GOP hopeful Allen West takes swipes at Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio on Arizona immigration crackdown

[ccharles000]

Republican congressional hopeful Allen West has called U.S. Rep. Ron Klein, D-Boca Raton, a "coward" and said that if he gets elected he'll tell House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to "give me that damn gavel."

But his tough talk isn't just directed at Democrats.

West recently told a satellite radio show that two Florida Republican icons - former Gov. Jeb Bush and Senate candidate Marco Rubio - should be "ashamed" for not supporting Arizona's new crackdown on illegal immigrants.

Bush and Rubio had qualms about a portion of the Arizona law - since amended - that critics said gave police too much latitude to stop people and question their immigration status. Bush and Rubio also say immigration is a federal responsibility that states shouldn't tackle.

Brings to mind Jews for Hitler, Chickens for Colonel Sanders, and the Log Cabin Republicans.
