Why are GOPers carrying water for anti-competitive telecoms?

The GOP elite and its corporate overlords, including the telecoms, have done an excellent job in convincing "normal," self-professed "free market loving" capitalists that the FCC's proposed rules enforcing net neutrality would destroy the internet. You see all sorts of hysterics, especially in the WSJ comments sections that this will kill the internet, that this is socialism, that Obummer, etc etc. They spout bald-faced lies like the major telecoms already treat internet traffic equally when this has been proven wrong. And yet they endorse further consolidation of the telecom industry which would strengthen control and supply of the the internet traffic in the US into the hands of less than a handful of companies.
Even idiots here like wolftard are spewing the same garbage. Why is that? There is almost zero competition among internet (and cable) providers in major metro areas. We have some of the slowest internet in the world and also the most expensive. Why would supposed "free-market" conservatives support monopolizing the future (and present) of economic innovation in the US?
Oh that's right, because they're fucking hypocritical idiots. Fuck you all.

Yeah, government will "fix" it.
"We will have to pass the Net Neutrality Act to find out what's in it."
"If you like your internet service provider, you can keep your internet service provider."
What could possibly go wrong?

Actually they won't fix it because they will not enforce 15 U.S.C. §§ 1–7.

The ultra-liberal semi-dyke who is about to become our new governor, is currently the secretary of state, and she C&Ped a letter endorsing the Comcast/Time Warner merger from an email they sent her (under heat for it), since Comcast lined her pockets.
As far left a D as there is.
So, what were you saying about the GOP thing again?

She claims to be bisexual.
And she starts her new job Wednesday at 10:00, we just found out.
In the governor's statement of resignation (just now), he showed no contrition, and blamed the entire thing on the media.

Well it is clear you made the correct career choice. Hopefully you do actual research at work before you start banging on your keyboard.
This is LTS/m2 level garbage you just vomited.
Start with these facts:
Comcast CEO Brian Roberts plays golf with Obama
Comcast Exec VP David Cohen is a former aide to Ed Rendell
David Cohen was called a "friend" by Obama at a DNC fundraising event
Reports put Cohen as having raised over $2million for Obama
Chuck Schumer's brother is a lobbyist for Time Warner
FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler is an Obama appointee who maxed out donations to Obama and the DNC
Plenty of Dems and friends of Obama have written or cut and pasted letters of support for the merger including
Rahm Emanuel, Gov of Hawaii, Gov of Colorado, Gov of Maryland, and the Gov of Vermont.
Surely you forgot about this ad that was paid for by a conservative PAC:
http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/artic ... ner-merger
At best this is something that has supporters and opponents on both sides. At worst this is favor by the Administration to those who supported them.
But is it clearly a swing and a miss by you to paint this as you did. You must be really good at your day job.

Yet the FCC is going to rule AGAINST the interests of those donors and telecoms. I think that makes them suckers.
And your Bloomberg conservative PAC ad is a joke. They're not arguing in for free markets or competition, they're arguing against...wait for it...PERCEIVED LIBERAL MEDIA BIAS!
How did you graduate from Rice again?

Okay, babs, but aside from your usual "cum-swilling fucktard" catcalls...can you actually make a prediction? That is, are you suggesting that Wheeler will backtrack and abandon his net neutrality plan? And, given your lock-step support of all things corporate, do you support net neutrality?

Sure. If anyone in this administration says their plan will increase competition and benefit the consumer...it won't.

BTW the internet speed over here is based on how much you pay for, just like the US.

That's just more twisted weaseling on your part. Not a clear statement at all. What's your actual prediction? Will Wheeler go back on his word? And...do you support net neutrality?..C'mon ...for once in your fake life, actually have a take.

Screwy,
My home and business Internet speed is based on a tiered structure.
Grande Communications is the provider. I have a higher priced tier for work and it is much faster.

What part of it do you not understand? Wheeler is just another lying shit sack from the most pathologically dishonest administration in history pimping a program which will accomplish the exact opposite of what he claims it will do. Why do you think Comcast supports it? Do you honestly believe for one splintered instant that they would support regulation which would force them to surrender their competitive advantage?
So, no, I do not support
any regulation proposed by this administration. Their previous lies are a matter of public record and, at this point in the game, anyone who believes a word they say is a catastrophically moronic skidmark on the tighty-whiteys of life.
Is that clear enough for you?
