Though Colonel Allen West is getting worked over big time by the Democrat machine in St. Lucie County, Florida, his campaign manager (Tim Edson) vows to soldier on in an uphill battle to get an accurate vote tally in a recount sought by the congressman. “We’re going to take every action necessary to get the answers we’re looking for,” Edson says. “The rule of law should be followed,” says one West attorney, as plans to appeal to the State’s Attorney and Governor Rick Scott go forward!
Democrat Secretary of Elections Supervisor Gertrude Walker, resplendent in an expensive all-black outfit accentuated with stunning silver jewelry, refused to turn over to Mr. West’s team the poll book sign-in sheets “so we can compare the number of voters signed in to the number of votes cast,” says Edson. She also refused to talk to any representatives of the media. When I asked about the procedures of the recount demanded by West, Walker’s taxpayer-funded attorney Cynthia Angelos said, “I don’t know…you’ll have to ask the board of election supervisors.” Unfortunately, they couldn’t discuss how the recount would be conducted either.
Walker, a Democrat government official for nearly 40 years who is being paid a whopping $110,000 yearly salary, is clearly stonewalling the West team as reports have surfaced that she locked out observers who wanted to watch the vote-counting at 7 p.m. on election night!
At issue at the 7 a.m. emergency Sunday meeting of the St. Lucie County election board is a 70% voter turnout and an initially announced early vote recount that morphed into a machine recount of only early votes cast on November 1, 2, and 3 because “We have to send the official count in today.” When I asked, “Aren’t you just cherry picking like Al Gore did?”, I again was stonewalled by several officials and operatives. A re-feed into the same machines was being done because a “memory card manually failed.” A worn print cartridge created such a faint print from one machine that I could barely see the numbers. I walked down one aisle at Walker’s headquarters and found it lined with uncovered boxes of ballots, boxes anyone could have picked up and removed from the building!
No one seemed to know who was responsible for determining just how many numbers were in dispute. One audience member told me that he thinks a two page ballot in St. Lucie County might have been responsible for problems and misunderstandings. He told me that a figure indicating participation by 141% of County voters arose because one official was tabulating one vote per person while another counted one vote for each page. A member of a long time Stuart, Florida media family and fellow blogger, his explanation seemed as plausible as anything else I heard during the course of the day.
No one would assure me that the recount wasn’t being done only in certain precincts possibly favorable to Democrat Patrick Murphy, or that the recount wouldn’t stop just short of the mandatory, automatic total recount figure. I repeatedly asked a number of officials why they initially promised to recount all of the early votes and then suddenly decided to recount only three particular days! No one knows. No one cares.
Additionally, the FBI was not there to ensure that the proceedings would become part of a public record. That organization can investigate and expose our beloved American military hero who turned certain defeat into a surging victory, but it can’t vet a newly re-elected president who couldn’t produce enough of his own records to obtain even the security clearance demanded of his Secret Service detail.
Strange that the FBI couldn’t show up to observe a recount for a true military veteran and hero now being hung out to dry by a corrupt Democrat machine and Democrat political newcomer whose mug shot was featured on a campaign poster! How can America survive?

hmm… I’m not feeling it.
From what I know, he kept shooting himself in the political-foot with some of the things he said. –Don’t get me wrong, I like Allen West, for the most part. And I often come right out with saying something that can cause quite a tiff with some people. But facts are facts. People are easily swayed against a politician, when such things are magnified with the mainstream media shock-factor.

