Allen West concedes

Fantastic news.

Way to redraw his district and ass him out GOP establishment, real good job!

This, too, is false. West and his supporters spread way too many falsehoods.

Florida voters in 2010 passed a constitutional amendment outlawing gerrymandering. It is impossible to get a Republican-leaning district in Southeast Florida without gerrymandering to hell. In short, the Florida GOP had almost nothing to do with West’s loss.

Just as I did in the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan, just as I did on Capitol Hill, I will continue to fight for our Republic. – Allen West

I kind of like that word, Republic.
I will support Allen West from the Flatwoods of Alabama in anything he thinks worthy.

Get em Soldier, America the Republic needs a hero.

another precinct has 141% of registered voters, vote?

Has already been disproved many, many times.

A precinct with 7 voters, receives 900 votes and These 2 examples alone, would make any person say “STOP!”

The original source for that was some guy’s Facebook status update, and it too has been disproven.

Obamacare
Dodd-Frank
Lilly Leadbetter
Saving Detroit
Pulling us out of Iraq
Tightening the screws on Iran
5 million private sector jobs

Obamacare- Increasing the cost of healthcare for everyone, reducing the availability of doctors and specialists, making nothing for tort reform, creating a lot of new taxes for all income levels, costing jobs, created a panel of unelected bureaucrats choosing what’s right for you, increasing the national debt tenthfold.

Dodd-Frank- bailing out big banks, ensuring small banks cannot do business, incentive for more bad loans, costing business to banks, making doing business with banks more costly to consumers, more cost for the government, more bureaucrats and corruption.

Lilly Leadbetter- does nothing to “equate” pay, a solution to a non- existent problem, adds cost to employers which either can’t do business as usual or won’t hire more women, turns upside down basic law concepts such as Statute of Limitation, increases legal costs for businesses which will pass on to consumers.

Saving Detroit- violating the law to avoid paying shareholders to pay union buddies instead, saved nothing other than high union salaries, costing the government billions we don’t have, costing taxpayers billions that we’ll never see again, already a massive loss of money projected to get worse as stocks for those companies keep dropping, just delays an inevitable process.

Pulling us out of Iraq- based off the original Bush timeline, large amounts of those soldiers redeployed to an escalated Afghan theater of action, new deals with Iraqui Gov extend US military presence beyond 2014.

Tightening the screws on Iran- Iran still working on their nuclear capabilities “for peaceful means”, supplying resources to extremists across the middle East including Gaza.

5 million private sector jobs- well over 5 million jobs lost under Obama alone, record number of people in unemployment, record number of people in food stamps, top 4 highest yearly deficit for any sitting president, highest accumulated debt by a sitting president, lowest labor force participation since FDR, lowest GDP since the early part of last century…

… And your point is?

Not one about the fraud occurred when elections supervisor Gertrude Walker all by herself for some reason decided to “recount” early ballots which resulted in Murphy gaining 4,000 late on election night.

Not a word about Walker’s questionable behaviour in the last couple weeks, her completely dropping out of sight and her office not answering calls, nor her mysterious hospitalization just a few days ago as the story began heating up.

No conjecture about what the obvious fraud that occurred in this one race says about other elections across the country.

Typical mush “reporting” by Ed Morrissey here. Is there anyone more worthless in all of media?

And while we’re at it, can the kooky St. Lucie conspiracy theorists come and admit they were wrong. It turns out that all voters turned in TWO voter cards in this county. Hence the falacious 147% voter participation rumors that were eagerly stoked on the right. I seriously doubt Rogue Tomato or Resist We Much will come here and account for spreading of potentially dangerous lies about the election being stolen. But at least this thread gives an opportunity to say once and for all those theories were BUNK!

Apologize for suspecting voter fraud? That would be pretty dumb.

There was of course voter fraud in this election, as there is every time Democrats run in a national election. The difficult part is proving it when our natural instinct is to move on with our lives, and the legal system typically takes longer to investigate allegations than the term of office that is the subject of the investigation.

Conceding the inability to prove a stolen election is not the same as agreeing the election was not stolen, or as declaring that there is no evidence of voter fraud.

as for West and Palin on the same stage …great… better for America that they are whining on stage together rather than in office together …

it is so upsetting that such an incredibly awesome person lost to some nobody.

hope he runs again in 2014. we haven’t seen the last of him.

Your last paragraph is something these people do not realize. They are whooping and hollering with glee…….over their own future graves which will sit right along those of we conservatives.

And you all will suffer in one form or another. It’s too bad you and yours are taking people who would do the right thing.

kim roy on November 20, 2012 at 1:28 PM

I love all the raging hollow threats you dummies spew. Ask Rush if you can get some of his Viagra and nut up ffs.

Your raging drooling faction is about to be cut loose, I will enjoy watching you eat each other in the phantom zone.

I understand that you’re disappointed your candidate lost.
But that’s all that happened.
Take comfort in how close it all was.
I never expected Murphy to be able to even come close.
I don’t think this was his winning as much as West losing.
I think AW is a smart and capable guy – but he chose the spotlight over governing. And Murphy in the end was able to use that fact as his path to victory here.

If you honest to God believe that there are no irregularities or issues with this election (not only West, but in general in different states), then you haven’t been paying attention.

But that’s okay, you aren’t alone. There are millions of fellow travelers. And you all will suffer in one form or another. It’s too bad you and yours are taking people who would do the right thing.

When I haev a well documented track record here of calling out as*holes on both sides of the aisle, you saying “Seems to me that your feigned outrage is pretty one-sided” is pretty f*cking stupid and/or clueless.

Hey, how are things going with your CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY LEADER Stephen Harper and the socialists (NDP) who have been federally embarassed and left to rot in Quebec?

Is that why you are here? Because Canada is moving to the right and there’s no place for you anymore as sane people laugh at you?

Maybe you should move to Quebec!

7 registered voters in a precinct that got 900 votes.
whatever….West deserves better.
