Professional Pandering -- Desperate Cruz, Dependent on Iowa, Flip-Flops on Ethanol Subsidies...

Posted on January 6, 2016 by sundance

In what can only be noted as "typically Cruzian" the Senator who sponsored the "Renewable Fuel Standard Repeal Act", which would have immediately repealed the ethanol mandate, has now reversed course and claims to support continued Iowa Corn Subsidies.

The pandering flip-flop becomes "brutally Cruzian" when the campaign for Ted Cruz denies the current change in position by pointing to a prior change in position; saying, in effect: when Senator Ted Cruz decided to run for President he changed his position, and in 2014 supported a five year phase out of the Renewable Fuel Standard.

So candidate Cruz was against Iowa corn subsidy, 2013; then became for Iowa corn subsidy (with phase out), 2014, and now advocates on behalf of corn subsidy in 2016.

Just like Senator Cruz’s advocacy for the Corker/Cardin amendment (Iran Deal); and just like Senator Cruz’s advocacy for Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) within the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal; Ted Cruz is for them, until he becomes against them – only when the consideration of "them" is determined by the general approval of the electorate.

Got it.

"Cruzian" and "Clintonian" are now virtually synonymous.

[...] 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. (Iowa Corn Lobby)

Like one of them told me, “winning is the only principle I care about.”

Which drove them to destroy their own country. And they’re proud of it.

And how dare you not fall in line.

Well, forget that.

[Norm Lenhart]

Keep going. People can read your post history 4-5 days back. It lost you a lot of fans.

I’m done.

[Norm Lenhart]

Because I’m awesome! Hadn’t you heard? ;)

It would appear there is nothing beneath you.

Earlier I read that Trump is gonna win with Dem votes so just like the GOP said, we arent needed. We have been replaced by people more in tune with them politically.

in 2012 Rush Limbaugh warned that Mitt Romney was winning like a liberal but would lose the general election. Romney was skipping the small towns and campaigning almost exclusively in the suburban to urban areas while ignoring the small towns. Mitt Romney wasn't nasty to rural people but just ignored us.

Trump is also ignoring Rural flyover country and insulting us like when he said Iowans were stupid. His fans are even worse as we've seen rabid hate spewed at Christians right here at FR.

At this point he seems to have completely abandoned the idea of appealing to true conservatives and he simply won't win without us.

[Norm Lenhart]

Sure there is. The feces he rolls in before posting.

Times change. Fashions change. Eurasia is at war with Eastasia. And then Oceania is at war with Eurasia.

But the party prevails.

It’s a lesser evil. No matter what.
