Upwards of 80 House Members are Communists

That was irresponsible of Alan West. Progressive Caucus does not equal Communist Party.

Many are socialists though. In 2009 there were 70 members of Congress who were also members of Democratic Socialist of America.

List of Socialists

And to no one's surprise, one member is Sheila Jackson-Lee

80? Interesting. Before he names names, he needs to wait post election - where he will have more "flexibility."
 
When you view the world through the lenses of a radical right wing nutball, anybody left of McCain or Leiberman is pretty much just a shade to right of Mao and Lenin. Sorry to use a pejorative of "radical right wing nutball" but it's certainly more justified than the term "Communist" as he's using it.
 
You can probably count Jesse Jackson Jr. as one.The Link

But Satch probably doesn't have a problem with him, seeing as there's a (D) following his name. Just black men in power that are associated with (R), those really ruffle his panties.

On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being capitalist and 10 being communist), where would you put most of today's Democrat Party members?
_________________________________________________________________________________

If you mean by capitalist people who think that private enterprise should control most means of production in the country, people should be free to live where they want, do the kind of job they want to do, own property?

I'm guessing it would be 1 to 1.1. If you have a more radical view of capitalism, say the state should not intervene to help those unable to earn because of age, disability or mental problems - I'd say it's about a 4.

I never interviewed a politician with any serious chance of getting elected in America who was even socilialst, much less communist to the point that they thought the state should control everything. And I spent a lot of time with them 1980-1990 when that was a big part of my job. But again, if you thnk this blowhard who says we have 80 communists in Congress is anything but a right wing nutjob I'm sure it would affect how you view people of more liberal persuasion. Hell you'd probably see Romney, one of America's most expert capitalists, at about a 3-4 on that scale. I'd very honestly give Romney a Perfect 1.
 
A majority of the members of the US commie party are FBI agents and that has been the case for decades. You can tell the real commies from the FBI guys in two ways: the commies never advocate violence and the commies always try to make a profit on their magazine and book sales.

any list that includes Sheila Jackson-Lee is one others should be embarrassed to be on. I understand the pushback from some of those on the list. That ***** is straight-up so dumb, she makes Perry sound like a Rhodes Scholar.
