link [1] is down, in fact several links at senate.gov are down. I don't want to say your claim is disingenuous because you did throw a caveat in there, however Rand Paul did not support handing the internet off to the FCC to regulate if we want to call that defensible. He did however publicly rail against the freedom act and tried to fillibuster it though ultimately that failed.



My comment was actually referring to Bernie Sanders. You're right though, Rand Paul did a lot to fight the "Freedom" Act.

I know, I didn't know if you meant to disqualify him with that caveat. On balance he is a pretty good presidential candidate in that he has a lot of pro-freedom rational stances on important issues, they are predictable and he has been consistently vocal about them.

Just wanted to point out Paul is a presidential canidate as well.

edit: meant to qualify with, it seems like you didn't intentionally leave him out.
