Allen West Creates 0 Jobs but Finds 80 House Democratic Communists
By pushing Allen West’s claim that 80 Democrats in the House are communists the media is helping him cover up his anti-women and anti-jobs voting record.
According to the Palm Beach Post News, “The conservative tea party icon also got in shots at Democrats and President Obama, who spoke Tuesday at Florida Atlantic University. West said Obama was “scared” to have a discussion with him. He later said “he’s heard” up to 80 U.S. House Democrats are Communist Party members, but wouldn’t name names.” (Notice how the media reports the Republican lies as “shots” at Democrats?)
As with much of what comes out Allen West’s mouth, his claims make no sense. The Communist Party in the United States claims to have only 20,000 members in 28 states. Without naming names it is impossible to debunk West’s claims, but it is a pretty safe bet that there are exactly zero communists in the House of Representatives, but why is West talking about communists in the first place?
West’s claims of communism and President Obama being afraid of him are designed to hide his voting record. While he was running for the House in 2010, West said, “The most pressing issue for America, and indeed Florida with a 12.3% unemployment rate is job creation.” Once elected, Allen West dropped any pretense of job creation.
One of Rep. West’s first moves after being elected was to propose legislative that eliminated comprehensive private health insurance for women. West also joined the Republican push to defund Planned Parenthood. West has embarked on a comprehensive anti-women agenda, while at the same time he has voted against plan after plan to create jobs.
Allen West is the typical Republican member of the House. This is the same House that has created 0 jobs, and voted to kill millions since Republicans took majority control. West voted against the American Jobs Act. West also voted to end the Affordable Home Mortgage Program. West has voted for the budget, and has been a constant champion of more tax cuts for the wealthy.
West and the other House Republicans want you to get distracted by their headline grabbing statements, such as Paul Ryan accusing President Obama of throwing an tantrum and Allen West claiming that 80 House Democrats are communists. This kind of talk plays well to the base, and keeps the media occupied with distractions instead of exposing the radical ideologically corporate driven agenda of the House Republicans.
Rep. West is feeding the media more sensational headlines so that his name stays in the news while he is running for reelection. Most of all, West wants to keep the media, constituents and everyone else from asking, where is that jobs agenda that you promised us in 2010?
Allen West is trying to distract voters with commies, because he doesn’t want you to see that he is anti-women, anti-job, and on the wrong side of tax cuts for the wealthy.

There is something so distasteful and over reaching in the way Republicans campaign. They are more apt to using shock tactics as well as outright lies to get their point across. I see no statesmanship or any decorum in the order of respect. They instigate the worst in people, instead of inspire what is beneficial to all. I am very disappointed in the cult like aspirations that are basically self centered methods of politic(ing). There is no real concern about those individuals who are literally suffering in a rich to greedy society being built, and supported by the Republicans with cultist manipulations.

Commies? Unbelievable that we are going back to the fifties and the media, themselves victims of the communist scare, are complicit by giving this West cretin any air-play whatsoever. It is more evidence that despite the progress this country has made, we are still a backwater and it’s no wonder we’re on the decline.

“I believe there’s about 70, 80 to 81 members of the Democratic Party that are members of the Communist Party.” Allen West (R-FL)
Shouldn’t he have reported that emergency message from the safe confines of his bomb shelter, or, at the very least from under his desk with his hands clasped behind his neck and his head down?
two sandwiches short of a picnic, I have no doubt

Allen West is a bonafide nutcase, and I have yet to read or hear of anything remotely intelligent coming from him. I sincerely hope that he will be one of the very first representatives voted out of the House. He has contributed nothing of value, but has been a huge part of the kind of ugly divisiveness the modern Republican party promotes.

I think I know a couple of the people he called Communists. Like the cheese-eating cat outside the mousehole, I await developments with ba(i)ted breath.

And yet…
I hear lots of Pubs say how much they would like to see him serve as Vice President with Romney.
Are these people crazy…or what?

When will republicans get disgusted with these tactics? How can anyone in their right mind, accept this “fact” without verification?
I know, I know we are talking about republicans. But honestly, this is a political party supposedly representing the US.
When will enough be enough for the true republicans and when will they and how will they distance themselves from these people?

80 communists in the democratic senate mr West? Okay, name them or STFU !!!
This is coming from a man who was growing up in the part of the country where you could be killed without consequences for looking the wrong way or COLOR.
He may serve his masters well as their token idiot, but how the freak does he even sleep at night??? The self-hate permeating this man must make him a complete head case upstairs.

Right now, I’d rather deal with communists as compared to the Tea Party.
They’re a bit more rational, for one thing.
I’m just waiting and hoping that Conservative_heart will make a comment on this. I could use a chuckle today!!

This is hilarious. So many conservatives make such fools of the party, but West is the best.
Remember this “gentleman” is held in the highest esteem by Sarah Brushhog Palin

Michelle Obama Uses Bogus Social Security Numbers
From the WTPOTUS Reseach Blog
The so-called First Lady of The United States of America, Michelle Obama, needs to do some explaining.
Last spring as I was collecting the many addresses and social security numbers that Barack Obama has been using for several years, an interesting anomaly popped up. I discovered that Michelle Obama has been using several bogus social security numbers, and some are attached to actual living persons.
Clearly there is a history of the Obamas using fraudulent social security numbers in an attempt to hide what they have been doing for several years, and what that is, only they can answer.
It is well known that the Obamas were assisted in their presidential efforts by organizations such as ACORN, and SEIU. Many other organizations have come under scrutiny for their activities associated with voter fraud across many states leading up to Obama’s historic election in 2008.
The data does not lie.
Q. Why has the MSM and the United States Congress failed the American people in properly vetting these people for what they truly are?

Communist theory suggest that government will eventually become irrelevant and dissolve when the people and workers rise up. Considering Conservatives are always clamoring for “less government,” THEY are more ideologically closer to Communists than Democrats…after all, they ARE in “Red States.” ;)

Absolutely correct. I’ve had people get screaming angry with me because I’d said that communism is actually conservative in nature (they insisted it was liberal), but the parallels between them and the Republican party… are noticeable, and communist governments are ALWAYS almost reactionary in their conservatism.
