ShareRepublican Rep. Allen West says he is conceding the race for Florida’s 18th district to Democrat Patrick Murphy two weeks after the election.
Appearing on “Fox and Friends” early Tuesday, the first-term Congressman said his campaign is not going to challenge the results of the election, despite its earlier concerns over alleged voting irregularities and calls for a recount.
“While many questions remain unanswered, today I am announcing that I will take no further action to contest the outcome of this election,” West said in a statement.

Cant even formulate a response. When a man of honor and integrity loses to a low life scum of the earth candidate like Murphy, SHIT!
The country is being flushed down the crapper. Enjoy the ride you idiots.
Yep, except West isn’t really a man of integrity and honor, he is just another self-aggrandizing, bullshitting looter.
Have any proof to substantiate the claims, WC?
When I reviewed his financial statements I saw a man of modest means, with typical investments (200K house, 2 used vehicles, retirement). There wasn’t any sign of looting.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I won’t destroy the man’s character without some evidence.
GOP/RNC = We The Elite People of culture of corruption in Washington DC gerrymandered this debacle (West’s) as they did McCains(2008) and Romney’s(2012).
If they’re going to play “Chicago Hold ‘em” gotta get seriously well organized…not the gerrymandered, patchwork of ineffectual information gathering (parttime) and screwed-up, scatter brained “groundwork.”
New Left techie/nerds and slick Chicago political operatives put together Obama’s cohesive, totally integrated information system of on-line/real time technological behemoth, dwarfing GOP/RNC’s scatter-brained 1950′s data tracking network.
GOP/RNC just out of touch with everything political…a real detriment to all GOP candidates.
Sad, candidates like Rep. Allan West will continue to suffer from an albatross around their necks.
Thats great WC. As you circle the commode during this flush, raise your hands in the air and smile. Soon you will be joining the rest of humanity in the sewer.
You dumbass.
If you look up the definition of taqiyya you will find “A form of religious dissimulation or a legal dispensation whereby a believing Muslim can deny his faith, lie or commit otherwise illegal or blasphemous acts for the purpose of deceiving the media or the Jew ( which is what they call infidels or the rest of the world).” That nails it down right there. This a**hole W.C.(which are the initials for a toilet or water closet) doesn’t need any stinking facts he can just lie his a** off like the rest of the Muslim world. Gee, looks like ObaMao knows the definition of taqiyya also.
WC Taqiyya is not new around here. (The W.C. is for W.C. Fields)
He is a conservative. He has about 3 dozen comments on the Revo over the past 8 +/- months.
That’s why I gave him the courtesy of asking for proof of his assertions.
If it walks like a liberal and quacks like a liberal……yadda yadda yadda. If he was a conservative I”m sure he could back up his spurious claims with facts. If not then see my 1st sentence in this post.
Don’t get me wrong, most time I love the way Col West puts it on the table,
However when I sent him a e-mail regarding his vote for the pigford2 fraud settlement right after the won fast tracked the crap after his initial election.
West or his staff deemed my question not relevent enough to answer, but it has not kept him from e-mailing me weekly asking for money.
His public response for pigford2 was he did not have time to research anything before he voted to approve a multi billion dollar fast track settlemet for farm claim fraud.
That action caused me a loss of respect for him. How conservative can you really be if you vote to approve multi million dollar funding without knowing the truth of the fraud the funding is for.
How easy is it, google Pigford or Pigford 2, do 15 minutes of research and at least have a idea of what the fucking money is for.
Hells bells Breitbart has a whole section of research dedicated to it and the corrupt politicians who had turned it into a fast track for any minority to claim farm loan discrimination and get a easy 50k settlement. Even if you never farmed in your life.
As to being just another bullshitting looter I think he may have been shuck and jived into the vote for pigford by the race pimps backing the bill in congress, he was after all just a newby to politics when that happened.
I have watched him closely since and like what I have seen.
