Daily Gut Video: Lt. Col. Allen West — Internet Sensation, Congressional Candidate, Stud…

many of our brothers- and sisters- citizen warriors all, are going to come to the aid of their nation…

They took an oath- we all take the oath- to defend the country against ALL threats- both foreign, and DOMESTIC.

There is a threat to the constitutional republic, and it is from within…

Go get 'em Colonel…

I really just can't say enough about just how LIKABLE this guy is. He's really genuine and sincere and comfortable/confident. He reminds me of an alpha male version of Palin. He knows what he sees and how he sees things, your not going to challenge this mans character with impunity, he won't allow it.

I really have high hopes for Allen West, that he has the courage of his convictions is shown outwardly in an organic and indisputable way. His words resonate, his passion is evident yet not zealous. He's just really likable and I hope to hear him speak as an elected official, oh how his presence would send temblors of nervous skittishness up and down DC liberal spines. He's strong in mind and heart and in body and a gifted orator as well, things could get really interesting with this guy around in DC.

Everything you typed is spot on!

This guy is awesome! So intelligent, confident, relaxed and grounded!

Another beam of light at the end of the Dems' and Obama's tunnel-vision! I like this guy.

I don´t know much about West but what I see is impressive. Most importantly: Here is a guy who has already once sacrificed his career for, yes, the greater good. That makes him the opposite of the typical political lifer. Isn´t that exactly who people always say we need in Washington?

This SOB is going to kick some royal liberal ass! I'm sending this American money and my prayers!

This guy is great. My only concern is that if we keep calling him Colonel West, people might mistake that for Cornel West and THAT lunatic will end up in office.

From your keyboard to God's ears!!

Palin / West or West / Palin

Can you imagine the caterwauling? The fits? the twitching? please, please, please someone make it happen

I just got a thrill up my leg!
I finally understand Chris Matthews!
Wait – now I'm conflicted.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

A few years ago this guy would have be getting coffee for Bill Clinton.

Yes, the Army lost one of a great leader when they lost Lt. Col West, and all he did was take measures to save troops. I guess the Army's loss is all of America's gain. He walks the walk & talks the talk.

I would go to war with him in command, any time… any where.

Now, if I could just get him to run in the WA03….

You're probably only saying that because you're a closet racist.

With Rubio and now West, Florida is really putting up for this round of elections. I hope the Florida electorate is similarly able to come through for the country.

Someone needs to tell the Dems it's put up or shut up time.

Another Affirmative Action recipient like Big Intestine Powell.

Trust me Madre you would love Florida. The tax savings alone would be worth the move.

You are late to the party!! He has been around long enough we know he is real.

Let's have Sen Reid check out his speech style first.
/sarc off

Lt. Col West is a real leader, unlike the anti-American filth we have now that uses the Constitution for toilet paper.

Go West young Florida! Go West!

He served our country for 22 years, he is not a Muslim, he does not have a Negro dialect. That's enough name, rank and serial number for me. I only wish I could vote for him. As you can read I'm from Chicago, so you know the kind of politicians we produce. I liked us better when we were "Hog Butcher to the World".

[...] [...]

he damn sure wouldn't get that moron Clinton "coffee: – he'd propbably beat his ass first.

Democrats – racist arrogant pigs and the "home party" of the KKK

+100

John: He's too good at what he does, and too honest. He'll never allow himself to sink to the level of a politician. But then we can all dream.

I was disappointed to learn that Lt. Col. West is not running in my district (I'm in Central Florida; he's in South Florida). However, I just signed up at his website to be an internet volunteer. I'm going to do everything I can to help him get elected. I'm also going to pray that his path eventually leads to a presidential election at some point in the future. HE is the kind of person we want in the White house: a person with honor, integrity, dignity, a love for country and a willingness to sacrifice his life for service of his country. Those are qualities that are sorely lacking in DC these days.

