In listening to Allen West over the past few years, I’d put his integrity up against virtually anyone. As well as him being a true conservative. Let me know when Christ runs for office, until then I’d take Allen West in a heartbeat to set this country back on a good path.
We have two years of political votes to judge West on. According to National Journal, he was the 110th most conservative Rep in Congress, with an overall 75% rating—though he rated only 51% conservative on the economy. (He was quite a bit higher on foreign affairs and social issues.)
Sure, he’s an imperfect conservative like most Republicans, but there’s also nothing that would commend him to presidency if he weren’t a black Republican.
