House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Thursday that the White House wants to create a cybersecurity "monster" to run roughshod over the Internet.

Asked at a press conference to respond to the White House veto threat of the Republican (and cable operator) backed Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), Boehner said: "The White House believes the government ought to control the Internet."

He said the White House believed "that the government ought to take care of everything that is needed for cybersecurity," but that it was "in a camp all by themselves." Actually some congressional Dems, including those backing Senate cybersecurity legislation, are in the same camp.

2. Watch out for the rethugs on this issue. This is important and we need to find out exactly what they

are thinking on this. We need to take the high ground.

I believe it's all a warm up to start collecting taxes on web purchases. ReCON's a infamous for these "smoke screens". Mark my words.

As soon as President Obama leaves office the Repugs will push their own version of these same disgusting laws.

...NOT the other way around...but you knew that didn't you? You're just hoping your stupid-as-fuck voters won't bother to actually read (if they can) what you are trying to pull at the behest of your owners...

Take some Cheney advice and go fuck yourself you weepy, oompah-loompah-looking ass-half...
