I dont agree with his Tort reform stance. I do agree with his Stance on illegals, expect for this crap "We have to end the failed ideal of “multiculturalism” as it pertains to subjugating American culture to every other culture. The practice of easily obtained student visas led to the horror of 9-11. We can no longer grant these visas, or any others, to citizens entering from Countries known to harboring terrorist groups, especially Islamic terrorist groups."

heh, yeah ask someone with a Student Visa how EASY it was.
Countries known to Harbor Terrorists?

Saudi Arabia where the majority of the Hijackers came from, last I checked we have military bases there and our former President was bestest friends with their king
Or do you mean Countries that have terrorist in them?
The USA itself wouldn't meet that requirement (we have over a million people of the No Fly List) and have several Terrorist hate Groups (KKK, Black Panthers ect)

Attacking Student Visas is easy, they have no representation and cant vote. You shouldnt Punish the people who are coming here LEGALLY darn it, that ass backwards.

I like his stance on the 2nd
"An armed and informed law-abiding citizenry is the best defense against an unjust government and the criminal element created by irresponsible societal benevolence and activist judges."

I would like to see where he stands on other issues, but he would make a damn fine Vice President in 2012 if you ask me.

...a fresh and refreshing voice with a welcome and timely message in this era of self-serving uncertainty and hoakum in the halls of government...

Allen West hasn't changed his core message since falling short in a run for Congress last year, but with the political winds now at his back, the retired Army officer's passionately delivered emphasis on constitutional principles of liberty, fiscal responsibility, strong national defense and free-market solutions is attracting an audience well beyond Florida's 22nd district.

This is exactly what we need in American politics - A Fresh New Wind!

I am sick to death of our "government" trying to be "transparent" and voting at 1am on the weekend ... why? Because they did not want the American public to really know what is in the bill that they themselves have NOT read either!
