Freepers worst news tonight was that Allen West lost to Patrick Murphy.

so they want West to to run in 2016 ..lol..here are some comments from freeperland.

"Thanks for the bad news- heartbreaking. Most disappointing loss of the night because unlike Aiken, etc. it was 100% undeserved."

"West needs to run on the next race avail in Florida, I wanna see him run in 2016"

"Just damn. "

"My heart grieves, he is the one honest, good, decent, “black man” running. I pray for him and his family."

"Can’t say he wasn’t combative enough. I wonder if he would have been better-served by focusing on the economy."

"Mia Love lost too?
Dammit! "

"ell..he is now free to devote himself to 2016....he has the leadership skills, he has the right ideology, and with another 4 years of Obama there should be a target rich environment for him to attack any democrat who much seek to assume Barry’s mantle - that is provided Barry wants to give up the gig by 2016....if he’s packed the SCOTUS with his stooges he can almost do anything he wants..."

I guess it was asking to much for Michele Bachmann to have joined him.

and Hillary got 95% of the black vote against West. I guess those black people would then be voting for Hillary because she's white, eh John Sununu?

I know. I talked to them over the phone. West even ran ads accusing Murphy of being a racist. Epic fail.

I also thought the commercials charging Murphy with racism were really aimed at West's white supporters. They could vote for one black man in the little office and prove that they were not racist when they voted against the other black man for the big office. Propping up self-esteem for fragile egos...

Probably 90%.

Black people are smarter than to judge people by skin color. I'm black. I know this. =p

West may look similar to them but he doesn't act similarly or have the same values.

West is going to run out of congressional districts he can carpetbag in before too much longer.
