Not content with the total bias and domination of the news networks, CNN, and the nation's leading newspapers, the Democrats on the Federal Election Commission have moved to assert federal control over Internet political speech. Claiming the authority to regulate political postings and blogs as independent campaign expenditures, they want to apply federal campaign finance laws to online voices.
According to the Washington Examiner, the three Democrats on the FEC moved at the Oct. 24 meeting to impose "burdensome new rules on Internet-based campaigning."
The three Republican members on the commission beat back the measure, warning the proposal would regulate "online political sites and even news media like the Drudge Report."
Saying that "a re-examination of the commission's approach to the Internet and other emerging technologies is long overdue," Ann M. Ravel, the Democratic vice-chair of the FEC, said she would begin a campaign for Internet regulation.

Sorry, but I just don’t buy that dick Morris really cares about any of the things he writes about.
Phew...for second I thought it was going to be a Dick Morris prediction of GOP landslide next Tuesday.
Dick Morris cares about paydays.
it’s hard to believe anything but.
After decades of so-called “common sense gun control” — the Left is moving on the “common sense” speech control.
The first amendment was meant to protect political speech, the left really hates that people are allowed to voice opinions they don’t like.
Please, pubbies and dummocrats both are against the American people.
They work for globalist financial elites who hate people and want to wipe out a few billion of them, and control, enslave and profit from the rest, from cradle to grave.
Pubbies and Dummocrats do exactly what their globalist masters want them to do.
There’s no brain there, just a puppet with a globalist hand up its puppet chute.
What the Government can’t control, the Government will try to destroy.
Thanks forthe warning, Dick....but what are you... a Dem or a Rino?
The toe sucking mercenary has spoken.
Typical Republican idiots. They should have mentioned the HuffPo, DU, and other Marxist fora.
Something is up. I keep getting the Microsoft Internet 8.1 message wanting to load. I keep telling it no, remind me later. Finally it comes up and gives me load it now, 2, 4, 6 hours later. I could not get rid of it. I had to turn off my computer to get it off my screen. It would not let me go on, only make the now, 2, 4, 6 hours from now to load it. This morning as I turned on my computer, it just loaded it whether I wanted it or not. It took NEARLY THREE HOURS to load all this crap. I could not use it till then. It has slowed my computer. It has done something to my computer. Probably loaded the dimocrat one world government crap to see everything I type and do. Microsoft has decided you will get what they want me to have on my computer. Seems we have no choice any more. They load it whether you like it or not.
And toes.
Bill’s boys are getting more and more arrogant.
Locating a Win Seven disc, or even XP, and loading that, would send the right feedback.
You can bet there was some big money on the table.
M$ having a big “rightsizing” (/off Orwell) pretty soon?
The next GOP President should appoint members of the Conservative Party of New York to any RAT vacancies on the commission, ignoring the spirit but not the letter of the law.
