He explains that the Democrats are not the only ones that are uncomfortable with Black Conservative Leaders. The Republican establishment is also resistant to change.

Love Allen West. The reporter needs to work on making eye-contact. He made none during the entire question, though he was fine during the answer. Just an observation.
He was reading the question off his teleprompter……………..
If the can't handle Herman Cain, they surely would go bezerk over Alan West as a Presidenital candidate. He is a "no spin" talker.
I applaud both Mr's Cain and West they are right on! I really liked his reference to "this is a blood sport you know and if you step up people (my opinion morons) are gonna come at you!
I LOVE Allen West ! He is the one who needs to be running for president. He has more intelligence, more Constitutional and military qualitifications to be president than obama ever dreamed of having, and more than any of the candidates running. This man is another George Washington. He is brave, takes no bull, and is for defending and protecting the rights and liberties of our United States of America and our Constitution. He would get us back on the right path, and with time, he would get the economy back, that is, if the DEMONcratics would stop blocking anything that is common sense and for the people.
He should be our choice for president in 2016, a military man and a smart guy, why not as veep until then? What a contrast between the colonel and this effeminate goof Obama, maybe we shouldn't wait till 2016, lets vote him in in 2012.
God I love Allen West! Sure do wish he would have considered running for the Presidency in 2012.
He's what this sick country really needs!
Give Allen West time. We will have him representing us for a long time if he wishes to stay in office – any office,
I too love Allen West – he represents the Cong. district I grew up in and I supported his campaign financially as much as I could afford. A beautiful man imho!
I would vote for a Cain/West ticket!
Yeah sure, the entire country would be ruled by blacks.. sorry, but NO!
The liberal left media spinners would go into convulsions if we had either a West/Keyes or a Keyes/West presidential ticket. The ROAD (Retired On Active Duty) Senators and Representatives from both parties would also have fits.
I like the fact that Allen West did not defend Cain:
If Cain was a white man or a conservative he would be out of the race, but an ultra liberal Cain can keep going, even after claiming he thinks white women are uneducated dumb waitress level bimbos who can't recognize some old black man harassing them. The harassment cases are now up to 7 now since he harassed the two women at the Conservative talk show the other day. It is very simple Cain is a raciest against white women.
Cain is an ultra liberal by his policies:
Cain is pro- homosexual, he says "don't ask don't tell" is settled for now.
Cain is pro- Muslim; he wants one in his cabinet.
Is Cain pro- Sharia law? We don't know!
Cain is pro- Fed, he doesn't want to audit them, even though they have caused 2 depression since 1914.
Cain is pro – Abortion, he believes in pro-choice for women.
Cain is however anti- States rights, with is 9-9-9 big gov. plan that over rides no sales tax states.
Only in America can a Ultra liberal progressive democrat run on the wrong ticket.
Where have u been getting yr facts from? Huffington Post!! U're a nut looking for 15 minutes of fame! Go watch some TV or something! Kangaroo? Yeh! U'd be good running one of those! Kangaroo Courts!
Thank you, Kangaroo, for pointing these beliefs out about Mr. Cain. I am unaware of them and will have to dig a little deeper into his stance.
Get a life. All the info you're getting is from biased network and media. I think you got everything backwards.
A.West will be a good choice for America>
Remo, the moon is made out of green cheese.. What else my friend are you unaware of??
Congressman Allen West Is A Very Bright Star, However The Mess That This Imposter Muslim Pres Obama Has Left, Yikeess, Save Allen For 2016, And Let Newt/Cain Clean-Up This Giant Debt That King Obama Has Spent. God Bless America And The Tea Party Patriots, ABO.
Just find out how West 'ruled' in the military; you think you have it bad now.. STOP being such DUMB followers, geeeesh
I'm still looking for CAIN/GINGRICH or GINGRICH/CAIN ticket either way it would be a good ticket.
Gingrich is a CFR member. Talks a good talk, but LOOK OUT!!!

I feel Heman Cain is innocent. All of these women accusers are Know coming out of the wood work. These women even if this is true should have never signed an agreement and took him to justice. I believe it was a money issue and if this happened to my family I would not care about the money but destroy the person who did this to my family.
