party, who will do their bidding without question and who will not “embarrass” them during their meetings with Democrats. If Newt goes down, Allan West should be nominated to run a 3rd party ticket.
My understanding was the West was SOL when Democrats got Amendments 5 & 6 passed by referendum. His current district is a gerrymandered area surrounded by Democrat voting precincts and with the new constraints, district lines similar to his current ones would have been illegal.
There's a reason Democrats pushed for those amendments.
Maybe West can survive, maybe he will lose and get a cabinet post. He'd make a terrific Secretary of State.
