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

Deuce said:
Stumbling over words when speaking off-the-cuff doesn't make you a fool. Literally every person on the planet does this.

The Clinton "parody" doesn't make any sense because it bears no relation to the situation. Maybe you just don't know what the word "parody" means.

It's always sensible to parody the Clintons.

What you said wasn't a parody, it was a reference. And not a reference that was appropriate to the situation. It's the sort of reference you'd see in a bad film remake.

So, if you think he was referring literally and unsarcastically to communism, you must believe one of two things:

1) Everyone in El Paso, Texas works for the government.
2) Congressman Garcia believes everyone in El Paso, Texas works for the government.

Which of these two things do you believe?

It would seem that this guy, like you said, is an idiot who doesn't understand the harm Communism has done throughout the world. He could have substituted fascism just as easily and people might have better understood how silly this comment was..

And in either case it shows him to be a bumbling fool. So like I said, what difference does it make?

<that and the Hillary Clinton parody went right over your head>

Because it's ridiculously played out and still misrepresents her comments.

I dont know what he meant, Im not a mind reader. We merely know his words, which he said.
 
Earwax intoxication. His brain is not getting enough nutrients so it has gone into emergency earwax consumption mode...
 
Deuce said:
...a fairly substantial one?

If he actually believes that the situation in question is "communism," he's an idiot.
If he doesn't actually believe that, it's just poor communication/delivery causing confusion about the actual message he intended to convey.

Joe Garcia is the same guy who wanted Cuba to be considered a state sponsor of terrorism. Anybody who would even suggest he was pro-communism by taking his quotes out of context is either uneducated or being dishonest:

Anyways, j-mac:

Joe García - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Garcia joined other Cuban lawmakers in submitting a letter to the State Department calling for Cuba to remain a designated state-sponsor of terrorism. And in a Sept. 19 letter, he joined with the other three Cuban-American House members by raising concerns over the regime’s involvement in selling art at a Houston art fair.[12]

García supported the application of a Havana-based research institute to get a license from the U.S. Treasury Department to test and market a diabetes treatment in the United States. Critics claim that the license could weaken the embargo and could eventually lead to giving the Castro regime access to American markets without political reform.[13]

García believes the United States should continue to allow Cuban-Americans to make unlimited trips to Cuba and other Americans to go there for "purposeful travel," such as educational tours and religious missions. [14]

Joe Garcia on the Issues

Advocate for release of all political prisoners in Cuba. (Nov 2012)

Here is that liberal rag the Miami Herald on him:

No, GOP, Joe Garcia isn't for "cozying up" to Venezuela's regime; he's backing sanctions | Naked Politics

The first sentence is true. Gov. Scott, Sen. Marco Rubio and Lieutenant Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera held a Friday event in Doral that clearly showed the state's GOP leadership supports the cause of Venezuelan liberty and an end to Maduro's reign.
The second sentence is false. Garcia, a Democratic U.S. representative, is not backing "a policy of cozying up" to the government in Caracas.

Garcia actually has signed on to a letter proposed by Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen that asks President Obama to impose sanctinos on Venezuela. The sanctions are nearly identical to the sanctions legislation that Rubio has introduced in the U.S. Senate and that he and Scott touted to cheers from the Venezuelan exiles on Friday.

“I do think individual sanctions against people who are violating human rights make sense,” Garcia told The Tampa Tribune.

Also, Garcia is a co-sponsor of a Republican resolution that condemns Venezuela's actions and calls on the international community to bring democratic reforms. That resolution passed Friday.

LOL, even if I buy that he was waxing comical with his comments, between earwax snacks, what he was ultimately talking about was not spending any more money on border security, which according to Mediaite, (not a right wing source)

"Garcia said. Laughing at Republicans for spending on border security that creates employment opportunities, he added, “If you give everybody a good government job, there’s no crime.”

Dem Rep. Joe Garcia in Hot Water for ‘Communism Works’ Remark | Mediaite

So, either way you put it, he is either joking about America turning communist, or he is saying that he is part of the "open border's" crowd....Either way, severely out of touch.

None of that makes him a communist or pro-communism. You don't have to buy it. Facts are facts.

I would suggest there is substance involved here, an not content substance but the kind that alter reality, as in crack maybe.

Communism works? Okaaay, he said between mouthfuls of his own earwax...........

If I were a Republican, I would contribute heavily to this guy's campaign, maybe get him to run for president.....the "earwax" candidate. He rather makes the most radical Tea Bagger look very intelligent, insightful and reasoned.
