Al Franken takes dummy Ted Cruz to School

Al Franken struggles to explain net neutrality to Ted Cruz: You are ‘completely wrong’

Explaining a moderately complicated policy to an extremist... a struggle.

But Franken told CNN’s Candy Crowley that Cruz had the concept of net neutrality “completely wrong.”

“CNN’s website, [and] a blogger in Duluth, Minnesota travels at the same speed… The New York Times, their website travels the same speed,” Franken pointed out. “That’s the way that it’s been from the beginning. And we want to keep it that way.”

“He has it completely wrong, he just doesn’t understand what this issue is,” the Minnesota Democrat said of Cruz. “We’ve had net neutrality the entire history of the Internet.”

Franken observed that “Obamacare was government program that fixed something, that changed things. This is about reclassifying something so it stays the same. This would keep things exactly the same as they’ve been.”

Was it like Gruber explaining the ACA to the MinC?

Franken to Cruz.....He has it completely wrong, he just doesn’t understand what this issue is,” the Minnesota Democrat said of Cruz. “We’ve had net neutrality the entire history of the Internet.”

Yeahbut now we have to change it because Obama likes it

change what? he's trying to keep it as it is. you republicians are really brainwashed and stupid or just autoidibots or what?

He wants to change the classification.

] On 10 November 2014, President Obama recommended the FCC reclassify broadband Internet service as a telecommunications service in order to preserve net neutrality.[19][20]​

Guess you didn't get the memo.

Net neutrality is just a distraction so Obama can start censorship on the internet.

It'll be one more boondoggle hidden inside of tortured language. Massive increases in regulation.

Hey, trust the Democrats. They never lie!!

Even with title II regulation, it would be impossible to censor content.

The players in this are the Wired crowd who fear they will lose their torrents and all the illegal movies, music and games they download. Then there are lefties, prompted by the desire to give welfare to Apple and NetFlix. All of this happens at the transport layer - there is no way of knowing what the content is, unless you capture packets and reassemble them - which no one is doing (except maybe the FBI covertly).

No, this is purely about welfare for NetFlix. Censorship has nothing to do with it.

If this is just about Netflix and Apple why are so many other major companies in favor of Net Neutrality?

What businesses are against Net Neutrality? The Major ISPs and thats it. Why is that?

I can understand why Al Franken and you think Ted Cruz is a dummy. After all, here are Al Franken's credentials:

"Franken graduated fromThe Blake Schoolin 1969, where he was a member of the wrestling team. He then attended Harvard University where he majored in government, graduating cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in 1973."

He and you probably compared that degree with the one of Ted Cruz. I have to admit I was unable to find where Cruz was on a wresting team.

"Cruz attended high school at Faith West Academy in Katy, Texas,and later graduated from Second Baptist High School in Houston as valedictorian in 1988.

During high school, Cruz participated in a Houston-based group called theFree Market Education Foundation where Cruz learned about free-market economic philosophers such as Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, Frédéric Bastiat and Ludwig von Mises.The program was run by Rolland Storey and Cruz entered the program at the age of 13.[

Cruz graduated cum laude from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in 1992.While at Princeton, he competed for the American Whig-Cliosophic Society's Debate Panel and won the top speaker award at both the 1992 U.S. National Debating Championship and the 1992North American Debating Championship.In 1992, he was named U.S. National Speaker of the Year and Team of the Year (with his debate partner, David Panton).Cruz was also a semi-finalist at the 1995 World Universities Debating Championship, making him Princeton’s highest-ranked debater at the championship.Princeton's debate team later named their annual novice championship after Cruz.

After graduating from Princeton, Cruz attendedHarvard Law School, graduating magna cum laude in 1995 with a Juris Doctor degree.While at Harvard Law, Cruz was a primary editor of the Harvard Law Review, and executive editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, and a founding editor of the Harvard Latino Law Review.[7] Referring to Cruz's time as a student at Harvard Law, ProfessorAlan Dershowitzsaid, "Cruz was off-the-charts brilliant."At Harvard Law, Cruz was a John M. Olin Fellow in Law and Economics."

How could any thinking consumer possibly be against Net Neutrality?

Because they want to help

Comcast (voted Americas WORST COMPANY) just wants to offer more choices at better rates

Because you can trust the Telecoms to NOT fuck your ass

Almost as clever as the President Of The United States.

Cruz's statements regarding Net Neutrality and Obamacare did demonstrate a profound lack of understanding of what Net Neutrality actually is.

But then Ted generally doesn't have a firm grasp on the issues he chooses to discuss. I remember him telling his constituents that defunding Obamacare by shutting down the government was going to be easy.

How'd that work out again?

Ted is correct in linking Net Neutrality and Obamacare

Republicans want both internet access and healthcare to go to the highest bidder

As they should.

Free ride fuckers need to just get over it.

It is going to end.

And how will this help the consumer?

Great. Net neutrality does not regulate the internet. It simply prohibits companies like Comcast from restricting the free and fair exchange of ideas.

False, it changes the internet from a title I utility to a title II utility - allowing the FCC to regulate it the way they do telephone and cell phone service.

Having the FCC regulate the internet is the stupidest idea leftists have ever come up with.

It is just a way to eventually force the big companies to give free internet and free computers to the welfare slugs, just like with the damned phones.

 

[BullKurtz]

Here's where we in the Tea Party have to rein in the country club GOPers......everybody gets the same service period. I went from a download speed of 15mg to 40mg and nothing changed so the ISPs are lying to everybody.....it's a stock manipulation same as what got us in the derivatives mess.....no changes....net neutrality.

Welp, I know who doesnt understand what this debate is about then.

If you like the exact same doctor you have had, and you like the exact same insurance you have had, you can keep them, except, you really can't.


Like Burger King and "Have it your way".

Even if they try, they fuck it up.

 

[BullKurtz]

Barry has no power....wait....most presidents have no power over the FCC....Barry say YES WE CAN! The internet is now so necessary for ordinary life that it must be treated like any other utility.....the man in the shotgun shack pays the same kilowatt hour price as the man in the mansion.....we're all equal in that regard.

Hey, trust the Democrats. They never lie!!

It goes beyond censorship and government control. It is Obama using the interweb to read our thoughts. He must be stopped at all costs
