There is no article linked. Did you happen to notice?

I guess your answer to my previous question is “no”?

I do not see anyone in DC offering a public referendum on net neutrality.

That’s nice. With so many liberal Republicans to vote for, would it be distinguishable from voting for a Democrat?

In the meantime, I suggest we send all the republicans little pink panties in the mail.

One size fits ALL.

Tinkerbell might strike him with her magic wand. More likely, I suppose, she would hand him another bourbon and branch..

The Dems and Pubbies have been on the same team for 100+ years, but regardless of that naive and uninformed people will insist otherwise.

Not in the OP.

Anyway, any alternate article telling a different story?

The NY times wrote this article so that we think the battle over net neutrality is over and so that we do not call Congress to urge them to take action to stop the FCC or net neutrality.

But the important thing is that we say Obama doesn’t love America and doesn’t believe in “American Exceptionalism” and doesn’t care about ebola ...

Hey, isn’t it time to introduce a new flag burning law?

The GOP plays the best fiddle since Nero.

While that may be so, the point still remains that the Republicans in the aggregate are gutless pussies. They have majorities in both houses. We still have O-Care, this, and an impending ban on M855 ammo rolling on, we’ll probably also see them approve Holders replacement.

It’s like they’re making a concerted effort to catch up to democrats in sucking at the helm of government.
