Sure. West thinks he can go against the people that got him elected and it's the Tea Party that has the problem? He's a representative. He's supposed to serve the people, not the other way around. Looks like he was getting a big head. Good thing they decided to weed him out before he got more power.
Maybe just maybe he felt he was trying to help the country to truly represent the interest of his constituency. They are obviously too stupid to think for themselves.
It's rediculous, isn't it? the tea party reminds me of the Jacobins during the French Revolution. They were the ones who guillotined anyone who even slightly deviated from the party line. Eventually their own leader--Robespierre--was killed due to his fanaticism.
Of course, the tea party won't execute people, but their eagerness to turn on one another is simply astounding. It's unsustainable in the long run. And if they destroy themselves...well...that's just fine by me.
I think this is spot on. They are modern day Jacobins who we now call terrorists.
I'm a conservative but enough is enough. Holding the country hostage for an unpassable budget amendment is insanity. John Mccain and Allen West have articulated my stance and attitude to the Tea Party's behavior accurately.
This is just an example of how fast the Tea Party will turn on one of their own. Allen West was held up as a shining example of Tea Party "diversity". Now they want to run him out of Congress.
The Tea Party is like the Mafia. If you don't toe the line 100% they will get rid of you. There is no compromise, or pragmatism, just ideology. The Tea Party is America's version of Mao's Red Guard.
are those the same people that busted into a doctors office and scream like a bunch of little girls!!!
I don't think the tea party is self-destructing at all - at least I hope it's not. The GOP is trying to figure out where it's headed, and there's a debate going on between the old stalwarts like Boehner and the new breed.
With that said, I do hope that Allen West's district can replace him with someone more dignified. I don't really care if it's a Republican or a Democrat.
