Political Cowardice Derails Career of Lt. Co. Dooley
Col. Allen West who had reelection stolen from him by a Left Election Board and Leftist Judges reports on how Defense Secretary fired Lt. Col. Matthew Dooley for teaching the truth about Jihad Islamic terrorism. The firing was inspired by Muslims complaining about Lt. Col. Dooley’s teaching curriculum in a military college.

Col WEST: Thrown Under the (Jihadi) Bus: Political Cowardice Derails Career of Lt. Co. Dooley

Posted by Pajamasmedia
Did the U.S. Military chose to make an example of Lt. Col. Matthew Dooley after a letter signed by 57 Muslim, Arab and South Asian organizations was sent to John Brennan criticizing government agencies for “anti-Muslim” bias? Col. West speaks with Lt. Col. Dooley’s attorney, Richard Thompson, who argues that his client is being treated unfairly, and in a manner that undermines national security. Tune in to hear the full story.
Sounding the Battle Cry
Allen West has started a Political Action Committee called Allen West Guardian Fund. I am a huge supporter of West’s Conservative and Counterjihad candor. I am also shocked that FL-18 did not overwhelmingly choose West as its Congressman on November 2012. West was gerrymandered out of his incumbent FL-22 by stoking that district with obvious Dem Party supporters. The ironic tragedy of this gerrymandering was that it happened at the hands of a Republican dominated State Congress. FL-18 went with the Dem Patrick Murphy 50.3% to West’s 49.7%. Murphy’s razor thin victory was marred by typical local Dem Party shenanigans that controlled the vote count in sections of FL-18.
The Allen West Guardian Fund PAC is new and does need the infusion of cash to begin its influence on Conservative politics. I encourage you to support West’s new PAC. Below is the email notification I received which includes a donation link.

Dear Fellow Patriot,
I’m not known as one to mince words.
On FOX, CNN, Meet the Press, and every TV show I’ve ever been on, I’ve said what I meant and meant what I said. That’s why my life of service is rooted in leading. It’s why people like you respect me for saying what I think – candidly, honestly, and succinctly.
As a Member of Congress, I was only one vote out of 435. But I was one of a few who once wore the uniform of the United States Military and who understood how to wield and preserve American power.
We love our great nation too much to sit back and take our loss in 2012 as the final verdict on America. That’s why I intend to use the newfound freedom I’ve been given to take my efforts to defeat the Obama liberal progressive agenda to the next level.
Today I’m thrilled to introduce our new PAC, the Allen West Guardian Fund. When I give the opening keynote address at CPAC on Thursday, I will outline the Guardian Fund’s plans to double our efforts to expose and combat the Obama Administration and its progressive plans, but I wanted you to be the first to know about this exciting news.
Join me in building a grassroots army to help elect 12 new hard-charging constitutional conservatives who either have a military background or are minorities committed to taking a stand against big government and President Obama for the next four years.
But this isn’t about me; it’s about America. And I can’t do it alone. So I’m asking you to stand firm as we continue this fight because that’s what our country needs and what the next generation, our children and grandchildren, deserve!
Will you stand with me by contributing $25, $50, $100 or more to the Allen West Guardian Fund today?
America is the land of the free and the home of the brave. But which one will prevail over the next four years depends on you, me, and how we together fight to win the battle for our beloved country. That’s why we’ve set an ambitious goal of raising $5 Million in the next 24 months to fund this operation.
As a soldier, I know what America needs to secure the future for the next generations.
o First and foremost, Americans want to be safe. Safe at work, safe at home, safe from radical Islamic terrorism.
o Second, Americans want to be free. Free to start a business and to reach for the American dream. Free to do what they are promised to be free to do in the U.S. Constitution. Free to retire without debt, without remorse, and without bankrupting their children’s future.
o Third, Americans want to be respected and told the truth by the leaders they elect. President Obama does not tell the truth nor is he trustworthy. He’s lied about Obamacare, he’s lied about raising taxes, he’s lied about spending, and he’s lied about putting America first.
The bottom line—America is heading down the wrong path. The liberal progressives in Washington view the United States of America as their experimental laboratory for their failed leftist policies, and we must stop them. That’s why I’m asking for your support of the Allen West Guardian Fund today. Please follow this link to contribute $25, $50, $100 or more today.
Thank you in advance for your support and God bless America.
Steadfast and loyal,
Lt. Col. Allen B. West, USA (ret)
U.S. Congressman (2011-2013)
P.S. Now that I’m not constrained by my duties as a Congressman, I can focus my efforts on revealing the truth about Barack Obama’s dangerous plan for America and the left’s progressive social experiments. I’m thrilled to announce the Allen West Guardian Fund which will help to elect 12 new Constitutional conservatives and defend our Constitution. But I’m counting on you to help us raise $5 million over the next 24 months. Please follow this link to contribute $25, $50, $100 or more today.

