The establishment is fighting back, alright.

This has not received a lot of national attention, but the Republican legislature in Florida is about to push through a plan which puts Allen West at serious risk, and the person leading the effort is one of Mitt Romney’s spokemen. As reported by The Shark Tank:

We are clearly at war in our party. Newt is our battle plan.

I certainly hope Newt uses this in a advertisement blasted across the state.

Talk about fish in a barrel.

re: "Newt should ask him to be his VP." As it happens, U.S. Rep. Allen West won’t ‘turn my back on my country’ if asked to run for vice president Reiterating . . .AND . . .standing firm on his 2011 statement Allen West leaves door open to 2012 VP slot

In the past two decades - an entire generation - WHEN has the GOP fought ANY Democrat as hard as they are now fighting conservatives?

After hearing West last night, I think he'd accept Newt's offer!

What a combination that would make!

Pretty sad when your own party sets out to get you out of office. Hmmmmm, a great ad for a Gingrich/West campaign? "The establishment wanted both of us gone. Why? Because we tell the truth" or something like that.

Becoming increasingly clear that for the past decade, Romney has been working a ‘grand strategy’ for this 2012 nomination.

He has had plenty of time and money to build a covert operation in every State with the help of Governors, legislators and also the GOP US Congress.

Romney bought Nikki Haley, Pam Bondi, Marco Rubio, John McCain and others. No wonder the GOP establishment has been pro-Romney and critical or silent on Newt, Santorum, Perry, Paul, Bachmann and Huntsman.

More diabolical than the Hillary vs. Obama contest and don’t underestimate the Axelrod oppo research to produce all the records of donations and promises.

Unreal...but nothing is beneath these people. And I’m talking Republicans.
What can we do to help? I am fed up to here with this kind of crap. Is this a done deal?

This CD runs along the Ocean front and with Florida's two new Congressional Districts it maybe hard to keep it in it's current configuration. At least Fl, excepting five counties, isn't under direct scrutiny from the Feds via the VRA like some other states are regarding CD lines.

Redistricting a black candidate out of office will present it’s own set of problems.

As an aside: I listened to Pam Biondi this morning and she makes absolutely no sense in defending Romney against RomneyCare.

She states that ObamaCare would bankrupt the states but RomneyCare is set up so states can make their own decision. What? She conveniently left out that if a state adopts RomneyCare, it will go bankrupt as it's just ObamaCare with a different name.

Yep>

Especially by a ‘white northern liberal’ who is perceived as a ‘conservative’.

The Republican establishment and Romney with his minions of covert ops and snipers have been trying to kill the tea Party for 2 years. Sofar they have been somewhat successful. They took out Palin. They took out Cain. They took out Backman. They humbled the new congressional members and now seek to finish things off. Remaking the Republican party into thier progressive view of things is hard work but they are going to do it even if it kills the country.. Marxism or fabian socialism is our future unless we can prevail in this election.

Yes, West is black. But West is not a “black candidate”. He is a straight arrow American Candidate.

Hyphenation is clearly not visible.
