Texas GOP Vote

Fellow TexasGOPVote blogger Tom Donelson recently wrote about some of the CPAC 2013 speakers who stand out as possible 2016 Presidential contenders, listing Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal and Rand Paul.

I respectfully add to that list Ted Cruz, Allen West, Governors Scott Walker and Jeb Bush, and a long shot but very popular person, Dr. Ben Carson of Prayer Breakfast fame.

CPAC also featured Texas Governor Rick Perry, whose presence seemed to signal interest in running for President, although he has frequently told audiences

Before Black History month in America ends, and in light of the fact that so much of the 2013 celebration honors left-wing African-Americans, this short series of articles offers praise for some truly brave Americans---black Republican and conservative leaders.

The following is a statement from Congressman Allen West regarding his Florida CD-18 race:

For two weeks since Election Day, we have been working to ensure every vote is counted accurately and fairly. We have made progress towards that goal, thanks to the dedication of our supporters and their unrelenting efforts to protect the integrity of the democratic process. While many questions remain unanswered, today I am announcing that I will take no further action to contest the outcome of this election.

While there are certainly still inaccuracies in the results and the actions of the St. Lucie County and Palm Beach County Supervisors of Elections rightly raise questions in my mind and for many voters, after much analysis and yesterday’s recount in St. Lucie County, our legal team does not believe there are enough over-counted, undercounted or fraudulent votes to change the outcome of the election.   Read more »

The following came in from Allen West for U.S. Congress Campaign Manager Tim Edson:

With every passing day, the math coming out of St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker’s office becomes more and more fuzzy.

On Sunday the St. Lucie Supervisor of Elections conducted a partial recount of early voting. As a result of that count, the total number of votes dropped by 799. Then on Monday the Supervisor of Elections explained the drop by saying 3,650 votes were double counted

The following came in from Allen West for U.S. Congress Campaign Manager Tim Edson:

There has been a lot of misinformation out there about the state of the race, and not surprisingly the local press is dutifully parroting the talking points coming out of Patrick Murphy’s campaign proclaiming the race decided, so here’s the truth: this race remains far from decided.   Read more »

Florida U.S. Congressman Allen West, a strong Tea Party supported conservative Republican has fought some hard battles in his life, as a U.S. Army officer in combat zones including in Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and later in Afghanistan. His awards for brave, valorous and meritorious service are too many to mention. Congressman West’s bravery extends beyond the battlefield: as an African-American Republican he stands strong for conservative principles in the face of relentless attacks by Democrats and liberal organizations and officials.

West’s current battle is to demand a fair and accurate count of the votes in his bid for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives representing Florida’s District 18.   Read more »

NRCC - As a swing state in presidential elections, Florida is perpetually in the spotlight for both parties, and this year is no exception. Reapportionment following the 2010 census added two seats to Florida’s House delegation. Through the legislative redistricting process Republicans successfully strengthened a number of GOP held competitive seats and created new seats likely to elect Republicans this November. Democrats will have to answer to a large senior population in Florida that is livid about Democrats’ $716 billion in cuts to Medicare to fund a government takeover of healthcare outside of Medicare. Having President Obama on the top of the ticket will serve as a toxin that may condemn many Democrat challengers to failure in

During Black History Month, Obama released a new video announcing the launch of AFRICAN AMERICANS FOR OBAMA. (See video below.)

This is an attempt to segregate voters based on RACE instead of voters joining together in groups based on VALUES. Minorities actually tend to be conservative in their beliefs and they are waking up to the realization that Obama
