http://www.addictinginfo.org/2012/12/11/allen-west-is-still-whining-i-didnt-lose-he-cheated/Just when I think I’m out of the Allen West business, he keeps pullin’ me back IN!
Whether we like it or not, welcome to the Sixth Installment of The Allen West Saga (the first five are linked below).
It appears, despite his unsuccessful and very expensive campaign, followed by a drawn-out post-election dance with the legal system to confiscate voter machines and demand recounts, leading to a begrudging if unavoidable concession, the former Tea Party congressman from the state of Florida, Allen West, is STILL unwilling to accept defeat, graciously or otherwise.
Appearing on the show of conservative radio host, Mark Levin, last week, West persisted in painting himself as the victim not of a disapproving electorate, but of a lyin’, cheatin’, stealin’ con man: his opponent, Patrick Murphy. According to a piece by Think Progress, West makes no bones about his take on the election:
The Tea Party congressman appears to be handling the loss acrimoniously. Appearing on Mark Levin’s radio show last Thursday, West accused Murphy of only winning by breaking the rules. “I’m not going away just because of a congressional race where he seems to have to cheat to beat me,” said West. He did not specify precisely how Murphy supposedly cheated.
