Re:The Tea Party Hates Net Neutrality Because It’s An ‘Affro... by teilo on Friday August 13, 2010 @04:35PM (#1602189)
First of all, the "tea party" has no specific position on anything, because there is no such thing as the "tea party" as an organization, with a charter, platform, etc. It is a diffuse movement with no centralized structure of any sort.

It is certain that those who identify themselves as tea-partiers certainly tend to have a lot in common - including a belief in the free market, a political outlook tending towards libetarianism, or lacking that, at least a strict constructionist understanding of the Constitution.

But beyond that, you will find a huge variety of opinions among the group. Some are pro Iraq war, some anti-war entirely. Some are pro death penalty, others opposed to it under all circumstances. I think you will find the same on net neutrality.

I generally identify with the group, but I am adamant that net neutrality must be maintained to protect free speech.
