At no point in that article does it clearly identify the Vermont Rep. as a Democrat.

You've conviced me. From this day forward I will never read the Bennington Banner.

This might have something to do with the fact that he's not a Democrat.

Brilliant! jax's is the best gimmick account by some way.

No, hes Independent, this is true. But he is liberal, and votes with the Democrats the majority of the time.

Re: More liberal hypocracy and biased media coverage
 

That DOESN'T make him a Democrat. He is an independent. He doesn't even caucus with the Democrats.

He votes with the Republicans on gun issues, for example. He voted against the AWB.

And he is pretty hard on Democrats as well, if you've EVER listened to him speak, which I seriously doubt. But I have.

"Brilliant! jax's is the best gimmick account by some way." I'm so glad you said that. I was starting to wonder if I was the only one who thought he was a joke.

BTW- nice avatar. My wife melt when she sees it.

I have, but I believe I am still right in saying that he votes with the Democrats more often, considerably more often, than he votes with the Republicans. I COULD be wrong though. He always gave me the impression he was left of center.

Re: More liberal hypocracy and biased media coverage
 

I think what Jax is getting at... is the media is biased because they didn't call him a Democrat... even though he's an independent. They should have said, "the Senator, who is independent but some might argue is slightly left of center,....." To do anything less, shows a liberal media bias and is, frankly, hypocritical of them. (In what way that's hypocritical is known only by Jax, but believe me, it must be true.)
