30% Ben? Push the plunger!!! ... 30% and we’re done ... What a waste of time ... Ben has no idea what he is proposing ... 10% ethanol and look at the price of meat ... 30% ethanol and only a doctor will be able to afford the price of a piece of meat.

your car should be replaced often ... It is good for the economy.

Writer Jazz Shaw about as knowledgeable as Carson. ‘Cornhuskers’ are Nebraskans, Iowans are ‘Hawkeyes’.

Remember Dr. Ben said he would consider limiting certain firearms in urban areas...

I don’t remember that part of the Second Amendment.

Walker has long been maligned about flipping on ethanol by a lot of people, including some Cruzers here on FR.

Readers have a right to know the truth on Walkers longstanding ethanol position, one he articulated again in his Iowa speech.

+++

Walker on ethanol, March 7, 2015

“While I do not support the mandate, I do not have a problem with ethanol...”

“However, it is clear to me that a big government mandate is not the way to support the farmers of this state...”

“Central planning will not help our family farmers, protect our environment, or provide jobs.”

“The free enterprise system must drive innovation to relieve our dependence on foreign oil, not mandates from the state or federal government.”

Ben has no idea what he is proposing ...

Carson is no dummy. I think he knows exactly what he is proposing. He's willing to not only support, but expand a horrible program in exchange for votes.

It might be a smart move politically, But it's repugnant on all other levels. Carson is off my list.

Ben Carson needs to stick with surgery.

He flip-flopped. Spin it any which way you want to.

Recommend a minimum of one burka for all American males as preparatory fan before the shite prep with full automatic weaponry known to fit underneath. Just in case ....

It isn’t good for your car

Or your lawn mower engine. Or your boat engine. But it is good for votes in a key primary. Evidently that's all that matters for some (or even most) politicians.

Biodiesel is actually hard to find. I have the perfect vehicle to modify to run on treated cooking grease, but I’m a renter, not a homeowner and have nowhere to store the equipment I’d need.

It’s good for the gasket companies. I had to rebuild two Hollyes because the alcohol ate accelerator pumps. They last 2 years and the alcohol destroys them...then dumps raw fuel on the hot engine.

Safe as hell...

As nicely and respectfully as I have seen it said. Ben, gracefully go away. There are other ways you can use your talent, the presidency is not one.
