Allen West, et al

A Warrior Goes To Washington

“ There are some candidates who are fairly standard politicians, who adopt the 'tea party' rhetoric ... and then I think there are some politicians who are really fundamentally more tea party-ist than politician, and I think [Republican Rep.-elect Allen] West fits into that category -  Professor Kevin Wagner/WaTimes The GOP benefited, but the November election results that shifted the balance of power was more a case of  "in spite of," than "because of" the old guard.  What I learned from the 1994 earthquake election (that gave Republicans a majority in both houses for the first time in 40 years)  was there was damned little difference going on in its aftermath. My view is that our last best chance to save a great nation depends entirely on the likes of Allen West being successful, and propagating.  It'll be tough, because the old bulls still hold the committe chairs, and nary a one of them has the right stuff.  It's important then that the Allan Wests have our loud voices behind them.  USA UAS USA!
