Reply #16: Love Dennis, but I see Bernie as more effective .... [View All]

He is also far better at dismissing the RW idiots. Though their views are similar on many issues, I think it is Bernie's willingess to call himself (unabashedly) a Socialist that gives him a bit of teflon. Granted, Dennis would be unlikely to be elected as a self-professed "socialist" in his District, as opposed to Vermont, but nonetheless. Bernie comes across as a staunch and unrepentant defender of his views. Dennis can be passionate, but to me at least, not quite as forceful. Of course some of this may be the simple result of Bernie being one/100 in the Senate and Dennis being merely one/435 in the House.

That said, I love them both.
