McCain Quote Is Similar to Herbert Hoover Quote | 29 comments
Proof that Republicans are better at BS. (4.00 / 1)
Internet pioneers have said many times that Gore was the first politician who paid attention to information technology, and he knew more about the internet in the decades before it was used by the public than John McCain does now.

Gore never actually said "I invented the internet."  That sentence originated from a Republican who mocked Gore for pointing out, rightfully, that he was instrumental in crafting the legislation that led to critical software innovations responsible for the wide use of the internet.  But he gets mocked for something he never said.

And yet McCain will certainly get away with an adviser saying he was instrumental in creating a foreign-devloped highly complex device for the purpose of streamlining a process that the vast majority of Americans--but not John McCain--go through every day.

Gore's incredible decades-early foresight should be observed with awe, but he was ridiculed for saying something he never said about his real leadership on the issue.

John McCain is negligent in his inability to comprehend even the most basic elements, the ones familiar to a vast majority of Americans, of a technology--and an entirely new field of law--that is redefining our world, but he will certainly get away with an adviser claiming he's a leader on the issue.
