As far as I remember, Vice President Al Gore was part of the Clinton Administration in 1998, when the DMCA became the law of the land.

You can guarantee that your privacy and freedom would be just as perilously jeopardized with a Gore Administration in office. Republicans like oil and banks, Democrats go for talk shows and CD's. Just ask Tipper...she's always been fond of the recording industry. :)

Something to think about at the Democratic primary in 2004.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,3193844 Thu, 02 May 2002 18:29:43 EDT Re: I wonder http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,3188165 Jigsaw :

There is nothing wrong with speculation, so long as you don't say something like "Well if Gore was in charge this would not have happened" as if you know what would have happened.

In a nut Shell it don't matter who is in office we all know who really runs the show Its the ultra rich company's with there big money to give away to all there little ho's on Capitol Hill.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,3188165 Thu, 02 May 2002 00:31:56 EDT Re: I wonder http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,3187131 Siljanus : Gore in office probably wouldn't have made a difference. The RIAA gives money to both Republicans and Democrats. For example, Sen. Holling's "Consumer Broadband and Digital Television Promotion Act" was co-sponsored by a nice bipartisan cast of characters:

Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, John Breaux, D-La., Bill Nelson, D-Fla., and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.

So who says that Republicans and Democrats can't get along? Also, take a look at »www.opensecrets.org/ which breaks down quite nicely the political money trail.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,3187131 Wed, 01 May 2002 22:23:36 EDT Re: I wonder http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,3183745 rgoulet : "Republican" and "Democrat" are just words used to keep you from realizing that you don't really have a choice (I mean really, what is the difference??).

Greed doesn't have a political preference, and is happy to buy all of the politicians it can, regardless of party.

Whatever party your senator and representative belong too, make sure you remind them that their job still depends on you! ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,3183745 Wed, 01 May 2002 16:06:13 EDT Re: I wonder http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,3183560 sharkbyte0 :

HEY WAIT A MINUTE!!...didn't Al Gore invent the internet?!?!, hehe!, seriously though just another good thing trying to be stomped out in order to subsidize an obsolete, lethargic bunch of corporate dinosaurs. If my 80's hard rock/heavy metal stations are no longer around to listen to @ work, I will be pissed.

I just really feel that lately our privacy and freedom has been jeopardised and I wonder if there was a democratic administration in office would we still have these issues or at least issues as bad as this?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,3183302 Wed, 01 May 2002 15:13:03 EDT
