CA Rep Anna Eshoo on talking about "Internet Freedom" on C-Span...
but I don't even understand what she's talking about. She keeps mentioning "Net Nutrality" but I'm not sure she isn't a DINO DEM?

Anyone know more about her? CA DU'ers? Is she a good Congresswoman. She seems to be reading from her "lobbyists recommendations." Maybe she took to heart what "Dem Lobbyists/Internet Lobbyists" are saying...maybe not.

:shrug:

1. My California friends tell me she's overtly liberal on popular
public issues, but on less public issues much less so.

Give her credit for voting against the war authorization and the recent extension
of the USA Patriot act.

Hold her accountable for her refusal to even talk about impeachment, and her
blind refusal to consider any criticism of the 9/11 Commission Report.

3. I don't consider a refusal to be rational on essential issues
of the day "positive" regardless of the correctness of some of her votes.

My friends tell me she refuses to support her opinions, but stands on a
"we just disagree" line.

Some of them suspect that her tenancy on the House Intelligence Committe makes
her excessively concerned about her security clearances, and may have exposed
her to unhealthy influences.
