The members each threatened to limit the agency's funds or restrict its jurisdiction in the aftermath of the FCC’s vote,...

Skinning a cat with attitude!

"Less than an hour after the Federal Communications Commission approved net neutrality rules..."

Good on them.

[hattend]

Threaten?

Like it’s a bad thing?

[sam_paine]

C’mon now. Where’s all the GOP haters? Cmon? Where’s the “spineless” comments?

[LaineyDee]

President Barack Obama also backed the FCC, saying the decision is “an important component of our overall strategy

Nuff said......

[SandRat]

They better!!!!

[ProudFossil]

I am confused. Will someone please enlighten me why it is bad to force such carriers as Comcast to not censor the content of web sites they carry, i.e., refuse to carry the web sites? I can understand the furor over porn on the Internet but to ban some web site because of its political views or ethnic makeup or religious views or, etc., etc. does not make sense to me.

I can also understand shutting down web sites that steal property such as songs and stories. But much beyond that seems to be to be in realm of free speech and should not be discriminated against.

Am I reading the comments all wrong?

Thank you

They can threaten all they want. Until both houses of congress pass it, and 0bama signs it, or doesn’t and it becomes law - it don’t mean shinola.

???

Restrict freedom and create jobs...yeah that will work.

These people have no shame.

Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.)

FINALLY! God has smiled upon Oregon, and SENSE appears from this state I live in!

I need to go play the lottery.

Well, Boehner said he is going to do something about this.

Is it all hat and no cattle? You be the judge. I just don’t know.

The fact that they are GOP doesn’t make me feel a whole lot better.

I want actions that result in severe action, not just talk.

GOP lawmakers threaten to repeal Net neutrality”

I pray that they repeal this one. I could not believe my ears this morning listening to the radio. Last time govt. got involved in anything it was just a mess.

[Two Thirds Vote Aye]

There is no threatening. Do it!

[tobyhill]

They’ll do no such thing. They’ll pass some irrelevant crap that they’ll claim fixes the problem when the way to really fix the problem is stop funding the FCC until they yell mercy.

[dforest]

One more thing, how do you repeal something that was never made a law?

We ain’t stupid.

[Reagan is King]

Yea, there is a backbone in the Republican Party! Good for them and the American people want to see A LOT more of this next year. Drag those power hungry agency bureaucrats / tyrants before Congress and slash their budgets so they can’t do as much damage.

[dforest]

One more thing, how do you repeal something that was never made a law? I would suggest arresting and taking those who participate in defying the Constitution to be tried and made to pay a price.

[Infidel Heather]

YAY!

GETTING SOME BACKBONE!!!

The members each threatened to limit the agency's funds

Cut those funds to the bone and make them reverse this decision.

[YankeeReb]

The members each threatened to limit the agency's funds or restrict its jurisdiction in the aftermath of the FCC’s vote, with Boehner proclaiming the "new House majority will work to reverse this unnecessary and harmful federal government power grab next year."

Sounds great, but the GOP is always great with the tough talk. Let's see what happens when they get control of the House and media attention is onto the next story. My prediction is they'll do nothing and hope the public forgets.
