Sites GO DARK

THE NEWS   , MYCHILLER LIFE and Tech on Croglog 

  

  Today, many websites are protesting bills up for vote in the congress, SOPA (Stop Online Piracy act ) ,and PIPA (Protect IP Act) , that the media industry says will stop piracy, but many websites say that parts of these bills  would cause censorship, because it would allow the government to shutdown websites that have any connection to pirated materiel. Sites  like english Wikipedia and reddit have shutdown for today , and others like Google have blacked out their logos.  

  The MPAA( The Motion Pictures association of America) says that this law is needed to stop content from being stolen. 

   Chris Dodd, the Chairman (and former senator , for full disclosure), said  about the blackouts 

   "an abuse of power given the freedoms these companies enjoy in the marketplace today. It's a dangerous and troubling development when the platforms that serve as gateways to information intentionally skew the facts to incite their users in order to further their corporate interests."

What South Carolina means for each Candidate

CHOICE2012    SOUTH CAROLINA WATCH 
By Kathy Walker
  January 21st ,is the South Carolina Primaries and as the Republicans are still trying to figure out their nominee , he are my projections of what the  primary means to each candidate.
    Mitt Romney , After winning   Iowa and New Hampshire , South Carolina could mean he is very close to locking up the nomination .
  Rick Perry ,Really the beginning of the end was in the beginning with Iowa, not placing even 3rd  will mean the end of  his chances, though we don't honestly know when he'll get out.
 Rick Santorum ,His Iowa placing ,really didn't help in New Hampshire , except that he did get fourth   but with South Carolina's strong  Christian base he could get a strong following. Though not placing anything higher than 3rd will not help him move on and it could be the end.
 Ron Paul ,He is the surprise of this so far he took 3rd in Iowa, 2nd in New Hampshire he has a strong following , he attracts the young and new voters. His populist message could help him get to a top spot placing once again. He also has money to run on ,and  the will to fight.
Jon Huntsman , I always wonder why some candidates try a one state strategy ,placing their bets on one state, Huntsman did that with New Hampshire , and came in 3rd. He needs to get some top spots in  South Carolina and Flordia so he can the money to run on but otherwise he is done if he doesn't get at least 3rd.

