As we reported earlier, all four candidates in last night’s GOP debate in South Carolina stated their opposition to SOPA. Ron Paul pointed out that he had always been against it and waiting for the others to catch up. Newt said he ‘favors freedom’. Romney agreed. Santorum doesn’t like SOPA, as is, but still thinks that government should regulate the content of the Internet. I wonder why?
Here’s how the Twitterverse responded to this rash of nods from all four remaining GOP candidates.
Dear, Congress: You finally got all the #GOP candidates to agree during this @CNN debate — against you. Ouch. #SOPA #PIPA.
SOPA: GOP Candidates All Agree #WebProNews http://t.co/dLozvF2e
Pretty pumped to hear the GOP Debate Crowd boo #SOPA and 3 of the candidates equate further legislation with a loss of freedom
RT @JBrodkin: sweet RT @arstechnica: At GOP debate, all four candidates oppose SOPA http://t.co/Dslu0Bbi Me: They got 1 right!
Back from Twitterjail, wondered why I stayed up so late watching this debate but the SOPA round was worth it: it is now toxic to the GOP
Ron Paul: I was one of the first to sign up against #SOPA. The GOP has been on the wrong side of the issue; these guys are playing catch-up.
Newt on SOPA—You’re asking a conservative about the interests of Hollywood #tcot #teacyber #gop #cnndebate
#SOPA question was just asked at the CNN GOP Debate – everyone except Santorum surprisingly gave a non-douchey answer.
