As we have pointed out before, Freshman Congressman Allen West was manipulated by the Decepticon establishment into supporting various horrid legislative constructs; most damningly the raising of the debt ceiling. West joined with McCain and Boehner calling the Tea Party, hobbits, childish and damaging. Now the establishment is done with West and he’s about to find out what that means. He sold his soul (support) to them and now that he’s completed their bidding they will eliminate him.
(via Professor Jacobson) 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 spokesmen. As reported by The Shark Tank:
After last night’s [Jan. 26] Republican Presidential debate, the candidates’ respective spinmeisters made their cases to the media as to why their guy won the debate. One of Governor Mitt Romney’s spokesmen was Florida Representative Will Weatherford, and during the course of his remarks in the “Spin Room”, he shed a very dim light on the ongoing redistricting process in the Florida Legislature….
West’s congressional district inexplicably sheds the most out support as compared to all other incumbent Republican and Democrat Congressman. A few weeks back we quoted an unnamed legislator saying that, “Allen West was screwed”, a statement which was originally made about made five months before the purposed maps were made public, leading insiders to believe that the fix was in against Allen West. But in light of Weatherford’s comment, it is increasingly clear that this is a fait accompli.
According to Weatherford, those preliminary maps will not change- at the most, any additional changes would be minimal, and those changes would not make any appreciable difference from the preliminary maps. In addition, Weatherford stated that a deal was struck between him, Senate President Mike Haridopolos, and Senator Don Gaetz to finalize these maps and push them through as soon as possible.
Weatherford tried to hide behind a need to comply with federal law, but that’s obviously a dodge since there could have been many ways to comply yet not sacrifice West:
A website, SaveAllenWest, had been set up, but it appears to be too late.
One of the rising stars of the Tea Party is about to be sacrificed by the Republican establishment in Florida, led by someone spinning for Mitt Romney.
Don’t say you weren’t warned.
in that case, maybe West should jump into the pres. race…
This ‘elimination’ will sneak up on most people because the GOP will not allow it to become a MSM story (it makes them look bad). But it should serve to remind folks how horrible the GOP establishment is. There really isn’t much difference between the Obama machine and the GOP machine. The only difference is who they wash inside it.
Yeah, the GOP machine never washes the Dem’s candidates – only our own. Pfffft.
I also think this would be a good time for Allen West to get into the Presidential race. If he still doesn’t believe he’s ready, let’s get Newt to set him up as his running mate. Allen West has been so honest about everything, so bold to speak against Islam and Sharia, so dedicated to our America, surely he deserves better than this! Floridians should be complaining to every possible establishment…..Rubio among them.
I hope West learns his lesson on this. Do not compromise when you are right. If you don’t know just shut up and walk away until you do know. He went off the straight and narrow to help the old school GOP. Now they’re gonna thank him by tossing him in the dumpster.
Barnslayer, you are, as usual, nail on the head right. There is a lesson in this, for EVERY American, the lesson? Stop selling out, no more compromising our principals, stand for the truth, and if you are knocked down, you will have the courage to get back up. That is why Ron Paul is getting the numbers he is, this in spite of the lies, inuendo, and the MSM ignoring him, to the point of ridiculous. The MSM ignores Dr. Paul at their own peril, more and more people are begining to learn the truth, and the truth is, there is something dreadfully wrong with our country.
The communists have infiltrated EVERY aspect of our lives, from removing all mention of God from all public structures, to distorting what is right and wrong, to the PC indoctrination of our children. Our government now tells us what toilets we can use, what lightbulbs, and what food we eat, they have taken over most families and replaced the parents with the state. We are told that we must be all inclusive, even if it kills us, and it is killing us. Our churches have also succumbed, they have lost sight of the fact that Christianity is the harbinger of liberty, see James 1:25 in the bible, yeah I know it sounds hokey, but it is none the less the truth.
The MSM continues to sell us on the great merits of Romney, what I find amazing, the only two candidates to mention the repeal of Obamacare are Santorum and Dr. Paul. Does anyone really think that Romney is going to repeal that which is of his own heart? Dr. Paul says he will cut one trillion dollars from the budget, a budget is something this administration has’nt had in over 1000 days, the dems and repubs just keep spending our money, both parties are asshole deep in the NDAA bill; this administration has signed the UN small arms treaty, and now the ACTA treaty, which is the UN version of SOPA. One way or another the federal government is going to find a way to shut down the internet and completely censor Americans.
Mr. West needs to speak the truth, stop compromising with the dregs that are not only dems but also and especially those that are in his own party.
Allen West, i’m a Tea Party member, but have been a strong supporter of you. If you called them names well hangingout with those two lossers like mccain or that sissy cry baby boehner, you need to find new friends.romney isn’t any better either. these people are Republicans but the worst of them. they suck. Please take precautions with who you criticise and who your with. i still like you alot, but The Tea Party is good for the Country.And tell bob beckle to get off obama.GOD BLESS you Col. West
It may go even a little deeper than that. CAIR is well entrenched in the Republican Party, thanks to Grover Norquist. They are also well entrenched in FL. Col West has minced no words about the Islamists and their agenda. Check this out about Norquist on FrontPageMag.com http://frontpagemag.com/2011/12/12/how-the-muslim-brotherhood-infiltrated-the-gop/
