Yes, I believe that was the case for all of them except Ron Paul. Ron Paul opposed it before it was cool for the other politicians to oppose it. Plus, it's against his beliefs, because he believes the Government shouldn't intervene in most issues. He opposed net neutrality, too, for the same reason, and that's actually something that "the people" wanted back then. So I wouldn't worry about him in regards to changing his mind depending on where the wind blows like that.
But I noticed at least a few Congressmen who were very opposed to net neutrality "because the Internet should be free, and the Government shouldn't intervene" (while receiving donations from carriers), and then going full 180 degrees, and becoming sponsors of SOPA (when receiving donations from Hollywood). Washington is full of hypocrites, and the current incentives to go and beg for the corporations' money for their campaigns, are definitely not helping.
