U.S. Rep. Allen West subjected himself to a flaming blowtorch Wednesday to demonstrate the power of a revolutionary new fire retardant made by a Jupiter company.
GelTech Solutions, which has earned international recognition for what it calls a lifesaving product, invited West to participate in a firsthand demonstration of the patent-pending technology. Called FireIce, it has been featured on national TV programs like the “Stossel Show.”

The title implied this thread was about his opponents attack ad in the boxing ring against old ladies.
I saw Rep. West’s interview on Greta Van Susteren’s show on Wednesday night, and with the Romney’s VP pick on the near horizon, I thought to myself... “If only..”
That’s what I thought it was going to be too!
Ramney ( sic ) is not in this thing to win . The only thing that would convince me otherwise would be if he picked West for VP .

LOL! Same here.
IMHO, there are a great many people whose vote is teetering on Romney's VP pick.
If he follows the RINO pattern, he'll wind up shooting himself in the foot.
Col. West would be a dream come true for VP, but the Romney camp are probably too stupid to see it, AND there's no guarantee that a man of Col. Wests caliber would want himself associated with the likes of them. :-)
West is too strong for Romney to pick.
The comparison of wimp Romney to strong man West would be too great.
If only there were a way to have West chosen at the Convention to be our Presidential candidate that would be a real solution.
I don’t see Col. West going around telling business owners, “you didn’t build that.”
How great is this? A military man who understands how business operates. GO WEST!!
That’s so cool. I want a bucket of that stuff.
No it didn’t. West actually had a lit blowtorch held on his hand.
Very true. He can forget winning if he picks the RINO Portman. IMO, he'd be the worst of the bunch on the perceived short list.
If he picked West, I would be thrilled!
I’m a huge Rep. Allen West fan too, but:
1.) Is he just another pro-debt RINO?
and 2.) Is he just another RINO who wants to replace Obama”Care?”
Horse puckey.
Maybe you inferred that, but there's nothing in the title to imply it.
This what the Left does. The heat is on Harry Reid weird Reid so they have to malign a conservative. The rumors have been for years that Harry’s a wife beater so now they use West hitting white women which is a lie so the story will go away about Reid.
Rep. West got FLAMED?
Say it ain’t so...
I would think Tim Placenta would be worse.
If he follows the RINO pattern, he’ll wind up shooting himself in the foot.

I know that Chris Christie and Jeb Bush would be two in the “RINO pattern”, but they are not serious contenders. Who would you place in that category? Surely not Paul Ryan or Marco Rubio or Susan Martinez. David Petraeus, maybe? He is a social moderate. John Thune? Rob Portman?
Just curious.
