, 16:02, January 19, 2012→Do you have a source for your claim that Lamar Smith is a RINO?: Notice how liberal Democrats have generally not dropped their support for the bad bill? Hollywood owns the Democrat Party,and
I haven't been able to find anything online that suggests he is. The American Conservative Union gave him a lifetime Career rating of 92, and he is an opponent of abortions, drugs, homosexuality and fiscal waste. It seems that claims of him being a RINO started when this bill became unpopular, so I have to guess that calling him that is the GOP's way of distancing themselves from him, but copyright isn't a liberal vs conservative issue, and his support of this bill is not evidence of liberal influence, but the influence of big money copyright holders on both sides of the political spectrum.[[User:RachelW|RachelW]] 10:41, 19 January 2012 (EST)

:Lamar Smith, like many congressmen, started out conservative but is increasingly liberal. Search on "Lamar Smith" and RINO and you'll quickly see many explanations of how liberal he is. Notice how liberal Democrats have generally not dropped their support for the bad bill? Hollywood owns the [[Democrat]] Party, and the bill is for Hollywood.
