"It's S. 3804, the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA), introduced by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT)."

Everyone who has such a boner for bipartisanship should read and reread that sentence until their eyes bleed.

At least we can be unified in our disdain for this bill, huh?

 

Hopefully if this gets to the House, all these new tea partiers will show their merit in stopping big government and standing up for the little guy ;)

Don't count on the tea party being for the little guy.  It would be interesting to see how tea party congressman's vote on matters where it is big business vs. individual citizens.  We know the supreme court is in big businesses back pocket.

I dunno.  Seems like a pretty safe bet honestly.

The GOP wants them dead, the Democrats want them dead.

There aren't enough buisness interests that could save them.

Grass roots politicians always go one of two ways

1) They get integrated

2) Their party tries to destroy and they succeed by keeping up popularity back home for a while... but eventually get destroyed.

Like that guy in PA who switched from Democrat to Republican and back to Democrat only to get defeated in the primaries causing the Democrats to let Toomey get in.
