Given that when this whole thing started after Obama appointed that Wheeler guy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Wheeler) as the FCC head, Mr. Wheeler seemed like he was on the path to implementing something (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Wheeler#Net_neutrality) that would have been pretty much the exact opposite of what we got now, so while it's rather cynical to expect such, it still honestly wouldn't surprise me if all of this was indeed just some sort of huge bait-and-switch thing.
And yeah, the Republicans and their cronies are masters at doublespeak (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublespeak). It is, as far as I can tell, pretty much the only real reason that they're still around and in power at all in this day and age.
