He's proposed lots of shit. It won't get through congress, so... Hey, I'm glad he's framing the debate. I'm glad he's putting this out there. I'm glad he's forcing people to say "No, I'm against lots of common sense stuff that all the people want to do."

I'm a little bitter though. Where has this shit been the last couple of years? The cynic in me thinks there's an election coming soon... Hey, I could be wrong. Maybe he actually just now realized the Rs aren't going to work with him and he's wasted the last couple of years trying to "reach across the isle".

You kind of blatantly show your bias whe you put the quote marks around "Hussein" there.... Also, as we can see from his actions, Obama is not a very good Liberal. Oh, he talks a lot, but he's pretty much a republican. Also, that link that YOU provided says that the tax raises that they called Broke Promise were on "if you're a happily uninsured smoker who likes to tan, you are facing a triple whammy. " and I just don't give two shits about tanning beds, etc.

So... I think you're a political hack. :D

You know.... I'm politically active. I've spent time in my capital, which is a not insignificant drive away. I have my reps as contacts in my phone. I've spent a lot of time talking to my local state reps. I've seen the lobbyists walking around.

The thing that gets to me is how LITTLE people talk to our reps. They WANT to hear from people. Everyone seems to have YOUR attitude, and frankly... All the problems that this country has are YOUR fault. To quote a famous man "All that evil needs to succeed are for good people to do nothing.".

All day long, they talk to lobbyists. They don't get bribed, at least not outright. They do get paid for access... Lobbyists leave some money in the jar, and they'll get to sit down with the rep and say their peace. That pressure on our reps is constant, and the only thing that can counter is is for people to become politically active.

Shit, it's not like there are a lack of problems to poke. If you really can't see any fixes for our political messes, get your ass off the couch and go fix one of the OTHER problems. I myself, and trying to get money out of politics. I sure could use the help. But you're just standing there, looking like a smug and useless asshole.

I get it. I used to feel like you do. THAT'S HOW THEY WANT YOU TO FEEL so you don't DO anything. It's surprisingly easy to make the world a better place. You don't have to march in the streets for hours every week... You could simply vote with your dollar and try to buy only goods that are ethically made. It's not even that hard these days....

So. Please. Come help us help YOU. :D

Get money out of Politics! wolf-PAC.com

help us support a constitutional amendment, via an article V convention that routes AROUND Congress. Money is not speach. Corporations are not people. Our democracy should not be for sale, yet it IS.

I'm sick of all these "Oh, our infrastructure is vulnerable to attacks!" Yeah, they are...

My power sub station is vulnerable to anyone with $5 of copper wire. It's not like they're gaurded... Fling! Zap! Pow!

Gas stations are vulnerable to anyone with a $0.50 lighter and no sense. It's not like they're guarded! flick flick flick Woosh!

Nothing is guarded, and yet the world keeps on rolling just fine. I hate these stupid scare tactic BS articles.

" absolutely nothing in law that allows the FCC to change the classification of anything it regulates"

Great! Then we already HAVE title II regulation! It was the FCC itself that reclassified broadband providers back in the day. Thanks to the great legal opinion of some !@#$ on the internet, they never HAD that authority, so we don't need to reclassify, because THEY NEVER COULD HAVE RECLASSIFIED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I don't think you know the history of what's going on here. I don't think you know what you're talking about at all.

Somehow I don't think you know that the FCC HAD this authority for the longest time, and they themselves are the ones that gave it up, and they can easily get it back again by reclassifying. I don't think you have the foggiest idea what you're talking about. I don't think you know the history here. I think you just like to circle jerk about how unconstitutional everything is and how blah blah the president is bad.

The FCC was created, with this authority, by a vote of congress. This is nothing new.

We could fix it by passing a law that the broadband companies had to lease their lines at reasonable rates to third parties. We used to do that, and it created real competition by enabling mom and pop ISPs...

That would be awesome... Oh wait, that was done using Title II regulation back in the day.

Those bills weren't a product of Title II regulation, and you know it.

Forcing the ISPs to lease the lines out to other players, and hence creating actual competition and a plethora of mom and pop ISPs? That WAS a product of Title II regulation.

You sir, are a liar.

This is a classic example of some people just hating on Obama, because he's Obama.

In 2014, Republicans were mad at Obama for pushing net neutrality. All we needed to do was to end the city and state laws preventing cities from creating municipal broadband. Let the market work!

In 2015, some of them (not all, but many) will be mad at him for sticking the fed's nose into state and city laws, forcing them to ... You get the idea.

And once again, our great socialist democrat commy leader does EXACTLY what Republicans would have done(cough war, gitmo, bailouts, etc). And they probably won't be happy with it, because it's Obama....
