Al Franken joins the crowd ridiculing Ted Cruz on net neutrality
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/11/17/1345505/-Al-Franken-joins-the-crowd-ridiculing-Ted-Cruz-on-net-nbsp-neutralityBlowhard Sen. Ted Cruz is getting hit from all sides for his ridiculous net neutrality nonsense. His fellow conservatives, and Facebook followers blasted him for being an embarrassment to the whole movement for getting this one so wrong. He's also being schooled on the issue by fellow Sen. Al Franken (D-MN).
"He has it completely wrong and he just doesn't understand what this issue is," Franken said about Cruz on CNN's State of the Union.
"We have had net neutrality the entire history of the Internet. So when he says this is the ObamaCare, ObamaCare was a government program that fixed something, that changed things," Franken explained. "This is about reclassifying something so it stays the same. This would keep things exactly the same that they've been."

Now, Ted Cruz isn't a dumb guy. Chances are pretty good he understands exactly what the issue is, but that he does pretty well by Big Telecom (particularly that $10,000 from AT&T). And he's thinking about that 2016 presidential run and how well he could do by the industry then. But he might need to rethink that.
