Senator Ted Cruz listens to Iowa farmers, supports Renewable Fuel Standard (Ethanol) through 2022

Wasn't he was AGAINST the RFS before he was FOR it.

Yes. The RFS was on his list along with sugar subsidies to be repealed.

Looks like crony capitalism is just okay in Ted's eyes.

Cruz has been offering up everything but the kitchen sink lately.

That’s what he said....but with the birther thing and his corker vote, H1B bill, and everything else this guy is doing, and now hiding his information....another obuma as far as I’m concerned....but Trump will take the heat for it and then be proven right again, and the cruz idiots will still continue to act like he’s Saint Cruz...

And with what Jim has come out and said, I really don’t know if I even want to be on here anymore...we have to have discussions on these matters, if it were Trump I would want to know...

The Cruzers on this forum will find some way to say Ted is still principled and that there is some valid constitutional reason for him flipping his position....Of course, Cruz isn’t like the rest of the politicians and never panders, so there must be some other reason for him changing his position. /s/

Of course, his critics are now saying that Cruz is pandering, that he’s gone soft, even flip flopped on ethanol in order to get the Iowa vote. But this is simply not the case.

Once again, Amanda Carpenter steps in to explain that Cruz’s support for a 5-year phase out is simply nothing new:

“I just listened to the Cruz audio. He said what he’s always said. RFS should be a 5 year phase out. It’s what his legislation said in 2014”

Even liberal reporter Dave Weigel is flummoxed by those alleging that Cruz is flip-flopping

“Don’t understand the “Cruz flip flopped on RFS” charge. He’s always been for a 5 year phase out. If he takes office in 2017, that ends 2022. It honestly feels like a pressure group trolled Cruz and asked reporters who don’t cover ethanol (uh, hi) to fall for it.”

Yes....he was AGAINST it until today and he's also flip flopped re H1-Bers, AMNESTY, the wall, and TPA/TPP !

I may have left out some things, but wait a day or two and the "consistent" flipper will change another position.

Yet Trump changed his mind about a few things MANY years ago, and the wrath of the "PURISTS" come down on him and us.

Flip-flops did not work out great for Romney. Why is Cruz following that road? He flipped on path to legal status to illegals, and now on corn subsidies. I guess both issues do not affect the constitution. Therefore Cruz has the right to flip on those?
