Allen West Compares Himself To Abraham Lincoln

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.), who lost his congressional reelection bid to Democrat Patrick Murphy, said Friday that his recent defeat does not mean his political career is over, pointing out that Abraham Lincoln only served one term in Congress.

During an interview with NPR, host Michel Martin asked the often outspoken congressman what he intends to do after he leaves office, just two years after his 2011 debut on Capitol Hill.

"Look, you know, God closes a door so that he can open up greater doors. I will continue to, you know, stand up and fight for this country. That's my goal," West said. "And always remember, Abraham Lincoln only served one term in Congress, too."

It’s unfortunate he refuses to ‘fight’ for everyone in the country.

Pointing out that Lincoln only served one term in Congress is comparing himself to him how? The only thing West did was say despite his loss he will continue to try find ways to serve his Country I never cease to be amazed how people find things in statements that aren't there.

because your talking to a person who claims he is something he is not......for a Jerk like LaKoota.....making things up is easy...

Everyone knows Obama is Lincoln.

Obama WAS FDR but now he's Lincoln.

I suspect he'll soon be Nixon.

Chris has already said he is the Democrats Reagan....

Uncle Tom West is hilarious. Almost as funny as Daisy Mae Mooseburger.

and dont forget yourself "Iron Eyes".....your phoniness is hilarious....

And of course if the Lincoln reference is some sort of clumsy hint as to a future presidential bid, the democrats would love nothing more.

He’d be better than Palin.

My Obama vote allows me to call scumbag West anything I wish.

and my vote for Mo Howard allows me to call you anything i wish......ok "Iron Eyes" Phony....

My Obama vote allows me to call scumbag West anything I wish.

Well then my freedom of speech allows me to call you a bigoted racist hypocrite that you have proven yourself to be many times.

For when a poster shows who they truly are.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

Racist.

 

[NYcarbineer]

About the only thing Alan West has in common with Abraham Lincoln is that they are both no longer employed by the government.

Wait, I thought he was Reagan. This is very confusing.

That probably caused the Lincoln Memorial to vibrate.

Allen West Compares Himself To Abraham Lincoln

Are we to assume that Allen West, the People's Choice, is now planning to follow Lincoln's example and run for the GOP presidential nomination for 2016?

If its true, he just made the Democratic Party's day.

Oooooh, please do.

There's nothing that makes the GOP Debates more surreal than a crazy black dude (Alan Keyes, Herman Cain) expressing his self-loathing.
