Rep. West: Tea Party is 'schizo' - Jennifer Epstein - POLITICO.com
I doubt we're going to be seeing as much support for Rep. West remarks by "Conservatives" as we did from this thread:

Rep. Allen West said Friday that the tea party movement has schizophrenia if its going to primary him for supporting House Speaker John Boehners bill to raise the debt ceiling.
If the folks who one minute theyre saying that Im their tea party hero and what, three or four days later Im a tea party defector that kind of schizophrenia Im not going to get involved in it, The Florida Republican said on The Laura Ingraham Show.
Several tea party groups including Tea Party Express, Tea Party Nation and United West have said this week that they will support primary opponents to West and several other Republican freshmen if they support the Boehner bill.
But West, who represents a district on the east coast of Florida, insisted that he will support the Boehner bill. If they want to bring forth a primary challenge then so be it, he said.
