Great reach-out. This is an
excellent model of strategic activism. Thanks for your good work for Sherry Jackson too.
Right. We're gonna' have to clean it up a little if we're going
invite candidates here to review a thread about them.

Foreign Policy
My biggest test is foreign policy. This cat is a neocon and an Israeli pawn. How do we keep getting fooled by these Obomba Lite's?
Here's my email to Col. West
Dear Colonel West,
My name is [Daddy WarBucks] and I'm from Pittsburgh, PA.
I recently became aware of your campaign for U.S. Congress for District 22.
I also saw a video of your October speech at the Revolution Club. You inspired me.
I was motivated to find out more about your position on issues so I went to your website.
While I found most of your positions to be in line with a true patriot, I was disappointed to see the extent of your 'pro-war' language. Not to be confused with a strong national defense.
Since you were so deeply involved in combat at the officer level, I would assume that sometime during your 22 years of service, you may have recognized the hipocracy of the leader of the free world imposing itself on so many other countries. I also assume that a man of your intelligence and independent thinking would recognize that American wars are mostly about profit for the military industrial complex. It's a legitimate way to rob a country blind from the inside, in the name of freedom and patriotism.
But I'm not writing to bust your balls.
I'm writing to see if there is a possibilty that you might come to realize that left right politics is dying fast. And that while you may have to run as a Republican you might realize that the party is riddled with corruption, just as badly as the Democrat party.
Why would I matter to you?
As you may have noticed Congressional races are becoming a thing of nationwide interest. Americans are waking up and realize that in order to clean house in D.C. they have to organize nationally to root out corrupt representatives and work nationally across state lines to support new representatives who will obey the Constitution.
That's why I'm attempting to connect with you. 2010 is going to be an election year like 1776.
There is a growing number of true patriots who are going to throw off the shackles of big, unresponsive, criminal government.
I have included a thread about your candidacy on the Daily Paul where hundreds of patriotic initiatives have been birthed over the last 2 years.
The comments in the thread speak for themslves.

It is my hope that you will see the direction you will have to take to back-up your own words that you spoke so powerfully in your speech at the Revolution Club.
Good luck.

Not yet. That's part of the 'interview' process for a candidate
Does he manage his communications to serve the people or serve himself?

Logical Inconsistency
This man has the same problem as the tea party movement and the neocons in general. He cannot see that imposing the iron heel on the rest of the world is inconsistent with liberty at home. The two cannot continue to co-exist.
read his issues
he sounds sort of necocom

When there's guys like Kokesh to support....
Why would you or I support this guy? - or any neo-conish candidate for that matter...ever?
Neo-Cons and their pro-war allies never look good.
"What we need on Capitol Hill are Congressmen, Representatives, who understand this enemy and how to defeat it."
Really?
How about Representatives who will bring our troops home.......
I don't get your excitement over this guy Daddy Warbucks.

Neocon
I agree, great speaker but.... still a McCain lovin Neocon. I still think it's possible for him to see the light on foreign policy though.
He ran for congress in 2008,
He ran for congress in 2008, he's not going to change. He's part of the establishment picking up on the current mood, saying the right things, blah, blah, blah, we are so screwed.
It's a shame he's a extremist zionist
Read his website. He's virulently anti-muslim.
I understand Daddy WarBucks' argument to give him some "time" to come around, but this isn't some kid who's just starting to pay attention to foreign affairs. This is a middle aged man who served 2+ decades as an officer in the military, and another few years as a private consultant in Afghanistan. I don't see him changing his views on middle east policy any time soon.
While some of his expressed views against nation building and occupation are promising, I cannot support this man because of his views expressed on the Middle East. He is a clear interventionist who wishes to take sides in that struggle. For me, that's a deal breaker.

Please watch the video on his site.....
where he talks about Iran. He siad we should have had "vision" and backed the Shaw and there would not have been an Islamic revolution...hmmm..... I am surprised a man that seems to understand history doesn't factor in how the Shaw was placed in power to begin with. Further more...how exactly were we to back the Shaw, commit ground troops in Iran?
No...not sold on this guy (even though I am a Army veteran and certainly have respect for his service.) This above speech sounds good, but I would worry about this man's ideas of foriegn policy. I also would worry about his seeming "Israel first" mentality. We need to break away from the neo-cons.
Go to his web site and check it out...
Dudes, the week of 9/11 I had a baseball bat in my car

I didn't get it until January 2007.

I believe guys like this are salvageable.
That's what we're here for to educate.

I sent him an education email
I read his site after getting his video via email, and then I sent him a email that in order to properly understand what is happening in the world, that he needs to first understand monetary policy.
I directed him to watch "Money as Debt". I figure once he sees that, his hard core Zionist attitude might get adjusted if he does any further research. I figure, follow the money first.

i agree people can be educated, and we should definitely try and educate this man. But i dont think we should be donating or voting for him until he changes his opinion on foriegn policy. just my 2 cents.
...
i dont know why this guy keeps coming up here... he's a neocon, look at his foriegn policy stance on his website, he's a warmonger. good speaker, but a neocon none the less.
You know whoelse is a good
You know whoelse is a good speaker? Barack Obama. Listen to some snippetes of his speeches and he sound like a small govt, pro liberty politician. Srry to the OP, every neocon can say what that man said and we have rejected everyone of them and this guy is no exception(just bcos hes black).
I wonder what he does now? cos all his talk about pulling himself off poverty is irrelevant if his still in govt service be it army, state or federal govt work
I usually look first at a candidate's Defense issues page
This is how we separate the wheat from the chaff.
West's reveals that he is an interventionist at heart. Here is the most revealing statement:
Mobile-Friendly U.S. Constitution
He's been NeoConned! He's been a tool of the WarMachine

Economy
Finally, our Congress must reassess our foreign aid spending; sending $900 Million of our taxpayer dollars to Hamas is not a wise expenditure. I find it reprehensible to say the least. The federal government must operate within the mandates of the US Constitution and stop its overreach into areas in which they are not legally authorized.

Economy
Our federal government created this crisis by first developing an entitlement mentality in our housing market, sub-prime mortgages. The Congress then exacerbated the issue with a lack of oversight that is criminal in nature. They now perpetuate the problem with inept foolish plans called “stimulus”, all the while continuing the wasteful system of earmarks, “pork barrel” spending.
To stimulate our economy we must realize that Keynesian tax and spend economic theory does not work. The public sector shall never grow the economy, that comes from the private sector. When I hear our new President speak of building an economy from the bottom up, well, you just have to cringe.

I do not support any creation of a Palestinian state, to do so would be to create a terrorist state.
I do not support any division of Jerusalem.
The rest of his Israel issues.
http://allenwestforcongress.com/issues/
He has 9 issues and one of them is Israel? Why is that one of an American politicians issues?
I'm guessing he has Israel
I'm guessing he has Israel as an issue because there is a large population of Jews in his Florida district. just a guess. Anyways, he also has disaster insurance as one of his issues. That's understandable but Israel is definitely a little odd.

"No longer can we allow this
"No longer can we allow this enemy to infiltrate our financial, religious, cultural, educational, and political systems in America using our own Constitution to destroy us."
So now the constitution's the problem?
Its too bad, he sounds like he is on top of most issues but not the most important one.
