They support the most basic idea, of not allowing the telcos to regulate bw pipes to people, companies, ect. Of course we already have laws in place that cover this.
So yeah, if these douches wish to support more laws and rules, then great. I have read the actual attempted laws, and they are very opened ended and clearly give IPS's (which all the companies you listed are) more power. And it would give power to the FCC to regulate the Internet. And they have never been fair, logical, or smart..

Of course it gives them more power. The power helps all of us. It insures we don't get fucked over by the ISPs.
Here is the act:

Where are you getting this from? The Act isn't open ended, it states everything clear and simple. It doesn't give them any such powers to regulate the net.
The other one:

This just makes it a violation of the Clatyon Antitrust Act to discriminate against traffic.
Those are the acts in full. If you have access to super secret acts that give the FCC the power to regulate the net in broader terms, please let me know. Those acts do not in any way give the ISPs more power. The ISPs have been lobbying heavily against them.
And "these douches" run every major internet property on the web. Are you telling me they are all wrong? That McCain's stance is the right one? I think you're really reaching to try and make McCain somewhat tolerable for those in an online business.
