GOP beats Dems on tech-friendliness

Basically they arbitrarily chose a bunch of "tech industry" issues, then rated all Senators and Representatives on how they voted on those issues - based on what the article's writers FELT was the "tech friendly" stance.

And gee, how convenient, they couldn't rate * or Crashcart since they aren't in Congress.

The article comments are great - the tech-knowledgeable folks are writing in and calling them on their blatant bias. You have to register to post your own comment but it would be worth it to see them get deluged with messages blasting their bias.

1. Not biased, just mistitled.

The title should read: "GOP beats Dems on tech-CORPORATION-friendliness".

The basic tone of the article is correct, the GOP's positions on everything from software piracy, to free trade, to lower corporate taxes have been a boon to the stockholders of the Microsofts, Suns, and 3Coms of the country, and they are positions that our party generally opposes.

The GOP is definitely friendlier with the corporate giants of the tech industry than the Democrats are, but whether than qualifies as "tech-friendly" is dubious.

Personally, I have a hard time calling ANY administration that has looked the other way while hundreds of thousands of tech workers have lost their jobs "tech friendly".
