Reparations please! tea-party star Allen West wants them

Reparations please! tea-party star Allen West wants them

Tea Party favorite Allen West (R-FL) voted with the Congressional Black Caucus to keep Pigford funding flowing to fraudsters.

But worse, Darrell Issa (R-CA), who would be the one to get investigations going.


:hysterical:
So rattle my bones all over the stones, I'm only a beggar-man whom nobody owns. Oh, see how words as old as sin, fit me like a glove.

I'm here and here I'll stay.

Unless their is some reasonable explanation for this vote, West is going to face a sh*t storm for it. The only reasonable explanation I can think of off the top of my head is that someone slipped something into the bill that is worse than continuing funding for a fraudulent program.

Could be something as simple as West voting Y knowing it would not pass...merely to appease certain folks of colored skin...
No more catchy slogans for me...I am simply fed up...4...four...4...2+2...

With enough crap about it thrown his way he;ll either explain himself or watch his support circle the drain and disappear,to become another caucus waste of space , time and effort.

I expect my politicians to be men and women of principle...your suggestion doesn't help his case one bit in my eyes.

Oh I fully agree...merely making an observation. Point being is we dont know why he did it and based on his rhetoric seems he thought he had a good reason. Dont know...and who knows what these guys get exposed to once they take office. Could be he was convinced to defect on this one. At any rate I dont care to see this supported in the least. Will be interesting to see what he says about it if anything.
