Hey, you know how we predicted that the opposition to Barack Obama's endorsement of Net Neutrality was going to be loud, annoying, and swift? Case in point, this tweet from Ted Cruz, which is typical of the Doublespeak we're all going to be hearing a lot more of:
Yeah, I wondered that too, although truly, it probably wouldn&#039;t have changed anything. If people couldn&#039;t be motivated to get out and vote against the wackaloons that <i>were</i> running, an abstract threat to the toobz was unlikely to get &#039;em out.
and triple our rates while they&#039;re at it. Here&#039;s a reality check for the &#039;Murican exceptionalism&#039; teatards: compare our ISP speeds and prices with the rest of the world- and prepare to weep...
We progressives have a tendency to shoot ourselves in the foot sometimes. When I first heard the term &quot;Net Neutrality&quot;, I knew it was going to be trouble because it sounds like a new initiative. If we were Republicans we would have called it &quot;Leave the Internet Alone&quot; or &quot;Don&#039;t Change my Internet&quot; or some other simple, stupid phrase. The term &quot;Net Neutrality&quot; doesn&#039;t obviously say &quot;keep it the way it is&quot;.
The problem with smart people, sometimes, is they forget that you have to present an idea to the not-so-smart masses. We did the same thing with &quot;Global Warming&quot; until we realized that stupid people thought &quot;how can it be warming when I&#039;m really really cold right now&quot;. We&#039;re still trying to walk that one back.
fortunately &#039;being from texas&#039; is still allowed.
As I recall, The Phone Company.

Hello, Comcast?
Yes, my Ted Cruz seems to be running slowly and stupidly. Could you please send a technician?
Oh, I see. Working as designed, huh? In that case, I&#039;d like to cancel.
Let me Enron it by some folks and I&#039;ll get back to you.
I feel like that stretch from Monty Python Life of Brian just needs a little update and it could work for the GOP.
So these jerks want to go back to the good old days when AOL charged by the minute, right. Internet stamps for every piece of email! Golden!

Oh Ted Cruz - go play in traffic.
The Palin Channel comes from Alaska, it should be frozen for most of the year.
