Dem Congressman: ‘We’ve Proved That Communism Works’

[Max E.]

Not much to add here, a guy who fled his own communist homeland, who eats his own earwax thinks that communism works, sounds alot like the leftwing braintrust we have around here.


Democratic Florida Rep. Joe Garcia — fresh off being caught eating his own earwax on camera — was caught red-handed (or is it yellow-fingered?) in another gaffe this week, claiming that low crime rates in border cities with lots of federal immigration workers is proof that “Communism works.”

Garcia made the comment during a Google hangout he convened last week to talk about comprehensive immigration reform with supporters. The Democrat attempted to point out how, for all their talk about limited government, many Republicans are fine spending loads of government money on border security.

“Let me give you an example, the kind of money we’ve poured in,” he said. “So the most dangerous — sorry, the safest city in America is El Paso, Texas. It happens to be across the border from the most dangerous city in the Americas, which is Juarez. Right?”

“And two of the safest cities in America, two of them are on the border with Mexico,” Garcia continued. “And of course, the reason is we’ve proved that Communism works. If you give everybody a good government job, there’s no crime.”

“But that isn’t what we should be doing on the border,” he continued. “The kind of money we’ve poured into it, and we’re having diminishing returns.”

The video was uploaded to YouTube by the America Rising PAC, a Republican PAC founded in 2013 and dedicated to opposition research. It’s also the same group that originally uploaded Garcia’s earwax snafu.

Garcia, who is of Cuban descent along with many of his south Florida constituents, told the Miami Herald he never meant to espouse Communism — and was instead taking a tongue-in-cheek shot at his GOP opponents.

“This is an absurdity, accusing the son of Cuban immigrants of believing in Communism is just ridiculous,” he declared.

But Garcia’s district is already rated a toss-up by the Cook Political Report, and with their second attack on the congressman in a week America Rising clearly senses an opening in the south Florida district.

Coupling the “ew” factor of the earwax video with Garcia’s chirpy endorsement of Communism, Republicans now have a rather robust chest of opposition material to deploy in Florida this fall.

There's no pure communism around, not even in the family, and there's no pure capitalism around, either. So to argue that one or the other always works, or never works, is sophomoric.

Well , Mr ricter your point is partly true;
but never forget this song we learned in President Ronald Reagan's military.

''See that commie dressed in black;
drive my bayonet in his back.....!!!!! '' In the military we were required to sing that;
direct order.

But now we [private sector]sing it for the fun/truth of it

2nd verse of US military commie killing song follows ;
I was was the last one he[commie] did see;
Airborne ranger infantry!!!!!

your comment tortures logic.

no one need argue pure communism sucks to show that historically almost every example of communistic type govt has created massive mis allocation of resources... long lines for very basic goods like bread... very low standards of living... extreme wealth gaps and very negative even oppressive personal liberty and freedom.
Not to mention extermination and torture of the opposition a la tax collectors and well armed govt militia men pointing ARs.

And for those of you on the left who prefer the above... let me hit close to home... Big Communism destroys the environment in a big way.

There's no pure communism around, not even in the family, and there's no pure capitalism around, either. So to argue that one or the other always works, or never works, is sophomoric.

Sounds like gilded age capitalism, too. Or a colonial banana republic.
