Grow a spine people, if she can dish it out then she needs to be able to handle the backlash that is coming. just because she is a woman does not make her immune to getting what she deserved.
If she cannot handle the heat she need get the hell out of the kitchen...

If you were worried that Allen West might rein in the crazy now that he’s a congressman, fear not!
The Tea Party-propelled Florida freshman, who most recently made news by declaring that Obama supporters are a "a threat to the gene pool," was not amused in the least when neighboring district Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz dared to disagree with his stance on the proposed "Cut, Cap, and Balance" bill.
Wasserman Schultz told House members, "Incredulously, the gentleman from Florida, who represents thousands of Medicare beneficiaries, as do I, is supportive of a plan that would increase costs for Medicare beneficiaries ... unbelievable from a member from South Florida.”
West immediately set to penning the following venomous e-mail screed to Wasserman Schultz, sending it to her personal e-mail and copying House leaders, with the unintentionally hilarious subject line "Unprofessional and Inappropriate Sophomoric Behavior."
Not surprisingly, a ton of people went bananas and started demanding apologies on behalf of Wasserman Schultz, who told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday that she was neither surprised nor phased by the attack.
West initially refused to back down, telling Fox News, "I think it's important to stake my ground. It was about enough is enough, and it's my right to say that. She is the one elevating this."
But by Wednesday afternoon rumors swirled that West had apologized to Wasserman Schultz, a claim Wasserman Schultz herself denied on CNN’s "The Situation Room" with Wolf Blitzer.
“That is absolutely untrue," she said. "I have not received an apology. I haven’t received a phone call. I know he has my email. I haven’t gotten an apology on my email, nor on my fax machine in my district office, nor my congressional office in the capitol, nor at the Democratic National Committee.”
And just in case anyone forgot for a moment that politics is awful, both the Democratic Party and Rep. West used the brouhaha to solicit donations.

From: Z112 West, Allen
Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2011 04:48 PM
To: Wasserman Schultz, Debbie
Cc: McCarthy, Kevin; Blyth, Jonathan; Pelosi, Nancy; Cantor, Eric
Subject: Unprofessional and Inappropriate Sophomoric Behavior from Wasserman-Schultz
Look, Debbie, I understand that after I departed the House floor you directed your floor speech comments directly towards me. Let me make myself perfectly clear, you want a personal fight, I am happy to oblige. You are the most vile, unprofessional, and despicable member of the US House of Representatives. If you have something to say to me, stop being a coward and say it to my face, otherwise, shut the heck up. Focus on your own congressional district!
I am bringing your actions today to our Majority Leader and Majority Whip and from this time forward, understand that I shall defend myself forthright against your heinous characterless behavior……which dates back to the disgusting protest you ordered at my campaign hqs, October 2010 in Deerfield Beach.
You have proven repeatedly that you are not a Lady, therefore, shall not be afforded due respect from me!
Steadfast and Loyal
Congressman Allen B West (R-FL)
Not surprisingly, a ton of people went bananas and started demanding apologies on behalf of Wasserman Schultz, who told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday that she was neither surprised nor phased by the attack.
"It isn’t surprising that he would react to the probably untold pressure that he’s getting from his constituents, whom he and I both represent, as I pointed out in debate on the House floor; represent thousands of senior citizens who, under this "Cut, Cap, and Balance" - really duck-dive and dismantle plan - that the Republicans are proposing, would face huge increases in their Medicare costs. It would end Medicare as we know it …
"If he can’t handle that pressure, can’t handle being called out in debate on the House floor, then he probably should change his position …
"I think Congressman West really needs to understand that when we’re debating on the House floor, that’s what we do. We engage in back-and-forth. And if he can’t handle that – particularly on an issue as important to our constituents as Medicare - then he probably needs to reconsider his really ill-advised position on Medicare.”
West initially refused to back down, telling Fox News, "I think it's important to stake my ground. It was about enough is enough, and it's my right to say that. She is the one elevating this."
But by Wednesday afternoon rumors swirled that West had apologized to Wasserman Schultz, a claim Wasserman Schultz herself denied on CNN’s "The Situation Room" with Wolf Blitzer.

