I am new to blogging, dragged into it by rogue governance, so Guarino is new to me.
I was unaware of what he refers to as "a biennial feature" on his blog that this time around compared self proclaimed socialist, Bernie Sanders, who serves as a Senator in Vermont to Rep. Brad Miller.
It it he compared the the voting records of the two via the American Conservative Union (Conservative) and the Americans for Democratic Action. (Liberal) The two use the same 100 point scale.
- For the ACU, the closer to zero one rates the more liberal one is.
- For the ADA the closer to 100 one is more liberal they are.
...................ACU ...............ADA
...................2009 .............2009
Miller.......... 0................... 100
Sanders...... 12 ..................100
Guarino concludes:
If anything, Congressman Brad Miller's voting record is to the left of Senator Bernie Sanders. Draw your own conclusions; but I think Miller himself is a socialist, just like Sanders.
I agree.

he's not a Socialist, as you proclaim over and over and over again.
themiddleclass.org is a socialist site in drag and as such it is no surprise Brad Miller received a 96% socialist score from them.
ReplyDeleteand your blog site is fascist, naziesque political drivel.
ReplyDeleteLimited governance and a strong sense of liberty (staples of this site) are not fascist nor "naziesque".
ReplyDeleteIf fact, both of your accusations require the same strong central government and limited liberty called for by progressives in America. Compound that with the recent $13 trillion corporate financial bailout and automotive industry purchases and it becomes obvious where fascism currently lurks.
It seems a bit of self education followed self assessment should be in your future.
From wiki:
"Fascists believe that a nation is an organic community that requires strong leadership, singular collective identity, and the will and ability to commit violence and wage war in order to keep the nation strong. They claim that culture is created by the collective national society and its state, that cultural ideas are what give individuals identity, and thus they reject individualism.[15] Viewing the nation as an integrated collective community, they see pluralism as a dysfunctional aspect of society, and justify a totalitarian state as a means to represent the nation in its entirety."
Hey Lady, you're the one who needs education. But you have so much to learn, one hardly knows where to start with your required curricula.
ReplyDeleteand by the way, make up your mind; you can't be both socialist and fascist at the same time but you keep mixing up both definitions of anyone who doesn't happen to agree with you and "the tea"
"Hey Lady, you're the one who needs education. But you have so much to learn, one hardly knows where to start with your required curricula."
ReplyDeleteA statement made with assertion or wit does not equate to an argument. If you wish to convince anyone of anything consider referencing your so called "education" to something ... anything.
Secondly,
Socialists and Fascists both require big government at the expense of individual liberty. It is what it is, no tea required.
The two are more alike than you seem ready to accept.
