A Democrat on the Federal Communications Commission wants to narrow the scope of new net neutrality rules that are set for a vote on Thursday, The Hill has learned.

[struggle]

Those are the rules Obama wrote, so no.

[a fool in paradise]

We have to pass the bill so we can find out what is in it. #TRANSPARENCY

[Red Badger]

You have to pass them so we can see what’s in them...............

[Blood of Tyrants]

Must be catching a heap of crap for their power grab.

[The Great RJ]

How can the FCC adopt 322 pages of rules without making those rules available for public comment? This is fascism at its best.

[Biggirl]

The Dems KNOW this will SEAL their election fate come 2016. They are now TOAST.

[telstar12.5]

one word:

Regulations

[Paladin2]

Uh, what are those new laws?

[abb]

That’s 3 no votes now. Motion fails.

Obama Dictatorship controlling the US through Regulations

[1010RD]

Someone in the democrat party realized that nobody under 50 wants the internet touched and that will leave the democrat party with only the black and illegal vote once the electorate gets totally pissed every-time they turn on a computer and remember the good ole days of computing before the Nazi's got control of it.

It would be an ongoing lost vote.

The young people, including the post-baby boomers, their children, BIGTIME LOVE their internet and this will for certain turn them against Obama.

This will cost the Dems BIGTIME.

As long as the rules classify the internet as a utility, it doesn’t matter what rules are written. They will just come back later and clamp down on conservatives with a new rule. They can micro-adjust the rules once it is a utility.

****

Nope. 20 million freshly minted voters who are functionally illiterate in English and Spanish will be pulling the La Raza vote for PIAPS.

The US Government is bound and determined to fix something that isn’t broken.
