Allen West says he'll join the Congressional Black Caucus, unless it decides "to change the name"

West told CNN he's "absolutely" going to join the overwhelmingly Democratic Congressional Black Caucus.

"I think I am more than qualified," said West, who ousted Rep. Ron Klein last week. "I am a congress-member-to-be. I am black, so I think I have every right to be a member of the Congressional black caucus
unless all of a sudden before I get there, they decided to change the name."

It is not just the color of your skin but also the content of the vitriol you spew.

Allen West does not support Civil Rights, which should preclude him from joining a group which holds this as their main objective.

West has railed against Tolerance in his election campaign, denouncing the faith of Billions of Muslims, discrediting the service of Homosexuals in the Military, and accusing the NAACP and Democrats of Racism.

West does not represent or advocate for African Americans, Minorities, or working class Americans but stands as a road block to their progress with his political positions, instead West supports policies that favor the richest whitest Americans, and the wealthiest Corporations.

What goes up, must come down.

[Allen West is RADICAL]

Don't worry. Allen West will shoot himself in the foot in due time. He is a ticking timebomb with a bad attitude and little self control. Sure he speaks well. Expect him to be on AM radio in just about 2 years.

I cannot stop laughing at the sour grapes by the liberals in these comments. It makes me feel so good to know you are feeling so much anguish LOL

The election of Adam West is actually a delicious thing. This blows up all the left's racial beliefs in their face. In America EVERYONE has a chance to become successful.
American elected Obama and is now regretting it = Not because of the color of his skin but his radical views and actions. Now, a black man that represents what is the true mainstream of America gets elected and the left can't stand it! Love it!
