Net Neutrality
President Obama has come out strongly in favor of net neutrality.
People like Ted Cruz, who answer to their corporate overlords, oppose net neutrality but even more than that, they oppose sex, rock and roll, and President Obama.
So, Ted Cruz , who has an extremely limited world view, tweeted —
What a shame to waste a perfectly good Ebola or Isis analogy.
Net Neutrality: It’s just like Isis with Ebola in a polar vortex with Planned Parenthood and Unionized immigrants. Exactly like that.
I cannot understand why anyone would want this foreign warthog Cruz to represent them. It makes no sense.
1I second it. No Ted Cruz for nuthin’.
2The internet should not operate at the speed slowed down by the maximization of corporate profits. There, fixed it for you Daffy, Jr.
Freebie for ya Daffy, as much as you might admire Nixon, Dude, using his embalmer as your make up artist is not a good look. Seriously, next time you go in for a face waxing, stick around and have the wax removed.
3Thanks; PKM. Couldn’t think of anything profound to say back at Cruz. I guess he just had to have something to say to keep up his quota.
4Cruz sees himself as the leader of the Corporate Congress, so aptly named by HuffPost. Very soon we will begin to see the greed seeping out onto the floor and the corporate honchos will be working their puppets, the Reprehensible Right.

Shouldn’t there be something about Benghazi in there?
6Marge Wood, wait until January. Nothing like a crazy woman (Ernst) to light a fire under the crazy boys, Daffy Jr, Baby Paul and Loopy Louie. When those nattering ninnies beset McConnell and Boehner, President Obama will need a big stick to keep the “big” boys out of the White House liquor cabinet. My money is on our First Lady to throw them a flying tackle, when they make an attempt to attach themselves to President Obama’s ankles as his new best friends.
In my best Jon Stewart voice, the McTurtle: “uh, uh, Boy, I need you.” Yeah, Reince that minority outreach program of yours is a real ‘winner,’ all the way to the White House.
7RE: T Cruz: Isn’t he Canadian or Cuban? I think he wasn’t born in the US of A.
The more I have to read about what this guy says and does, the more I question both Princeton’s and Harvard Law School’s admission policies. Was he a legacy admission like Bush 41 and Bush 43 at Yale? Jimmy Jesus the man can yammer on.
8Micr, there are the born on third base Republicans, then there are the self-loathing pukes like Cruz and Ryan for whom liberal policies were a leg up. In their ever so charmless ingratitude, they want to destroy the paths that made their lives comfortable. New republican mantra: “Got mine. Stadium closed.”
9just heard this quote of Ted Craze. I was caught yelling STFU at the radio.
10What I am looking forward to (assuming we have anything to look forward to) is how these Republicans will act toward each other as they fight to control the party. It should be interesting. I visualize their teeth in each other’s throats. One can only hope.
11Okay, I’ll let y’all historians explain about the high and mighty who weren’t born in the USA. I do wonder why Cruz’s papa was a Cuban until not long ago. PKM or daChipster, someone, talk about why Cruz thinks he is eligible to run for Prez. I gotta go rearrange yet another area of the house, hoping it will magically become an office. I need a drafting table. Anyone have one they want to sell cheap?
12Dear Senator Cruz,
I understand that President Obama is a supporter of respiration. Don’t you want to do something about that?
13Trying to teach Ted Cruz is like trying to teach Ted Nugent. But someone was willing to try.

If the internet operated at the speed of the gov’mint we would still be on dial-up and most listening to the connect tone.
15Ted Cruz Sucks Green Handlle Bars.
16Dear Don A in Pennsyltucky,
17I got some of my non-office cleaner and emptier. Now, I want to THANK YOU for The Oatmeal. I am going to send it to my freaky geeky children who will love it.
El Cruz-o who took damn near forever to drop his citizenship with Canada wants to honk about the speed of government and the internet? Give to me a break!
18Do you suppose Cruz has any inkling whatsoever that what we have right now is Net Neutrality? The discussion is about whether to change that.
And at least the government is progressing, albeit too slowly. The Republican party is heading backwards.
19Don A, thanks for the link to Oatmeal. That’s a great site.
20All that net neutrality that the Muslim illegal aliens with Ebola are bringing over here- it disgusts me & it disgusts Ted Cruz.
21Adding my thanks to DonA: the Oatmeal is a delightful site.
22The internet was developed by government, i. e. U S military.
23T. Cruz: Corporate good! Equality bad!
(Otherwise social-femi-queer-takerism)
24I’m thinking of incorporating just so I can be a citizen.
25Claude E Welch –
Exactly! The internet has ALWAYS operated at the speed of government.
Here’s a solution for Mr. Cruz. Whoever wants to stay on the old style government speed internet, can stay. Then, let the corporations build their own slower toll road internet parallel to the existing network, and as the business people like to say, let the customers decide.
26Anybody else see (or read) The Lorax?
27Oh the LORAX! Had forgotten that. Tell it again, Mama Corinne. (I had to go to Wikipedia and remind myself of what it’s about.) Our kids and I read all of Dr. Seuss’s books over and over.
28The internet here operates at the speed of corporate monopolies like Comcast. If you want to experience internet speed and universal broadband access go to regulated Europe. We have third world access for jacked up prices.
29Does anyone ever answer that idiot? I decline to Tweet, leaving that to the twits. He just wants his name out there. Lookin’ for an oil change for his hair. Hey! Maybe THAT is why he’s all over oil money and tar sands or whatever…
Geo. W. is still a moron. More interviews just cement that conviction.
So, this Oatmeal…I love to eat it (with dried cherries and half and half–) so should I read it, too?
