Would the loss of the internet cripple the Tea Party movement? (net neutrality)

I don't believe in coincedences, not in these contexts.

Who besides me has noticed that as the tea party movement has grown, the necessity for net neutrality has also grown?



And who besides me has noticed how they don't even care about the fairness doctrine anymore?


I know the question I'm going to ask: What is it that they need so bad? What is their driving force here? It has to be the tea party movement. It has to be. If there's anything we should all instinctively know, it's that leftists and progressives cannot withstand the scrutiny of competition. Their ideas don't inspire.

A few of the things I've catalogued around here that are relevant:


The Marxist Roots of Net Neutrality
Leftists Don’t Form ‘Public Interest’ Groups–They Form Government Interest Groups
The FCC cited 'Free Press' marxists 53 times when it usurped the internet (net neutrality)

We know who's driving the debate. We know the things they usually want. It's a fair question to ask if the tea party movement is the real target in some way.

The FCC chief recently said:

"In my view, while critically important, antitrust laws alone would not adequately preserve the freedom and openness of the Internet"

There shouldn't be any question as to them having a goal, an objective. They're statists, and they use state power to squash those who oppose them. The question is, what is that goal?
