Betting a lot of them will simply use it to download music or movies.

Porn. Don't forget the porn!

DEMOCRAT/STEALTH-COMMUNIST SENATOR CLINTON attempts to buy tens of thousands of votes with gov't paid housing, computers & internet access

[N. Theknow]

A Constitutional Right-to-Cruise.

[edcoil]

I am thinking more mis-spellings are coming to the internet.

[patton]

I wonder if Hillary! can get electricity wired to my house in NY? We use a coleman lantern, because there is no power.

[jackieaxe]

I don't have a friggin helicopter because I can't afford one. Where is my government handout? I want my helicopter - NOW! waaah waaah, waaah.

Heh tumbleweed, if the tax burden was about 5%, which would be enough for the DOD, you could afford your helicopter. Don't hold your breath though, I mean IT TAKES A VILLAGE and its the government's money anyway.

[rmmcdaniell]

I think the reason everyone on this thread is so angry, is because deep down they know dubya will sign off on it.

With a Republican congress and president we shouldn't even have to worry about stuff like this.

[The Red Zone]

And your computer done work on kerosene.

[bird4four4]

Why bother work. Hillary will build us a house, with high speed internet access, free food, free heat, free health care. And like the sap that I am I've been paying for this stuff the whole time.

[The Red Zone]

Well maybe I'm missing it, but I don't see Congress anywhere in this story. It SOUNDS like one huge charitable foundation. If so, then hurrah for Hillary! since this is the way this sort of stuff should work. If this depends on handouts from Congress, however, depend on it to die as Republicans give it the cold shoulder in overwhelming numbers. Bush will never see the bill.

[patton]

No, I own a 230-acre farm in ny - completely landlocked, no power, no lights, no electricity, not a single luxury.

I don't live there - I live in my house in VA. Well, sometimes - usually, I live in a Hilton in NM.

But hey, run broadband to the poor. Just don't make me pay for it.

Nothing new here. Just more ot that It Takes a Village nonsense.

[Mcirrus]

Now I can file for welfare in the comfort of my own taxpayer subsidized home. I'll only have to leave to get booze, crack, and cigs! Yay!

And Hil, while you're at it, can you install cable too? I'll never be able to escape poverty without cable. I'd like a spa and a boflex too, so I can feel good about myself. Maybe I'll feel so good that I'll think about getting a job or an education or something.

/sarcasm

This is a prime example of social marxism

[Jazzman1]

they'll ALL look like the projects in the Bronx when Hillary's 'people' get done with 'em!

[IamConservative]

Looks like a Government subsidized pornography program to me.

I would prefer to see the government invest in accelerating deployment of EVDO metropolitan wireless networks.

[princess leah]

If Hillary had her way, Big Sister would make sure that your internet service not only got taxed, but monitored and sites like Free Republic would be shut down under her administration!

Undoubtedly, but as long as they can keep it from blowing up in their faces until after the election in 2008, they will be more than satisfied.

Whoever came up with this one has probably found a net vote-winner in this project --- unless this somehow occasions a scandal (and that is not unlikely with the Clintons, who have disgraced everything they have been involved in that I can remember), and the MSM are willing to report on it before the election (if memory from a decade ago serves, people in the press knew about Whitewater but didn't bother to report it until after they had Clinton elected.)

[rattrap]

$1 Billion pledged to make the internet even dumber, awesome!

This one bears repeating!!!!!!
