Quote: Before commenting on the link,   I want to again mention that I should have used the word socialist instead of communist.   While I'm not discounting what Lt. Col. Allen West said,  I don't know enough to say whether these Congress representatives ( in some cases former representatives )  are communists or not.    Having said that,  the policies that so many of the individuals on the list I provided support are from my perspective as bad or in some cases even worse than what's considered Communist policies.    I want them out of office like much of the left worked to get Allen West,  Joe Walsh,  and Michele Bachmann out of office.  

 

 The website from the article existed back in 2009 and 2010.   I found it on the Wayback Machine:

Again, I'm looking at the links you provided, and I find no list of "socialists" in Congress.   On the original link you provided, an unnamed person lists some liberals in congress and calls them socialists.   But what we were talking about was the claim that there are 80 communists in congress.    What Allan West said was that  there  are 80 communists in congress, and while a  couple of people  on this message board have expressed agreement, there is no evidence of it either from Allan West or anyone else.  

 

Of course, if you want to say, all liberals are socialists and all socialists are communists, then all liberals are communists and there are a bunch of communists in congress. 

 

Personally, I think it's a bizarre thing to say, and it shows why Allan West is no longer  in congress.
