House Rejects FCC’s Net Neutrality RulesPosted on Apr 9, 2011
With murmurs of a veto in the background, Republicans successfully pushed a measure through the U.S. House rejecting the FCC’s 2010 net neutrality rules for Internet service providers. A similar measure awaits action in the Senate, but the White House has indicated that President Obama would veto any such resolution. —JCL

Obama will veto it. Much of his funding when he ran for president came from enthusiastic supporters of net neutrality. The more important question here is why do the Republicans want to shut down the internet? What have they got to hide? I think at least 73% of Americans know exactly what they’ve got to hide, now and into the future. They want to shut down the internet for the same reason they want to shut down Wikileaks: because the truth can only do them harm.

It’s our own fault. The reason the House made this move is because The Boner’s p****d at all the remarks made on the ‘Net about his orange face, and how he always looks and sounds as though each morning he dips his head in a bucket of crap.

our waffling, wavering President has the gonads to veto rejection of net neutrality.
