So said Karl Marx, who must have had Allen “The Craziest Mother F%$#er in Congress” West in mind:<\/p>\n
Voice Inside Allen West\u2019s Head Told Him That 80 House Democrats Belong to the Communist Party [Updated]<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/a> <\/p>\n
One of the most ridiculous names \u2014 and there will be a lot of them \u2014 in the ongoing GOP veepstakes is Florida congressman, tea partier, and crazy person Allen West. Herman Cain<\/a>, Sarah Palin<\/a>, and fellow veepstakes participant Nikki Haley<\/a> have all endorsed West as Romney’s running mate recently. We suspect, though, that none of them sincerely believe West is a viable option, and are simply currying favor with the tea-party wing of the GOP by flattering one of its champions. Because West is, actually, the exact<\/i> type of person you don’t want as a running mate: A wildly outspoken, unpredictable loose cannon. His appearance at a town hall last night is just the latest example<\/a>:<\/p>\n
The conservative tea party icon also got in shots at Democrats and President Obama, who spoke Tuesday at Florida Atlantic University. West said Obama was “scared” to have a discussion with him. He later said “he’s heard” up to 80 U.S. House Democrats are Communist Party members, but wouldn’t name names.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
