Teabaggers threaten to teabag teabagger hero
Teabaggers are so fickle:
One-time Tea Party hero Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) will meet with a local Florida Tea Party group today to discuss why he voted to increase the debt ceiling earlier this month, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
West, who rode Tea Party support to a 10-point win over then-Rep. Ron Klein (D-Fla.) in 2010, angered many local conservatives when he agreed to support House Speaker John Boehner's (R-Ohio) plan to increase the debt limit.
After some local Tea Party supporters threatened to find a primary challenger to West because of his vote, the always-forceful West hit back, accusing them of "schizophrenia" for their quick changes of heart towards him.
Seems like it was only yesterday that Allen West was a hero to the teabaggers. One lousy vote, and he's the enemy? Just like Sen. Scott Centerfold Brown. Just like any formerly beloved nutjob who has the audacity to put country before crazy, even if only for one split second.
Too bad for Allen West. I guess he's learning that while he may be "Steadfast and Loyal," the crazy people who swept him into office are anything but.
