GOP to include Trojan Horse "Internet Freedom" language in platform
http://j.mp/OBQBbT (Daily Caller)
"Republicans could soon champion the protection of Internet Freedom as
an official party issue, The Daily Caller has learned. Language in the
final draft of the Internet freedom proposal was obtained exclusively
by The Daily Caller."

Outside of the fact that the GOP platform isn't worth the paper it's
printed on -- it's really just a propaganda leaflet for the
feeble-minded -- if you're familiar with GOP Internet Freedom talking
points (mostly from Rand Paul) they're primarily a giveaway to the
dominant ISPs that would allow them to continue and expand their
absolute control of the Net, including anticompetitive filtering and
blocking, predatory pricing, and much more. It's all about making
them even richer and destroying anyone who promotes even common sense
regulation. Don't be fooled.