ALERT: Draft Allen West for Congress
I am a HUGE supporter of former Rep. Allen West (R-FL). I don’t live in Florida so you can understand that West lost a razor thin election under dubious circumstances in the 2012 election.
I am extremely gratified to learn via email that there is a draft West campaign for Congress to rerun in his Florida District because the Dem Patrick Murphy appears to be a weak candidate.
Drafting Allen West to rerun works for me. It is obvious West was the victim of Dem conspiracy fraud.

ALERT: Draft Allen West for Congress

Dear Friend,
Months ago, we emailed you with news of our involvement in the razor-tight recount between Allen West and his opponent. Unfortunately, despite a herculean effort, Allen lost that battle, but recent developments have shown an impending opportunity to win the next one.
Please let me explain:
After November’s recount, Allen’s opponent, Patrick Murphy, has never been more vulnerable. In fact, just weeks ago, Larry Sabato (a respected political pollster at the University of Virginia) ranked Murphy as the single most vulnerable Democrat in Congress!
With such a weak alternative, conservatives across America have been calling for Allen to run again for his seat. But, as of the time I pressed send on this letter, Allen has not announced any firm intentions to run again.
That’s why, today, I’m launching a “Draft Allen West” petition to show him how united Tea Party conservatives are behind him and give him the support he needs to run again for his former seat.
Will you visit this link and sign the petition immediately? Just remember what sort of leader Allen was when he was speaking for us in Washington:
- An unapologetic opponent of Barack Obama and his agenda, leading the opposition to Obamacare from the very beginning.
- A leader against amnesty before it became a hot issue.
- As a former military officer, a leader and an authority on second amendment issues, coining the phrase “An armed man is a citizen. A disarmed man is a subject.”
Your signature on our petition will mean more than just a name on the internet. Every single petition signature to get Allen West back in Congress will be hand delivered to him, so that he knows just how loud the call is by We the People to have his voice back in our service.
In the last election, Allen got knocked down by a smear-campaign of lies and untruths coupled with sketchy happenings at the ballot box. But, as an American hero, we know he has the capacity to get back up, and we want him to know that we’ll be behind him when he does.
So will you visit this link and add your signature to our Draft Allen West Petition?
After signing the petition, you’ll have the opportunity to make a contribution to ensure that, should Allen decide to run again, we would have the financial resources to back him 100% through direct donations, paid advertising, and on the ground support.
Thank you for your continuous support.
Sincerely,
Todd Cefaratti

America Needs Allen West

Allen West is one of those that was a victim of voting fraud (conveniently unsubstantiated) in which Democrat election officials obviously messed with the vote counting and Liberal Judge Dan Vaughn refused to initiate a recount even with obvious improprieties in St. Lucie County. Allen West is an American hero that understands the nature of Islam and stealth jihad being practiced in the USA. Below is a 2010 speech by West relating to lawfare and terrorism in America.

Part 6 of 6: On Feb. 19, 2010, Lt Colonel Allen West: War hero, Congressional candidate (FL 22nd district) and future national leader spoke at the FREEDOM DEFENSE INITIATIVE INAUGURAL EVENT at CPAC, hosted by Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller who were at CPAC (but not a part of it).
Geller said, ” I find it most distressing that the largest gathering of conservatives in America does nothing to address the single greatest threat to our national security, our Constitution, our very way of life……
Our event, on the other hand, will feature the first public appearance of the Steve Coughlin: Former Pentagon Islam specialist, fired after pressure from Islamic infiltrators (1st public appearance).
Also speaking will be Wafa Sultan: Author, A God who Hates, viral video star of Al-Jazeera debate with Islamic cleric,
Simon Deng: Ex-slave, leading human rights activist against jihad in Sudan Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff: facing “hate speech” charges in Austria for telling the truth about Islam,
Lt Colonel Allen West: War hero, Congressional candidate (FL 22nd district), future national leader. ” The two hours allotted was NOT enough time for such an important line-up…it was riveting.

