Senator Diane Feinstein Trying to Kill Net Neutrality

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wonder-what-the-payoff-was dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to the Register, Senator Diane Feinstein is attempting to put language into the stimulus bill that would kill net neutrality. The amendment that her provision was attached to was withdrawn, but lobbyists tell Public Knowledge that Feinstein hopes to put it back into the bill during the closed-door conference committee that reconciles the House and Senate versions." Bad Senator! No Cookie!

    My favorite was all the whining I heard from the far-left when Bush was selling the TARP plan by telling us how society was going to collapse if we didn't pass it

    1. Go see a nice doctor in North Korea about that anal obstruction you have. Once he's done removing your head from your ass, you can take a good look around and see what "far left" really looks like.
    2. This was a REPUBLICAN plan, made by a REPUBLICAN Secretary of Treasury and a REPUBLICAN chair of the Fed, and heavily pushed by a REPUBLICAN president. That Republicans in the south decided to let Democrats and a lame duck president take the fall if TARP was a failure does nothing to change the fact that TARP was a REPUBLICAN idea.

    I'm glad that Obama is above such fear-mongering to pass his agenda. He would never use loaded words like "catastrophe", would he?

    Because we are, dumbass. We have sky high debt and unemployment, and we can't count on the rest of the world to bail us out like Japan in the 90's.

    Maybe because it's true this time?

    No one who actually studied the positions of the Democrats elected to high office would be even the least bit surprised at this. With nearly all Hollywood pushing Obama you can look at this and realize that it's just for starters.

    Remember folks. YOU elected them. You should have listened to what they were saying instead of screaming "Yeah!" every time they dissed Bush.

    Let's see...cutting the military down to next-to-nothing and letting Iraq twist in the wind until some religious maniac makes it a dictatership again is next on the agenda, I believe. Following that will be beefing up the DMCA and stiffening the penalties. Don't ever say you were surprised. No one who voted for Obama should be allowed to even say that.

    As for the minority of people out there who voted for someone - ANYone - but Obama, the above does not, of course, apply. The rest of you are morons who were asking for it. I mean that quite literally and, yeah, I'm bitter about it. As someone once observed, "I can see why they should suffer for their foolishness, I just can't see why I should as well."
