House Votes To Overturn FCC On Net Neutrality

suraj.sun writes with this quote from CNet: "House Republicans voted unanimously today to block controversial Net neutrality regulations from taking effect, a move that is likely to invite a confrontation with President Obama. By a vote of 241 to 178, the House of Representatives adopted a one-page resolution that says, simply, the regulations adopted by the Federal Communications Commission on December 21 'shall have no force or effect.' 'Congress did not authorize the FCC to regulate in this area,' Rep. Rob Woodall (R-Ga.), said during this morning's floor debate. 'We must reject any rules that it promulgates in this area... It is Congress' responsibility to delegate that authority.'"

The Tea Baggers only make up 20 members of the House, so this resolution was supported even by moderate Republicans too.

How many Moderates do you think are left in the Republican Party in the House or Senate? These flame-brain "conservative" radio commentators and bloggers, who are playing an influential role, are helping the Republican Party move further to the Right all the time. Fascism can't be far off - in some instances it has already reared its ugly head.
