Rep. Allen West (R-FL), the freshman Congressman and hero of the tea party, announced on Tuesday that he will seek re-election in a different district this year.
West will shift to Floridas 18th district, which was freed up by Rep. Tom Rooneys ® decision to run in the 17th district.
The 22nd district, where West won in 2010, was made far more favorable to Democrats under a new redistricting plan that was released last week.

(23,926 posts)As near as I can tell this "war hero" is a candy ass jerk-off whose sole claim to fame is that, in violation of the UCMJ, he fired his weapon next to the head of a captive who was fully restrained; an action for which he was cashiered. What a man!
