Alan West was a career military officer for 20 years and had several deployments in Iraq. As an Iraq Veteran of Officer status where does he get the view innumerable members of a governing body of the federal government are lined with communists? Where does that idiotic idea come from? I want to know if those views stem from his years in the military?
WASHINGTON -- Republican Rep. Allen West (click title to entry - thank you) said he believes 75-plus House Democrats are members of the Communist Party, a claim that echoed Joe McCarthy's unsubstantiated 1950s charges that communists had infiltrated the top ranks of the U.S. government....
I also want to know if the GOP has the same view, including any prospective candidate for President. Currently, Rep. Paul serves with these members of Congress along with West. What does he and other candidates have to say about Rep. West statement?