Allen West Remains Optimistic In Defeat
By Kevin Webb
December 4, 2012
Even after his defeat at the hands of young challenger Patrick Murphy in his re-election bid, Allen West (R-FL) is apparently unshaken. The GOP House Representative attempted to force a recount in some of Florida’s counties following the election, taking almost a full two weeks to concede to 29-year-old Murphy. West is optimistic about his political future, reminding NPR on Friday that “Abraham Lincoln only served one term in Congress, too.”
West has not revealed any future campaign plans, but based on his interview with NPR’s Michel Martin, he will take some personal time after he leaves office. He promised to continue to “stand up and fight for this country,” while making sure that his two teenage daughters “grow up in a great America that provides them all the opportunities that it provided to their mother and father.”
Murphy was a large underdog in this year’s campaign, with West learning both in campaign funding and spending. Still, the Florida Democrat was able to carry the same key demographics that won President Barack Obama the swing state during the election. Specifically, women helped Murphy beat out the incumbent, who were uncomfortable with GOP stances on key women’s rights issues. Becky Bond, executive director of the CREDO Mobile SuperPAC backing Murphy, commented on the strength of Florida’s women in ousting West.
“We did some message testing, and we found out that actually not only were there women in our office who the thing they really wanted to talk about was how these guys defended Planned Parenthood and wanted to talk about different kinds of rape — they were enraged by that — but we also found that our messages about women were more likely to move voters and the voters who were more likely to move were women,” Bond said during a Washington conference for progressive political groups. “So we thought, ‘This is great, we are just going to talk to women.’”
West’s $17 million raised in campaign funds were no help against mobilized minority demographics. West claimed civil rights leaders abandoned him as he fell victim to political attack ads that he deemed racist during the summer. As a black Republican, West can find little sympathy at either side of the political spectrum. After losing a re-election bid that some believed to be a slam dunk victory, his political path may be difficult going forward.

Allen West Needs Your Help
Newsmax has sent what I think is a paid sponsor email that supports Allen West. In case you are not aware the election in FL-18 is plagued with voting irregularities that smack of voting fraud. It is obvious a total recount should proceed however election officials in the district refuse to do so and the local courts are – SURPRISE – making decisions with the idiotic claim of a lack of evidence to have a recount:
“The St. Lucie judge said that the West campaign had not established sufficient evidence to warrant a recount of early voting ballots.
Last week, a judge in Palm Beach County dismissed West’s first lawsuit saying that, “the law is clear…courts should not get involved in the election process”
The email from Newsmax is sponsored by the Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA).

