REP. ALLEN WEST (R-FL): I believe there's about 70, 80 to 81 members of the Democratic Party that are members of the Communist Party [in the House of Representatives].
For
some reason, a certain set of people in a certain part of Florida
decided, back in 2010, that the person they most wanted to represent
them in the House of Representatives of the United States was one Allen
West. This was despite ample evidence that this fellow was, as gently as
can be put, touched in the head. His rhetoric is sketchy at best; some
of the stuff in his past is considerably worse than merely sketchy. (I
will confess that during the investigations into U.S. abuse of prisoners
during the Iraq War, the one thing that did notenter my head was, "You
know what, I really think we ought to turn one of these accused
torturers into a congressman, they seem really well suited for the job."
But I'm not a Republican.) Once ensconced in Congress, he proceeded on
his apparent quest to be known as the worst dunderhead in an institution
full of them, making headlines again and again for saying profoundly
stupid things in profoundly stupid ways, and generally demonstrating to
the rest of the nation, once again, that the people of Florida are not
really ready for democracy after all.
