with the House attempting to overturn the ACA? I just hope the peoples' representatives ( as long as the people are named Koch) will have the time to repeal Obamacare while they are investigating this latest outrageous attempt by the President to accomplish something that will actually do some good.

Impeachment, I say, unless the President agrees to cease and desist from his unconstitutional attempts to actually accomplish something !

By the way, The Benghazi Hearings alone coast the American Taxpayers 14 Million dollars..

I wish we could add up the total amounts of the non starter investigations by the House which I mentioned in my O.P..

something, followed by a run across the street to Fox Studios remote location inside GOP headquarters for some outrage on the TV.....

Predictable as the calm of Obama.

I don't have anyway to determine how many rural American homes are with poor or no internet service. Many are still on dial up, some are on microwave or satellite service while faster than dial up are slower than and cable offerings with data caps that make it uneconomical to stream video content. We pay $50.00 per month for 10G of data for $100.00 we can get 20G. For us Net Neutrality is a moot issue.

So are we only .1% of the population and even if we are why are we discriminated against?

right wingers like to talk as though 90% of Americans are REAL, right wing, family values loving, Republican voting Americans who live on a farm or in a small town. They contrast these mythical real Americans with city dwellers, who are portrayed as decadent, quiche eating America haters who follow Sharia law.

Reality tells us that only 2% of Americans live on a farm. If you can believe the EPA. Republicans like to talk about how they will help average folks, but average to a Republican translates as "the average millionaire who supports Republicans".

Republicans want to cut back on the Postal Service, cutting delivery and offices in mainly rural areas as a precursor to privatizing delivery. UPS already will not deliver to some states and many rural areas. How do you think private delivery would work out for the Southern and Western states that are the Republican base?

Best answer is free internet all over the country, paid for by a tax on the 1%. They can afford it.

Anyone who cannot buy Congresspeople is discriminated against. It is the American way.

But there are a lot more living in rural subdivisions. And yes you're right that it is their base that they are continually screwing.

screaming for impeachment over it because slower Internet service was good enough for the founding fathers.

Do you have to fail an IQ test to be a Teabagger?

This one fails that rule big time. People are going to say, "What is the scandal?"
