    This is how shit gets done. No one wants for their competition in the upcoming election to use how they voted against something to protect children from pedophiles.

    very hypocritical if you ask me,coming from people who "fight" these kinds of things to be using EXACTLY the same tactics using context to cover their asses.

    It's what the government does best. Sneaking things into bills has been done since practically the creation of this country. Probably well before that as well in various forms too.

    when its voting time, I know exactly who im voting for.
    Oh, really? So you registered to vote in the republican primaries?

    Ron Paul is not going to magically take the nomination away from the party base, esp. when his supporters didn't bother to register.

    Alot of this has probably got to do with the US gov trying to get back power they once had, the US used to be a big world super power but now people laugh at them i suppose this could be considered a attempted come back

    You're funny. Leaving aside the question of superpower status (which we disagree on, but is irrelevant), this is a matter of domestic politics as far as Congress is concerned. The cause that you're ascribing to this is fundamentally a matter of foreign policy, which is entirely different. At the most, the U.S. Government is using foreign policy as it pertains to this (pressure on other governments to bring copyright laws into line with US standards, extradition of British nationals based on acts of piracy committed internationally, etc.) primarily as a lever to effect further domestic policy and control, which is a sphere in which they have traditionally had less influence (and the states/federal argument begins...). As for SOPA and PIPA themselves, they're fundamentally domestic policy, in the same way as the Great Firewall of China and Australian policies to a similar effect.
