2011 establishes a baseline. So since you are so absolutely certain, please provide said citation.
Why are you trying to eliminate comments? Usually that means you have lost the argument.
I'm not. I'm against character assassination with minimal support, just as you posted here. I supported my argument, that Cruz has ALWAYS said he would carry forward ethanol to 2017 as part of a phase out program. So unless you can prove that he no longer means to phase it out, then you have no argument and the post constitutes character assassination by selective excerpt, which I won't tolerate against a conservative.
In this case there was a valid public release from an ethanol official and surly that deserved some scrutiny and some response. Again:
ARF state director Eric Branstad said: Farmers and rural communities across Iowa are going to be encouraged by Sen. Cruz's remarks. He is clearly listening to the people of Iowa and understands the importance of the Renewable Fuel Standard to America's economy and energy independence, as he started the caucus process calling for immediate repeal. While not perfect, this is a big step forward by Sen. Cruz.
If true, pray tell me that isn't a flip flop. Or show me a retraction. Or tell me the guy is a flat out liar. But don't tell me it isn't post-worthy.
