Federal Communications Commission member Robert McDowell said in August that a potential reimposition of the Fairness Doctrine could be ?intertwined? with the debate over network neutrality. McDowell warned that an effort to reimpose the defunct broadcasting doctrine could sync up with efforts to regulate network management, resulting in ?government dictating content policy? on the Web.

This twisted theory of the First Amendment cannot support net-neutrality regulation. The First Amendment was intended to protect us from tyrannical, coercive government power, not the silly mistakes of private companies.

Not that some of these sources aren't partisan... but none the less, its not as cut an dry Obama - McCain as you think. Democrats in the State of CA already tried to bring discussionon a special tax to the Adult industry. So to say that one side is better for adult -vs- the other is not entirely true.
