I see Rep. Allen West's FB and Twitter are attracting douches, as usual

https://www.facebook.com/AllenWestRepublic?hc_location=stream

RT @AllenWest: Hearing lots of whining from WH cuz poor POTUS has to cancel his Asian trip. Waah waah, mean ol' GOP. Hasn't Obama admin heard of Skype?


I wonder how much hate mail I'm gonna get for this comment:

It's generally frowned upon to Skype world leaders and key trading partners that help employ millions of Americans and buy billions of dollars of our exports. Part of his trip was to compete with China for business deals across Southwest Asia. But since the GOP doesn't seem to give a fuck about the US economy, I can see why they'd feel this isn't a big deal.

If you look at him, they are absolutely convinced he is an American patriot who will be elected President. These people are seriously delusional.

And yet he couldn't be re-elected in a Republican majority district after serving a single term.

I wouldn't put much stock into anything they say.

I might get some heat for this, too:

You guys are as whacked as West and I see you are buying in to his FantasyLand. He's certifiable, he has made some of the most laughable comments I've ever heard from a politician, which is really saying something. I don't know where he escaped from, but he needs to keep up with his meds until they catch him.

He was a friend of my brother's, and he's rabidly rightwing/Teabag/racist most days.

If I didn't get some solid laughs from fucking with him and the stuff he posts, I would have unfriended him long ago.
