From NRO’s Battle 10:
Allen West is under no illusion as to the fragile nature of the GOP’s coming House majority.
“The thing that you don’t want to see happen is that the Republican Party gets thrown on the ash heap as well, in 2012. Not a lot of patience out there right now,” West told Battle ‘10. “As I tell people, if the pendulum swings back to the other side — same old players, same old actors — that’s going to cause people to say, ‘here we go again.’”…
West goes on to note that the vote on November 2nd provides a chance for the GOP – a chance, that is, for us to really show we’re on the side of the people. If we blow it, then we might be done for as a party – and that is for good (Democrats will cling to their party for a while out of their slavish devotion to their leaders, of course).
While the Democrats seem set to re-install the exact, same leadership which lead them off a cliff, the new GOP must put some new faces up there. Allen West is the logical choice to be one of the new spokesmen of the GOP – not just because he’s telegenic and a phenomenal speaker, but because he understands just what has happened…understands, fundamentally, the dynamic which elevated him to office.
If we do the right thing, we’ll obtain a generation of power and be able to reform our nation – to rescue our nation from liberalism. I hope to goodness they are listening in DC – West clearly is; we’ll see how the rest do.
