mpohl 1 #101 November 25, 2012 Your insights are appreciated. TRUELY. Either way, another t-bagger is "over" and "out". Good riddance, West. Don't let the Good Lord hid'ya, where he split'ya!!!!!! QuoteQuote West will be ignored. Those who need his "command presence" can tune in to Faux News. This is from HQ. Over and out! QuoteQuoteAllen West, LTC, US ARMY, Ret., is not conceited. He is a retired military officer with a command presence. You know they have assholes in the military just like in real life, right? I know it's hard for brainwashed 'patriots' to realise that. Umm, it is "Over" or "Out", not both, in this case "Out" is the proper one to use. Just sayin'. Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewcline 0 #102 November 25, 2012 Eh, he is through like Gore is. They will be involved and around for many many years. Both are examples of "far" in their political stances, but both have a few good ideas. Sadly, we the citizens of the US suffer because the parties want control and power over actual action and improvement. MattAn Instructors first concern is student safety.

dmcoco84 5 #103 December 2, 2012 Quotehttp://miami.cbslocal.com/2012/11/19/two-weeks-after-election-allen-west-still-challenging-results/ The more he whines, the more West looks like Rush Limbaugh.... I hope he gets the bill for all this crap. so much for democracy. Oh, Zip It, Hayes... and the more you post the more ridiculous you look. You sure do love to make stupid comments like this. And like this: "So much for democracy"..... Really? Like talking too a wall... QuoteHowever because the recount results were not submitted before a noon deadline on Sunday; the previous results which showed Murphy ahead by a smaller margin had to be submitted to the state for certification. What a shame... What an Absolute Embarrassment. Let me borrow some words from our racist first lady (Yes I said racist; look at her college years and what she wrote about)... "This is the first time in my adult life that I am" embarrassed for "my Country." If West lost... than he lost. I didn't want him to lose, but hey, that's... A REPUBLIC. But no... They didn't even do the recount of the early votes, as they clearly saw they should and needed to do; because of double counted votes and other irregularities. They missed a damn deadline, and with no apparent "good cause." Yet good cause for an extension, hmm, "protect liberty and the integrity of elections." If people want to continue to not learn from history, American AND of the world... so be it. But can we preserve our election process at least. I had little confidence in our system (and these damn voting machines they are using in VA) before the election... worried about fraud on both sides... but now, I have even less confidence. What an Embarrassment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dmcoco84 5 #105 December 2, 2012 QuoteEither way, another t-bagger is "over" and "out". 1) There were more new Tea Party backed Senate and House seats won than lost. 2) Considering Grayson is back... will be interesting to see if West gets his seat back; once the horrors of Progressivism are felt. Americans don't seem to wake up till the pain starts. Quote 3) I would love to see him on MSNBC; like several of the Real News from The Blaze are. That would be fantastic.

When West states that we need to discuss issues and not participate in character attacks he understands. However, the Radical Left have demonstrated they are the masters in that arena. As you stated above, things will not change until we truly feel the pain of this administration. Case in point, kallend disparages your post because you tagged on your previous post. He did not listen to the interview. Another thread, jclalor dismisses Bill Whittle's speech on what Conservatives need to do and why Romney lost because at the beginning he gave recognition to Michelle Bachman.

Here's a hint, Ron: no-one here wishes your demise, or the demise of anyone in our SC community. Everyone here (I assume) wishes that all of us will have a long, happy, productive life. We may disagree, sometimes strongly so, about the best way to achieve that, but the end goal is the same for all of us. Do you really believe that the fact that I believe that no-one should be denied life-saving medical care because they are at a point in their lives where they don't have the wealth to pay in full out of pocket somehow means that I want to kill you, as much as the 9/11 terrorists wanted to kill Americans? Do you have any idea how offensive your off-the-cuff remarks are? When you say that the country is more divided than ever, does it ever occur to you that equating disagreements about the best way to achieve a stable future for the country with "terrorism" is a major factor driving that division? Although I disagree with you on many things political and religious, it would never occur to me to assume that you want to kill me over those disagreements.

billvon 2,998 #113 December 3, 2012 > There were more new Tea Party backed Senate and House seats won than lost. From a month ago: =============== Latest Election Polls: Tea Party Candidates Will Destroy Republican Hopes in 2012 Mark Kogan www.policymic.com In the closing hours of the 2012 campaign, all attention will be focused on the race for the presidency. . . .Where the Tea Party saw success in House races taking place in heavily gerrymandered districts, the Tea Party’s efforts in the Senate resulted in disaster for the GOP. Expected to have a strong shot at taking the Senate, Republican’s watched their majority slip away as Tea Party candidates bungled and offended, turning surefire wins into blow-out losses. . . . If the numbers continue trending the way they are, the Tea Party will be responsible for single-handedly delivering five Senate seats to the Democrats in two election cycles. Beyond that 10 vote swing, 2012’s Tea Party Senate candidates have also all but ensured that the Democrats will retain their 51 seat majority in the Senate. Even in the unlikely case that all six “toss-up” races go in favor of Republicans on Tuesday, the Democrats would still hold a majority thanks to Tea Party supported candidates. In short, Republican dreams of retaking the Senate in 2012 have again been demolished by a kooky cadre of Tea Party nominees that seem to specialize in little more than torpedoing their own campaigns and their party’s hopes for congressional control. The important question for Republicans to answer will be whether their home-grown monster is something worth keeping around. While the outrage and grassroots outreach provided by the Tea Party has provided an undeniable level of energy for the GOP, the handicapping of the party among the general electorate at the national level is sure to be making party leadership very nervous. How the party adjusts to this latest series of unforced errors will help determine whether Republicans may have a better shot in 2014 or whether we will see further Republican losses in both the House and the Senate. ===================== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aren't there enough issues to take a second look? Does anyone NOT think that more votes than voters, votes uncounted, missing paperwork, and other "irregularities" is a good reason to go through every ballot?
