Will Allen West Leave the GOP?
Conservative hero Allen West is not happy
about the direction of the GOP, and he's
sounding off. Will he leave the GOP? No,
I’ve never seen a bigger group of
defeatists in my life. Yes, I was there and recall the countless times I had
to hear, “this is not the fight, the real fight is coming.” I must deliver a
message to the GOP: you’ve shown the American people you have no
fight in you. The consequences of this week’s Omnibus bill will be felt far
into next year, in primary elections and in the general election. There will
be the noise emanating from the progressive socialist left that the
Republican party is being taken over by “right-wing extremists.” That’s just
more Alinsky fear mongering and we’re not listening. The real extremists
are Obama and his minions and we need a group of dedicated patriots
willing to make the stand for this republic.
And I’m very familiar with the GOP establishment and what they’ll do to
someone who threatens them. I know how many fundraisers I attended
on behalf of my colleagues. I know how much money I raised for
candidates who are now members of Congress, and I’m disappointed
with those supported by the Guardian Fund who voted for this Omnibus
bill. However, I won’t be discouraged because my oath is to the Constitution
and the American people. Therefore, I’ll fight harder and recommit myself
even stronger.
Those who are discouraged by this week's omnibus bill should console themselves by
looking at the collection of political outsiders that are currently dominating the polls, while
establishment favorite Marco Rubio fails to gain the traction that political professionals
keep saying he will. The omnibus bill might look bad, but every other indicator suggests
the grassroots are taking over. As West concludes:
Will I leave the GOP? Nope, I’ll get this fixed, regardless of these behind
-the-scenes folks with money who feel they are in control — message
to y’all, you ain’t!