Re: Allen West Recount Demand
Dear Friend:
The Allen West election is not and should not be over!
Every legal vote should be counted once, and the candidate who takes office should be the one who the people – not election officials – select.
Sadly this has not been the case in Allen West’s recent election race – where Florida officials have failed to conduct a proper count.
No election should be certified until the people have confidence that their votes were counted and not disenfranchised by illegal votes or other nefarious activities.
There is compelling evidence Allen West has not been provided a proper and accurate vote count.
Already, there are multiple reports that have surfaced about “disturbing irregularities” in Rep. West’s 18th Congressional district in Florida.
Many are worried that this district has been plagued by “incompetence, illegal activity and possible fraud.”
It gets worse.
The Supervisor of Elections in one of the counties in Rep. West’s district does not even know how many votes were cast in the election!
Gertrude Walker, a Democrat, is the Election Supervisor in charge of St. Lucie County.
She has had problems in previous elections.
She initially said there were 779 provisional ballots but later said there were 691 provisional ballots and claimed the first number she reported was a “guesstimate.”
But most recently she gave a list of 713 provisional ballots but has yet to give a number of rejected provisional ballots.
This is typical of Ms. Walker.
But the bottom line is Ms. Walker has yet to give a final total of votes for the election and it has been almost two weeks.
Help Allen West – Donate Here Now
The Allen West campaign reports that:
Congressman West maintained a district wide lead of nearly 2000 votes until the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections “recounted” thousands of early ballots. Following that “recount” Congressman West trailed by 2,400 votes. In addition, there were numerous other disturbing irregularities reported at polls across St. Lucie County including the doors to polling places being locked when the polls closed in direct violation of Florida law, thereby preventing the public from witnessing the procedures used to tabulate results. The St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections office clearly ignored proper rules and procedures.
The problem in Allen West’s election started long before this recent Election Day in Florida.
Remember Palm Beach and the butterfly ballot in 2000?
Well, in 2012, Palm Beach used unreadable-by-computer absentee ballots that did not accurately list all ballot information.
The unbelievable solution was to manually “copy ballots.”
The Republican National Lawyers Association had members in Florida before Election Day observing.
I can tell you that the Democrat election officer was openly hostile to “Republican observers” and tried to throw them out.
This is a fight that is not going to end soon!
Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats want to tell you “it is over” for Allen West.
But all the ballots have not even been counted! It is not over until the people’s votes are counted.
And if we show serious irregularities, we can present that to the House committee that seats members of Congress. They can actually overrule Florida’s local Democrat officials and declare West the winner.
Even if the corrupt and/or incompetent partisan election officials in Florida chose Rep. Patrick Murphy, RNLA will keep fighting all the way to the House of Representatives until the truth comes out on who really won in Florida’s 18th District.
Right now, the RNLA is taking an active role in helping Allen West. But we need to do more.
Please help Allen West – Donate Here Now
As you may know, the RNLA is the leading Republican group fighting against vote fraud. We have been in business for 37 years and have an advisory board that includes Ronald Reagan’s former attorney general Ed Meese and George Bush’s Solicitor General Ted Olson.
We have fought these types of battles before and won.
I can assure you that Pelosi and her Union allies are pouring in money to help Patrick Murphy take this seat – and deny Allen West a fair count.
We at the RNLA are going to fight for you and Allen and demand a fair and full vote count!
But we urgently need funds to make this effort possible.

RNLA will do its part to ensure that it is the voters — not partisan Democrat election officials — who determine the results.

P.S. Everyone remembers the chaos of Florida in 2000. This time it was Rep. Allen West involved in a razor-thin election that had numerous irregularities, gross incompetence, and possible fraud. Why do the Democrats want this race over? They don’t want you to know what really happened in Florida. Allen West was targeted by Pelosi and her allies because he’s a real conservative.

Allen West Gains 300 Votes, Democrats ‘Lawyer-Up’ for Massive Recount Battle
IT IS NOT OVER FOR ALLEN WEST YET! According to TheTeaParty.net he has gained 300 more votes on his Dem opponent Patrick Murphy. Apparently the media is counting Allen out even though voting fraud is raising its ugly head and of course the fraud is on the Democratic Party side. An email from TheTeaParty.net believes there are thousands of military votes to be counted and have until November 16 to arrive. My guess is the Dems will do all they can to lose or block those ballots from being counted. Allen West is a military legend and I have no doubt that a huge amount of those military votes will lean toward West.

Allen West Gains 300 Votes, Democrats ‘Lawyer-Up’ for Massive Recount Battle
By Bob Adams
Sent: 11/9/2012 5:22 PM

