I applaud President Obama’s leadership on #NetNeutrality. We must ensure fair & equal access to the Internet! http://t.co/g87LMKT67c

Great #NetNeutrality plan from @WhiteHouse to keep the internet open and free. Read about it here: http://t.co/pIWKFe4djr

Glad Pres. Obama agrees @FCC should reclassify broadband Internet service under Title II of Telecommunications Act–a commonsense solution.

An open and free Internet is for everyone. President @BarackObama, thanks for supporting Net Neutrality http://t.co/wMkWDE64A7

"Net Neutrality" is Obamacare for the Internet; the Internet should not operate at the speed of government.

— Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) November 10, 2014

@SenTedCruz: Net Neutrality is Obamacare for Internet is like saying free markets are Obamacare for capitalism. You can't be that clueless?

@SenTedCruz that rhetoric wouldn't pass 8th grade debate club. Affordable access for all seems good. And you admit gov is slow & useless?

@SenTedCruz You're already ruining the country, leave the internet alone please.

You, sir, are stupid. RT @SenTedCruz "Net Neutrality" is Obamacare for the Internet; the Internet should not operate at the speed of gov't.

I'd love to stop comparing net neutrality to Obamacare except the Obama admin is using the exact same language to sell their argument.

— S.M (@redsteeze) November 10, 2014

Don't let government bureaucrats come between your doctor or your internet which is why we're going to put the government in charge of both!

— S.M (@redsteeze) November 10, 2014

Yes the oompa loompas who built http://t.co/CWak499HV6 want to tell you what's in the best interest of the interwebz

— S.M (@redsteeze) November 10, 2014

More big gov: Admin wants Internet regulated same as utilities http://t.co/Rbk01qr2Ge

.@DLoesch Ahh, more gov't is always the solution to our problems, whether those problems actually exist or not.

@DLoesch Sensing a new Czar on the horizon. And more tax $. Got to find more ways to grow govt.

Hey, you want to fuck up the internet? Have the government get involved. #NetNeutrality

— RB (@RBPundit) November 10, 2014

Exactly. Keep gov out of it. RT @netflix Pres. @BarackObama agrees: consumers should pick winners and losers on the Internet

— RB (@RBPundit) November 10, 2014

The cost of getting internet service has been steadily declining for years. The minute the govt gets involved that will end. #NetNeutrailty

— RB (@RBPundit) November 10, 2014

Reducing the Internet to a public utility is just the thing to break Obama's approval ratings down into the 20s.

— Phil Kerpen (@kerpen) November 10, 2014

“@ThePlumLineGS: Ted Cruz: Net neutrality is "Obamacare for the Internet." Paul Ryan: "Dodd Frank is Obamacare for banks."Both right!

— Instapundit.com (@instapundit) November 10, 2014

@instapundit What Obama is really about: control. Last week it was health care. This week, the internet. http://t.co/89v1lQPGz9
