The headline, summary and included link for this story is disgusting. I don't want to see foaming at the mouth liberal slanted stories masquerading as "news for nerds."
The Republicans have been injected with Libertarian blood via the Tea Party movement. Their position on net neutrality is simple: federal government stay out of the internet. They may say whatever it takes to make that happen. The Democrats often use whatever "means to the end," to get the job done (think health care reform.) The Republicans are using this tool to paint doomsday scenarios on what could happen if the federal government were to get involved in regulating the internet (think housing market.)
