SPEECH BY CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE LT. COL. ALLEN WEST GOES VIRAL

WOW! I was listening to Laura Ingraham on the radio yesterday, and was inspired by the congressional candidate she was interviewing. Lieutenant Colonel Allen West (US Army, Retired), is running for the U. S. Congress in Florida's 22nd District.

The following video of a six minute speech given by Lt. Colonel Allen West is powerful, bold, and moving. Lt. Colonel West is just the type of Republican our country needs, someone who is passionate, articulate, and principled in the cause of restoring America to it's constitutional roots.

After watching the video, you'll understand why it's gone viral, having been viewed over 1.2 million times (and counting)!

"My favorite issue statement, taken from his viewpoint on the economy is (my bold added):

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."
