Also, not everyone on that list is a leftist. Some are. Others are mainstream liberals, a few of whom have even taken some conservative stances on some issues. For example, Sheila Jackson-Lee voted with the Bush Administration on energy and trade issues.
Anyone pushing government take overs of health care without listening to voters or reading the bill would be very far left IMO.

We know Communist USA supports Democrat candidates all the time.

The communist party USA put out a statement a few months ago that they were coming close to a full seizure of the democrat party. So yes, they already did.

The bill represented corporate welfare for the insurance industry, not a government takeover.

As said earlier in the thread CPUSA isn't even the largest communist party in the US let alone any sort of significant force. Their numbers are so small as to be meaningless.

What about the Democratic party? Their numbers are not that small.

Cost of insurance is going through the roof and all the socialized medicine models around the world tend to just let the old people die rather than give care.

Not what we need IMO.
Even the unions got a pass from our fearless leader.

Why not? The Republican party merged with the Fascist party long ago.

Because I've known people who were members, and have known other people who were members of other communist groups like SWP, SEP, PSL, etc. I've also known people who were members of the John Birch Society and Tea Party groups, does that make me a member of those groups?

The current number of CPUSA members nationwide is about 1000, the majority of whom are in the Northeast. They're not even the biggest communist group in the US - the SWP, PSL, and WWP are bigger.

Now, what are their numbers going to be when they merge with the Democratic party?

Do you have a link to the Fascist party website? I'd like to compare their program with the Republican party's program.
