I hate to break it to you, but there are 500+ socialists in Congress.
If you are stuck with a broken down car and can't replace it, focus friend. Forget the hub caps. Forget the chrome. Breaks are important. So is steering. An oil leak is livable. You can even get by with a cracked radiator. Don't just throw your hands up in the air and tell the boss you can't drive to work any more. Good grief.
Who's not a socialist? I know that Tom Tancredo is a trusted patriot.
You wrote: "I hate to break it to you, but there are 500+ socialists in Congress."
You got THAT right! As elitist Socialist/Liberals (now calling themselves "Progressives" rather than "Liberals"), The "Progressive" Caucus membership is only made up of those who are willing to admit that they hate America's form of government and are busily undermining our Constitution.
Hillary agrees with them that our Constitution stands in the way of them realizing their goals, but you won't find her or any of the others who plan to run for *the presidency* on that list.

Democratic Socialists of America's Progressive Caucus of the U.S. House of Representatives
Taken verbatim from the Internet web site of the Democratic Socialists of America:
http://www.dsausa.org/dsa.html
http://www.dsausa.org/pc/pc.caucus.html
"The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the largest socialist organization in the United States, and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International (also in Francais and Espanol). DSA's members are building progressive movements for social change while establishing an openly socialist presence in American communities and politics...
"We invite you to support the campaign by adding your name to the list of signers of the Pledge for Economic Justice. In conjunction with the Campaign DSA is working with the Congressional Progressive Caucus, a network of more than 50 progressive members of the US House of Representatives...
"The Progressive Caucus of the US House of Representatives is made up of 58 members of the House. The Caucus works to advance economic and social justice through sponsoring legislation that reflects its purpose. The Caucus also works with a coalition of organizations, called the Progressive Challenge, to bring new life to the progressive voice in US politics." [snip]
Progressive Caucus of the U.S. House of Representatives:
The Progressive Caucus of the US House of Representatives is made up of 58 members of the House. The Caucus works to advance economic and social justice through sponsoring legislation that reflects its purpose. The Caucus also works with a coalition of organizations, called the Progressive Challenge, to bring new life to the progressive voice in US politics.
Statement of Purpose
The Progressive Caucus is organized around the principles of social and economic justice, a non-discriminatory society and national priorities which represent the interests of all people, not just the wealthy and the powerful.
Our purpose is to present thoughtful, practical solutions to the economic and social problems facing America. Our people-based agenda extends from job creation to job training, to economic conversion, to single payer healthcare reform, to adequate funding for the AIDS crisis, to environmental reform, and to women's rights.
Now that the cold war is over, this nation's budget and overall priorities must reflect that reality. We support further cuts in outdated and unnecessary military spending, a more progressive tax system in which wealth taxpayers and corporations contribute their fair share, and a substantial increase in social programs designed to meet the needs of low-and-middle-income American families. We believe that these goals fit within an overall commitment to deficit reduction.
