Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Monday compared net neutrality to Obamacare shortly after President Obama expressed support for net neutrality.
“Net Neutrality” is Obamacare for the Internet; the Internet should not operate at the speed of government.

Cruz’s communications director Amanda Carpenter followed suit with alarmist tweets about net neutrality.
Net neutrality puts gov’t in charge of determining pricing, terms of service, and what products can be delivered. Sound like Obamacare much?

Just wait. Pretty soon, Obama will tell you “If you like your Internet, you can keep it.” #DontNeutertheNet

Obama on Monday urged the Federal Communications Commission to keep Internet providers from offering two different speeds of service and cutting deals with specific sites like Netflix to offer faster service. Keeping cable companies from offering faster speeds for a price would maintain net neutrality.
