Congressmen Rated On Tech-Friendliness

Uncle Dick writes "CNET has released the results of a study ranking every US Representative and Senator on a scale rating their relative friendliness towards various technology and internet related issues. Republicans and Democrats fare similarly in both houses of Congress, although CNET gives the edge to the GOP. Big Winner? Ron Paul (R-TX). 2004 Presidential candidate John Kerry (D-MA) does not fare so well."

Sen. Kerry

[FLOOBYDUST]

Senator Kerry issued an apology today for being technology averse but blamed it all on President Bush. . The honorable war hero Senator reminds us that he voted for creating internet (with Sen. Gore) before he voted against it.

John Kerry is Satan...

....I have written many times and even received replies once or twice the are uniformly in the camp of I'll say and do what ever the media concerns pay me to say and do. He is a profoundly bad man, thank GOD the american public as a whole had better sense than to elect that dickhead as the president.

OMG: I'm a "liberal"

Thanks for the link, turned out I was a liberal huddling in the corner next to warm centrist and somewhat autistic libetarian(jk). I think Ron Paul sounds like a bit of a nutter but kudos for the tech score (assuming I agree with the method that I didn't read). BTW over here in Australia the conservatives are the "Liberal Party", however the sites definition of "liberal" sits with me just fine thankyou :)

From the GP's link:
LIBERAL
LIBERALS usually embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but tend to support significant government control of the economy. They generally support a government-funded "safety net" to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations, defend civil liberties and free expression, support government action to promote equality, and tolerate diverse lifestyles.
