You do know he stole that quote from someone else right? Although it's appropriate for Lake Worth. Slightly modified it should read- A man must support the best political candidates regardless of their personal agendas.

While it's a nice quote, Mr. West is not the first person to say it or something very much like it.
It has been attributed to Malcolm X, Ginger Rogers, Alexander Hamilton, Rosa Parks and quite a few others.
I doubt that there are too many "original" ideas out here. How long has man been on this Planet? The fact is, he said it.
Actually, Aaron Tippin made the quote famous in a song by the same name, but it was Alexander Hamilton who is most often attributed to the quote.
"Those who stand for nothing fall for anything."
-Alexander Hamilton
..... and I thought I heard Col. West say his Dad used to "say to him".
