I dunno.  Seems like a pretty safe bet honestly.

The GOP wants them dead, the Democrats want them dead.

There aren't enough buisness interests that could save them.

Grass roots politicians always go one of two ways

1) They get integrated

2) Their party tries to destroy and they succeed by keeping up popularity back home for a while... but eventually get destroyed.

Like that guy in PA who switched from Democrat to Republican and back to Democrat only to get defeated in the primaries causing the Democrats to let Toomey get in.

I was serious in that I am genuinely interested in how the tea party votes go in these cases.  I did see that some of the so-called "leaders" were coming out against net-neutrality, so that would lead me to believe they would side with the business interests in this case.

So, you are suggesting that because they are against all regulation of the internet...

they would be for a bill that passes regulation of the internet.

Peculiar.

The exact reason they are against Net Nuetrality is that they don't like the fact that the government could tell internet companies what they could do with the internet, because it would lead to something exactly like this bill.

Let's see, net-neutrality is the government attempting to protect consumers from potentially consumer un-friendly practices of ISPs, so ISPs can't decide which websites their customers have access too.  It is the exact OPPOSITE of this bill, where the government want to restrict access to websites.

So you would support allowing your ISP to dictate which sites you can visit?

Me?  No.

However I can see people being worried that giving the government control over this could lead to government control over what websites can control in general.

The very reason I support Net Neuteality is because total fucking idiots are against it.

Those same idiots seem to be unaware of spell check.

Net... Neuteality?

I could be wrong but I don't think that's how it's spelled either.

Just sayin... getting on someone about their spelling on an internet message board message that was typed up in a few seconds and then following that up by spelling the exact same word wrong.... and calling that person a "total fucking idiot" (good luck with the mods on that one if they stumble by this.)

I mean, that's just a trainwreck.   Guess you don't spell check tiny internet posts either... because you know.  That would be stupid and a complete waste of time.

Anyway... like I said, i'm for laws for it.  However I could see how people would think that consumer demand for that not to happen could be enough to prevent it from happening.

Though I think the one flaw in that currently is that we let phone and internet companies own cable and basically set up pocket monopolies that are only competing against inferior wireless plans.

Typing fast on a dusty keyboard. (I personally give a mulligan to neighboring letters)

I stand by the total fucking idiot statement because anybody who supports industry self-regulation is one.

You give mulligans for mistakes you make.  Bet that works out well.

Personally I tend to ignore spelling... most of all on an internet forum... since it's an internet forum.

Afterall, plenty of outright geniuses actually have sucked at spelling and grammar.  

See Albert Einstein. 

Also, i find it kinda stupid.  There, Their and They're due to the auditory first nature of spelling it's very likely you'll interchange those... and also completely pointless, since it's obvious to the reader what you meant to write.

 

Personally though I often both when writing and typing do switch letters around.

Ususally because i'm about 3 sentences ahead in my head vs what i'm typing.  Heck sometimes I have out and out word replacement of somewhat like sounding words with COMPLETELY different meanings.  Generally the first part of the word sounds exactly the same, but the second part is different.

I'd say I was probably suffering from dyslexia if it wasn't for the fact that I can read ridiculously fast and pick up and apply new words into my lexicon rather eaisly.

It's a shame that Roosevelt was never able to pass his phonetic spelling bill.

Also that we still don't use the metric system.  I mean... what's up with that?  It's so much easier.
