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"typically Cruzian" the Senator who sponsored the "Renewable Fuel Standard Repeal Act", which would have immediately repealed the ethanol mandate, has now reversed course and claims to support continued Iowa Corn Subsidies.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

“but the one thing that niggles in the back of my head is that Trump, just before he kicked off, had a substantial conversation with Bill Clinton.”

I like Clinton, but that conversation didn’t sound right to me either. And I didn’t like Trump’s answer when he was called out on it. It sticks in the back of my mind too.

My question is, who told the media they had that conversation?
We’ll see.

Yes, I do. I think he was a decent President. I would take him over Obama and his wife any day of the week.

You have a problem with that?

I'd love to hear more.

Of course you would, there is no lie or piece of propaganda you won't swallow hook, line and sinker if it fits you distorted delusions.

We have no way of knowing who he is.

But we do know who he isn’t.

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!

You do know the Messiah Himself obeyed the laws of kashruth? So much for emulating His way, as evidently you don't care about what He thought was important:

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. The Greek word for "iniquity" is from the root nomos, meaning "law." Literally, it means "ye that work lawlessness." The 'will of the Father' is in His Word: the Torah, the LAW of Moses, which you disparage.

Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

So although one is saved by grace, obedience to the Mosaic Law would appear to be the standard of Judgment. So whether you agree or not, I do suggest you refrain from disparaging it.

Another fake anti-Cruz story from the same Establishment activists.

Proverbs 23:9 - "Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, for he will despise the good sense of your words."

So given that you do despise me and ignore the good sense of my words, that would render you...

What am I missing here? How do you know who he isn't, and why is that?

I'm sorry, I have rarely posted on any of "her" threads, and even more rarely to her.

At least this long time FReeper and out and proud Trump supporter is honest about his love of Obamacare and hope that Trump will make it even better.

“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” (John 8:44)

Thank You, Lord, for Your Word! Hallelujah!

BFAC was suspended a few weeks ago after having a raging fit, cursing others and vowing revenge on numerous FReepers.

It was all very revealing.

Are you seriously another Hebrew roots weirdo? God help me, they're crawling all over the place! FYI:

"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer." (1Ti 4:1-5)

So although one is saved by grace, obedience to the Mosaic Law

FYI, this was settled by the Apostles in Acts 15, standing up to the believing Pharisees who demanded that men be "circumcised and keep the law of Moses."

Which is of course, the Christian thing to do.
