I would be careful about vilifying Lamar Smith in the way we did with GoDaddy. Politicians have to create laws based on the problems that people point out to them, and it's unfair to expect them to be experts in any of them. So while I know very little about SOPA and Smith's role in it, I wouldn't automatically leap to saying that Smith is a bad guy, and I certainly wouldn't be vilifying Google for contributing to his campaign.

GoDaddy is different though - they have a long history of scummy actions, and this is merely the straw that broke the camel's back.
