While I agree with Cruz on substance, I do prefer my landline phone.
Just back away, Al. You are not remotely in Cruz’s league.
Franken is bringing a can opener to a shoulder fired missile fight.
Sorry Sen Cruz. You are probably going to have to draw Al a picture...
What happens when government starts regulating a service as a public utility? It calcifies everything. It freezes it in place,”..Ted Cruz 2014!
Al Stuart Smalley Frankens brain...calfified years ago
Franken is a clown. Cruz is a U.S. Senator. He shouldn’t waste his time on Franken.
“While I agree with Cruz on substance, I do prefer my landline phone.”

I’m sure that Obama would want to reassure you that “IF YOU LIKE YOUR LANDLINE PHONE, YOU CAN KEEP YOUR LANDLINE PHONE”.
OK...
Al Franken:
Alan Stuart “Al” Franken (born May 21, 1951) is an American entertainer and politician who, after several decades as a comedic actor and writer, became a prominent political activist and was elected to the United States Senate. Currently the junior United States Senator from Minnesota, Franken rose to prominence in the 1970s and 1980s as a writer and performer on Saturday Night Live (SNL). A member of the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party, an affiliate of the Democratic Party, he narrowly defeated incumbent Republican Senator Norm Coleman in 2008.
Born in New York City, Franken grew up near Minneapolis and attended Harvard University. With his writing partner Tom Davis, with whom he had developed an interest in improv in high school, he was hired as a writer for SNL at its inception in 1975. He worked on the show as a writer and performer until 1980 and returned from 1985 to 1995. After leaving SNL, he wrote and acted in movies and television shows. He also hosted a nationally syndicated, political radio talk show, The Al Franken Show, and authored six books, four of which are political satires critical of right-wing politics.
Ted Cruz:
Education[edit]
Cruz attended high school at Faith West Academy in Katy, Texas,[33] and later graduated from Second Baptist High School in Houston as valedictorian in 1988.[18] During high school, Cruz participated in a Houston-based group called the Free Market Education Foundation where Cruz learned about free-market economic philosophers such as Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, Frédéric Bastiat and Ludwig von Mises.[27] The program was run by Rolland Storey and Cruz entered the program at the age of 13.[25]
Cruz graduated cum laude from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in 1992.[2][7] While at Princeton, he competed for the American Whig-Cliosophic Society’s Debate Panel and won the top speaker award at both the 1992 U.S. National Debating Championship and the 1992 North American Debating Championship.[34] In 1992, he was named U.S. National Speaker of the Year and Team of the Year (with his debate partner, David Panton).[34] Cruz was also a semi-finalist at the 1995 World Universities Debating Championship, making him Princeton’s highest-ranked debater at the championship.[35][36] Princeton’s debate team later named their annual novice championship after Cruz.[35]
Cruz’s senior thesis on the separation of powers, titled “Clipping the Wings of Angels,” draws its inspiration from a passage attributed to President James Madison: “If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.” Cruz argued that the drafters of the Constitution intended to protect the rights of their constituents, and the last two items in the Bill of Rights offered an explicit stop against an all-powerful state. Cruz wrote: “They simply do so from different directions. The Tenth stops new powers, and the Ninth fortifies all other rights, or non-powers.”[32][37]
After graduating from Princeton, Cruz attended Harvard Law School, graduating magna cum laude in 1995 with a Juris Doctor degree.[2][38] While at Harvard Law, Cruz was a primary editor of the Harvard Law Review, and executive editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, and a founding editor of the Harvard Latino Law Review.[7] Referring to Cruz’s time as a student at Harvard Law, Professor Alan Dershowitz said, “Cruz was off-the-charts brilliant.”[19][39][40][41][42][43] At Harvard Law, Cruz was a John M. Olin Fellow in Law and Economics.[44]
Cruz currently serves on the Board of Advisors of the Texas Review of Law and Politics.[44][45]
Any questions?
ROFLOLl!!!
Net neutrality will require a new tax right off the bat.
Kick his smarmy behind Ted!
The fact that Franken gets voted into office makes it seem like Gruber is right - there are some very stupid people...at least in that state.
A Grubagger, a liberal who agrees with Economist Jonathan Gruber that Americans are to stupid to make their own decisions on politics, education, medical information, insurance, retirement, climate change and any other liberal pet project. Because of this stated ignorance, liberals should be allowed to make decisions without informing the citizenry of key information. Example - The Feds should be able to regulate the Internet because you might get information that has not been vetted by the Federal government (net neutrality)...
an fire 🐜 brain functions compared to
an A. Einstein/S. Hawking soaring intellect.
It’s laughable to compare the intellects of the two.
