Media Fail To Report That Obama And Biden Are More Liberal Than Socialist Bernie Sanders

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Totally lost in the media's coverage of Barack Obama's announcement that Joe Biden would be his vice presidential nominee is the fact that according to National Journal's Vote Ratings the two have a more liberal voting record in the Senate than the admitted socialist Bernie Sanders:

Obama is THE MOST liberal member of the U. S. Senate. He is more liberal than 94% of the Senate on economic issues; 94% of the Senate on social issues; and 92% of the Senate on foreign issues. His composite "Liberal" score is 95.5%.

Biden is the 3RD MOST liberal member of the U. S. Senate. He is more liberal than 94% of the Senate on economic issues; 88% of the Senate on social issues; and 94% of the Senate on foreign issues. His composite "Liberal" score is 94.2%.

Both Obama and Biden are further to the left than Bernie Sanders, who comes in fourth. He is more liberal than 90% of the Senate on economic issues; 88% of the Senate on social issues; and 98% of the Senate on foreign issues. His composite "Liberal" score is 93.7% -- and Bernie Sanders identifies himself as a Socialist.
