ALLEN WEST SLAMS TEA PARTY FOR TURNING ON HIM: ‘THAT KIND OF SCHIZOPHRENIA I’M NOT GOING TO GET INVOLVED IN’ | Tea Party leaders from the Tea Party Express, Tea Party Nation, Tea Party Founding Fathers, and United West are http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/174289-tea-party-groups-targeting-four-defectors">targeting their hero Rep. Allen West (R-FL) and three other GOP freshman for supposedly trading in their Tea Party principles to support House Speaker John Boehner’s (R-OH) debt ceiling plan. Chaffing under his new title of “Tea Party defector,” West scoffed at his supporters’ derision this morning on the Laura Ingraham Show. “If (Tea Party) folks, one minute they are saying I’m their Tea Party hero and three, four days later I’m their tea party defector, that kind of schizophrenia I’m not going to get involved in,” he said. Listen here:

UPDATEIn response to West’s charge, Tea Party National Convention organizer Tom Trento said, “The explanation to that schizophrenia is simple…the focus is on the principle.” As for West, Trento bit back, “The individual representing that principle changed. The focus is on the principle. That’s not schizophrenic.“

1. Turning on the King Daddy Teabagger of them all

:wow: :rofl:

:popcorn:

:nopity:

You reap what you've sown, Allen. They've just been taking their cues from you.

BTW do any of them know what Schizophrenia really is and whether or not any of them are actually suffering from it themselves?

12. Well, it's defined as:

"A mental disorder that makes it difficult to tell the difference between real and unreal experiences, to think logically, to have normal emotional responses, and to behave normally in social situations."

So yeah, that seems to fit the entire movement.

6. This intra-party war is nothing but great. Their monster is acting like...a monster.

And the President has done another end-around the useless media outlets, reminding people to TWEET and giving them the Twitter handles of Congressional R's.

You know they're getting bombarded by sane people calling for sanity and by Teabaggers telling them to get behind Teabag dogma or else.

Good stuff.

[Supersedeas]

7. other than being principally a 'name caller,' has West ever had any principals?

A certifiable political defector calling the group that he previously affiliated with schizophrenic BECAUSE HE CHANGED IS POLITICAL POSITION. Not to justify his change in political position, but simply to LASH OUT because someone pointed out his change in political position.

How dare they expect any political accountability from Allen West!! Political accountability is only for schizophrenics in the lucid mind of one Allen West.

[monmouth]

8. I'm rather surprised at how thin-skinned he is...Will be so glad when he's gone..n/t
