  1. A repeat of history by btarval · · Score: 1 · on Is Cheap Broadband UnAmerican?
    This reminds me of that well-known (mis)quote "What's good for General Motors is good for the country". This was when GM was lobbying to force people to buy cars, rather than fund public transportation.

    Adding fuel to the stupidity fire. How do you figure we lose "this big"? We won the last election and it was stolen from us. We lost this one by about 1 state... not exactly big, and not exactly consistent either. This must be another example of Republican math...
