Rather than go around and around with Leftists, I pose this simple construct to them.
There are two kinds of people in the world. The ones who just want to be left alone to live their lives and pursue their dreams, and the meddling busybodies who can’t abide freedom and constantly interfere. Which are you?
If our side knew squat about how to frame a debate, Blackburn would say something like this: “What the FCC and the government wants to do is take away your I-phone! They can’t stand not being able to control communications.”
But she won’t do that.
This one has me really torn. net-neutrality IS the way to ensure simplicity for the end user. Too bad it’s in the domain of the FCC.
For those here who just see the FCC and say net-neutrality is bad, I hope you enjoy your multi-tier pricing scheme where you can’t stream netflix video nor expect anything of appreciable size to download uninterrupted without the top-tier package which will cost you 2-3X what you are paying now.
The mind boggles at all the BS Verizon, AT&T, qwest, etc... are going to charge you to do what you already do today for a one simple bill.
Defund it.
Good girl doing what her corporate masters tell her.
Verizon was her #3 contributor. Comcast was tied for #4.

Less government means more freedom, whether it’s freedom for companies to compete for customers or freedom for websites to contain the content they choose. Anything else is the government seeking more control of our lives.
What would really impress me is to hear Rep. Marsha Blackburn speak while the CEO and Board of Directors of Comcast and AT&T all drink a glass of water.
Republicans should put a rider amendment on the Bill to de-fund NPR, PBS, BET, etc., and also the NEA, EPA, FCC, and all Czar positions.
Great. Now we have government protecting us from government protecting us from evil corporations. I wish they’d go all to fly a kite and leave us alone so we’re able to work in peace.
PING!
It’s not going to go anywhere. Obama still has the veto..
