McCain vs. Obama on Tech Issues

Posted by timothy on from the six-v-half-a-dozen dept.

eldavojohn writes "Ars is running a brief article that looks at stances from Chuck Fish of McCain's campaign and Daniel Weitzner from Obama's in regards to technical issues that may cause us geeks to vote one way or the other. From openness vs. bandwidth in the net neutrality issue to those pesky National Security Letters, there's some key differences that just might play at least a small part in your vote. You may also remember our discussions on who is best for geeks."

  1. Tech? Get the basics right first... by LynnwoodRooster · · Score: 1, Troll

    I'm more concerned about knowing there aren't 57 states in the US, or that you're not seeing dead people in the audience. Get that right first, then we can talk tech...

  2. Re:Has Obama been selected by penguin_dance · · Score: 1, Troll

    I DO KNOW when someone takes food off of my family's table, tells me what kind of car I can drive or I have to spend my child's college fund to fill up my car because someone thinks (incorrectly, I might add) that a fuckin' caribou might be badly affected if we do the same thing in ANWR that we do in every state in the union, including about 7 miles away in Prudhoe Bay.

    Guess how I'm voting?

    Unfortunately there's not a dime's difference between the candidates there. McCain ALSO opposes drilling in ANWR. He even went as far as comparing it to drilling in the Grand Canyon, i.e., a national treasure.
