CNET sucks: Ohio Republican politico courts tech vote

[IChing]

I've seen this guys stuff before and it's totally in the Repug's view
but he also gets a rss feed from Cnet.

A little from CNET:
Tom Brinkman wants your support next Tuesday. It would probably help if you live in Ohio's second congressional district, centered around Cincinnati, and are eligible to vote in next week's primary election.

Brinkman, a Republican state representative, is an unabashed fan of small government, low taxes, and reduced federal spending. He's an equally strident foe of abortion and has introduced a bill to ban them (in hopes of prompting the U.S. Supreme Court to revisit Roe v. Wade and overturn it).

Tuesday's special election is the first step toward filling a congressional seat left vacant after Rep. Rob Portman was appointed U.S. Trade Representative. Brinkman has an uphill fight: he's up against a crowded pack that includes Pat DeWine, son of Ohio Sen. Mike DeWine.

1. Yeah he caught me offguard the first time.

You expect a tech site to be more liberal for some reason. they are lame anyway!

Please do not support him because of his views on technology. Because you aren't from the greater Cincinnati area, you don't realize that he is the worst kind of radical ultrarightwing fanatic politician. Your interview shows what a mishmash his views are. On one hand he talks about civil liberties and individual liberty while simultaneously introducing a bill which would outlaw all abortion -- even in cases of rape or harm to the health or life of the mother. I notice he didn't mention in the interview just how extreme his bill was.

I think CNET has been around for a long time
I get good tech advise sometimes and will still use them
as one source
but this guy has got to go

he only reports the right's side only,