[9:11pm By Kathy] Huntsman talks about his record, Romney says nice things about Huntsman
[9:12pm BY Kathy] Santorum
[9:13 by Skyler]  Huntsman didn't really go to an attack, Satorum versus Paul looks to be the line tonight , and  so far no Perry talk who we haven're really seen.
[9:14 by Kathy} To point it seems Santorum and Paul are fighting for second
[9:15pmby Skyler] There's perry see him way down there
[9:16pm by Skyler]  Ron Paul says he voted against the spending  calls Santorum a big government person
[9:17pm by Kathy] Santorum  says Paul votes against everything
[9:18pm by Skyler]  Perry now talking... and uses Santorum and Paul back and forth as away to say he's an outsider
[9:18pm by Kathy] Perry gives old line
[9:18pm by Skyler] Perry and Paul don't like each other much anyway they both are in Texas
[9:19pm by Skyler] Notice that paul goes back to Santorum]
[9:20pm Kathy] Rick Perry who?
[9:21pm by Skyler]  Huntsman also does the outsider  thing , governors like being outside
[9:21pm by Kathy] Massachusetts means Romney
[9:22pm by Kathy]  Diane Sawyer that was a dumb follow-up question
[9:22pm by Skyler]  Romney diverts and says Huntsman does better job than Obama does, in other words he's just wants to run against Obama
[9:24pm by Kathy]  Romney and Huntsman don't attack , and Santorum and Paul do and Perry and Gingrich are really not there
[9:24pm by Skyler]  Paul and Perry Question
[9:24pm by Skyler]  Perry goes to talk about Obama and defense budget
[9:26pm by Kathy]  Gingrich and a question about Paul calling him a "Chicken Hawk'
[9:26pm by Kathy]  Gingrich doesn't really attack Paul as the ABC news people wanted him to do he instead says that's Paul's style
[9:27pm by Skyler] RonPaul always stands by comments ... Diane
[9:28pm by Kathy] Paul calls the war un declared wars.... he says people who haven't served shouldn't send men away
[9:29pm by Skyler] Gingrich has a mad tone
[9:30pm by Skyler}  Paul says no excuse to Gingrich
[9:31pm by Kathy]  Paul calls Martian Luther King Libertarians and calls the judical system racists
[9:31pm by Kathy]  Drug laws are racist  says Paul
 commerical break on tv
[9:33pm by Skyler] Romney and Huntsman really got through this with out  attacking , you can see Perry and Gingrich just holding for life
[9:34pm by Kathy]  Paul is trying to attract independents ,which is better for New Hampshire
[9:36pm by Skyler]  Seems attacks on Romney slide of him as well , he doesn't bite the bait ... as to say
[9:38pm by Kathy]  To Romney : Do states have right to ban controspection? he says  he can't imagine it ...
[9:39pm by Kathy] good job Romney helping Paul there...
[9:40pm by Skyler]  Romney ditched the question it was a yes or n
[9:41pm by Skyler] Paul answered the question
[9:42pm by Kathy]  I wonder why Yes or no is never good enough
[9:44pm by Skyler] Gingrich on gay marriage : says no to it but should be allowed for couples to visit in hospital and wills.
[9:45pm by Kathy] Huntsman's line about controspection. he thinks Civil unions are fair
[9:46pm by Kathy]  Same Sex adoption to Santorum... states should make decision on marriage
[9:47pm by Skyler] Why a gay marriage question ...no economic questions ?
[9:48pm by Kathy] Diane they are not sitting in the living room , do you need some water?
[9:48pm by Kathy] Skyler, true it's been about 38 minutes with out a question on the economy
[9:49pm by Skyler]  Gingrich now going out the media,
[9:51pm by Kathy] Good for Newt
[9:52PM by Skyler ] They ask if Ron Paul is running as an independant
[9:53pm by Kathy]  Paul: Cathing up on Mitt
[9:54pm by Kathy] They all say that the others are better than the Current President , they have one thing united about them, that means the media is wrong
[9:54pm by Skyler]  Huntsman : Draw down Afgan war around 2013 or 14,
[9:55pm by Kathy] Romney : see what happens and ASAP
[9:56pm by Skyler] That would be ASAWC,, Huntsman says listening to commanders all the time dosen't work , and  civil war could hit Afghanistan . cheering in audience
[9:57pm by Kathy] Gingrich says the whole region is screwed up
[9:58pm by Kathy]  Ok, ABC is doing this wrong ... if the main issue is the economy  what the heck are they talking about the middle east for.
[9:59pm by Skyler] ABC NEWS is wanting to show a split on war instead of the economy , and now they Perry wants back in Iraq
[10:00pm by Kathy] Perry wants troops back in Iraq , really now?
[10:01pm by Skyler] Gingrich says focus on domestic energy
[10:02pm by Kathy] Diane Sawyer is irritating me right now ,   and Perry is done for now that's just my opinion
[10:03pm by Skyler] ABC wants to play up Ron Paul to seem crazy. Paul says congress never declared war.
[10:04pm by Kathy]  Paul: Sanctions cause war.
[10:05pm by Skyler]  Santorum goes after Obama on the 2009 Iran Elections.
[10:06pm by Skyler] Break time
[10:08pm by Kathy] ABC News played this part stupidly. Perry is done for now , sending troops back to Iraq shouldn't have been said
[10:08pm by Skyler] Newt is holding well
[10:11pm by Kathy] Economy please?
[10:12pm by Kathy] Jobs time
[10:13pm by Skyler] Inferstructure question to Romney:   Government is in way of getting jobs. still didn't answer question

[10:16pm by Kathy] Huntsman:  change tax code
[10:17pm by Kathy]  Santourm wants manufacturing back
[10:18pm by Skyler]  See here, is where they agree mostly with each other
[10:18pm by Kathy]  Regulations and high taxes cause bad economy is what they are saying
[10:19pm by Skyler]  Romney: help the middle class
[10:20pm by Kathy]  Santorum has a poplist message that's what helped him be a Penn. Senator

[10:29pm by Skyler] Santorum says  Obama and dems. is using class system to divde saying there's no classes
[10:30pm by Kathy] Romney  the president did make at least 2 trade deals  to correct you there sir

[10:31pm by Skyler]  Huntsman : you can't slap taffifs on China on day one.
