Oh please man don’t think republicans wouldn’t support this *edited*. And if they don’t, It just shows how hypocritical there whole party is. If this was drafted 8 years ago, you betcha it would be pass through. Reminds me of this amazing bill that was passed by both republicans and democrats, back in the day(republicans were alot stronger back in 01 in congress):
The Act increases the ability of law enforcement agencies to search telephone, e-mail communications, medical, financial, and other records; eases restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering within the United States; expands the Secretary of the Treasury’s authority to regulate financial transactions, particularly those involving foreign individuals and entities; and enhances the discretion of law enforcement and immigration authorities in detaining and deporting immigrants suspected of terrorism-related acts.
the expanded use of National Security Letters, which allows the FBI to search telephone, e-mail, and financial records without a court order; and the expanded access of law enforcement agencies to business records, including library and financial records
text above isn’t from the internet control bill, but one we passed a long time ago? It ring a bell to anyone? The patriot act. Republicans cry for injustice and the ‘taking away of civil liberty’ is about as pathetic and hypocritical as one can get. I’m not justifying the proposed internet takeover bill, but don’t think a republican wouldn’t try and pull this kind of *edited* if they were in office, because they would and already have.
So let me get this straight….when a democratic president decides to do something to strengthen security he is labeled hitler, but when a republican president does the exact same thing, he’s a patriot? talk about bull*edited* and lets not forget the latter actually happened, patriot crap was signed by good ole bush, if obama were to even come close signing something like this all the hypocrites called republicans would go nuts. wing nuts
