Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Tex.), ranking member of the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee filed an amendment to an appropriations bill aimed at preventing the Federal Communications Commission from adopting net neutrality regulation.

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Good for her!
Who? There are only two Spinators from Texas aren’t there? So who is this that has shown some spine and conservative ilk? Which Kay Bailey Hutchinson is this?
Well, I am pleasantly surprised.
Well, thank you God!!!!
It's the one we see about once a year that figures out which way the gale is blowing then rattles a cage or two and disappears.
John, John, are you out there too??
Completely defund the FCC if they try to implement regulations on the internet!!! yahoo!
Oh, that one. Kay Baily Hidesagain. Figures. It has been about a year since she came up for air. Same one that put up a flag to run for Gov and found absolutely no wind.
I think John Boy is licking his wounds from the ABC interview and reshaping his feet of clay.
Gosh, I didn’t know she had it in her...she knows she better grow a spine unless she wants the TEA Party breathing down her neck!
Like the EPA, the FCC is an obsolete, prehistoric piggy that wallows in taxpayer dollars. It’s past time for both of them to go. Put those bureaucrats in the unemployment lines with everyone else.
The FCC should be abolished after this. They tried to infringe on our 1st amendment rights and should be eliminated for that. They if allowed would not have stopped with Fox News this would also have been shut down as well.
Thanks for the ping. Maybe Nov. wasn’t completely wasted on these people after all.
Exactly. Must be an invasion of the body snatchers. Just wait until she flip flops. That or she might be beginning to see the light after she lost BIG TIME in her run for governor. There are many in Texas who can’t wait until we can vote her out.
He's still hurting from his Arlen Spectre and Charlie Crist endorsements. If only we could get the idiot to endorse McCain.....
I wasn’t aware that there was a Senator by this name any more. We used to in Texas but thought she and Cornyn were considering becoming Mexican citizens.
Excellent!
The cleanup is officially underway.
let’s have more of this type of stuff....