Debra, are you the same one who declared that we should not vote for any presidential candidate? A person who declares that one should sit on the sidelines and not vote for any candidate for president is not qualified to advise. With your logic, a person who stands for homosexuals, abortion, and says we dont need a day of prayer, is no different from a christian man(Sure he is Morman but he still believes in Jesus Christ.) His belief may be different from ours but he is not for killing babies.) Our Bible also has verses about homosexuals and Thou shalt not kill.
We are all given the God given right to choose good from evil and if we didnt vote because we dont agree with the mormon religion, then we vote for the man who believes in the wrong things, by not voting. I think we are supposed to stand up for whats right and weigh the pro and cons and make the best choice.
you have the right to vote or not vote.
I could not do as you did. my conscience would not let me
Not to vote is like saying you give any or all the right to take your freedom and rights away.
I would rather vote for a man who believes in God and Jesus then a muslim. And to be honest, the ones that voted for obama are at the turning away from God, the one who never voted are sitting on the fence. It is not good to be nay on who should run the country.
I rather stand for God instead of turning away or sitting on the fence.
so, what makes you think YOU need to “feel” it ?, the FACTS are the democrats cheated, the Numbers dont support an obama win, to many didnt like the direction he was taking us, to many didnt like the obamacare, to many didnt like his foreign policy, and a day or two before the election those numbers evaporated ?, …what is wrong with you people, if Voter ID laws were such an Issue, why didnt Eric Holder sue Oklahoma, who was SOOOO concerned about Voter disenfranchisement ?….simple, he knew Oklahoma was WAY to red to cheat enough votes in to not be Obvious, but States like TEXAS, Ohio,Penn, Fla….those were close enough they wouldnt look so Obvious?, even if 113%-141% voter turnout occured ?, are you people that STUPID?….apparently so…
Congress must demand that Obama release his records from Occidental and Harvard along with the passport that he used to attend those institutions. If he refuses to do so, he must be stripped of his powers, since when there is massive doubt about his eligibility, he should not have the powers that are given to our president, not until he can prove that he is indeed eligibly to be president.
Refusing to take five million of the Donald’s money for a charity of BO choice is an absolute clear indicator that those documents that were buried by Elena Kagen, who knows that he is not eligible to hold office, will never see the day of light, not in my lifetime our most of our lifetime, but the truth will one day surface and if Obama has a library built after he leaves if he leaves, it will be destroyed as it should have been a long time ago.
Gabor, obama cannot possibly be eligible for President, regardless of his records, we know he was registered as a “Foreign” Student, so what is the point ?, that fact is, an 1875 US Supreme court ruled in the case of Happersett v. Minor that “Parents” must both be US Citizens to be “Natural Born”, obama’s father was NEVER a US Citizen….look it up,….but the REAL issue isnt just that, it’;s finding a court that isn’t afraid of this bunch, and willing to haul his ass into court, try and convict him for Fraud and more……..good luck finding ANYONE in the Congress or Senate ready, willing and Able to accommodate…..
I wonder how that works? 141%, mathematically impossible. Something is not right. Keep fighting to right this wrong. The leaders in contol have become too corrupt to trust, this election was a sham to the american people.
where is the sec of state and gov. ???? these scums are getting away w/ criminal acts in plain site and no cops no nothing!
Criminals have taken us over and rule us now. Even the cops are corrupt. If you have corrupt politicians you are gonna have corrupt cops because the cops usually do what the politicians tell them. Crime is a way of life in America. That’s why we’re going down — America is falling because of corruption and crime against the innocent — like the slaughter of more than 55 million unborn Americans, America’s future.
The cops are not at all like before, they are usually not a true american, they are not in no way empath. It is like they do not feel bad about killing, these new cops are more of approved obama controlled people. It is the people who are wanting to break away from the corrupt government, these are the ones that need to gether together and stand firm and do not ever denounce God and Jesus.
They may kill your body, but you will be reward with eternal life. Pray for us all.
Where are the state officials at ? They should come in and make this county offical toe the line on election laws. Today and not later, all voter deserve to have the votes counted and sure the election is on the up and up.
allen west lost. he should leave while he still has some dignity left. his statements about fraud are not based on facts, but are just an attempt to raise money from dupes. there is nothing he can do to retreive his seat. the people have spoken.. time to go… maybe he can sell burgers somewhere.

Hey, allahismonkeydung, Allen West is a great American patriot who put his life on the line for the country, but not so that left-wing crooks, including onumbnuts, could steal elections with impunity. Pull your head out!!
Buck Farack and his enablers with the same Chicago-style criminal mentality and behavior.
This whole thing is beginning to feel like a movie where the people you thought were on your side were in on the whole crooked thing from the start and are really the bad guys. I’ve stopped watching Fox news because I started getting the feeling they were slowly but surely beginning to veer left, starting with O’Reilly, almost like they’re saying “well, if ya can’t beat em’, join em!”
This is creating so much anxiety in so many people right now. I have gone through all 5 stages of grief since the election at least twice, got stuck in the anger stage here recently, and now I’m teetering with letting it go and just give it over to God now. I have done all I can do by voting to get the clown outta office, but obviously fraud overpowers the good. I will continue to do whatever I can on my little part by speaking up, but I have decided that complaining, arguing, worrying, and panicking does absolutely nothing but keep me immersed and consumed with bad feelings, so instead of focusing on what I don’t want and don’t like I will begin focusing on what I DO WANT and DO LIKE and take action wherever possible.
We already know the obvious, hussein is still there, he has an agenda he intends on fulfilling that stems from his father, and we have tons of spineless republicans in charge that we thought was working for us but now are sadly mistaken, and then we have kooky loony liberal left and media that has his back no matter what. So, We The People must concentrate and focus our attention onto what we now can do to take our country back. Keep your eyes on the right path no matter what you see happening all around you, stand strong, keep fighting the good fight, and BELIEVE that good WILL prevail over evil. God has OUR backs and that’s so very powerful, so much more powerful than any of those lost souls in the WH.
We may have to suffer, just like in school when 1 kid acts up the whole class gets punished, but I believe that as is everything in life sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before things can change and turn around for the positive, just like the drug addict has to hit bottom before they realize what they’re really doing to themselves. We haven’t yet hit rock bottom, but if you keep your eyes focused on things of above God promises you rest. We may be IN this world but we don’t have to be OF this world.
God helps them that helps them self, in plan language, we just do not sit on the fence and give up and wait. We can demand for our rights, this may not get the corrupt government out of the offices, but then you may never know. I just want out america back before the muslims claim everything. They are here h now loaded with acid, and we can not have our guns, l am going down fighting if l have too. l can not just wait. l need to make the first steps.
Try Walker for voter Fraud and Treason, then Hang her.
We have an ineligible president who, with the help of a Marxist billionaire (Soros), is defrauding a valiant war hero of his right to serve, as voted for by the populace of his district (West). America is no longer, and yes, there need to be Patriots who will stand up for, in the least, the vestige of her former self, a shadow of the remnant that still exists. We cannot, we must not, allow Soros/Obama to vilify men like West, defrauding the people in the process. Wake up America, your country was stolen and a coup took place while you were sleeping!! Get off your *sses and do something about it!! Letting them lead us even further into the abyss will only mean that much work to restore this flailing Republic. Get your head on straight and stand tall for once. Stand tall for your own freedom and liberty if you will not stand for your neighbors. We have let them destroy the very nation which you profess to cherish, along with all that you hold dear, your inalienable rights, the very essence of all that you are!! WAKE UP MR. & MRS. AMERICA, ROME BURNS WHILE NERO FIDDLES!!!
