All Hell Breaks Loose On Ted Cruz’s FB Page As Conservatives Go On The Attack

All Hell Breaks Loose On Ted Cruz’s FB Page As Conservatives Go On The Attack
November 12, 2014


Earlier this week President Obama gave an interview on a Sunday talk show where he talked again about his support for Net Neutrality. So naturally the crazy Conservatives immediately came out against it. Ted Cruz posted to his Twitter account saying that a neutral internet was the same thing as Obamacare for the web.


He also quickly posted to his Facebook page a similar, and equally ignorant, comment. Honestly, the only thing that his posts really prove is that he doesn’t have a clue about what Net Neutrality really is….or Obamacare, for that matter.


But before you go getting all frustrated with this latest example of right-wing stupidity, I think I have something that will make you smile and brighten your day. And it comes from perhaps an unlikely source. Following Cruz’s Facebook post, even Republicans came out telling Teddy what a complete buffoon he is here.

I know that we on the left are used to lashing out at the Tea Party and Ted Cruzes in our country, but when even his own team is calling him out, it makes me think that maybe, just maybe, there is hope for this nation.


go to the link and read the comments...priceless!

Or maybe even most of them. Not by a long shot. If Obama endorsed breathing, some of them would put plastic bags over their heads.

And Mrs. Obama could put out something about how breathing is good for you. They'd all give it up.

It would solve a lot of problems.

Makes me smile thinking about it.

People on both sides are feeling the squeeze and seeing the mediocrity that comes with a privatized monopolistic Internet and they want the madness to end.

The comments about google being every bit as corrupt made me laugh though especially when it comes to providing a better service. Clearly those simpletons have never heard of google fiber.

Personally, I like the one that said "STOP making my Party look like morons."

mostly, I just sigh that they know it's happening, and then chuckle 'cause they think they should have gotten something DIFFERENT for their hate.

lead me to believe they're not from Republicans/conservatives. Still, they belong on the FB page of Cruzin' for Cash.

... Ted Cruz would automatically state his opposition to oxygen.

Cruz' picture should be in the dictionary under "buffoon."

Considering the bile I have seen slung by RW trolls, I found them remarkable mild and restrained. Disappointing really.
I expect better from them...er, dem.

court litigator. He knows what net neutrality is but he also knows that a good lawyer can argue a lie as easily as the truth.

As a Texas prosecutor said, "Anyone can convict a guilty man. It takes talent to convict an innocent one."

Cruz is going to hammer Obama with outright lies until the GOP convention in 2016.

is so many of them know he is straight out lying to them. Yet they do not even question that if he can lie so easily about this, what else had he lied about in the past? No curiosity or critical thinking skills there.
