Socialist Party of America Releases The Names of 70 Democrat Members Of Congress Who Are Members Of Their Caucus
Our contribution? Rosa Delauro.

This is NOT something I am happy to post, it's very disturbing to me. Holy effing crap. I mean, I had some idea, but WTF I did not think they infiltrated the government to this degree.

She's disgusting. Luckily she won't be around much longer. With all the layoffs in NH county, I can't imagine too many of them will be keeping their jobs.

Rosa Rocks! I sat next to her on a plane last year and we talked for about two hours. What a great woman! She is a true in-your-face, champion-of-the-downtrodden, take-no-prisoners liberal. No apologies. One of the few in congress with the guts to be true to her beliefs and not cower in the face of opposition.

By the way, Rosa flies coach.

JViello... Why the "'s around person? Are you dehumanizing her because she was different political beliefs than you? That's pretty specious.

She received 2x the votes of her opponent last time (even with a Green Party liberal in the race). I think she'll be around for a while. Her margin was by far the highest of any of Connecticut's reps.

All that is fine and good. Perhaps she can move to a socialist country where her utopia can be realized. This is not it.

As for the "" I didn't want to give away who in the subject by writing "man" or "woman".

Jokes make me laugh. Hahahahahahaha...oh wait. This is the actual article released. If you read the "blog" there are links to relevant, factual information.

DSA-Members: American Socialist Voter - Democratic Socialists of America - 10-1-09

So go ahead and try to laugh it off...or are you trying to cover reality up by dismissing the source? hmmmm

Enough with the nonsense. America needs to stop blaming their problems on politicians.

This has to be some sort of "rumor mill" even with you showing a couple of obscure sites, which by the way the articles are 1-2 years old. I don't think even Fox News has reported anything like this, and I'm sure they would've long jumped on it if it were really true. This sounds like modern day "McCarthy-ist paranoia" to me......

Obama may "lean left" (though ironically many Democrats think he's not "left enough") but a Socialist? Give me a break. The only one on that list who probably really is a "pure Socialist" is Bernie Sanders.
