[QUOTE="Toledero, post: 2017466, member: 730421"] things of their choosing? Oh great, the right is trying once again to censor the universe. This bill would allow Internet Service Providers to slow down and block certain Internet content of their own choice to their subscribers. The best part is he had the opposite opinion last year. Why does McCain think this can pass, and why doesn't he think everyone is going to be outraged? Republicans have been for net neutrality since the beginning, but recently a wave of them have been joining the big telephone companies in wanting to charge more for less Internet access (and opposing everyone else). Can you guess why? Glenn Beck said that net neutrality is a "Marxist plot." Suddenly, it's a debate, and taking away freedom is patriotic. You can't make this stuff up. If you're a Republican, I hope you'll disagree with Beck about this one. It's really that black and white. Beck is literally in support of restricting our online freedom to make telecommunications companies more money. Then he calls opposing this a "Marxist plot." The Internet has always been neutral. By Beck's logic, everyone who uses the Internet is a Marxist. Do you see how silly he sounds? source on McCain and Beck http://rawstory.com/2009/10/mccain-net-neutrality/ Additional Details first it was bush with habeas corpus and privacy. Now McCain goes on the attack against free speech and fair market. @Oh no Actually he wasn't one of the ten who voted on that bill. Lets be fair, lets not become republicans. [/QUOTE]
