I don't think Allen West is ever going to completely go away. Besides, with his praise of Sparta (here and here) he's actually one of the more interesting right-wing figures.

A new evolution? Between this evolution and the Democrats "evolving" over gay marriage there's so much evolving going on right now it would make Charles Darwin blush .

First off, the sequester has nothing to do with abortion. Secondly, yes, it did hurt the federal civilian employees with those idiotic furloughs, but it had virtually no impact on the economy as a whole or even poor people as a whole, which is what the Democrats told us would happen.

And who said that it did??? I was responding to two issues that the poster injected into the debate on two seperate posts
The poster that I was replying to will know exactly what I was referring to.

And you are dead on wrong about the sequester...

Anyway, it's more like YOU can't stand the fact that he's irrelevant now. No one cares about that dude anymore. He's done. May as well go work as a Walmart greeter somewhere in Florida.

he got voted out by his district. he's just going to become a career politican running from district to district trying to win.

fox jumped on him for a analyst role only because he was a black conservative.

carson would be a much better candidate because he's never been in politics.

Whatever.

It's over. That's all you need to know. Allen West will never get elected to national office again.
