I am a Trump supporter, but I salute Cruz for taking his principled stand

Principled? He is backed by big oil, he had no choice. Typical weasel politician.

“He is backed by big oil,”

He is backed by free enterprise Americans like me.

Exactly who is the ‘big oil’ you are referring to?

Do you even realize that the proverbial ‘Seven Sisters’ of old literature has been whittled down to a paltry 4 now? These 4 control a minority of the petroleum activity in this country or elsewhere.

‘Big Oil’ hearkens back to a time prior to OPEC. It is no longer. The only ‘big oil’ around anymore is the oil-producing countries of the world, not oil companies, who practice monopolistic practices to manipulate world supply and oil price.

And OPEC thank God is getting throttled badly as it has lost control of the market due to the innovation of oil companies, including big oil companies, that produce the oil and gas we use in this country.

Your anger is misplaced, friend.
