'' I didn't know he did but that is a great question.

Quoter starters, Congressman Klein reiterated his support of the TARP and the Obama Administration's disastrous stimulus plan, while West strongly articulated his opposition to both the TARP and the Stimulus.

I just called his office and left a message for his invite and a chance for him to state as to why he should get our vote and explain the TARP issue.

Wonder if we will hear from him?

I tried sending him an email, but his site is screwed up big time.

We need to find out where he stands on Drilling and taxing oil companies.

This was the best I could find which is sort of a pocket guide to the Mr West's position on a variety of issues. Not really much to go but it sounds good.

Here is the lib take on him, which only makes me like him more. 8)

Allen West Votes to End Medicare Today, Representative Allen West (FL-22) voted to end Medicare. West chose to end Medicare and ask seniors to pay more than $12,500 for health care instead of ending taxpayer giveaways for Big Oil companies making record profits or repeal tax breaks for the ultra rich.
"Representative Allen West voted to end Medicare and raise health care costs for Florida seniors," said Jesse Ferguson of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "While Representative Allen West wouldn't touch taxpayer subsidies for Big Oil companies and tax breaks for the ultra rich, he sold out Florida seniors by ending Medicare and leaving them with the bill."

The only thing that the left has on West is the incident that happened in Iraq..

QuoteIraq interrogation incident
While serving in Taji, Iraq, West received information from an intelligence specialist about a reported plot to ambush him and his men.^[11] The alleged plot reportedly involved Yahya Jhodri Hamoodi, a civilian Iraqi police officer.^[11] Though West is said to have originally believed the reports to be a joke, several of his officers were ambushed when he was supposed to be traveling with them one week later, and at that point, West reportedly began taking the risk of a planned assassination attempt seriously. ^[11] West, who was not responsible for conducting interrogations in Iraq and had never conducted or witnessed one, had his men detain Hamoodi.^[11] In the process of detaining Mr. Hamoodi, soldiers testified that Mr. Hamoodi appeared to go for his weapon and needed to be subdued.^[11] Hamoodi was beaten by four of his soldiers from the 220th Field Artillery Battalion on the head and body.^[12] West then fired his pistol near Hamoodi's head.^[11] Hamoodi then provided West with names and information, what Hamoodi later described as "meaningless information induced by fear and pain."^[11] At least one suspect was arrested as a result, but no plans for attacks or weapons were found.^[11] West said "At the time I had to base my decision on the intelligence I received. It's possible that I was wrong about Mr. Hamoodi."^[11]
West was charged with violating articles 128 (assault) and 134 (general article) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. During a hearing held as part of an Article 32 investigation in November 2003, West stated, "I know the method I used was not right, but I wanted to take care of my soldiers."[citation needed] The charges were ultimately referred to an Article 15 proceeding rather than court-martial, at which West was fined $5,000.^[11] LTC West accepted the judgment and retired with full benefits in the summer of 2004. Asked if he would have acted differently if under similar circumstances again, West testified, "If it's about the lives of my soldiers at stake, I'd go through hell with a gasoline can."^[13] After Colonel West was relieved of his command, an interpreter said that without his presence the region he previously oversaw became more dangerous and chaotic.^[11]

Josie Thanks for the clips,Almost felt like I was watching a Rocky movie.

Not just a good video for Allen, but that lady made an excellent case against RINO.

Just got off the phone with Allens representative, nice guy and very clear headed.
First off, Allen is only running for Congress, not POTUS, he said Allen just doesn't have that kind of money.
He explained that the old guard in the PUB party have the money and aren't going to let go of it for Tea party freshmen.

But he did give me Allens media advisor and said that Allen would most likely come here and state hi case regardless, so I will be making that call a bit later.

So do you get the impression that if the money were there he would run?
I think money could be raised easily on a grass roots level...
