Another AWESOME soundbite from the GOP. They don’t let Obama get away with anything. Obama tries something, theu are right there with a scornful or snappy remark!

They never seem to get around to zeroing out the offender budget.

The FCC has become obama’s Gestapo police

Soros funded all the research for the net neutrality Obama’s FCC is trying unconstitutionally to impose on the Internet

I hope Ghomert can stop them . Thank God for his man . Our Internet , our freedom is a stake here.

the news media is hiding this and the court case on Obama’s executive amnesty. Instead the media cover “underinflated footballs” in a football game (the super bowl”). the media and Obama are our enemy

Joseph Goebbels would be very proud of the FCC. Soon we will have no voice of opposition to the left. When that happens, civil war will be just a few heartbeats away. America will never put up with such a violation of 1st amendment rights.

Exactly! Doesn’t poor old Louie realize that words mean nothing to Obola? Or was it all just for show?

So what, exactly, is Rep. Gohmert proposing to do about this situation?

It’s one thing to go on TV and put on a show for the rubes in flyover country; it’s another thing entirely to sanction the agency and throw the head of it in le hoosegow.

Action talks, b***s*** walks, Louie.

There’s something quaint about a Congresscritter lecturing anyone about “playing God”.

I like Gohmert and I like Gowdy but I don’t see them or anyone in the MAJORITY doing anything about the things they at times masterfully speak about.

This is all talk and no action.

An attempt to exercise authority they do not, in fact, possess save on paper might end very badly for them. They are only authorized to complain.
