Teabagger wackadoodle 1st term congressman Allen West (R-FL) (ever noticed how the abbreviation for Republican from Florida looks a whole lot like “rolling on the floor laughing?) said at a recent town hall meeting that he believes plenty of Democratic congressman are actual, card carrying members of the Communist Party. Really. Literally.
Allen West
Moderator: What percentage of the American legislature do you think are card-carrying Marxists or International Socialist?
West: It’s a good question. I believe there’s about 78 to 81 members of the Democrat Party who are members of the Communist Party. It’s called the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
In fairness, he did say “I believe…” and not “I have in my hand the names of…” which is what former Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy is remembered for. Also, “I believe” gives him an easy out. It doesn’t matter if he gets proved wrong. There’s nothing illegal about any sentence which starts with the phrase “I believe…”
For instance, I believe that 78 to 81 Republican congressmen are closeted homosexuals.
I believe that 78 to 81 Republican congressmen have bank accounts that nobody knows about.
I believe that 78 to 81 Republican congressmen wear an earpiece so they can take direct instructions from Illuminati headquarters at all times.
I believe that 78 to 81 Republican congressmen have had sex with some non-human mammal at some point in their lives, most likely a cow. I believe that, while in commission of this act, they have actually used the phrase “I love you.”
I believe that 78 to 81 Republican congressmen are functionally illiterate.
I believe that 78 to 81 Republican congressmen wear women’s underwear while they are at work on the house floor. (this number excludes actual female Republican congresspeople)
I believe that 78 to 81 Republican congressmen have, at some point within the last 6 months, parked illegally in a handicapped space.
I believe that 78 to 81 Republican congressmen do not remember their children’s birthdays, exact ages or full names.
I believe that 78 to 81 Republican congressmen have masturbated while watching Sarah Palin speeches.
Of course, I have no evidence for any of these claims. But neither does Allen West.

Dude. You really need to czech your partisan(ship) or whatever appropriate suffix that goes along with that rant and pay the 10 crowns to leave it in the satna, so you’re free to dance. If, at this point, you think: a) parties matter; b) parties are different; c) parties exist = you’re a bit behind the times and the cue (ball). Get with the (lack of) program and join the party, not THE party or pointless pluralism therein thereof.
Oh yeah, and Obama sucks. Worse than this pointless douche that you wasted your energy on writing about and me reading about. It’s clear – he sucks, badly, but who cares what your douche had to say? Stupid? Yes. But unfortunately, we all have to listen to the president, not because he’s a douche, but because it matters and has impact and is fucking up the country, its sheeple and its tenuous future. Bless.
The Democrats disappoint me daily, but the Republicans are flat out evil and a threat to life on Earth as we know it. That’s not hyperbole. The MIC and the doctrine of permanent war, their stance on global warming and their overall fight against science, and their blatant corporatism are all examples of that.
Partisan? You bet your sweet ass I’m partisan.
The party hyperbole is simply a way to keep you distracted from the true picture and it’s obviously working. Mao was the master of the method but Washington (et. al.) has honed it’s game. Take a step back from the Repub/Dem tunnel vision and see the bigger pic.
This was ROFLMFAO funny!
Oh, and fu k Mike – and not the good kind. You hit the nail on the head.
I believe 78-81 percent of Republican Congressmen, and that Mike guy, too, are extraterrestrial lizards from V. Now, where did I leave my Roddy Piper specs? They Live (dir. John Carpenter) was actually a documentary. They won’t rest until our planetary atmosphere is completely poisoned so they can breathe….
Go ahead, scratch Santorum…you’ll see!
I believe Romney is an earthing synonym for Romulan….
ROFL R-FL
Maggie, you know Mike.
I believe you’re closer on most of your estimates than Allen West.
Read the old book “The Rich and the Super Rich” wherein they lay out the real relationship between the Dems and the Repubs. Someone like Mike above is obviously a Republican. They always do this song and dance about the Dems and Repubs being the same, I’ve seen this a dozen times over the years — it’s how the Republicans / Conservatives / Right-wingers try to discourage people from voting because they know that whenever voter turnout is high, the Democrats always win. Conversely, when voter turnout is low, the Republicans always win. Simple truth.
The fact is that the extremists — the right-wing Christian fundamentalists and the conservative crazies — only make up 20% of the population. But they try to exert much more influence than their puny numbers would normally allow. They do this by lying, basically. They lie about everything. And they’re willing to do anything to get their way. They deny science. They deny historical facts. They subvert the Constitution and America itself. They even go so far as to pretend they’re Democrats and hide their true agenda just to get elected to power, and then their true alien lizard nature comes out. (Are they really alien lizards? Who knows — they act like the immoral demonic beings in V — so, same same. And they are killing innocent humans and destroying the planet.)
Their latest strategy is to just outright steal elections, using redistricting, using voter suppression, using election fraud, using intimidation, using hacked electronic voting machines and digital theft, using revision of history, using right-wing courts and even the Supreme Court to change election results. Part of that strategy is to control media, like Fox News, who lie constantly and unceasingly. George Bush’s cousin worked at Fox News and was pivotal in stealing the 2000 election. They also use moderate-sounding moles like Joe Scarborough who constantly harps on the two parties being “the same” and “voters are discouraged” and “government is dysfunctional so that’s why people stop voting” and so on. I call these people “submarine Republicans” because their job is to make Republicans seem respectable while subtly discouraging voter outrage and participation.
In the book The Rich and the Super Rich, the author identifies the Democrats as representing the Super Rich, the people who really own and control this country (and perhaps the world). They know that if things get too bad we have revolution, which is always bad for those at the top. So the Democrats seem concerned with everyone’s health and welfare because they are — they don’t want want to rock the boat. So from the Democrats we get bread and circuses. It’s the old Roman model of governing.
The Republicans, on the other hand, represent the Rich — the new rich, the crude rich, those still scrabbling to get to the top. They are radicals, they are outlaws, they want to upset the system. The Democrats don’t want to rock the boat. The Republicans and those they represent want to rock the boat. When the American boat rocks, money falls over the side and into their pockets. The Democrats and those they represent want stability. The Republicans want strife, and chaos, and war, and division, and stupidity, and greed, and, frankly, the destruction of America. They make money on all of those bad things. They make money on buying up foreclosed homes and renting them back to the loser Middle Classes. They make money carrying out a phoney drug war, policing that war, and lots of money on building and running the prisons. They make money on importing cheap foreign labor and keeping it cheap by making it illegal. They sell weapons to our enemies and make deals with dictators and terrorists. And in all these activities they make lots of money regardless of what it does to our country and our society.
So the Democrats represent the Good/Evil Empire, both its good and bad points. The Republicans represent the madmen and outlaws willing to tear down parts of the empire in order to satisfy their own greed.
This isn’t conspiracy theory, this is just how things are. And of course the kicker is that the Super Rich contribute to both sides, just to hedge their bets. Unfortunately while doing so they are also killing the planet.
