They don't always just jump on his bandwagon. Many RP supporters don't agree with him on everything. And, many of the arguments that RP makes are backed by very good reasoning, of which his supporters are already aware. RP's libertarian supporters often already have reasons to support his free market and limited government ideas, because libertarians are generally highly informed people who have studied and reasoned their stances. RP isn't saying anything new, he is just saying what should have been said all along.P.S. I'm a paleoconservative, but I have a great deal of admiration for libertarians. They're very intelligent people.

Nope, just their ideals, philosophy, and the creation of a true citizen-statesman, not a politician.

NN is just another barrier for competition. What is going to happen is that ISPs are going to be allowed to provide their own content at higher bandwidths but not charge other websites any extra money for increased bandwidth. Instead what is going to happen is they are going to provide special controls with some content providers to put their content on the ISPs special service, this will have the same effect that NN was trying to avoid, biased access to web content. Except that now there is a contracts, and not all ISPs will get these contracts, and the ones that do not will not be able to provide the content that their customers may like and so their customers decide to go to the ISPs that provide the content they want at higher speeds. What you end up with is content providers manipulating ISPs, reversed from ISPs manipulating content providers.

It really comes down to, the federal government doesn't have the right to take one mans money, and give it to another. If people want there money to loan to people for college, they can set something up outside of the federal government. And people can opt in, or a State can create something. At least if someone doesn't like it they can move, or at state level they can combat it a lot easier if they don't like it.