Dear Fellow American:
Allen West has picked-up 300 votes in Palm Beach County!
He has now cut-down liberal Murphy’s lead to 0.066% from 0.09% yesterday.
These percentages are absolutely critical.
Because if we can get Murphy’s so-called lead down to 0.05%, it will trigger an automatic recount under Florida state law.
This has Pelosi and the Democrats in a total panic.
Nancy Pelosi, who personally put-up Patrick Murphy to take-out Allen West, is desperate to avoid a recount.
Pelosi, Murphy, and the Palm Beach County Democrats remember what happened to Al Gore in 2000.
When it’s a fair fight, the Democrats lose!
Right now, Murphy leads by 2,159 votes.
But there are still scores of overseas military ballots to be counted.
According to the Miami-Herald, “In 2008, there were several thousand military ballots in Palm Beach, St. Lucie and Martin counties. It was not clear how many were out this year, or how many had not yet been received”.
We’ll learn the results of these ballots on November 16, the deadline for them to be received.
This is good news for Allen West.
But it’s not good enough. We simply must push forward with a full recount.
Democrat Patrick Murphy knows he’s trouble.
He’s just launched a “Victory Protection Fund” to lawyer-up against Allen West.
Here’s what the ultra-liberal Murphy writes in an email:
“When other campaigns have been faced with similar situations, they have been burdened with legal bills and lengthy and expensive fights that could go on for weeks — months even. We need urgent resources for our Victory Protection Fund to make sure we can protect this victory. We would not be asking for more funds if it was not so urgent.”
And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Nancy Pelosi and George Soros will pump-in millions to defeat Allen West.
They know any recount is expensive and timely.
They also know this is a fight in the court of public opinion, too.
In 2000, George Bush won in the courts.
But he had to first win in the court of public opinion to sustain his efforts.
If America weren’t behind him, he would’ve lost.
So we can’t afford to flinch.
The conservative President Downgrade PAC is considering a major on-the-ground effort to support an Allen West recount.
The fact is we’re going to need Allen West’s leadership to fight Obama in his nightmarish second term.
If there’s ever been a time we’ve needed a man of principle to lead Republicans on Capitol Hill, it is now.
Allen West is that man.
Just yesterday, House Speaker John Boehner said there’s no mandate for “new taxes”. But he also said House Republicans are “willing to accept new revenue, under the right conditions.”
Oh, really?
We need to keep Allen West in Congress.
Please consider supporting our efforts with a donation of $5, $25, $100, $500 or more.
Thank you for all that you do.

West has a Target on Him by Leftists
John R. Houk
© August 11, 2012
I posted on the 9th that Rep. Allen West has become a major target by the American Left to make sure he is not elected for the Florida 18th District which is different than the District he is an incumbent in. Gerrymandering caused West to run in FL-18 against an increasingly well funded Democrat Patrick Murphy.
Patrick Murphy’s campaign has a Super PAC began by his father that has embarked on the Obama style of campaigning with lies. The lie is the insinuation that Allen West whoops-up on white women. Check it out:
CAMPAIGN VIDEO: Fighter
West called the ad “reprehensible, “saying it”shows a lack of regard for the issues plaguing our nation.”
The American Sunrise PAC is responsible for the video. The group was incidentally founded by the father of Congressman West’s general election opponent, Democrat Patrick Murphy, who has funneled $250,000 into the PAC.
UPDATE: The group responsible for the West advertisement has disabled all comments and ratings on their video page. The immense distaste for the ad may have pressured this move. As Blaze reporter Jason Howerton noted: The video on YouTube currently has more than 12,000 views, with 252 “dislikes” and just 16 “likes.” The move is ironic since the group responsible for the ad claims to work for “thoughtful”, “more open”, “brighter future” in politics. (UPDATE: PAC Disables Commenting & Rating On Allen West Attack Ad Depicting Him Beating Women; By Benny Johnson; The Blaze, 8/9/12 12:08 pm)
The beat up women ad is from Murphy’s daddy and there is another Leftist Super PAC called Dump West funded by George Soros to use Leftist dirty tricks to undermine West.
Allen West’s wife answered the “reprehensible” ad from lying Leftist with a Facebook post (via Allen West Republic):
Dear Facebook Friends:
First and foremost, I have been married to Allen West for over 23years. We have NEVER had a bout of violence. I am a wife, mother and businesswoman. During my marriage we have together accomplished a great deal, we married in graduate school and progressed through our professions. I have been published and travelled throughout the world. Both of our daughters are talented in their own respects with the eldest taking two beauty titles in the recent past. The Allen West that we (Aubrey, Austen and myself) know, is very intelligent, well educated, speaks several languages, well travelled, and tireless in his quest to make a difference in this world. We, as a family, volunteer, mentor, and give of our time, effort and personal treasure.
§ I know that many of you have seen the advertisement put out by Patrick Murphy‘s campaign or his father or his campaign manager or ………. It really does not matter who put it out from his camp, it was and is offensive. Take a look at the stereotypes:
§ A hint of gleaming gold between a gap toothed smile;
§ A boxing clad Allen West (he does not box) punching out not one but two white women —- one old and one young (both white).
§ Stealing the money from a crying, helpless Black man and his crying helpless son (Really? — That might just be the way that old Tom Murphy would like to see most Black men —- crying and helpless.)
§ Then finally, the money shot which is the most vulgar of all.
So, as you know, Allen was interviewed on Fox News this morning, during which he asked an important question: Where are the Black leaders who have no compunction protesting what they feel is considered “racism”? Well, here is a real gem:
NAACP spokesman Hillary Shelton said he watched the ad several times, specifically looking for the concerns raised by West, and saw nothing.
“Racist is not a term I would utilize to sum up this commercial,” Shelton told The Huffington Post. “It looks like a traditional, political, partisan commercial.”
“The language utilized doesn’t present Allen West as a stereotype of an African American,” Shelton said. “The ad has him looking very well groomed, a serious look on his face and he’s wearing a suit. The only thing superimposed is a boxing glove as a symbolic analysis of his policies being inconsistent with the values of retirees, women and African-American families.
OH.MY.GOD.
NO WONDER WE HAVE SUCH PROBLEMS IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY!!! Does this man, Mr. Shelton, even know what policies Allen West represents? Self reliance, self respect, family, education and direction. Not victimhood, as represented by the crying Black man and his son. No, Mr. Shelton, your type is out of style and you are making the NAACP into an irrelevant body. Your type is not new though, Booker T. Washington wrote:
“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs – partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.” (p. 118)
No excuses, Mr. Shelton, exist for your ignorant observation. Murphy is what we expected him to be, an opportunist for a weak son; hoping to buy his son job and himself access to greater treasure and business deal in Washington. The casting of the crying Black man and boy are exactly how he views you also. Playing the race card is one of the disgusting tricks of Murphy’s trade, to which he has no excuse. You have no excuse for not seeing this and proclaiming yourself a spokesperson for the NAACP.
I find it incredulous that the Dems Leftists are incapable of trying to campaign on what they believe in. Rather they smear their Conservative opponents to either garner fear or outrage from the voters. That isn’t leadership. That is political thuggery.

