Not surprising the Democrats do not want to hand over power from the federal government. While the Republicans (myself included) do not trust the federal government to oversee the internet, but they certainly do not trust the U.N. to do it either.
From the article:
>We need to send a strong message to the world that the Internet has thrived under a decentralized, bottom-up, multi-stakeholder governance model.
While that statement was made by a Republican Congresswoman, I see no reason to think that it doesn't accurately represent the thoughts of most of the House - including Democrats - because, as she points out, it is a multi-stakeholder model. Some of the proposals before the ITU, the very ones the House is united against, would put significantly more power in the hands of the federal government - not less.
Why do Democrats oppose it anyway? Because they aren't fascists. Sorry to be the one to have to tell you.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. The Democrats are just as quick to throw millions of people in prison as the Republicans are, and it is the Obama administration that has set the record for "most paramilitary raids on medical marijuana dispensaries."
Have many presidents been in a position where raiding medical marijuana dispensaries was an option?
That's like saying during the Bush Jr. administration that they had set the record for the "most paramilitary raids on cloud computing datacenters". The title is meaningless because the measure didn't exist before that administration.
