TRR: Allen West Seeks Recount Amid Growing Vote Count Scandal

[Katzndogz]

It is a commentary on what this nation has become that an action by a military leader to save the lives of his unit is such a horrible thing. West would have been honorable, by leftist standards, had he just let them walk into an ambush and been slaughtered to the last.

 

[Zoom]

West was a dishonerable man who got out of the miltary by the skin of his teeth. He was "asked" to retire. It was either retire or face a courts martial.

Of course the right admires him. Piece of shit.

 

[Katzndogz]

I can see why the left despises West. He saved the lives of his men and scared a terrorist shitless. If that's not a person worth the left's hatred, nothing is. Maybe Alan West understands that now. The country he THOUGHT he was fighting for no longer exists. Now, the heroes are those who are complicit in the deaths of other Americans. West would have gotten a medal for a job well done had the men in that unit been killed to the last one. That's what was supposed to happen. He wasn't supposed to come in, frighten a jihadist, and thwart the plan.

West is an ultra right wing, america hating piece of shit that should have been court marshaled and thrown in jail.

So...you got nothing.

And you ducked the question: What rank did you achieve?

Now what possible bearing would that have on my ability to assess the midocre career of one Allen West?

Leftist hypocrisy is funny. When John Kerry is criticized for his activities after Vietnam, we're told in no uncertain terms that we're not allowed to criticize an honorable veteran.

Then you criticize West, who retired honorably, because you don't think he was promoted enough.

That about cover it?

Commiserating swift boating now Dave? What a hypocrite

John Kerry was a war hero, Allen West was a borderline war criminal

West took the cowards way out and chose resignation over courts martial

allen west could have been gracious in defeat, but it seems he is not capable.

Bring back titty-girl!

Rep. Allen West Embodies 'Conduct Unbecoming'

St. Lucie County voters had more info to go on concerning West than N. Broward voters did in 2010. Unlike rightwingnuts here, the real voters actually took facts about West under consideration and voted accordingly.

FL voters often get local races right - even when a conservative wins. Allen West is a deeply flawed man and therefore a one-termer in the US House.

Can you find a copy of his discharge?

Oh, wait, no, you can't. He wasn't discharged. He retired.

TRR: Allen West Seeks Recount Amid Growing Vote Count Scandal

The race for Florida’s 18th Congressional district has taken an ugly turn, with charges of incompetence, illegal activity and possible fraud on the part of local election officials. Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy has declared victory with an apparent 160,328 votes to West's 157,872. However, serious questions arose immediately about the integrity of the vote count, especially in St. Lucie County. On election night incumbent Republican Allen West had maintained a district-wide lead of nearly 2000 votes until St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker inexplicably “recounted” thousands of early ballots, resulting in 4,400 vote shift to the challenger. Observers on the scene say the process is biased and the election results are fatally compromised. Mr. West is asking a court to impound the ballots and order a recount.

--

“We are not getting to observe the vote count,” he said. Mr. Shapiro has been overseeing the process at the Riveria Beach vote tabulation center. Temporary workers are helping the local staff oversee the count of absentee ballots, those damaged by voting machines, and ballots in which the three pages have become separated. They are making new ballots to replace the damaged ones, and are required to mark them with the same votes. Florida law allows observers to be present but they are being blocked from making sure the ballots are marked accurately.
A physical barrier had been erected making it impossible for the observers to see what was going on. After repeated objections, the observers were allowed to stand behind the people reproducing the ballots. But then the ballot workers blocked their view. “Half of the people reproducing the ballots are crowding together,” Mr. Shapiro said, “to make it impossible for anyone to see what they are doing.” He added that “there is a sense that since they spend so much time obstructing our view they are not reproducing [the ballots] correctly.”
An elderly man who stood up to try to get a better look at the ballots was ordered to sit down. When he asked why, Palm Beach County Elections Supervisor Susan Bucher called a sheriff’s deputy to have him escorted out of the building. Team West volunteer Ellen Snyder has also faced the wrath of the supervisory staff. “They screamed at me twice” for asking questions she said, and threatened to have her removed.
Critical questions are also being raised about the estimated 8,000 military absentee ballots, These ballots could decide the election but were only picked up on Wednesday. They are being counted in an area that is off-limits to observers, but no explanation has been given why. Unlike the damaged ballots, the military ballots are not being reproduced but only counted. Yet from a distance Ms. Snyder saw a worker marking them. When she tried to bring this to the attention Mrs. Bucher’s assistant she was ignored. Another observer saw four military ballots in a row being peremptorily invalidated with no explanation. When Ms. Snyder tried to ask Mrs. Bucher a question about what was happening “she looked like she wanted to spit she was so mad. She is very hostile.”​

Democrats sure do hate democracy, don't they?

Not just the democrats. The republicans have done their share of cheated to get elected. I've completely lost faith in our election process. I've lost faith in our government and if Americans had enough blood of our forefathers, we would have revolted long ago...

Stupid ass fucking strawman argument, West retired while being court-martial its not like he retired on a good note after an illustrious career and as a retired enlisted person your dumbass ought to be outraged because had he been a junior enlisted or senior NCO you can bet your ass he would have been reduced and thrown out of the military but as is always the case they let officers off the hook with shit like this. Don't talk that leftist hypocrisy bullshit you fucking stupid ass rightwing nut because leftist hypocrisy is not what got his dumb ass a court martial.

He didn't save shit because there was no terrorist plot that he foiled and he admitted himself he could have been wrong so stop repeating fucking fake heroic bullshit, the so called fucking plot was to kill him specifically, not his men, it wasn't leftist hatred that got his dumb ass a court martial, I remember his court martial and why he got it, I AM in the army.

 

[Flaylo]

Its fucking funny how when you ask retarded ass rightwing nuts about Allen West as a politician they keep bring up how honorable a soldier he was but can't mentioned shit he actually accomplished as a politician, that's because he hasn't don't shit except run his mouth so that he got sent packing despite all his cries of foul with recounts is no surprise.

Yeah, if you could be coherent, that'd be great.

Meanwhile, you seem to be operating under some misconceptions. Typical.

West didn't retire while being court-martialed. That's quite simply impossible, dumbass.

The Army decided to not to court-martial West and gave him Article 15 punishment. The West retired.

The Army knows a little more about the situation that you do. Dumbass.
