Allen West: I'm Like Lincoln

"Look, you know, God closes a door so that he can open up greater doors. I will continue to, you know, stand up and fight for this country. That’s my goal. I have two daughters, 19 and 16, and I want to make sure that they grow up in a great America that provides them all the opportunities that it provided to their mother and father. And always remember, Abraham Lincoln only served one term in Congress, too." - About to be former Rep. Allen West, speaking to NPR.
