    Socially conservative?

    He was rated 100% by NARAL and 93% by the ACLU.

    Legal abortion, legal gay marriage, legal drugs.
    Socially conservative, I think not...

    From your point of view, Yes.

    From my point of view he is one of our most dangerous members of Congress.

    and I am so glad that your point of view does not represent the majority of Americans.

    If he is truly socialist then he is definitely on the wrong side of economics. Regardless of government sanctioned gay marriage, he is definitely not on my side.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    Well, if that's what he believes, then it's awfully odd that he preaches to his 95% Christian uber-conservative constituents that that's GOD'S WAY.

    His only campaign messages are "I'm gonna bring home the bacon". I hate the man. If he got shot and died it would be a great day for the state of Mississippi. It really speaks poorly of the intelligence of the constituents of the 2nd district that they would elect the man.

    He was rated 100% by NARAL and 93% by the ACLU.

    He might be conservative on a couple of issues, but that doesn't make him conservative. Most people are conservative on at least a few issues. He might be somewhat pro-family, but his 100% pro-abortion stance cancels that out, in my opinon. (However I was under the impression he was pro- gay marriage... I stand corrected)

    America needs socialists in Congress to counterbalance the fruitcake-raving-right capitalists who abuse their positions to aide their financial position that America is plagued with....

    Two out of 435 do nothing to "counter" that... This is a preposterous statement, it's almost like you're a Brit or something who almost understands the US politics, but just not all of it.

    That's why I said 'US needs socialists'....

    Brent .. are you calling for a new round of Mccarthyism?
