Sarah Palin's Stance On Technology Issues

Posted by Soulskill on from the wait,-alaska-has-electricity? dept.

Revolution Radio writes "BetaNews has a short description of what we might expect from Governor Palin regarding technology issues. She demonstrated her familiarity with the internet by initiating an online education program for state workers, using the web for government transparency, and a supporting the general concept of 'long-distance distribution of services' (similar to net neutrality?)." We've previously discussed Senator Joe Biden's tech voting record and compared the technology platforms of Obama and McCain. In addition to the above story about Palin, Betanews also has analyses of Obama, McCain, and Biden regarding tech policy.

    That allegation is simply a *fabrication*. It started on Daily Kos - and it's utter nonsense.

  2. Obama/Biden 08 - live on hope, government cheese by SuperKendall · · Score: 1, Troll

    For a future without books.

    What gives you that impression, when both candidates are obviously quite intelligent?

    I'm voting for the candidate(s) who most closely embody the Libertarian ideals I have - and this year, that's not Barr.

    I always expected the Republicans would get taken over by libertarians, and this is the key year for that to actually occur. McCain might not be the most libertarian but Palin is more obviously libertarian than we have seen for some time - and she could well be the Presidential candidate four years hence.

    You want to make Libertarianism as a philosophy matter? Take over one of the major parties and make it your own. The Democrats go further every year down the side of Big Government, and the last eight have unhappily seen a similar trend from the Republicans with government expansion as well - we MUST reverse this trend and inject libertarianism back into the system, or we will all truly become cogs in the large system of government.

    A) Because KOS is a far left hate mongering propaganda site? You didn't know this?

    B) No they were not. The ORIGINAL source has totally denied the story.

    "there appears to be no truth to the claim made by the commenter, and no further documentation or support for this has turned up."
