Comment on Richard Mack, the Republican challenger to SOPA's author

Comments

Promising interview, but then he quickly devolves into the typical soundbites and catchphrases popular in politics (e.g., tax, borrow and spend, borrow from china, big government, big brother, moderate Republican) and doesn't really say much as a result.

Yeah, that's the feeling that I got also. Although given the financial backing of his opposition, perhaps he feels that he needs to assault Lamar Smith on any occasion that he can.

Also, it seems like his main audience is other Republicans, who will understand and be concerned about what he means by those criticisms. To a Republican the interview is informative, but to non-Republicans it's probably off-putting.
