Hillary Clinton Continues Support For Game Legislation
Democratic presidential candidate frontrunner Sen. Hillary Clinton recently responded to Common Sense Media's survey on media issues, and more specifically, video game legislation. Sen. Clinton is no stranger to gaming law, having introduced the ultimately defeated Family Entertainment Protection act in 2005. Here is a small excerpt from a great read over at GamePolitics:
CSM:To date, nearly 10 states have considered legislation to keep violent video games out of kids’ hands. Would you support this type of legislation at the federal level? What other strategies would you support to keep the video game industry and other media companies from marketing and selling inappropriate content to children?

Goddamnit. This is exactly why I can't support Hillary. She'll do nothing to repair all the harm that the current administration has done (harm that she helped it to do, I might add), and she'll push her bullshit "concerned parent" censorship agenda.
I have to agree with Dennis on this one. While I would much rather have her than any Republican I can think of, many of her positions are still bothersome to me.
Yup, I gotta agree, as well. She's basically Bush, but smart; high and mighty with her values but lacking any clear-minded politics. She wants to determine our values for us and that's bullshit.
