I have met Col. West, and as far as new blood is concerned, he is more than qualified to be President, far more than Obama could ever hope to be. But one step at a time, first we have to get him into the Senate, and hopefully other states will dump the Democrats they now have, especially those who rubber stamp the current policy.
ironsdes, once again with all due respect:
Why would Col, Allen West need to be a United States Senator? You have former U.S. Senator occupying your White House now!
Let'see:
George Walker Bush was never a Senator.
William Jefferson Clinton was never a Senator.
George Herbert Walker Bush was never a Senator.
Ronald Wilson Reagan was never a Senator.
Jimmy Earl Carter was never a Senator.
Gerald Randolph Ford was never a Senator.
Richard Milhaus Nixon was never a Senator.
Lyndon Baines Johnson was naver a Senator.
Dwight David Eisenhower was never a Senator.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy WAS.
Prior to them only Harry s. Truman and Benjamin Harrison were United States Senators. I got tired of research going back in history before them.
The lesson is that the most spectacular failures as Presidents were those who served as United States Senators, and the most successful ones were those who served as State Governors.
