It may be GOP's wish as a collective, but I have more respect for the 28 republicans who voted against it while 42 democrat idiots voted for it. The final roll call by party:
Republicans: 206 (Yes), 28 (No)
Democrats: 42 (Yes), 140 (No)
So, this bill had support of 88% of the republicans and 23% of the democrats in the house.
While I haven't studied the issue up close, on the surface I am more inclined to go with the voluntary measures versus another layer of bureacracy at DHS (if have to go with the legislation at all).
I was expecting you did instead of another shot in the dark, after the first argument you made in this thread. Quote:
"The House version and the Senate version are diametrically opposed. The Senate version wants DHS to set the standards and provide the monitoring.....the House version wants corporations and governments to act voluntarily to report cyber attacks.
In other words, Democrats want bigger government.....Republicans want smaller government and less regulations on business. That's the overarching challenge of our time. "

Let us stick with the version that passed. Since this one got an overwhelming support by the republicans, it must be the republican version. What do you think of it?

This one has overwhelmingly republican support.
PS. I think this article makes a pretty good starting point for the discussion.

I am independent, but if you must know, the YEA votes were 42 Democrats and 206 Republicans.
"The US House of Representatives has just passed the controversial Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, or CISPA (HR 3523) by a vote of 248 to 168."

This is a real stretch and a focus on the wrong things imo. Both suck.
The totalitarian state is being formed all around us. Most people are blind to see it. Vote Republican or Democrat. It matters not. They are one in the same and leading us directly into hell.

Basically it says the 4th Amendment does not apply online, at all.
