Nancy Pelosi is not a Socialist. Neither is Barney Frank – not by a long shot.
You want to know who is? The following are real Socialists, members of the Socialist Workers Party, running for Congress in 2010:
James Harris for U.S. Senate in California
Lisa Potash for U.S. Senate in Georgia
Deborah Liatos for U.S. Senate in Florida
Alyson Kennedy for U.S. Senate in Illinois
Maggie Trowe for U.S. Senate in Iowa
Ruth Robinett for U.S. Senate in New York
Willie Cotton for U.S. Senate in New York
Osborne Hart for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania
John Naubert for U.S. Senate in Washington
Gerardo Sánchez for U.S. House in California’s 8th congressional district
Laura Anderson for U.S. House in the 1st congressional district of Illinois
Rebecca Williamson for U.S. House in Iowa’s 3rd congressional district
Laura Garza for U.S. House in the 8th congressional district of Massachusetts
Anthony Lane for U.S. House in Minnesota’s 5th congressional district
Róger Calero for U.S. House in New York’s 15th congressional district
Steve Warshell for U.S. House in the 18th congressional district of Texas
Mary Martin for U.S. House in the 7th congressional district of Washington
Yeah – Osborne Hart! (what district is he in?)
Osborne Hart isn’t running for a district. He’s running for Senate, which means that he’s running across all of Pennsylvania.
