McCain Lost!

http://gizmodo.com/5391712/net-neutrality-worst-case

Can you imagine what kind of mayhem McCain would have created? The wingnuts don't know how lucky the country is not to have the fear of Palin replacing a senile President. My neighbor, a doctor no less, still has a McCain/Palin bumper sticker on his vehicle displaying his overt stupidity...

Okay, nothing there on the link that remotely covers the point you were trying to make.  I still see a Sore/Loserman bumper sticker every now and then, so what?

Yes there is....are you still sporting a McCain/Palin sticker on your trycycle?

Ok. It's freaking scary, once again, legislators not listening to what the public wants.

Okay, if someone can decipher wth the message is on that page, fill me in.  I must have my obtuse glasses on today.

The point of the Gizmodo post is that we can expect our Internet access to be tiered like cable if Net Neutrality isn't approved.

I haven't checked for a while, but there used to be a "Bus Bellmon to Panama" sticker on a utility pole at 51st and Harvard. It was there for at least 25 years.

I should be thrilled that the government is begging to regulate the Internet because it means McCain "lost" something or other?  I don't get it.

I believe it's because he introduced a bill to kill net neutrality.  Killing net neutrality would essentially do what the link intonates.

Found this the other day.  This is the general concept of what an ISP like AT&T/Comcast wants to do to your internet.  And the problem is they own a lot of the cross country fiber and can control this kind of thing at will. This is why I feel we need net neutrality.
