As a veteran, I find it disturbing he wears an Airborne lapel pin all the time. Once your retired, get over yourself please. I'm not impressed.
How this "fresh prince of bel air" hairdo neo-con got lumped into the tea party is beyond me.

Look up Allen West's sweet deal with the Ft Lauderdale Airport. It's very telling about his character.
Ego of this guy is incredible, than again, puppets do as they are told.

Allen West considering Senate run
By Cameron Joseph - 08/16/11 09:01 AM ET
Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) is considering a run against Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.).
According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, West said Monday that he has "cracked" the door open to a possible bid.
"I cracked it open enough so that people can slip a note under the door and I can read the note and I can write back on the note 'probably not' and send it back out under the door," West said before he spoke to a Palm Beach County Tea Party gathering. "There are people here in the state of Florida that see me as a political entity and they are very trustworthy within the Republican Party structure. I should sit down and talk to them. ... But I don't think people are really going to be able to move me."West had earlier said he definitely not pursue the seat, but the GOP field thus far has failed to excite Republicans.
A recent poll of GOP voters by Quinnipiac University showed a large majority of Republicans had yet to align behind a candidate, with the purported front-runners, former Sen. George LeMieux (R-Fla.) and former Florida House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, trailing largely unknown candidates like former Army Col. Mike McCalister and former Ruth's Chris Steakhouse CEO Craig Miller.
Hasner and LeMieux both have records that are not ardently conservative, leaving an opening for a strong right-wing candidate like West to jump in the race.
The Palm Beach congressman raised $1.5 million in the last three months for his reelection to the House, more than any of the Senate candidates raised for a statewide race.
He also may have a tough time winning reelection to the House, depending on how redistricting plays out in the state. His current swing district was gerrymandered to be as Republican as the area's demographics allowed, but Florida's new redistricting laws require lawmakers not to take in partisanship when drawing the new lines. The state is also adding two new House seats for the next election, meaning all districts will have to shrink and it will be difficult to connect the two most heavily Republican parts of his district in a new map.
West will likely have to run for a more Democratic seat than the one he now holds. His current district gave President Obama 52 percent of the vote in 2008. If he stays in the House race, he will face a well-funded challenger: Both West Palm Beach Mayor Lois Frankel (D) and businessman Patrick Murphy (D) raised more than $400,000 in the last three months.
This may make a Senate bid more attractive -- if West calculates a run for higher office will be easier he may make the move.
