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?"

    but to summerise:

    Democrats
    Hillary Clinton - Windows Server 2003, Microsoft-IIS/6.0 by Paul Holcomb
    Barack Obama - FreeBSD, Apache by pair Networks

    Republicans
    Mike Huckabee - Windows Server 2003, Microsoft-IIS/6.0 by LNH Inc.
    John McCain - Windows Server 2003, Microsoft-IIS/6.0 by Smartech Corporation
    Ron Paul - Linux, Apache by Rackspace

    Worth Mentioning:
    Al Gore (Democrat) - Linux, Apache by Rackspace
    Dennis Kucinich (Democrat) - Linux, Apache by New Age Consulting
    Rudy Giuliani (Republican) - Linux, Apache by RackSpace
    John Edwards (Democrat) - Linux, Apache by Plus Three

    To summerise, the probably winners of the nominations are both running winblows. Damn no penguins or devils in the white house, just evil butterfiles!

    I'm still not persuaded. For maximum persuasiveness in communications, can you please try using more all-caps text and putting in a lot swear words and additional information-free accusations? Everyone loves that stuff.

    It's hard for me to find a rationale for a 19-clip semi-automatic.

    It's for protection from a tyrannical government.
