>>Support American farmers by requiring origin labeling on food and buying American grown food.<<


This is actually a GREAT IDEA. But we would have to ditch the WTO/globalist trade agreements first. Such labeling would be a violation for sure. America would be slapped with significant fines by a foreign/globalist court and, amazingly, would comply with the creeps as it stands today rather than simply telling ‘em to put it where the sun don’t shine.

I’m a Trump supporter but I agree with Ted on this subject.

I think Trump is right...that the approach should be to change the numbers of the ethanol mandate....then go from there....cuz you know damn well they’re not going to cut the subsidies. But phase ethanol out...that could happen.

Yes I would regard it as a mistake. It is unseemly to betray privacy in that manner.

Do we know whether we can identify personal involvement by Ted Cruz?

Obama requires Israel to label goods

Support American farmers by requiring origin labeling on food and buying American grown food.

This is actually a GREAT IDEA.

Isn't this already the law? Or does this just apply to consumer goods and not food? I know that I check the labels on ground-contact crops (celery, lettuce, etc) to ensure I'm not geting something from Mexico at the local grocery. I just thought it was already done.

Perhaps it is assumed that such records are private. I gather that Iowa, like Tennessee, makes the records (of participation) public.

When I worked the ground game, for Joe Carr I had the list of Republican primary voters in my precinct on an app.

I did not mean to imply that the records were private as a matter of law which is why I said exposure was "unseemly" rather than illegal.

Depends on if you’re talking about getting more votes, or what is the right thing to do."""....

well said. I prefer doing the RIGHT thing even if the other is more profitable to me.

We have several stations that are selling non-ethanol premium, I use it in my car and get almost a full mile per gallon more. It is worth the extra $5 to fill my tank.

Public Records...That may be so.....But do you think the fact that they all have a 55% record is contained in those "Public Records". I don't think so.

I bet there's a big fat disclaimer someplace.

They certainly have no business snitching to me on my neighbor or on me to my neighbor.

Start posting them on the utility poles and see what happens.

vote-buying"""".....

Correct. Anyone really think that Trump has the best interest of the people of IOWA?

Remember just this one thing with his Freudian Slip of the tongue when he called them STUPID......from the heart speaks the mouth.

I think it is also right to draw a distinction between wholesale broadcast of other people's voting histories and selected distribution of that same information to operatives in the field, doorbell ringers etc., who use the information to call on potential voters.

This sort of solicitation was done through breakthrough data mining efforts conducted by the Obama campaign in 2012, all as reported in Massachusetts Institute of Technology magazine in an extensive three-part article. That article is significant if it is to be credited because it claims that we have experienced, perhaps under the radar, a revolution in the way elections are to be conducted.

The whole art of polling a portion of a population to extrapolate to the whole is in effect reversed and with the power of computers the campaign operatives can pinpoint the voters, analyze them, and prepare a psychological approach to equip doorbell ringers to get individuals to the polling booth on time.

This is also an invasion of privacy but somehow, even when conducted by Obama, it seems to be legitimate.

Is there no rationalization to which supporters of Donald Trump will not resort?

Apparently not.
