...It's really clear that the Republican strategy is to search far and wide to find the person least qualified to be in charge of any particular thing. Incompetence is the guiding principle of Republican governance.

No surprise that Republicans are against "net neutrality" to keep the playing field level. Startups and individuals don't contribute nearly as much to the RNC as big business. The desired outcome was best described by Craig Newmark, founder of CraigsList: "Imagine you call your local Jack's Pizza, and get a recording advising you that you can wait on hold for a couple of minutes to reach Jack's, or you could be connected right away to Pizza Hut." (paraphrased from memory, but that's close). An Internet with toll lanes inevitably favors entrenched wealth and power...just the way Republicans like it.