Super PAC Attack AD: Depicts Allen West Punching White Women
Posted by Laura J. Alcorn
August 9, 2012 at 8:00pm
From shark-tank:
The American Sunrise PAC has launched its first attack ad against Congressman Allen West. The political action committee was founded by the father of Congressman West’s general election opponent Democrat Patrick Murphy.
Thomas Murphy Jr. is the CEO of a Miami-based Coastal Construction Group, and he has already kicked in $250,000 (Source) into the PAC. But now those funds have been employed in the creation of a questionable ad that depicts West as a boxer who smacks around women and takes money away from middle class families.
The ad slyly uses a caricature of West and portrays him as a bully who hits women- more specifically, a white women- while he grabs money away from a “middle class” family that just happens to be a black family.
“West has socked it to Seniors, voting to end Medicare as we know it, he’s whacked women with his votes…” American Sunrise PAC
It’s a typically misleading ad from a liberal SuperPAC against a principled conservative- of course, it’s always women and minorities who are hardest hit by conservatives’ policies- never mind that it’s West who is the one on the front lines trying to bring an end to our fiscal recklessness and entitlement mentality that Democrats will give their last breath to defend.
ALLEN WEST RESPONDS TO MURPHY ATTACK AD DEPICTING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
Stuart, FL -Today Congressman Allen West released this statement in response to an ad funded by Patrick Murphy’s father depicting violence against women and seniors:
I spent my life in uniform fighting for our great nation and protecting all Americans.
The ad being run against me by my opponent’s family depicting violence against women and senior citizens is reprehensible.
It plays on stereotypes and fear to divide Americans, and it cheapens the very real and tragic occurrences of violence against women and seniors.
The American people are suffering from crushing debt, horrific tax and regulatory policies, and epic unemployment.
This classless ad shows a lack of regard for the issues plaguing our nation.
This ad reflects the sad state of politics in our Republic with those who seek to destroy a person’s character to cover for their lack of intellectual ability and integrity.”

Super PAC Attack AD: Depicts Allen West Punching White Women
Pelosi Says potential Allen West defeat "Sweet for Country”
Here is an irony in Obama’s tax the rich to spread the wealth among the poor paradigm. Rep. Allen West running in the Florida 18th Congressional is being targeted with the typical Democratic Party lies. Rather than offering a contrast between Left and Right political records the Dems are heaping dirt on West much like Obama is trying to do with Romney. The rule of thumb this election cycle by the Dems if we can’t beat’em with what we believe, then let’s lie, cheat and steal the elections. Leftist George Soros is a prime mover in financing a Super PAC on behalf of West’s likely opponent Democrat Patrick Murphy will be the recipient of that Soros money. First West has to get through a Primary running against Sheriff Martin Crowder. I wonder if the Soros-Dem Super PAC is contributing to the Republican Sheriff running the Florida District 18 against Allen West.

