What else would you expect from a Democrat-controlled Senate?

Wait a minute...

Democrats were able to force Wednesday’s vote using an obscure legislative tool known as the Congressional Review Act (CRA).

It's NOT about Net Neutrality

It's about the ISSUE of Net Neutrality.

They voted for Obamacare.

So they’ll vote for Obamacare for the internet.

What could go wrong.

Take names and get them voted out. Names and phone numbers please for The Deplorables to send them a message 24/7.

McConnell says we never have the votes but the Dems always seem to have the votes for stuff they want. And he wants to take August off. McConnell needs to go.

Neutrality should be defined by the government staying out of it and letting providers and users work it out for themselves in the free market.

The imposition or reinstatement of governmental “neutrality” rules is the opposite of that.

Phony neutrality. This bill wouldn’t force Google, Facebook, Apple, etc., to stop discriminating against conservatives.

This is how you can tell the GOP still has RATS infiltrating the planning sessions.

Phony neutrality. This is nothing more than a fight between Silicon Valley internet users and the telecommunications companies, with Silicon Valley wanting to regulate the telecoms as if they were monopolistic public utilities. Actually, Google has more power over its market than Verizon.

Too little, too late: millions have already died from the repeal of net neutrality. At least that’s what they were telling us was going to happen...
