Allen West

I've been married for 22 years. That's the only person I want.

I don't look to a man to get pride in myself. It's not about having a black president, it's about having a good president, and I think that's the most important thing.

I think that there is a changing wind. There are black conservatives out there, and their voices need to be heard.

Where is love exchanged? Where is the love felt when a state administrator stuffs a welfare check into an outgoing mail?

I taught high school for one year in Deerfield Beach, Fla., and in the end, it was such an enjoyable experience breaking up fights daily, that I decided to return to the combat zone of Afghanistan.

The republic I fell in love with, the republic I risked my life to defend, the values I hold dear, the integrity that we all share - these do not know prejudice and they do not accept partiality.

I'm a conservative because I believe we're here on this earth to do a little more than crawl through life, comfortable in the cradle of government excess and oblivious to the duties required to keep this republic standing.

There's nothing on this green earth that a liberal progressive fears more than a black American who wants a better life and a smaller government.

Our purpose is to be up here to resolve these issues. Our purpose is to be up here and represent the people.

I'll give you a great example of an issue that no one brought up during this Florida primary, the fact that we're going to have a Chinese made oil rig put in place about 60 miles off the coast of Florida.

I support transitioning from the progressive tax to a flat tax system - both individual and corporate/business.

Nowadays, many Americans have forgotten the meaning and traditions of Memorial Day. At cemeteries across the country, the graves of the fallen are sadly ignored, and worse, neglected.
