Apparently nobody here has started Berniekos or berniekos.com, so let me at least get the ball rolling. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) makes the most sense of any of our US Senators, and is our only non-Lieberman Independent. He proposes policies along the lines of western european/scandanavian democratic socialism.
Follow me. . .
Listen to his opposition to the recent "debt limit crisis" agreement:
"At a time when this country has the most unequal distribution of income and wealth of any major country on earth, and when we are now spending almost three times as much on the military as we did 15 years ago, there are fairer ways to cut the deficit that do not cause more pain for those who are already hurting. Further, we must not lose our focus on the need to create millions of new jobs to take us out of this horrendous recession."
So obviously true and clearly stated!
Here's his editorial in the wsj:

berniekos is dedicated to electing more and better socialists. Bernie is our only one in the US Senate-- are there any socialists left in the House these days? (I'll research that and post that next.)
I am a democratic socialist, believing in a more democratic and more equal society for the betterment of our ecosystem and our global public health. I make no apologies.
This budget deal reminds me of another truth teller, George Carlin, who said: “The word bipartisan means some larger-than-usual deception is being carried out."
