Just for the fun of it, I few of my friends (also Canadian) did it.
One had Bernie Sanders 95%, the other Bernie Sanders 86%.
So then for fun, to find out archnemesis US politician, we did the quiz again taking the same priority but taking the answer which was must repulsive.
I had Rick Santorum 96%. My friends had Rick Santorum 92% and Marco Rubio 96%.
You’re missing my point. Bernie Sanders is no more for gun rights than Chuck Schumer or Dianne Feinstein. And trying to make him out to be is text book “The Big Lie”.

No, you don’t get to play the “both sides do it” game with me. Proposals that merely nudge our policy towards those of major European countries get Republicans screaming socialism.

Oh, well, if I don’t get to do that…
Wait! Sure I do! Because in this case it’s true, and even if it wasn’t, I can play any games I like anyway. You, however, aren’t allowed to play ‘let’s build a strawman’ game (I have thus arbitrarily decreed it!), since I didn’t say anything about Republicans OR nudging our policies one way or the other, nor was that even the gist of my post.
I don’t give a flying fuck what he’s called. He’s not advocating the socialization of the means of production or distribution, so he’s not a real socialist IMHO. He’s a liberal with pretensions. And regardless, that wasn’t my point either.
I DID think that the colonel sanders thing was funny, but I’m willing to concede that it probably didn’t even get a small smile from anyone. Oh well…c’est la vie.
I took his point to mean that the NRA is neither a reliable nor accurate arbiter of who is for or against gun rights.
This is the correct interpretation. I do not support Sanders’ stance on gun ownership, but I support the NRA’s position even less.
…Bernie’s gonna usurp Ho Chi Minh’s rightful place in an old 1959’s stock photo? Help me out here.
97% Sanders
90% Clinton
77% O’Malley
The rest are in the 30% and below range, and I wouldn’t vote for them if my life depended on it, which it does, and which is why they could never get my vote. On anything.
Go, Bernie!!
He repeatedly says he is a Social Democrat, not a Socialist.
Not that I ever heard. Cite?
The first link goes to Matt Vespa at townhall.com. If you’re so far right that you consider him leftist, you probably might want to avoid the media altogether.
This is yet another reason I’d like to see a Schweitzer candidacy: I’d love to see how the NRA would justify the inevitable F rating they’d give him. Because at this point, it’s pretty much a foregone conclusion that they would.
Bernie 95%
Hillary 87%
O’Malley 69%
Christie 34%
Jeb! 33%
Randy 30%
P.T. Bridgeport 27%
and then it starts to drop off…
