House Democrats Block Resolution Condemning Bernie Sanders’s Praise Of Fidel Castro
Democratic lawmakers Thursday successfully blocked a GOP resolution condemning Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’s laudatory comments about the Castro regime.
By a vote of 224-189 that fell along party lines, the House of Representatives on Thursday voted to block a resolution that not only condemned numerous human rights abuses that took place under the Castro regime, but also condemned recent instances where Sanders refused to fully denounce the late Fidel Castro’s dictatorial rule over Cuba.
The resolution was introduced by GOP Florida Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, who represents a district in the state that has 335,000 residents of Cuban descent — roughly half his entire constituency.

They've always been communist sympathizers, it's just that now. . . they no longer have to lie.
I can't see how anyone can be a leftist and a follower of the Constitution now.

Marx said the billionaire robber barons are "stealing" from workers. The laissez faire capitalists, libertarians, and Republicans say taxes are "stealing". So why is one type of "stealing" better than the other? It's all theft.

I have never once heard Sanders say he supports having no private ownership of property as a public policy positioin. Then how is he a communist?

A vote condemning Castro's human rights abuses is too much to ask of House Dems?
A vote chastising one of it's party members for supporting/praising a communist dictator GUILTY of those human rights abuses too much to ask of House Dems?
Yes,...Yes it is.
