Here it is, just looking at 2004, on the 20 votes selected by the ADA as most critical to leftist causes, Bernie Sanders (avowed socialist) rates 95%, but Nancy Pelosi and a whole slew of others rated 100%!!! There are PLENTY of the Demagogues who rated 90-100%, right up there with socialist Bernie, as ideal reps for the left.
It would be most interesting to see over 5, 10, and 20 years how many of them rate just as far left as Bernie....
You sure enough made my point. The only difference is that Sanders is more honest than the rest by openly laying claim to the Socialist label.
Great post!
