'Radio talk show host Joyce Kaufman is “seriously considering” running for Congress.
She wouldn’t say much more about her plans Wednesday night after a political gathering in Coral Springs, where she tantalized the crowd about the possibility.

Kaufman, 57, is an independent, registered with no party affiliation. But she’s a favorite of conservative Republicans and enjoys a strong following among people in the tea party movement. She described herself as a “straight, evangelical, Hispanic with a Jewish heritage.”

During the 2010 campaign cycle, she was intimately involved in U.S. Rep. Allen West’s successful campaign, frequently introducing him on the campaign trail. After the election, West picked Kaufman as his chief of staff.

But that idea imploded after she was savaged by the left on MSNBC for a campaign season Internet video that showed her attempting to fire up a tea party rally with the line, “if ballots don’t work, bullets will.” Kaufman’s supporters said the comment was taken out of context.'

A real toughie...

“If I decide to run then there’s nothing … they can throw at me…. I have the thickest skin of anybody that I have ever met. I repel bullets.”

1. Why is it nowadays the words "Independent", "Non-Partisan" and "no party affiliation" . . .

. . . are usually neon signs of a sharp right turn into a brick wall?

2. Bullets aren't all you're going to repel, honey . . .

Nasty, self-righteous, arrogant . . . .

4. She IS repellant!

But she could get elected. Voter apathy gave us West and Rick Scott this time. I can hardly wait to see the next crop of crazies.

3. The con artists are scrambling to fleece the idiot teabaggers

She hopes to get some of the Koch money.

6. self proclaimed authority of nothing.

yet another ball licker repuke who loves to hear herself pontificate about her own "genius".

they are a dime a dozen these days.

bullet proof or not (as she claims), politics isn't radio blathering. It's a full contact sport.

she will flame out.
