Cruz's spokeswoman, Amanda Carpenter, added that net neutrality would place the government "in charge of determining pricing, terms of service, and what products can be delivered. Sound like Obamacare much?"

they have no idea what they are talkiing about and surprise he's from texas/.

^lollers


give it a minute we'll have some obama bashers in here trying to somehow defend Cruz

 

[DesiPower]

Or from foxnews.com main page main headline "Obama declares: Regulate the 'Net'"

Lol, one hell of a way to spin it

 

[zanejohnson]

i bet the republican argument is gonna be something along the lines of, "obams is trying to steal from the taxpayers who can afford internet, to give it to the welfare moms who don't deserve it/can't afford it"

 

[theeedude]

That means Obamacare is net neutrality for health care.

 

[Blanky]

From what I can tell pretty much people are against net neutrality if they either have no idea what they are talking about, a dogged and enslaved small gov person, or they are somehow getting money from the ISPs.

 

[zinfamous]

The internet cometh. I'm not sure little Cruz can withstand this one.

Or from foxnews.com main page main headline "Obama declares: Regulate the 'Net'"

Holy shit!
"Fair and balanced," indeed. D:

or they are somehow getting money from the ISPs.

I figured you were just making a joke until I actually went to Fox News' website. This is absurd even for a partisan news source. I guess this is why nobody with functional brain cells considers Fox to be actual news.

And now if you go to any conservative site such as freerepublic they are ranting and raving about Obama regulating the internet. So as usual Fox's tactics work on the target audience.

You never go full Repub.

i don't think she knows what net neutrality is...

boy, i am sure glad politicians have their finger on the pulse of the times.

 

[zanejohnson]

it's really the entire republican party that is not "up to speed," with the times......


that's really the entire scope of it...

if you identify as a "republican," it's more than likely that your not very smart lol.

as much stupid and hateful as the Repub fan base is, I was amazed of their resounding victory last week in both houses. That really speaks volume about the Dems.

We, as a nation, are completely screwed!

 

[DrDoug]

I wish Obama would push for a law that says you have to breathe regularly.

It would solve a lot of problems real quick! :biggrin:

Um, no.

It speaks volumes about how people in Red States vote, nothing more.

i hope obama makes this an executive order and bypasses every branch of government.

senators and congress can not be trusted with this issue at all.

 

[Paul98]

Seems John Boehner is really out attacking it also.