Nancy Pelosi Says potential Allen West defeat “Sweet for Country” – Help Him Now!

ALLEN WEST NEEDS OUR HELP,
PELOSI ATTACKING HIM WHILE IN HIS BACKYARD,
HELP US FIGHT FOR WEST!!
Congressman Allen West (R-Florida) is a pro-troop conservative freshman Member of Congress. As an African-American former military officer with service in Iraq, he has been under constant attack by the left. But instead of fighting every challenge to his record or his character, Allen West is busy doing his job, protecting and serving his constituents and all Americans.
Nancy Pelosi showed again that liberals won’t waste any chance to attack him, this time while stumping for Democratic candidates in West’s home state.
Pelosi says Allen West defeat would be sweet for country
By Anthony Mann August 6, 2012
The top Democrat in the Congress, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, said Monday that ousting Florida’s most prominent Republican, U.S. Rep. Allen West, would be sweet for the country.
Appearing in South Florida, where she’s been holding a series of private fundraising events and a public campaign event for one congressional candidate, the former U.S. House speaker was asked if not having West in the next Congress would be sweet for Democrats.
Her response: “How sweet would it be for the country?”
PELOSI DOESN’T SPEAK FOR THE COUNTRY WE ARE PROUD TO CALL HOME AND ALLEN WEST FOUGHT BRAVELY TO DEFEND
DON’T LET PELOSI SPEAK FOR YOU
PLEASE MAKE A CONTRIBUTION NOW TO HELP SAVE COL. WEST!
Since Allen West came upon the political scene in 2010 he has been a popular punching bag for the left’s attacks while he has steadfastly stood up for our troops and given the halls of Congress a loud and proud voice representing our military and its interests; just as Move America Forward Political Action Committee (MAFPAC) predicted when we supported him in 2010.
He has been attacked by politicians such as Nancy Pelosi and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, insulted by comedians such as Bill Maher and Jon Stewart and harassed by his Democratic opponent, who called him a “coward.”
Allen West won’t stoop to the level of Maher, Stewart or his opponent, Partick Murphy, so it is up to us to fight these attacks and show the people of South Florida the difference between Allen West, an honorable veteran working to better this country and his opponent, an accountant who is more interested in gaining power for his family and friends.
Patrick Murphy is an accountant who works in the family business and has raised most of his campaign money from those close to his family’s business interests (or from left-wing Democrats eager to see West defeated). He has attacked Col. West as a “coward” while he himself has never served his country in the military and has no basis to make such an insulting claim. This is the type of candidate Nancy Pelosi and President Obama support.
Allen West represents everything they fear: strong, fearless leadership ready to tackle real problems and say and do what is necessary to get the country back on track. The choice is clear.
Please help us support Allen West so he can continue to serve in Congress: PLEASE DONATE NOW!

Let’s Get some Support Stirred for Allen West’s Campaign

Gerrymandering of District election lines in the State of Florida has placed Rep. Allen West in a position to win reelection in a District redesigned to have more Democrats than Republicans and/or Conservatives. Hmm … Perhaps Leftists are growing weary of the voice of truth spoken without restraint by American hero/veteran Rep. Allen West. The irony though is redistricting is occurring under the watch of a Republican majority State Congress. So when District 22 ended up with more Dems than Republicans the outrage was Establishment GOP was trying to factor out Tea Party Republicans. Since the State Chairman in charge of redistricting is also a Mitt Romney proponent the Establishment vs. Tea Party began to move up in volume.
Unfortunately for Florida Leftists and Establishment Republicans, West’s military training has enabled him to confront any anti-West strategy with an insightful strategy of West’s own. Rep. West is simply running for election in the neighboring District 18 which more than likely has constituents denied West’s representation via gerrymandering. The Democrat that West is more than likely to face is a 28 year old CPA with family wealth as the primary source of his Dem Party campaign. That person is Patrick Murphy.
Murphy was prepared to run in Florida District 22 – the current District for Rep. West; however he switched to the same District 18 that West is moving to. Murphy had the audacity for calling decorated hero (Col.) Allen West a coward for moving from District 22 to District 18 in a bid to win reelection to Congress. Well duh, West was gerrymandered!
If one wishes to talk about cowardly politics you need to look at Patrick Murphy. Murphy didn’t move to District 18 to chase West, rather the move was motivated to avoid a costly Democratic Party primary with two experienced community Democrats in former Mayor Lois Frankel and Broward County Commissioner Kristin Jacobs.
Who is the coward? That would be virtually unknown 28 year old Patrick Murphy. You see, Murphy will be nearly unchallenged for the Dem Party nomination in Florida District 18.
Although District 18 does have a majority of Republicans registered, it is a slim margin. Rep. West will need some money to confront the wealthy disrespectful Patrick Murphy. I am certain there are many organization and/or Political Action Committees that will get behind West; however the email that alerted me to Democratic Party hijinks Move America Forward PAC. Below is the email sent to me that will give you an opportunity to support Conservative and one who exposes the dangers of Radical Islam at home and abroad in Rep. Allen West.

