John McCain Figured Out How to Post His Technology Policy on the Internet!

POSTED BY: Mary Phillips-Sandy

I kid, I kid. I'm sure he had an intern do it for him. Nevertheless, John McCain has a technology policy, and it's up on his website right now

Transformative information and communications technologies permeate every aspect of our daily lives [unless we are John McCain].

In the last decade, there has been an explosion in the ways Americans [except John McCain] communicate with family, friends, and business partners; shop and connect with global markets; educate themselves; become more engaged politically [not so much with John McCain]; and consume and even create entertainment [okay, John McCain did give us this].

America has led the world into this technology revolution because we have allowed innovation to take root, grow, and prosper… John McCain is uniquely qualified to lead our nation during this technological revolution [because email is still so new and exciting to him].

In outlining his policy, McCain reiterated his opposition to net neutrality, a hot-button issue for many bloggers and technology advocates…

John McCain does not believe in prescriptive regulation like "net-neutrality," but rather he believes that an open marketplace with a variety of consumer choices is the best deterrent against unfair practices.

He also believes that if you put the internet in neutral, it'll stall.

  1. Your comment is misinformed. Obama’s platform is fine to help underprivleged because it simply makes the internet accessible. But what about the people who make the technology? Who do you think pays for that? Who do you think created environments that enabled technology to thrive? Investors! Those “wealthy” people who you, Obama and others seem to think should be taxed to death for putting up capital and taking risk to create things and support entreprenuers.

    But then again, I suppose you might be the type of person who thinks we should take academic scholarships away from smart kids in high school and give it to crack heads and welfare moms……that would evel the playing field, woudnt it.

    So go ahead and support Obama who wants to increase the capital gains tax, who wants to quash and disincentivize the very people who take risks to invest their money and time in innovation and entrepreneurship.

    Pretty soon the playing field sure will be leveled just like it was done in Russia under Vladimir Lenin. …taking all society to the lowest common denominator.

    So don't be surprised under Obama if there is no longer capital to help fund your internet websites and blogs etc…

  2. –John McCain is uniquely qualified to lead our nation during this technological revolution–

    Hmm. Apart from the fact that not even Bill O`Reilly would dare say this sentence out loud, I have 2 points:

    1) HaHaHaHaHaHaHa!

    2) Oh, the irony of ÙNIQUELY QUALIFIED.
