Well, this is bad news. Rep. Allen West has conceded to Patrick Murphy.
“For two weeks since Election Day, we have been working to ensure every vote is counted accurately and fairly. We have made progress towards that goal, thanks to the dedication of our supporters and their unrelenting efforts to protect the integrity of the democratic process,” West said in a statement to POLITICO. “While many questions remain unanswered, today I am announcing that I will take no further action to contest the outcome of this election.”
West congratulated Murphy, saying, “I pray he will serve his constituents with honor and integrity, and put the interests of our nation before his own.” (Read More)
Seeing that Murphy is part of the Destructive party it is doubtful he will serve with honor and integrity.
@lonelycon this is bad.

When this country finally fails, these Demo-leeches, will be begging conservatives to save them. Let each and every last one of ‘em go live somewhere else.

The real tragedy is that Rick Scott and the Florida GOP redistricted West off the map…and he still nearly won anyway. West should have been a safe seat and a clear voice for not only Republicans but for conservative African-Americans for decades to come. Compare West to Jesse Jackson Jr. or Maxine Waters, or the numerous other corrupt CBC members.
Odds are very good he’ll return in two years in the massive 2014 wave election, followed hopefully by Obamee’s impeachment and removal from office.

Oh great. That’s just what the Congress needs … another Communist joining its ranks.
Thank God we still have Michele Bachmann — a true patriot and loyal American — to root out all of those Christian-hating, Muslim-loving, socialism-embracing, unAmerican conspirators lurking in the shadows of the Capitol building.
Geez, anyone can write this stuff. Who needs WND?

Allen West could easily be the person who could unite the TEA Party and other conservative/libertarian groups.

According to a post on Gateway Pundit, Allen West is not the only Conservative Republican Representative from Florida who was gerrymandered out of office by the Florida Republican Party. A woman named Sandy Adams suffered the same fate. I am saddened that Allen West has conceded, but I do not doubt that this was the only course available to him. If there was any real hope of having this mess overturned, I know he would have continued to fight. I wish he, Palin, and every other conservative candidate in this country who has been screwed over by the Republican Party power structure will now get to work to form a party that will put this country and its citizens first. I think Mitt Romney would have been a wonderful President — his business background was exactly what is needed at this critical time in our history; and I say BS to all the nitpickers who are blaming him alone for the loss. But I think it is time to see the handwriting on the wall for the Tea Party. The Republican Party insiders expect us to support their candidates (and I am glad to do so in most cases because they are still superior to the Democrat candidate). But when it comes to supporting a conservative candidate like Mourdock or Sharon Angle or Christine O’Donnell, where are the so-called “moderate” Republicans? Stabbing the conservative in the back, that’s where. I’m sick of it. I think it’s time to start now building a new party to put forward candidates who will think of more than just preserving their own little empires. Or, as Allen West would say, BAYONETS!!!!
By the way, I’m not the Arkie who has started commenting over on Diplomad. I guess I need to think up a new user name.

I hope Allen considers moving here to Michigan and running for office.