Congressman Allen West (R-Florida) is a freshman pro-troop conservative Member of Congress. As an African-American former military officer with service in Iraq, he has been under constant attack by the left. We are outraged that one of his political opponents – a little rich kid with inherited wealth and no achievements to his name – had the audacity to call Colonel West “a coward.”
They are going all out to defeat West by redistricting him out of office, and the pro-troop community must rise up to help this patriotic American stay in office.
Since Allen West came upon the political scene in 2010 he has been a popular punching bag for the left’s attacks while he has steadfastly represented his constituents in south Florida. He has stood up for our troops and given the halls of Congress a loud and proud voice representing our military and its interests, just as Move America Forward Political Action Committee (MAFPAC) predicted when we supported him in 2010.
I’m sure West has heard many insults hurled at him from his political opponents, but last week his would be opponent in his current Florida district, Patrick Murphy, called the revered military leader a “Coward.”
The remark was made in response to West’s announcement that he would seek re-election in a neighboring district after the Florida legislature redrew his current district with a heavy Democratic influence. We know that Allen West can stand up for himself, and that he himself has not been shy about taking on political opponents and ideas.
But to call an American hero, who served in 3 conflicts starting in Desert Storm and received a Bronze Star, a “coward”, for choosing the right district to run in, is simply absurd and offensive.
Patrick Murphy is a 28 year old accountant who works in the family business and has raised most of his campaign money from those close to his family’s business interests (or from left-wing Democrats eager to see West defeated). There is no military service in his 28 years or even any public service. Simply, it is a certified public accountant born with a silver spoon in his mouth calling a retired Lt. Col of our Armed Forces a “coward.” DISGRACEFUL!
Please help us support Allen West so he can continue to serve in Congress: PLEASE DONATE NOW !

Allen West Hero, Congressman and Islam Truther
John R. Houk
© December 22, 2011
Many may know Rep. Allen West (R-FL) as the controversial Congressman that speaks the politically incorrect but absolute truth about Islam. His success in winning election to Congress in 2010 has kind put his heroism into the forgotten zone of history. Are you aware that Rep. West was a Lt. Col. in the United States Army that served in Iraq?
Lt. Col. West’s troops captured an Islamic terrorist. West became involved in the terrorist’s interrogation. The terrorist had vital information that concerned engagement with his fellow terrorists. West used an impromptu enhanced interrogation technique and the Islamic terrorist sang like a bird. The information is believed to have saved American lives. What was West’s reward for extracting the information?
His Commanding Officer General Maj. Gen. Raymond Odierno at the advice of JAG (Military Lawyers) and undoubted fear of the MSM after Abu Ghraib decided to court martial West. The military had some high profile court martials go in favor of accused servicemen who were actually heroes rather than war criminals. West began receiving the same public campaign that portrayed as a hero rather than a war criminal. Odierno lost heart and attempted to get West to resign three days before his official retirement would kick in. Public pressure forced Odierno to give up on that ploy as well.
West ended up with his full retirement at the rank of Lt. Col.; however Odierno managed to get place a letter of reprimand. Still heroism is heroism and I have no doubt that was part of the factor that enabled his election to the House of Representatives.
Even as a Congressman West still fighting the Global War on Terrorism by exposing the dark nature of Islam. Here is an excerpt that someone found on YouTube of Rep. Allen West telling it like it is about Islam:
