10. That's Allen West, who ought to be at the Hauge not seated in Congress...

I guess we're like Russia now, where the guy wanted for killing Litvinenko is now seated in the Duma.

Allen West beating Ron Klein.

9. 2012 I will be donating to his PRIMARY opponent!

Apparently the district is securely Republican. So if he can't be replaced by a Democrat then I'd just like to really see traitors like this OUT of office. Hopefully some Republican will come along and challenge him, and if so I'd support them even if I disagree with them on everything else. Because one thing I do agree on is that Republicans do not represent black people or their interests.
