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...
 
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.

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 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.

:D

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

The Brits need more Liberal Democrats in office... to even it all out with the Socialists...

;)
 
So we have people in Congress who have Socialist leanings.. so what! Thats always been the case ..and as long as we have a Republic ...there will always be a cornucopia of political beliefs in Congress representing the People of the United States.
 
That list is much longer if more would be honest and admit it, but thankfully Socialist is still a word that most Americans identify as extreme left and nothing mainstream.
 
I believe close to 100% of Liberals are Socialists, they're just smart enough to gradually grow government as Liberals and pretend it's something different.

It's sort of like choosing between the guy who likes to use the gas pedal more or the break pedal more when driving down Leftism Lane, at the end of the day you're still headed in the same direction, but people don't tend to notice the drive as much if it's slow enough that the scenery doesn't change too fast and the drive is more comfortable at slower speeds...

Creeping socialism with gradual government growth is the biggest threat to our economic freedom and way of life, far more than any social issue, precisely because it is so hard to counter. That's why any right-leaning people have to chip away at government whereever they can and counter it slowly too.
