Politicians are bad enough

But Democrats can’t even support bloggers.

Democrats on Wednesday managed to defeat a bill aimed at amending U.S. election laws to immunize bloggers from hundreds of pages of federal regulations.

In an acrimonious debate that broke largely along party lines, more than three-quarters of congressional Democrats voted to oppose the reform bill, which had enjoyed wide support from online activists and Web commentators worried about having to comply with a tangled skein of rules.

The vote tally in the House of Representatives, 225 to 182, was not enough to send the Online Freedom of Speech Act to the Senate. Under the rules that House leaders adopted to accelerate the process, a two-thirds supermajority was required.

“I’m horribly disappointed that this important measure failed to pass,” said Rep. Mark Kennedy, R-Minn. “This bill was designed to protect the free-speech rights of Americans whose only alleged crime is wanting to use the Internet to express their opinions.”

Oh yeah, its always those Democrats who are fighting for free speech.

Bastards, every single frickin’ one of ‘em!

Whats really funny is watching all the idiots over on slashdot go on and on about how confused they are, since it’s supposed to be the eeeeevil republicans seeking to clamp down on free speech. Then you have their apologists on there trying to say it was “a bad bill” and the only thing to do was vote against… blah blah blah.

Democrat interests OWN almost all mass media. Bloggers are breaking through this stranglehold that the DNC and liberals have, so they are fighting true freedom of speech tooth and nail.
