Allen West Throws In The Towel

Allen West announce on his Facebook page at 5:18AM this morning he is no longer going to contest the election results and has conceded the race.

Here is what the great American Patriot had to say.

For two weeks since Election Day, we have been working to ensure every vote is counted accurately and fairly.  We have made progress towards that goal, thanks to the dedication of our supporters and their unrelenting efforts to protect the integrity of the democratic process.  While many questions remain unanswered, today I am announcing that I will take no further action to contest the outcome of this election.

While there are certainly still inaccuracies in the results, and the actions of the St. Lucie County and Palm Beach County Supervisors of Elections rightly raise questions in my mind and for many voters, after much analysis and this past weekend's recount in St. Lucie County, our legal team does not believe there are enough over-counted, undercounted or fraudulent votes to change the outcome of the election. 

While a contest of the election results might have changed the vote totals, we do not have evidence that the outcome would change.  Given the extremely high evidentiary hurdles involved in a successful challenge, I will not ask my generous supporters to help fund a drawn-out, expensive legal effort with little chance of success. Therefore, we will not contest the certification or challenge the seating of Congressman-elect Murphy.

Serving the people in the House of Representatives has been among the highest honors of my life, but this seat does not belong to me, or for that matter, to any individual.  It belongs to the people. 

I want to congratulate my opponent, Patrick Murphy, as the new Congressman from the 18th Congressional District. I pray he will serve his constituents with honor and integrity, and put the interests of our nation before his own.

I must thank my wife Angela, and my daughters Aubrey and Austen for their support, patience, understanding and most of all, love. These are three of the toughest women I know. They have sent me off to defend our nation overseas at war, and to Capitol Hill to serve our nation in the House of Representatives. They have all handled the challenges of these last few months, and the last many years, with amazing grace. I know they will be by my side for whatever is our next chapter.

I want to thank my congressional and campaign staff for their service, and most importantly, I want to thank all of our tremendous supporters who provided their time and money to power our campaign. I am humbled by the dedication and perseverance of our supporters, and their commitment to a free and prosperous America.  I cannot thank them enough for all they have done for our campaign, but most importantly, what they have done, and will continue to do for our country.  None of us should let the outcome discourage us. We should only redouble our resolve. 

Above all, I want to thank God for his blessings, and for blessing me with the opportunity to serve.

Only God knows what is in store for each of us. I have dedicated my life to serving this nation, and the results of this election will not change my purpose. Just as I did in the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan, just as I did on Capitol Hill, I will continue to fight for our Republic. 

Our nation will not overcome our challenges overnight, and the road ahead for each one of us will not be easy. But this nation would never have become that shining beacon of light if our founders had chosen the easy path 236 years ago.  We all must proudly continue their legacy.

For the protection and preservation of our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, I shall remain steadfast and loyal.  God bless you and God bless these United States of America.

We will miss you in the US House of Representatives, Lieutenant Colonel.
It's sad that a decorated military man, who really cares about our republic, has been replaced by a criminal and a socialist.

On a side note. There have been many on the right who are throwing out there of why the right lost this and the Presidential election. That we were not assertive enough. That we didn't get the message out about jobs and the economy, etc.
Well I have got one thing that sums this all up.
BULLSHIT!
Wake the hell up!
What lost this election was an uninformed electorate.
And who's to be blamed for this?
The American Media, who failed our republic in EVERY step of the way.

Slavery Still Alive in America

Last night, Representative Allen West met up with Van Susteren on the set of On the Record to remind us of who is actually still beholding to slavery in America today.

Fla. congressman explains why he believes Dems don't promote economic freedom and love 'handouts'

But I am sure MadMax-ine Waters might call him a "demon".

Of course, she has become part of the problem in Washington because she has to much to say, but with little content to back it up, when she lays claim that "These are legislators who are destroying the country" even though HER party had complete control of the government for 2 full years and STILL controlled 2/3 of the legislature and executive branch these last 2 years.

Allen West Hammers Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Allen West from Florida slams Debbie Wasserman Schultz in an email on Tuesday by calling the Democratic colleague from their state "vile, despicable and cowardly" after she called into question his stance on Medicare during the debate over a spending cap and balanced budget bill before the House.

What he said- "Look, Debbie, I understand that after I departed the House floor you directed your floor speech comments directly towards me. Let me make myself perfectly clear, you want a personal fight, I am happy to oblige. You are the most vile, unprofessional and despicable member of the US House of Representatives. If you have something to say to me, stop being a coward and say it to my face, otherwise, shut the heck up..."that you are not a Lady" and "shall not be afforded due respect from me!"

What she said on the House floor after West left- "The gentleman from Florida, who represents thousands of Medicare beneficiaries, as do I, is supportive of this plan that would increase costs for Medicare beneficiaries. Unbelievable from a member from south Florida."

Wasserman didn't have the guts to author her own response, but rather left it to her spokesperson, Jonathan Beeton- "I don't think that Congressman West is upset at the congresswoman, but rather with the fact that she highlighted that he and other Republicans are once again trying to balance the budget on the backs of seniors... The truth hurts.".

Well Wasserman and Beeton need to take a little of their own comment to heart and read the truth.


H.R.2560, SEC. 318. ENFORCEMENT OF DISCRETIONARY AND DIRECT SPENDING CAPS “(a) Implementation.—The sequesters shall be implemented as follows:

(B) Section 255 of the Balanced Budget and Control Act of 1985 shall not apply to this section, except that payments for military personnel accounts (within subfunctional category 051), TRICARE for Life, Medicare (functional category 570), military retirement, Social Security (functional category 650), veterans (functional category 700), net interest (functional category 900), and discretionary appropriations shall be exempt.

It's obvious Wasserman didn't read the bill.
