Best Super Tuesday Candidate for Technology?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the something-to-talk-about dept.

Petey_Alchemist writes "With Super Tuesday coming up and the political field somewhat winnowed down, the process of picking the nominees for the next American President is well underway. At the same time, the Internet is bustling through a period of legal questions like Copyright infringement, net neutrality, wireless spectrum, content filtering, broadband deployment. All of these are just a few of the host of issues that the next President will be pressured to weigh in on during his or her tenure. Who do you think would be the best (or worst) candidate on Internet issues?"

    I'm sure Ron Paul is a good choice for anyone who wants to escape responsibility for anything that happens in government. "Don't blame me. I voted for Ron Paul".

    If not being blamed is your objective, Paul is you best bet. If you want to actually accomplish something, then one of the candidates who can accomplish something might be better.

    Wow, he took away pensions from government workers? That sounds like a good thing for everyone except government workers.

    Why should anyone care about government workers? Do they care about me? Do they care about my pension? Why wouldn't government workers volunteer to give up their pensions so that I can have more money in my pocket? That's what they want me to do for them.
