No, MaryGonzo - it is not a joke. I have watched, listened and read these two candidate’s opinions and beliefs (and checked their backgrounds) - and I stick by my post -
Now - why would you think that I would post a ‘joke’ in Vanity? West speaks what we all need to hear - and so does Cain.
I think marygonzo was responding to perdogg saying that Allen West only has a 68 from Heritage.
I found this from December 2011 addressing his Heritage score, a little higher than 68 though:

Heritage Action for Americas legislative scorecard the hugely influential cheat sheet for determining conservative bona fides in Congress gives West a 74 percent rating, with 76 percent on his voting record and 33 percent on sponsorship of legislation. By comparison, fellow freshmen Huelskamp and Rep. Mick Mulvaney of South Carolina have ratings of 93 percent.
