1. Commies have been supporting Dems for a long time
I believe it's CP policy to work with/within the Democratic party to forward their goals. However, IIRC it's not their policy to endorse specific candidates for any office, unless s/he is running as a Communist.

I might also add that the CP USA broke with the Kremlin and the Internationals some time in the 1940s, and has NO relationship with the former Soviet Union or China. Currently they're not much different from the other Socialist parties on the left, like the SWP.

2. Correct,..snopes can't debunk the truth.
I was browsing the CP USA website the other day along with democratic socialists of America...They are all supporting Kerry.

nothing to be ashamed of.

3. Yeah, some RWers need to get some hobbies IMO
I guess I wouldn't be suprised if there were fascist/nazi groups supporting the GOP this year under the same premise. I'd be curious to see, really, but unlike the RWers who spread this garbage I have a life. :)
