PIPA, the Senate version of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), is being sponsored by Vermont Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy and pushed by Reid as a “job creator.”
The bills would ostensibly crack down on online copyright infringement, but critics contend that the legislation would also challenge free speech and the ability of large websites to function.
Texas Republican Rep. Lamar Smith, the sponsor of SOPA, announced Tuesday that the bill would continue to undergo markup in the House Judiciary Committee, which he chairs, in February.

You have been talking to Unimatrix to much. The Paul's are the least pandering Politicians in Washington. I mean you either agree with them or you don't, but they are not going to change their positions based on polls or Lobbyists like most politicians.

Surely you don't believe the crap you are saying... And no, I seldom talk with Unimatrix, even though of course she is absolutely right. The Pauls are the most pandering politicians of all, as anyone with even only two functional brain cells to rub together knows.

May I ask "your" definition of pandering? I think we are talking about different words.

In this particular instance I define it as catering to special interests without any principles, such as a politician who says to whatever group he/she is addressing just what they want to hear to win their support, contributions, or favors.

Well my friend if you really believe that Dr. Paul does this then you have indeed been talking to unimatreix too much instead of doing your homework. The "ONLY" major issue I can think of that Dr. Paul has changed his position on in his 35 years of public service is the Dearth Penalty. I would like to know of others if you can site them. Dr. Paul has been accused of MANY things on Current, but NEVER a pandering flip-flopper.

It is not a question of beliefs, it is simply a matter of fact. But of course, the profoundly hypnotized and fooled Ron Paul & son worshipers, facts have no impact on their grey matter.

Everything you have stated thus far has been "your" opinion. What are the empirical facts to back them up?
