Grubb for Congress. By Weblog.

An anonymous reader writes: "Wired is running a story about a (Libertarian) candidate for Congress in North Carolina whose platform explicitly supports P2P file-sharing activity. She's running against one of the big supporters of the Berman P2P hacking bill." The weblog community is all excited over her because she drank the Kool-aid.

  1. Leftist Socialist.... by friedmud · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Seems like a leftist socialist to me (the whole thing about mandatory 6 month maternity leave - and tax breaks for helping further).

    I am sorry but I am not for this at all. If we didn't have so many damn taxes taking our money away and giving it to other people women could afford to take off 6 months from work and still be ok.

    We DONT need a bigger government. All the people trying to create laws to keep computer users down (dmca, sssca, anti p2p) are just doing the same thing that she is doing.... Overstepping the bounds of a democratic government.

    If you want 6 months maternity leave then move to france - or some other socialist community. Meanwhile we here in america need to get back to what made this country tick in the first place... healthy competition. FDR's New Deal has put this country on a path to distruction.

    Lets get rid of the patent bullshit. Lets get rid of the monopolies. Let's get rid of the damned congress people accepting "donations". And let's get back on track.
