It's hilarious how the GOP elites are trying to prevent a black man from fleeing the plantation. More proof that the GOP is the party of the ole confederate South.
First it was the hit on Herman Cain, and now some prominent Florida Romneytards are trying to make Allen West disappear:
It has nothing to do with race. I'm wondering why anyone should join today's Republicans. And, contrary to some liberal dreamers here, republicans want very much to snag the TEA party vote. They are not embarrassed by these patriots - rather they want to pull them onto the Republican wagon and along for the ride to the polls.
Just look at what is happening within establishment Republicans against Newt, who is viewed as difficult to control vs. Romney. The establishment wants someone they can control.
Leading the redistricting effort is one of Mitt Romney’s spokemen. Florida Representative Will Weatherford, during the course of his remarks after the FL debate shed light on the redistricting process.
An unnamed legislator said that, “Allen West was screwed”, about five months before themaps were made public, leading insiders to believe that the fix was in. According to Weatherford a deal was struck between him, Senate President Mike Haridopolos, and Senator Don Gaetz to finalize these maps and push them through.
Weatherford used the excuse of needing to comply with federal law, but it is said there were other ways to comply yet not sacrifice West.

I think because the GOP strategists realize that Allen West is a liability more than he is an asset. He can rile up the cuckoos but alienates any mainstream Republicans and independents.

You did this much better than I would have but then you live down there and know what is going on. I can't see how anybody with a brain wouldn't see that Romney doesn't want West around in 2016 just in case Obama wins this fall, if he allows an election this fall.
I call it the establishment Republicans and Romney who got this map drawn. I think that Weatherford is very deeply embedded in it and he may have been the one who said that Allen is screwed. I bet not many of our left handed friends want to accept the fact that the plans were drawn up five months ago. Yes the Florida Republicans control both houses of the legislature but the establishment ones controls them, too.
Its no more than he deserves for joining the tea party. Good bye west!
Sounds like you're for the establishment.
We need people of values and principles in government - and their ranks seem to be shrinking. It's "politics as usual", in which the likes of Pelosi, Reid and Obama had their parts to play along with certain figures on the other side of the aisle, that prompted the formation of the T.E.A. Party. That's truly grass roots, fueled by being fed up with political game playing.
At least West has the courage to say that which makes others uncomfortable. Truth often has a way of doing that.
