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"typically Cruzian" the Senator who sponsored the "Renewable Fuel Standard Repeal Act", which would have immediately repealed the ethanol mandate, has now reversed course and claims to support continued Iowa Corn Subsidies.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

Once a lying troll, always a lying troll.

I understand your frustration. You put all your hopes, to the exclusion of anyone else, in Cruz thinking he was a solid conservative. Then he voted for the corker bill, and you said it doesn't really matter. Then Cruz not only voted for TPA, it was his leadership that got it through congress. At this point you should have realized that you had been had. But no, in total denial, you press on in your support for Cruz. Then it comes to light that Cruz supports amnesty and is taking millions from the cheap labor pro amnesty groups CFG and GS. But at this point you are so vested and been so willing to overlook all his other faults, that this is just one more thing. Then come the boom! it turns out Cruz is not even eligible to be POTUS. I'd be lashing out at everybody just like you if I were as much of an idiot as you are in supporting Crus.

A lot of thos throwing crap aren't regular posters. They may have sign up dates years ago but if you look far enough, you'll find them showing up for elections and disappearing for years in between.

A couple weeks ago I had one post an attack on Heidi Cruz to me in a thread that was 7 months old. The kicker was the fact that this one hadn't posted for 11 years before that.

11 years has to be some sort of sleeper troll record. Also interesting was he had a friend who just happened to be looking at that 7 month old thread within minutes of the post to me. (I pinged Catherine)

We recently discovered that BlackFemaleArmyCaptain is neither Black, Female, Army, nor a Captain.

Who knows what his agenda is.

I heard there were stolen valor issues with that one. I asked it directly and it just babbled.

People need to read it’s post history before taking anything that it has to say seriously.

I am remarking on the hero worship of the Cruz followers who trash Trump even though their fair haired boy is both stupid and a liar. The language used by Cruz’s people shows what level of society they belong in. The pits.

Trump panicked when he brought up the eligibility issue about Cruz.

Don’t even try to tell me he’s not panicking.

He cannot stand for anyone to creep up on him. Look what he did to Ben Carson when Ben was leading in a lot of polls.

What you will never understand is that liars like you will have a real comeuppance when all of the children of the Father of the lie are sent to where they belong: Outer Darkness.

The cheering will be eternal.

You think there is no penalty? Ha!

Interesting. I haven’t seen him, her or it lately. How did you find out about her identity?

He freaked out in a thread a few weeks ago.

Then was suspended.

You really think you are qualified to judge? You’re even more delusional then I though possible.

Just read your post and am wondering about it. Who did you discover "he" is and how?
