kudos:5 | How about looking at GOP platform |

| First off, the GOP has consistently illustrated this election that their words mean nothing and that they are willing to lie through their teeth to get elected. It's like listening to Sudasky claim he's innocent.
Ironic to see the preamble on the first page, something every Republican seems to ignore. "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union".
Amazing how I do not see the words "shareholder, profiteer, superpack, CEO, Board, Wall-street, corporation, conglomerate, bankers, etc etc" in there; i.e. the Republican creed. |

That is the sum total in the GOP platform about the internet & telecom. All the dire predictions by commentators are what THEY READ in to these generalized statements. IOW, attacks based on little substance of what was written in the platform

Just another load of Bovine excrement. I've yet to see either party even remotely support their platforms. In reality, it's nothing but a get re-elected action list that makes the populace "think" they represent them. Lofty platitudes coming from the GOP dais is here today and gone tomorrow, same with the Dems. The nation wanted national security, we got the Patriot Act, Homeland security and countless other violations of our privacy. We have Presidents saying its legal to go to foreign countries and execute American citizens without a trial. We have wholesale sellout of the taxpayer to Big Money a la the bailout of the Banking thieves, continuation of the War machine, failure to protect our sovereign borders while sending our sons daughters, wives and husbands to die in foreign lands. I don't swallow the BS coming from either the Romney camp or the Obama camp because its just too hard to forget the past failures to deliver on promises. |

So you're saying we should only pay attention to the political sales pitch but ignore decades of history for both parties? How convenient. |

No I am saying don't make up meanings in a document that isn't in the document. Which is exactly what a lot of bloggers are doing.

| There's nothing in the document but a bunch of fluff and bullshit, like all political documents from both parties. I'll rely on actual history to tell me who I should believe, thanks -- and it shouldn't be politicians with a generation of lies under their belt. |

That's fine. But also don't believe bloggers & commentators with their own history of distorting reality to further their own agendas - like a lot of these so-called consumer protection groups that are just shills for more gov't control of everything..

| with their own history of distorting reality
It's fascinating that everybody in this country screams and cries about distortion, or bias when something doesn't fit their (usually very narrow) world view, but is utterly incapable of seeing that their own lense out onto the world creates distortion of its own.
Stop buying into partisan nonsense. It might help keep you from over simplifying consumer advocate positions as "more gov't control of everything." Most of them are trying to represent the public -- a novel notion indeed. |
