Subject: McCain: "The corporations control the government and not the

"His bill 'will keep the Internet free from government control and
regulation,' McCain said"

We knoooow!!!
What's "the government?"
LMAO.
Certainly not anyone with 1) a brain in
their heads, 2) hired by us, 3) PAID by us,
and 4) assigned to keep the Bigs in check,
operating within the law. We don't *know*
any such competent persons, much less send
them a paycheck which says "dot guv" on it.
For instance, Richard Blumenthal works for
the unions:
http://www.actionlyme.org/080924.htm
'Not the actual people. 'Not the humans
who have to suffer the crimes, mental retardation,
and incompetence of the dot guv unions.
My point exactly, Mr. McCain. The Bigs and
their pigs run the country. We do not have any
such thing as we could call a "government."
Not locally, not in the State, and not
at the "USA" level.
That's why us'n regular normals have to have
websites: for the *entertainment* of Europe,
Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and South
America.
FOR THE HUMOR!!!

McCain introduces bill to block Net neutrality

johnmccain20080102b McCain introduces bill to block Net
neutralityRepublican strategy is to paint Net neutrality as government
'control' of Internet
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) introduced a bill in the Senate on Thursday
that would effectively allow Internet service providers to slow down
or block Internet content or applications of their choosing.
The move came the same day as the federal government decided to move
forward on an official Net neutrality policy that would prevent ISPs
from making those types of decisions.
The FCC's new rules would prevent ISPs, for example, from blocking or
slowing bandwidth-hogging Web traffic such as streaming video or other
applications that put a strain on their networks or from charging
different rates to users.
McCain's bill, the Internet Freedom Act, would block the Federal
Communications Commission from making Net neutrality the law of the
land. The rule preventing ISPs from slowing down certain types of
content would create "onerous federal regulation," McCain argued in a
written statement.
Story continues below...
According to a report at NetworkWorld, McCain "called the proposed Net
neutrality rules a 'government takeover' of the Internet that will
stifle innovation and depress an 'already anemic' job market in the
US."
But supporters of Net neutrality argue that the rule is needed to
ensure that Internet providers don't censor content, or slow down
traffic to Web sites that are in competition with their business
allies.
FCC chairman Julius Genachowski argued that "reasonable and
enforceable rules of the road" were needed "to preserve a free and
open Internet."
"The Internet's openness has allowed entrepreneurs and innovators,
small and large, to create countless applications and services without
having to seek permission from anyone," he said.
But, the FCC chairman said, there have been "some significant
situations where broadband providers have degraded the data streams of
popular lawful services and blocked consumer access to lawful
applications."
Two Republicans on the FCC also voted on Thursday to go ahead with the
rule-making process, which will be open for public comment until
January 14, but voiced misgivings about the plan.
NET NEUTRALITY A 'MARXIST PLOT'?
As the NetworkWorld article notes, McCain was on the opposite side of
the Net neutrality debate from President Barack Obama during last
year's presidential campaign. During his White House campaign,
President Barack Obama came out strongly in favor of Net neutrality,
which is backed by companies such as Google, Amazon, Yahoo!, eBay and
consumer advocacy groups, but opposed by telecommunications, wireless
and cable companies.
Republicans appear to be shifting against Net neutrality and aligning
themselves with the telecoms and cable companies.
This week, media watchdog Media Matters criticized conservative news
host Glenn Beck for what it said was Beck's allegation that Net
neutrality is a "Marxist plot," and that the point of Net neutrality
is to "control content," a perspective that prompted MediaMatters and
other observers to question whether Beck understands the principle of
Net neutrality.
In his announcement today, McCain appeared to agree with the notion
that Net neutrality represents regulation and control, rather than a
lack thereof.
His bill "will keep the Internet free from government control and
regulation," McCain said, as quoted by Phil Goldstein at Fierce
Wireless. "It will allow for continued innovation that will in turn
create more high-paying jobs for the millions of Americans who are out
of work or seeking new employment. Keeping businesses free from
oppressive regulations is the best stimulus for the current economy."
