Quote:How so? To me, Bernie is pretty much a phony. If he were a socialist he'd be advocating governmental control of the means of production; control of utilities and mass transportation.

I don't think Bernie is dishonest about those things. "Socialist" means different things to different people. While the definition includes the government actually owning the factories, many socialists consider government control through heavy regulation as sufficient, and Bernie has made regulating industry and banking one of his main taking points. AFAIK he hasn't come out against government control of utilities and mass transportation either.

In any case I said "most" honest among the candidates. I never claimed he was totally honest. Every politician lies.
