America’s Renewable Future.
LOL yeah, they’re a reliable source of info.
“the ad says. “There are millions of reasons Ted Cruz supports Big Oil instead of Iowa farmers”
MILLIONS ?
Name 2, and I’m for Trump.
Cruz has never hid his position on this.
I fail to see the problem.
Cruz opposes corporate welfare to Archer Daniels Midland.
I wonder who Annette Sweeney supports or who is paying for the add.
Opposing Welfare (corporate or individual) is a bedrock principle of conservatism.
Absolutely, politicians like Ted Cruz, those that actually do the job of representing their constituents in the manner they promised to during their campaigns are the worst most despicable kind, how dare they have the courage and integrity of their convictions. The bastards!
“God has blessed America with abundant natural resources and we ought to be producing everything ... but it shouldn’t be Washington picking winners and losers,”
-Ted Cruz

The left is getting more and more scared of Cruz.
Right. This rhetoric of this ad is right out of the liberal democrat playbook. Hope this crony capitalism supporting attack ad doesn’t work.
Response ad:
Corn is food.
Ethanol is an expensive fuel that ruins engines and INCREASES pollutants per mile.
Don’t let politicians use your tax dollars to subsidize food waste and automotive inefficiency.
This is why Iowa should not be first.
Nor New Hampshire.
SOS.. same ol' $hit, Attack and diminish.
American politics.. stuck on stupid.
The Corn Lobby backs this punitive tax and corporate welfare scheme on middle class Americans for the benefit of rich corporations:
“A bipartisan team is co-chairing America’s Renewable Future: former Lt. Gov. Patty Judge, a Democrat; former state Rep. Annette Sweeney, a Republican; and Bill Couser, president of Couser Cattle Company and co-founder of Lincolnway Energy.
The effort is being financed by the Iowa Corn Growers Association, the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association, Growth Energy and other partners, organizers said.”
Looks like an article I’d read, but the Washington Examiner site is so annoying with the way it takes up more than half the screen with a persistent banner and ad. Since I block JavaScript, it leaves only 3-5 lines of text available to read on each screen. It’s amazing just how stupid so many webpage developers are.
It takes political courage to campaign in Iowa and openly oppose ethanol.
Free enterprise under attack by some piggies attached to the teat of government subsidies. Squeal little piggies squeal, it is easier than competing where the market not the government determines the winners.
What is the difference between “Big Oil” and “Big Corn”?
The position Cruz has taken makes perfect sense to me-why should we pay subsidies to farmers for producing a food crop not to be used as food for both animals and humans, but to be burned to produce a costly and inefficient vehicle fuel?
