Ted Cruz managed to get through Harvard Law School, so he can't very well be dumb. But he sure does seem like it some times. Or is he just playing dumb to rev up his political base of dumb people? And would that make him a sociopath, causing great harm to this country without any sense of wrong-doing and remorse?
Either way, Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) put him in his place yesterday in an interview with Candy Crawley on CNN's "State of the Union."
In this case, the former comedian and Saturday Night Live star outshines the Harvard Law grad . . . by a country mile or two.
According to Franken, Cruz just "doesn't understand" what net neutrality is. In a Washington Post op-ed, Cruz has called net neutrality "Obamacare for the internet" because, according to him, "it would put the government in charge of determining Internet pricing, terms of service and what
types of products and services can be delivered.”
That is totally false. Net neutrality is what we've had ever since the internet came into existence. What is being proposed now by content providers would change that. The push for net neutrality is to keep it the way it has always been.
Franken explained -- and let's hope someone tells Cruz this -- that "Obamacare
was a government program that fixed something, that changed things. [Net neutrality] is about reclassifying something so it stays the
same. This would keep things exactly the same that they've been.”
