Allen West: I've 'Heard' 80 House Democrats Are Communist Party Members WASHINGTON -- As many as 80 House Democrats are communists, according to Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.). West warned constituents at a Tuesday town hall event that he's "heard" that dozens of his Democratic colleagues in the House are members of the Communist Party, the Palm Beach Post reported. West wouldn't elaborate beyond that, however, and didn't offer up any names. There are currently 190 House Democrats. During the same event, which took place at Florida Atlantic University, the freshman Republican said President Barack Obama wouldn't have a public debate with him over their policy differences because he was "scared." The president was in Florida on Tuesday giving remarks about the economy and holding campaign events. "I really wish that, standing here before you, was Allen West and President Obama," West said, according to the Palm Beach Post. "We could have a simple discussion. But that ain't ever gonna happen." When an audience member asked why, West said in "a mocking voice" that it was because Obama "was too scared." 
A request for comment from West's spokeswoman was not immediately returned.

I'm with you on that. Fact is that they are pretty much all swine, as far as I'm concerned. Some are pink, and some are red. My contempt for them has no bounds.

Replies to Comment # 5. The task is actually finding the handful of them that do not behave as, believe as, or support the communists in any way, shape, or form.
