Lt. Colonel (Ret) Allen West

[retro]

This guy is where it's at, and he's hit the nail right on the head, and it only took him 6 minutes to do so, and without a teleprompter. He's educated (Masters in both Political Science and Political Theory), served this country in the army for 22 years, and boy is he passionate and charismatic. Watch this video and post your thoughts.

Hit what nail on the head? After watching that I have no idea what he stands for.

Does he think we need to take America back from the democrats or the republicans? Does he think that it's all corrupt government that we should be fighting against? What does he stand for?
Jesus Christ, talk about empty speech...

That would have worked at a republican convention as well as a democratic one.

Now I need to go search this guy and find out what the hell he stands for...

I guess you'll never get over your two-dimensional view, will you?
Democrats are Republicans, and vice versa. A monopolized government is the enemy.

I agree with your statement, but he doesn't even address that point... he addresses nothing, it's all fire and brimstone with no meat to his words. You can't tell people to get up and get active without first pointing them in the right direction. To be for or against someone/something. You can apply his speech to 101 different causes.

There is a reason that I have be registered Independent for 23 years... I don't stand with the dems or the repubs... they are all crooked bastards.

Good! Now that I think of it, that's the way many of your posts flow.

Who am I thinking of, then? I guess it doesn't really matter.

You got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy...that's a storybook, man.

Oh, and if that^ offends anybody, I didn't say it, our Vice President did.
