“Voters in next year’s elections will be offered two distinct visions for the future of our country: strength or weakness, resolve or indecision, security or vulnerability,” West said in a statement. “America is at a crossroads, and I intend to be a voice in Congress that stands up for preserving our nation’s strength, safety, and future.”

Barack Obama he ain’t!

“Dr. Freud to the West, er, white courtesy phone, paging Dr. Sigmund Freud…”

And I have to say the GOP diversity efforts have been very successful – dey are certainly de verse party in history.

What are they afraid of?

They have that Walter Williams guy and Shelby Steele. Don’t forget about Juan williams. He can’t stand that Barack Obama. They have plenty of Negroes to talk about black people the way white conservatives like to hear it.

You want them to take over the whole Republican Party or something?

…the Army fined West in 2003 and relieved him of his command for attempting to intimidate an Iraqi detainee by firing a pistol near his head.

Relieved of his command because he was unfit for leadership, eh. He’s perfect for the GOP.

Just a few years after the Republican Party launched a highly publicized diversity effort,

which has to characterized, in my opinion, as a stunningly successful effort.
You don’t get much more diverse than Larry Craig, Mark Foley, that barebacking crossdresser in Washinton State, and the ever-famous Alabama scuba diver.
