Be wrong, but be loudest and say the scariest shit and suddenly you’re the guy the MSM treats as right.

And man, that Amanda Carpenter is a vapid little troll, eh?

Methinks Cruz knows about some of his investments in the intertubez types companies.

More Cruz to Nowhere? Doesn’t he have a tent to preach from?

I love how more and more businesses are starting to realize that what the GOP and they have said was good for business isn’t…now if they would stop supporting the GOP and actually accept that they need those regs so that other businesses don’t do horrible things, it would help a lot. The GOP just keeps bowing at the feet of the Koch Brothers who haven’t figured out that their business practices are destroying business and their long term viability.

Cruz needs to realize that, yeah, ending net neutrality is good for a few businesses, but it’ll end up destroying the internet and causing more problems than it solves.

I wish I could find my post about it before but he’s basically now said everything I predicted.

He might as well be calling the Sherman Act and Clayton Act and other antitrust laws evil regulations that stifle innovation and business and harm the economy. He’d be just as horrifyingly wrong and have it just as insanely backwards.

FACT: this is all about the GOP/Teatrolls wanting a “free market,” which for them inextricably includes the idea that monopolies and oligarchies should be “free” to crush attempts at competition, consolidate all holdings and income into themselves and then funnel it to the GOP/Teatrolls to help them win elections and continue enacting laws designed to further plutocracy in this country and around the world.

Mansplaining “net neutrality.” Why am I not surprised?

And by the fucking way:

When is TPM or someone in the MSM going to grow some fucking balls and point out that “I’m going to take these data streams and make one better while the other one sucks so that I can milk more money out of businesses and consumers” IS NOT INNOVATION???

IT IS SCAMMING.

It’s like making cheap and ineffective and maybe even dangerous mouse traps at a loss just so people will feel like it’s justified when you charge them an inflated price for the ones that actually work…but who cares about the loss because that’s more than covered by the extortionary pricing of the working mouse traps?

These fucking twats like nothing more than creating two tiers of everything in the economy…one for the wealthy and one for everyone else.

As Sen. Franken pointed out—far too politely----to Cruz, net neutrality is what we have now, and President Obama is working to keep it that way.

Cruz wants “pay for play” because it will help his big-money corporate backers make even more ill-gotten gains.

It is increasingly clear that there is no form of demagoguery that Cruz will not embrace and no lie he will refuse to tell.

Is he really THAT stupid? Or is he just plain evil? I think he must be one of the two.

He understands Net Neutrality well enough to be able to cash the checks he is getting from Koch funded groups. Follow the money, oh, wait, we can’t anymore because of Citizens United.

The phone company has no say in whether I call Pizza Hut instead of Domino’s. The power company has no say in whether I use a Maytag washing machine instead of a Kenmore. Why should my ISP have any say in whether I subscribe to Netflix instead of Amazon Prime?
