He doesn't seem to have an understanding of what they talk about and according this video which we put here recently, he is likely to appoint pro-software patents figures/lobbyists as advisors. Some of these issues were also discussed in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].

Well, If McCain wins, I think software patents may well become a smaller problem. We'll all have so much more to worry about ... :)

Looking at that video, will McCain change anything at all if he gets into office? I mean will he help the country or help destroy the country. You Americans need a leader that is not evil (i.e Bush), and will actually lead you to a better economy, fix the IP system and help prevent government corruption. Your best chance at doing that is with Obama.

Watching this, I was expecting him to give some complicated answer about software patents that showed he knew nothing about them. I wasn't expecting a flat out NO! Wow, that guy would be a great leader... :D
"It means a situation in which somebody accuses someone else of a fault which the accuser shares, and therefore is an example of psychological projection, or hypocrisy. Use of the expression to discredit or deflect a claim of wrongdoing by attacking the originator of the claim for their own similar behaviour (rather than acknowledging the guilt of both) is the tu quoque logical fallacy."
