My takeaway is that from here on out, nobody at the Republican Study Committee is going to publish anything but party propaganda for fear of losing their job.

- tptacek 14y agoYou're right, because that is more or less the purpose of the Republican Study Committee. Their core function is to take all the legislation proposed in the House and produce a summary that says whether any conservative action groups oppose it and whether the bill conforms to the ideology of conservative Republicans (no new taxes, no mandates on state governments, no increase in the scope of government). The idea that copyright reform was ever going to come out of the RSC is a bit of a fantasy.

- rayiner 14y agoTo be fair, half of what these "think tanks" publish is propaganda of one form of the other.
