Sore Loser Allen West: My Opponent Only Won Because He Cheated - link to audio
Think Progress
In an exit befitting his outspoken, controversial two years in Congress, Rep. Allen West (R-FL) said that he only lost his re-election because his opponent cheated.
-snip- However, the Tea Party congressman appears to be handling the loss acrimoniously. Appearing on Mark Levin’s radio show last Thursday, West accused Murphy of only winning by breaking the rules. “I’m not going away just because of a congressional race where he seems to have to cheat to beat me,” said West. He did not specify precisely how Murphy supposedly cheated. LEVIN: You are a national treasure. You are way too important to have something like this to happen and off you go. That can’t happen. So I’m really curious to know. Do you have further public service in mind, potentially?. Audio via Think Progress IIRC, it was the GOP in Fl who sliced and diced West into a different district, and it was West himself who decided to run in the 18th; is there 'cheating' here? Sorry about posting the link to Levin, DU. And West as a national treasure? Gag worthy. Words are cheap, Mr. West. Put up or go away.

4. He's NOT going to go away, instead choosing to begin his chant of "cheat".
|
His ass needs to be called on it every appearance he makes... of course I realize he won't be appearing anywhere anyone is interested in truth. He's despicable.

3. In other words, Allen West SUPPORTS cheating...
|
...since he chose to concede the race and filed no complaint with State or Federal authorities.

5. I like the way your mind works.
|
Mr. West, why do you support cheating?
Watch as he turns his cheating accusation into a meme for 2014. |

6. The truth is West lost
|
because he is a jerk, and if he didn't run in a low turnout midterm he would've never been elected to begin with. |
