The Republican resistance in Congress surrendered to President Obamas call to protect an open Internet, with rules likely to be approved by regulators on Thursday.

The NY Slimes’ report is still independent of the actions of the RINOs. Unless you’ve got an alternate report showing them standing firm against net neutrality?
Nobody’s going to stop me from voting. But when it’s for liberals, that gets the country deeper into the mire.
Goodbye, free internet. It was nice knowing ya.
PING!
Neutrality.
If you think it matters whether you vote Democrat or Republican anymore after just what has happened in the last few months, much less the last few years, then you my FRiend are living in Candyland.
We tell them with our votes and they refuse to listen. what next?
**The Uniparty has been very successful in staging these R vs D matchups that keep us diverted from figuring out they are working together.**
Preach on it!! You speak TRUTH! You all better let this sink in and wake up!
Actually, it would have to go to Conference or be returned to the House and Boehner might just show some spine. Which cup hides the pea?
You know that doesn’t matter at all. Voting or not voting makes not a bit of difference to anything. We only get to choose which men will represent the billionaires and the major corporations in Congress.
Phuk ‘em. I’m done.
McConnell didn’t “wuss out!” This was purposeful! I like Mark Levin I really do, but he needs to wake the hell up, too.
I too am very disappointed with the GOP, but much of the blame for their failures is with the feckless leadership of Boehner and Mc Connell. I’m stocking up with batteries for my old shortwave radio in hope of getting uncensored news from beyond the Obama curtain
Nope, I’m being controlled by the spineless GOP. I vote for them each election and yet they vote along Dem lines. I’m tired of wasting my time voting for a group of people that refuse to vote what their electorate want. Time after time they kowtow to the left ... this is not what I vote for nor is it what conservatives want.
Like I said ... why bother, the left will win anyway.
Win anyway you say, yes, because our gonadless, spineless cowards know as our elected officials are scared to death of loosing their cushy positions and large paychecks.
Screw them all ... one less vote for anyone.
Flapping my arms or holding an umbrella when I fall off a cliff may give me the illusion of control or slightly delay the outcome but the result will be the same.
We’ve been sold out. If anyone wants to throw their support behind that capitulating cuckold in the senate or our weepy leader in the house, have at it
My vote and consent will be absent.
Its far worse than that. By funding this madness— the congress RATIFIES IT!!. The DOJ then argues “ they waived objection and funded it!! Please someone hear me. Are these elected officials so stupid that they don’t know the “doctrine of ratification” ? This is like a night mare only we are not asleep. McConnell is a traitor. Is Boehner?
He knows.
What did we tell them with our votes? We told them it doesn’t matter what they do in Washington, when it is reelection time enough of us will hold our noses and send them back. How many disappointing rinos got reelected? How many censures did Graham chaulk up, but he is back in DC. The Republican in Mississippi bought Democrat votes so he could win his primary, and yet the stupid voters in that state sent reelected him.
Truth is, this is the reason so many promising conservatives flip when they get to Washington. They are quickly schooled on how little they are held accountable. All they have to do is sound like a conservative during the election cycle, and the people who register Republican, will vote for the R.
What would induce Boehner to get a spine implanted at this juncture? He could have stood firm against fully funding Obamacare before last year was out after all, just for one example.
We know what is next, unfortunately. We are not yet ready, but the time is growing nearer.
Gun Control has died and The People sure aren't falling for it anytime soon.
But has their been ANYTHING else?
It's almost like most of the GOP and Dems are a Unified Party or Something....
A Uniparty.
Or as I like to say "Socialist Unity of Germany America"
Somebody beat you to it 40 years ago :(
