Not 70% friend...70 members total from the 111th about 13% if I still figure math correctly (you never know with all the new math methods :) )

As far as I’m cconcerned, anyone who voted for Pelosi, or Reid, as leadership in this Congress is a problem. Whch means ALL Democrats!
Nice to see that every single judicial release from that committee has the approval of the communists.
The Dems control 235 seats in the house, so it’s 30% of them.
And your point is? Overall there are 13% from congress total (both houses) that are avowed socialists. There are 535 members of Congress.
These people are traitors to this country, PERIOD!
They should ALL be there.
They need to be honest about where they stand.
:)
Have a great day!
Enjoying the pings too.
But weren’t all those Americans who said Obama is a socialist right wing crazies? Misled fools, says Carville and thr MSM.
Turns out a third of the party are card- carrying members! Out in the open. The rest are closet Socialists.
Who would ever vote for someone intent on destroying our nation??
You got that right!
The ones that are actually documented should be brought up on charges for treason.
(I’m glad you are enjoying the pings :) )
Their list is outdated. Neil Abercrombie resigned Feb. 28th and his seat was captured by non-socialist republican Djou.
Socialist List Is Just Progressive Caucus
They are trying to get by the stigma of Socialist by using the term Progressive. Anyone wanting to cure what ails American politics would do well to concentrate on the Progressive caucus. That is rot central.
One of them’s running for Governor of Hawaii (Abercrombie). And yet the only newspaper in Hawaii, which is controlled by the Democrat Party, refuses to run any information about his long Socialist background. They go so far as turning off the comment feature for any story in which he’s mentioned, so none of the readers can post the truth about him.
To be fair, he’s probably said he will sue or shut down any media that dares speak the truth about him.
