Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, hit back at Sen. Al Franken, D-Minnesota, Monday for his comments that Cruz doesn't know what he is talking about when it comes to net neutrality. Cruz used a video that he uploaded to YouTube and social media that shows the senator explaining what net neutrality is and how it works.

Every time I see Ted Cruz speak, I see why Dems and RINOs want to demonize him and marginalize him: if you hear the real Ted Cruz, he comes across as intelligent, informed, convincing, and NOT EXTREME. So his opponents must destroy his image before the public has the chance to see the real Ted Cruz.
“Franken attended Harvard University”
Which is not the same as having graduated from said university. Nice way to avoid saying he didn’t finish college.

Exactly.
lol Franken is such an obnoxious, arrogant....I can’t say it.
Al Franken was more convincing as a vapid, effeminate, New Age talk-show host than he is as a U.S. Senator.
:)
he seems to have hit his spot with stuart smalley...
the inner al franken...needs to look at a change of career
...jackass?
Net neutrality is a pro-market regulation that prevents content-providers who also own ISPs from establishing what was once called a "vertical trust" and using their dual position as content providers (already holding a government granted monopoly called "copyright" on specific content) and ISPs to simultaneously disadvantage competing content providers and competing ISPs. Yes, it's a regulation, but it's regulation that has the effect of preventing incumbents in the market from keeping out entrepreneurial start-ups, rather than a regulation that either makes business infeasible in some way or cements the position of incumbents in the market against competition. (Again, everyone who hasn't, read Sarah Palin's favorite Chicago-School economist's popularization of his scholarly work entitled A Capitalism for the People, to learn the difference between pro-market and pro-business.)
Either Cruz really doesn't know what he's talking about on this, or he's trying to burnish his credentials with the Chamber-of-Commerce-RINO wing of the party in penance for opposing them on amnesty, by staking out a position that only big telecom companies really support.
He needs to make an analogy so Franken can understand.
Let’s say the data packets are like cocaine while the internet is a small glass mirror. The regulators are the coked up unfunny actor struggling to stay relevant on SNL...
I forgot the point of this analogy but Al Franken is an unfunny coked up idiot.
Higher reliability. (It's an old skool system designed by real engineers to work for years and years and years....)
I still have one that even has digital dialing.
When Dems accuse Republicans of being stupid
(you don’t understand the law), the Republican
should immediately say, “Thank you Mr. Gruber.”
CNN introduced the phrase “net neutrality” in connection with this. Cruz may be addressing a different aspect of regulation altogether, kind of like the difference between health care and health insurance, which everyone confuses.
Al Franken......the only person in history to go to the drive through at Burger King and ask to see Colonel Sanders.
