Yes, Ma’am, Your Voting Record is to the Left of a Socialist

February 2, 2010 by B. Daniel Blatt

While the junior Senator from Vermont may be “the only socialist in the U.S. Congress“, Bernie Sanders is not the biggest spender in the U.S. Senate.  According to David Boaz of the Cato Institute:

42 senators in 2008 voted to spend more tax dollars than socialist Bernie Sanders. They include his neighbor Pat Leahy; Californians Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, who just can’t understand why their home state is in fiscal trouble; and the Eastern Seaboard anti-taxpayer Murderers’ Row of Kerry, Dodd, Lieberman, Clinton, Schumer, Lautenberg, Menendez, Carper, Biden, Cardin, and Mikulski.

The American Conservative Union rated Mrs. Boxer as even more liberal than Mr. Sanders.

Wonder what California voters are going to think when they learn that our junior Senator’s spending record matches that of our state’s profligate and unpopular legislature.  I’d say it’s something in the water out here, but Boxer just doesn’t spend enough time in her own state to drink enough of the water.

Ma’am, I think it’s time you look for another job, ’cause you’re just not looking out for California taxpayers.

    Obama’s senate voting record was also to the left of Bernie Sanders… but they still get mad if you call him a socialist.

    You have to define “Socialist” and “Socialism”… if they are spending on welfare payments and expanding welfare entitlements, then they are socialists.

    The Obot is Communist. Just check out his history.

    Seriously, when will y’all start the move to route out communists in the government, Mrs. Iselin?

    Kevin – no need to root out the socialists in our gummint… they’re right out in the open.

    If you can’t look around to see the results of leftist fiscal policy then there’s nothing I can say.
