If Fla. doesn't pan out, Ga. GOP wants Allen West

All signs continue to point to a defeat for Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., in his bid for a second term, but the feisty conservative congressman is refusing to give up.

West's campaign filed papers in St. Lucie County, Fla., requesting a recount of early ballots. If granted, this would be the second recount. A previous, partial recount has already occurred and its results showed West with 1,907 fewer votes than challenger Patrick Murphy. That gave Murphy a 0.6 percent lead, which is greater than the 0.5 percent threshold Florida requires for an automatic recount.

West, however, called the first recount a "sham" and has vowed to press on. Murphy declared victory last week and is on Capitol Hill in Washington today with other newly-elected members for freshman orientation. 

At least one of West's fans is holding out hope for his congressional career. Sue Everhart, chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, said she would like West to run for office in a new state - Georgia. The move isn't so far-fetched for the Florida congressman, as West was born and raised in Atlanta.

Everhart has called West "one of the finest congressman this country's ever had," according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Looks like the Georgia GOP is taking affirmative action to fill its quota of LOONS and WACKOS by adding Allen Brainless West.

Any congressmen who makes hateful, mean-spirited, divisive comments like "Get the hell out of the United States", "I must confess, when I see anyone with an Obama 2012 bumper sticker, I recognize them as a threat to the gene pool", calling a Muslim Group "NUTS" and accusing congressmen of being Communists is UNFIT for ANY Public office.

His HATEFUL comments will NEVER be forgotten and if he runs for any public office even again, ads will be ran reminding people of the CRAZY comments he has made.

West isn't qualified to be a DOG CATCHER!

"MR"! West is reality challenged... Allen...time to get out of the way so we can lead the nation.

Everhart and West are two of the BIGGEST idiots the political system of the United States has ever produced. They COMPLETELY represent what the so-called "Republican Party" has become....her statement proves beyond ANY doubt that their particular brand of politics has absolutely nothing to do with representing the people who vote for these shills and psychos, and everything to do with hanging onto power in any way you can in order to sell said power to the highest bidder, and to impose their insane ideas on the rest of us.

**** off !

Sure Mortar, that's why Women, Blacks, Latinos and Asian Americans voted Democratic in droves 62 million strong election day. Whereas, Casper, Frosty the Snowman, the Michelin man and the Pillbury dough boy voted republican and you still lost.

Chuckle, chuckle

Another delusional Republican who believes the Republican Party propaganda. The 2012 election was the Republican Party's "there are no tanks in Bagdad" moment.

We did not vote for you West. I cast one of the votes against you myself, my wife did and so did my son. Get out! We don't want you here in our district. Can you not read the writing on the wall. The 20 year long Republican Sheriff of Martin county endorsed Murphy. What does that tell you?

Mortar, your support of deranged Allen West reveals why your numerous post are so twisted. Like minds think alike.

As a Floridian, I support West going to Georgia... or anywhere away from here.
