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"typically Cruzian" the Senator who sponsored the "Renewable Fuel Standard Repeal Act", which would have immediately repealed the ethanol mandate, has now reversed course and claims to support continued Iowa Corn Subsidies.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

Never saw a true conservative give away America’s sovereignty as Cruz has done on more than one occasion. He’s just another slick politician bought and paid for by the establishment.

Selective memory is treatable with a bit of reading.

Greetings_Puny_Humans has never posted anything factual to this forum, and this thread is no exception.

Greetings_Puny_Humans is a disgusting liar to his core.

Once a lying troll, always a lying troll.

You’re batting 1000 in the hole with the truth.

Every election there’s a fanatical group that does it’s damnedest to torpedo the most conservative person running and every year they get their way. Too bad the country loses but hey, WINNING is what matters to them. Not America.

What's absolutely damnable about it is that FR, the biggest whompin' Conservative thing there is on the net, SHOULD BE the primary source of Conservative activism - but here we are , mired neck deep in monkey poop.

Kinda makes me think that's the point.

You wouldn’t be alone based on facts in evidence.

I don’t need to do any more reading after all my research. Perhaps if you understood what you are prattling on about, you wouldn’t appear so clueless.

John 8:44...”You belong to your father, the devil...”

Despicable post, as usual, for you refuse to consider the source and check the facts before you run with a bogus story. So I'll see your citation to John and raise you Matthew 7:3

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Its not the rear view; Cruz is way in front, which is killing Trump.

You are aware you are posting that on a thread about a disproven article trashing Cruz right? Because the person that it looks like they don’t know what they’re talking about isn’t me.

It’s you. And hero worshiping your candidate places you in the same position as democrats at the Pillars of Styro. So good luck with that.

Shes a Bill clinton supporter. It’s no surprise. Check her post history from 4-5 days ago. She got called on it, the proof was posted and she rambled incoherently.

When you're condemned by a weirdo who is literally a member of a religious cult that denies the Trinity and insists people ought not eat bacon, I consider it an honor to be called "disgusting" by such an individual!

I hope you have all recovered and have accepted the fact that Cruz did not capitulate on ethanol. Although truth be known, like your other attacks on Cruz, some will always carry this with them as TRUTH.
