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"typically Cruzian" the Senator who sponsored the "Renewable Fuel Standard Repeal Act", which would have immediately repealed the ethanol mandate, has now reversed course and claims to support continued Iowa Corn Subsidies.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

So, I see that Sundance is bringing this fight against Cruz here to free republic. Not bad enough to have a hate site against him only at Conservative Treehouse. Sundance appears at this site to be a christian-leaning person, but all the comments are beyond the pale.
I think our real Enemy, Satan, is trying to derail our electing a real conservative and unfortunately he is suing people who would otherwise be friends and more reasonable. Whoever Satan wants to take our Cruz, it seems to me that it only makes him a better candidate.

Some people will ONLY hear what they want to hear, and like the leftists, block all that does not fit their agenda. I’ve heard all these things that have been brought up about Cruz and I have done my own investigations because I don’t want to be duped. He’s not perfect, but Jesus is not running. There are a couple things I’d prefer he had not supported or voted for it to come up to the floor for a vote, but his record is out there in facts. So far, I’ve not seen anything that disqualifies him, especially when compared to the rest of them. He is the most consistently conservative running this cycle.

All you have to know about this situation is that the people screaming loudest about Cruz all voted for Mitt Romney. They somehow managed to put his open baby killing liberalism aside. But Ted is a bridge too far.

They are liberals by deed.

Satan already has Cruz, if we define the New Apostolic Reformation, Prosperity pimps, Glenn Beck and the Dominionists to be Satanic, that is.

Just so you know, the award for biggest fraud on the thread was already awarded to the stolen valor case. No need to keep trying.

You really need to read Acts 15 much more carefully, as it is exactly the opposite of what you appear to be convinced it is.

What the council was opposed to was the false man made “oral Torah” that imposed hundreds of nit picking ‘ordinances’ on the people “the burden that no man could bear,” such as “the washing of the hands” and the order one had to put on their socks and shoes. The Takanot and Ma’assim, and the imposition of circumcision.

The council’s recommendation to the new believers was To hear Moses read every Sabbath day in their synagogue.

Rage on in your blindness as you wish.

You are totally lost!

What are you going to do when you run out of hate for God’s servant, Ted Cruz?

He is always raging.

Just not always on the same target.

I pity the people that live in his neighborhood.

Nope, nowhere does it say that. It says specifically, "circumcision and the law of Moses." As proof: Not even you cultists are keeping all 613 laws of the Old Testament, including circumcision, or commandments regarding beards, clothes, etc.

All that said, you guys should really move this dispute to a Religious thread. Maybe start up a brand new thread for it, and I'll happily whip you anti-Trinitarian anti-Bacon fools there.

I smell another closet Hebrew Roots cultist! FYI, denying the Trinity and demanding Christians uphold Jewish law won't help the "Oh, we're all committed Christians! Stop touching God's [Ted Cruz] anointed!" spiel.

Truly a troubling post back there....not sure “Lost” is the word needed...but surely the snaps got misaligned.

Meanwhile thought you’d enjoy these short video’s introducing Cruz on his Caucus tour....quite moving...

Actually no Mr. Duke. But I smell human garbage and it comes from your posts. So it must be you.

Another thought occurred to me: You must be an idiot who doesn't know what the Hebrew Roots cult is, and thinks I'm referring to Orthodox Jews or something?

Your first clue should have been when Editor-- a Gentile-- was appealing to the New Testament, not the Old.

Trump is also ignoring Rural flyover country and insulting us like when he said Iowans were stupid.

If, as the polls suggest, Trump's strongest segment is Democrat voters, I wonder if they will change their registration in order to vote in a Republican presidential primary (where such is required).

In a close race, that could be a major problem for Trump.

.
The term “The Law of Moses” is used interchangeably for both Torah, and the Pharisees Takanot and Ma’assim in the Greek translations.

They were obviously translated by someone not knowledgeable in the Judaic culture. They are peppered with hundreds of such cultural pitfalls.

Understanding simply requires careful reading, and remembering what is established in each epistle, and understanding that the word of God has no contradictions.

Romans clearly states that “Doers of the law will be justified.” The epistles clearly record that they kept every Sabbath, and every appointed time.

Actually I do Mr Duke and your thinly veiled BS is openly obvious since you are going after Biblical Jews.
