Quote of the Day - Allen West on Liberal Media distorting his statements

Comment Up
“Liberal media reports saying I am equating Social Security of hardworking Americans to a form of slavery is absolutely false,” the Florida Republican said in a Facebook post Monday. “It seems that there is absolutely no level the attack machine will sink to deliberately distort my comments.”

I wrote Col. Allen West and here is the response from his campaign manager:

Congressman West was talking about the fact that since Obama has been President, more people have gone on Social Security Disability Insurance than jobs created.  His point was that all of these different entitlement programs are making people dependent on the government and politicians like that because it increases their power.   He was not referencing Social Security benefits that seniors are entitled to.

Congressman West will protect Social Security and Medicare for our seniors and those at or near retirement, and for future generations.

Thanks for your interest.

That's great Lynn, but he will not protect disabled people going on DISABILITY SOCIAL SECURITY WHICH HAS TO BE DOCUMENTED BY A DOCTOR. AND PROVES YOU HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF INCOME.