That's good to know…I became aware of him just recently..my first reaction was positive. Unfortunately, I've had a number of positive reactions that didn't remain so. I'd rather err on the side of caution..

I just hope he doesn't do a Powell.

My husband and I just finished watching this, we both are wondering why we don't see COL West more often on othe programs? He is made for tv, we need to see more of this dude. I vaguely remember hearing about what he did while in Iraq, my husband was over there around the same time.

This is the type of person we need in washington, someone with honesty, integrity, honor, trust, morality, and every thing else that makes America great!!! go get em Colonel!!!

*facepalm* Just… *facepalm*

I thought that right away! Either arrangement on the ticket is fine, it's a bedwetters wave of recurring apoplexy waiting to happen. lulz

He's going to be a great Congressional Rep !!!!!!!!!!!! I have read he is generating a lot of enthusiasm in his district.

. . .maybe a future Presidential candidate??

Bitterweed has a good point. I'm very wary about this stuff. Far too often, in fact almost all of the time, the people I support embarrass me in some way or another large or small. One thing that I know is that Mr. West doesn't have any negative things in his past that he's hiding, his baggage is out there…..until something pops up of course….

Regrettably I'm beginning to share your sentiment regarding Michael Steele, not impressed, not by a country mile.

Just the thought of the absolute horror a West/Palin or Palin/West ticket would produce in liberals is enough to send a chill down MY leg.

[...] same topic comes up in Gutfeld’s clip. Mostly the Colonel in the clip is a great interview. I hope Florida elects [...]

Earlier posters, bittersweet et al, myself included, had concerns that leaping to judgement about Mr. West could prove to be folly. It's quite true, he's kind of lighting people up or rousing the rabble so to speak.

In the redeye segment, they discuss that viral video that got a lot of peoples attention. They discuss how he wasn't even scheduled to speak, had no prepared comments, and got out there and brought the roof down on the place.

It's what makes me willing to believe in the guy, you don't get put on the spot and wield rhetoric like that without knowing what your looking at and exactly how you feel about it. he has no barometer on the issues, there is no compromise in his words. I'm fairly certain he's hiding a flaw or two, who wouldn't, it's still incredibly refreshing to hear candidates talk in this way. You should watch it again, understanding that he's working the joint off the cuff, it's pretty impressive I really must say. Only waiting for the long term will he prove out to be real or another fake, but put him up against the snoozer your typical candidate is these days, and tell me which one motivates you.

Not even a trace of a Negro dialect!

Inspiring!

Yeah, a 22 year vet with a masters degree in political science; blatant example of AA……

Tell me, did he get a Bronze Star and a Meritorious Service Award because of AA?

Shut up, troll.

I've been sore about the marginalization of Ron Paul since they gave him the treatment during W v Gore. It's too far gone, he's marginalized and people aren't going to take him seriously, no matter how much common sense you apply. Don't tell us never mind it, your the one clinging to a dud, just and right or not. Your better off turning the loathed neocon your way to whatever extent possible than ridiculing them…. or if you prefer being soaked in Obama gasm with a criminal congress…..oki, a MORE criminal congress than ever, dive right in there buddy.

I didn't get fooled by Obama. I didn't vote for him. I'm confident I won't get fooled by Col. West. As a former U.S. Army vet I'd gladly go to battle with Col. West anytime. I am praying for his successful candacy to become a U.S. Rep. from Florida. Too bad I can't vote for him but Floridians in his district can. Send this man to Washington!! Go get 'em Col., I'll stand beside you all the way in our struggle to take back our country. We need more Patriots like Col. West leading our country!!

Wow! I like this guy!!!

This is what Dr. King meant when he spoke of being judged on content of character. How could anyone not be inspired by a man like this? Al Sharpton, you are being reduced to a cartoon.

Palin/West…. West/Palin…. I too like the sound of that. I just sent in $100 to Allen West and $50 to Scott Brown.

Allen West kicks butt. And his hair reminds me of Fireball from The Running Man. Awesome!
