Interview With Senator John McCain
12 November Michael Arrington
Next in our series of talks with 2008 presidential candidates on their positions on key technology issues is Senator John McCain. McCain made no stipulations on what we talked about before the podcast, and our conversation sort of roamed over a number of important current events and issues. We’ll have the full transcript up on TechCrunch later this morning. We made deep dives on the recent Yahoo/China issue and H-1B visas, in particular.
Hear the Mitt Romney Podcast here. Next to be published is a written Q&A with John Edwards.

I think it’s a little hypocritical for many of these guys to talk smack about Google and Yahoo (mostly because it’s well known that these companies have overwhelmingly liberal employee bases). I don’t believe that you get the same kind of scrutiny over the fact that folks like Haliburton do significant amounts of business with countries like Iran using shell companies. I believe Google and Yahoo did make mistakes in China. Their political mistake was the level of transparency they were willing to provide…of course, that’s not a mistake; but the politicos will jump on that and ‘no good deed will go unpunished.” These are the same people who take money from tobacco, big pharma, and oil industries who’ve done many worse things behind closed doors. However, should a wide-eyed Internet company do the slightest thing wrong, they talk about the moral lapses of business. I don’t think this make a lot of sense.