-fear tactics (luv the show) using a Liberal angle ..women's rights or whatever....has met it's match.
*Can't stand the heat in the kitchen...I'll cook dinner...you suck anyways.
"Venomous e-mail" Give me a freaking break! I've heard worse is Sunday school! Only a liberal would say that!!!
West will not go any further politically than he has. No one but a bunch of mean-spirited malcontents with conspiracy issues wants a mean-spirited bully with ego issues anywhere near someplace as powerful as the White House. If West can't handle something as common place as debate and disagreement on the House floor without popping his cork, he'd be better off running a totalitarian regime someplace else.
You mean like Obama popping his cork when he doesn't get his way. An speaking of "egos"
Hey, we've got real proof of West's fragile ego IN HIS OWN WORDS in an email. The guy has proven he can't take take the heat. We don't want a big baby like him blowing up the kitchen!
He "stormed" out of meetings with the "majority" leader all this last weekend! Anytime he didn't get his way.
BTW Barry has meet his match with Boehner. He won't just roll over for Barry. Boehner is doing the will of the people he represents. Not like Pelosi who just slobbered all over herself every time she was around her/your "dear leader" and who just couldn't wait to pop up and clap for her man.... Even when he says nothing!
West has been in situations in his military career that would scare Barry to death! West has more gonads than Barry could ever hope to have. And on top of all that West will work for the people and not for a progressive agenda like Barry. Barry is more interested in getting reelect than helping America and her people..
Remember,
When Barry has the RIGHT to wear even one of Wests decorations come back and we will talk about it some more......

Typical right wing BS that Obama "stormed" out of anything. No Drama Obama doesn't "storm". You're so full of $hit your eyes are brown. Just like Sean Hannity's.
And Boehner is pathetic, Obama is light years ahead of him. The Tea Party has Boehner by the short hairs so much he can barely function. No wonder Boehner cries, anyone would in his situation! He desperately wants a deal with Obama, and like the budget that came before, Boehner will have to disappoint the Tea Party in order to govern. He's just waiting until the last possible minute to do it, just like he did with the budget. Boehner knows the debt ceiling has to be raised, and it will be. I'd feel sorry for Boehner if he weren't such a douche bag.
May as well give West a BJ now while you're on your knees worshipping him. Neither you nor he will ever see the inside of the White House.
Speaking of proof, truth or facts you offer none. Just liberal rhetoric. Same words, phrases and hate.... I would feel sorry for you but alas you ain't worth it. You poor little thing you.
And speaking of BJs, how was your beloved Obama? And remember you started it....
Better get that BJ in now. If you plan to wait until West is in the Oval Office, ala Clinton, ain't gonna happen.
I never said I would vote for him. I do believe he is a better man than Barry ever was or will be. Would he make a good president? I don't know. Damned near anyone would be better than Barry Hussein Obama... Even Pat Paulson.....
Pull your head out and smell what you are shoveling. It ain't roses!!

Obama has the Nobel for being black. Well, half black. Real brave, I must say! In my book that makes him a much better man than a "community organizer" for a corrupt organization like ACORN!
The military was the first to desegregate. And you will get your ass busted real quick for any show of racism. They have zero tolerance for it.
Lets be correct, Obama was awarded the Nobel for being the first HALF black president of the United States. I'm still waiting for the first full blood native to take our rightful place as head state. You're all a bunch of illegal aliens and share croppers to me!
Obama gets slap in the face yet again in the NY special election where for the first time in 90 years a Republican took Wieners seat. Barry should be getting the message about now that the American people don't want anything to do with his socialist programs, or any other program he has tried to force upon America.
Impeach Obama, "and do it now"!
No, it's because he's a racist! And I'm 100% Native American, Comanche and Cherokee so your black man BS wont cut it with me. Besides, Barry is half white!
