Congressman Allen West has a challenger. Patrick Murphy of Fort Lauderdale is running for the Democrat nomination. The Sun-Sentinel says Murphy, a CPA, owns an environmental company; Murphy’s family owns Coastal Construction. In a YouTube video, Murphy calls Congressman West a “right-wing extremist”. Yes, shocking.
Congressman Allen West
Watching the video for yourself:
Patrick Murphy would have to get on a step ladder just to kiss Allen West’s ass!
What’s shocking? West is, and at least he would be the first to admit he is very conservative (or as many would also call it right-wing). The question is whether he is an extremist. That’s a matter of prespective, and based upon many of the positions West holds, he could be considered one.
Definition of Extremist: One who advocates or resorts to measures beyond the norm, especially in politics.
West can do that. He is not the norm in Congress and he is in politics (which he may also agree with). So the ad could be considered factually correct.
Independent, call West what ever name you would like. One thing for sure, the group of people we have been sending to represent us have not fared very well. They have spent us into a corner, lie to us as a second nature, and write themselves the best retirement and health insurance OUR money can buy. I will give Allen the chance to make improvements to our country. I would guess that the mother country thought our fore fathers to be extremist. The Democrats are the sorriest bunch of bastards money can buy. You tell em I said so!
Sorry to disappoint you Shooter, but you can’t dance by yourself very well. Both parties set this up and both parties did this for themselves.
In the history of the US, and particularly the last 25 years, both parties have had their share of control. To date, neither has distinguished themselves very well. It seems we are at our best, as Joe Scarsborough says, when power is spread between both parties, and neither has complete control.
I only wish we could learn that in our own State Legislature. You haven’t seen anything yet, and one party controls it all. In the end, no one will like the result, and we will pay the price.
I agree in total with your comments. Looking for a better America.
