But they're socialists, make no mistake about it.

Oh, I have no doubts, looking at the list. But it's foolish to make a claim that X is a member of Y if both X and Y can shoot you down by simply denying it. I suspect these critters are way too careful to call themselves socialists (except for Bernie Sanders, and they'll elect anything in Vermont as long as it's queer, er, I mean odd. ) 'Progressive' doesn't have the same connotations, even though it means the same thing.

Another thing these critters are way too clever to call themselves is Progressives. If you look on the Congressional Websites of these 58, only a small handful even note that they're members of the Progressive Caucus. Some list every Caucus they've ever been a member of yet somehow fail to mention Progressive Caucus Membership. A few are pretty brazen about it. Jesse Jackson Jr lists membership and also has a link to Dem Soc of America on his website.

Sen Paul Wellstone is also a member of the Caucus or affiliated with them somehow or another.

Now living in VT and you've got that right. But I looked at the list from the link in post #15 and found my true home state of CO is just choked with these socialists/communists. Scarey, YES! And absolutely disgusting.
