In case you missed the boat, it's a Republican (McCain) and a Dem (Lautenberg) taking up a side against a Republican (Sessions). Party affiliation is fairly irrelevant in this case it seems and it's other interests that are drawing the lines.

Also, I can't really believe you're at all surprised that McCain would be involved against something like this. Either that or you haven't followed politics at all in the past few years... McCain's still railing against the cableco's over ala carte' at last check. This is right in his wheelhouse.

And as for Sessions' involvement, it's well-documented why he's interested in his side...

They promote smaller government when their party isn't the majority makeup of the government.

They also promote for-profit wars -- when their kids don't have to fight.

I've heard this before, but everything I have seen, the Republicans are the ones that pass more laws giving Goverment all the more control.

Its also just like the Republicans calling the Democrats liberals. When everything I have seen, its the Republicans that are so "liberal" with all the money thrown around.
