Rep. Allen Wests (R-Fla.) campaign blasted Democrat Patrick Murphy for attending freshman orientation at the Capitol this week.
Murphy declared victory over West in Florida's 18th district last weekend and is participating in workshops for new members of Congress.
I think it is premature of him, Tim Edson, Wests campaign manager, said on a conference call Wednesday. I understand he would like to move on and wrap this up, but for someone who claims to be certified public accountant, you would expect him to be a little more concerned about the shifting numbers and the inaccuracies of these numbers.
West too was in Washington, for the lame-duck session of Congress, while Murphy attended programs designed to help newly elected lawmakers navigate Capitol Hill.

What a loser, in every sense of the word.
The bigger question for me is will he ever concede? I'm serious. Even if they do a full recount and Murphy still comes out on top, what are the chances that Brave Sir Allen never admits defeat?

(1 post)He lost! Maybe if he got rid of that 1980 Kid & Play hair do, the message could get through. He really needs to go and stop this shenanigan. St. Lucie went solidly into Obama's camp, stands to reason Murphy won there as well. BTW, it was the pubs that redistricted him into that county, I think they are as tired of his mania as we are.

(43,182 posts)District 22 is his seat. He'll be replaced by Lois Frankel, a Democrat, in January in that seat.
District 18 was the district Brave Sir Allen ran away to because he thought he was too vulnerable to losing District 22, and District 18 was supposedly more Republican friendly.
Clearly that worked.

(81,264 posts)That little weasel/fucker norm coleman refused to concede and dragged it out for MONTHS. The people of Minnesota had to make do with one Senator because this asshole wouldn't grow up and move on. Would his side have expected anything less from ours, if the results had been reversed? I think Patrick Murphy's doing the precisely correct thing, attending the workshops and other openers for new members, because he's got a district to serve now. Go ahead and step up, Congressman-Elect Murphy! You won. The vote-count proves it. Ignore that pissant. Don't let this Sore Loserman hold you back from serving the MAJORITY of people who sent you to Washington on their behalf. That self-flattering jerk is little more than a Prince of Poor Sportsmanship, as well as a colossal public embarrassment to his district. They're so much better off getting rid of him!
Oh yeah - and one more thing: I think we ought to encourage that meme. Start calling THEM "Sore Losermen." Let's return the favor. Taste of their own medicine. See how they like it. Besides, it labels them as EXACTLY what they are.
I'm loving this stuff I keep hearing and reading about "no more Mr. Nice Guy"! LOVING it!!! Let's stand for something and put some teeth in it.

(43,182 posts)....within 24 hours of the Supreme Court making its final ruling, Al Gore conceded and talked of bringing the nation together. Unfortunately, it was pretty much a procedural dead end to continue and Vice President Gore wasn't going to make himself look like a fool tilting at windmills.
I don't ever expect Brave Sir Allen to be that magnanimous.

(43,182 posts)Apparently, he stayed holed up in a hotel room all night while dozens of supporters waited downstairs in a ballroom waiting for him to speak. His surrogates were left having to made excuses for him not showing his face.
He says this isn't about him, it's about the voters. Bull to the Shit. He thinks the voters who voted for Patrick Murphy are "a threat to the gene pool" and "disgusting" and "vile." And the voters who voted for him weren't important enough for him to grace with his presence.

(43,182 posts)Although his total freak out over very mild criticism from Rep. Wasserman-Schultz was quite telling who he is. He's a classic Narcissitic Personality Disorder case.
