39. Brilliant!

Seriously this is an absolutely brilliant move by the Tea Party wing of the GOP. They are clearly carrying the water for the corporatist wing of the party (that would be the entire party right?). They have crafted a winnable messaging meme imo.

The GOP hates anything that the Cable Cos and Telcos hate (Net Neutrality), but have not found a way to attack it especially with a name like Net Neutrality.

This line of attack obscures their real motives and let's them stand on their principled positions of keeping Government out of our lives, etc. This is a very smart and might be a winning strategy.

The biggest problem they face is they are up against EVERYONE except the biggest whores in the GOP and the biggest idiots, which is why Ted Cruz is carrying this flag.
