The Socialist Party of America announced in their October 2009 newsletter that 70 Congressional democrats currently belong to their caucus. This admission was recently posted on Scribd.com:

Hank Johnson is in the Socialists caucus? It’s going to tip over!!!!

They list Robert Wexler, but I believe that he is no longer in Congress.

Maybe you would like to go to your link and click on the link “announced”. Very enlightening.

Now I am confused... if this is bogus, Mod please delete.

Interesting! Why did they release it now? This info used to be on their website but they scrubbed it when the Jim Quinns and Bob Grants of the world started reading it on the air a decade or so ago.

I know the answer to this, but the left needs to answer this as well-

if you believe in socialism, and believe it is truly the best way to run a government, society, and economy,

why don’t you PROUDLY come out and defend it?

Why do you DENY that you support socialism?

Well!! I see Oregon’s favorite son, Peter DeFazio is on that list...

Oregon *ping*!!

I see Keith Ellison the MUSLIM is on the list. So, what are you Keith, a Muslim or a Communist? They two are not the same. My guess: a pure-bred, dyed-in-the-wool racist, race-baiting, screaming, freedom-hating, America-hating, honkey-hating, decency-hating, Christ-hating Cow-bell Ringing, Clueless, Cranky, Cuckoo-bird, Carnival-Barking,Coward Cloward-Piven Worshipping, Alinksy-Stinky, Godless, Retarded Communist.

Well that’s very kind of them. They’ve identified 70 House members so far left that we should be happy even to replace them with RINOs.

Very interesting, but also not surprising. The likes of Maxine Waters and Jim (Bagdad-Jim) McDermott have for years been poster boys for Anti-business, anti-military, anti-mainstream US policies.

It will be interesting to see how many of the House members survive the November elections. With the election results of the primary last night, Jim McDermott won another term in congress.

And are republicans SCREAMING this disgrace to the American public at the very top of their lungs? Why of COURSE not! It wouldn’t be bipartisan, after all!!!

I assume that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are closeted members, Tom Harkin was kicked out for being a Trotskyite, Al Franken forgot to renew his membership and Dennis Kucinich is their ambassador to Pluto.
