RS>Seems an Alaska congressasshole is channeling "Tailgunner Joe"
RS>McCarthy.


RS>You have to go all the way back to 1929 to find a member of the
RS>Socialist Party in the U.S. House of Representatives, but U.S. Rep.
RS>Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.) says the "workers' party" is alive and
RS>kicking on Capital Hill.

RS>While addressing elected officials yesterday in his Birmingham-area
RS>district, the conservative congressman told an audience at the
RS>Trussville Civic Center that socialists in Congress are pressuring
RS>President Obama to cater to the far left of the political spectrum,
RS>The Birmingham News reports.

RS>"Some of these guys I work with, the men and women in Congress, are
RS>socialists," the congressman said.

RS>When asked to name names following his remarks, Bachus could only
RS>cite one person - U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.), a
RS>self-described "Democratic Socialist." But he demurred when pressed
RS>to name specific members of the House who subscribe to socialism.

RS>He had a number though. Bachus was able to say that 17 house members
RS>are socialists.

The number 17 is probably low.
