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"typically Cruzian" the Senator who sponsored the "Renewable Fuel Standard Repeal Act", which would have immediately repealed the ethanol mandate, has now reversed course and claims to support continued Iowa Corn Subsidies.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

I posted your words. No lie on my part. Jews don’t believe Jesus was the son of God. Not my fault you are so poorly educated Mr. Duke.

Just curious. Is your tagline a gay thing? Because with all the leftist crap you spout I can’t be sure.

Nope, you lied and claimed I was calling Jews (I do not know why you would cite them, and not Muslims or Buddhists, since I nowhere mentioned Jews) "cultists." Nowhere is that there. When I said "you," I was clearly talking to two weirdos who think I'm going to hell for eating bacon.

So, then, can you actually quote the wording, or will you just repeat your lame, filthy lies?

In other words, you know your lying, but just want to throw crap out, just like with your lame gay-baiting. Get bent, dummy!

In a conversation about the Old Testament, Vikings or Hindus arent the Anti-Trinitarians. That leaves one people you are calling cultists Mr Duke.

Let’s remember Macy’s dumped Trump with this statement:

“Macy’s said the company “stands for diversity” and that it had no tolerance for discrimination.”

All because Trump referred to immigrants from Mexico and other countries “killers and rapists.”

Macy’s stock is in free fall because they’re mismanaged. Is anyone surprised they have no integrity to their employees, when we already know Macy’s has no loyalty to their business partners like Trump, as well?

Perhaps the employees will consider that when voting next year, and will vote for the person who best suits Macy’s!

Nope, but the "you" certainly changes your complete stupidity, which is why you won't present the offending quote :). By the way, it's weird that you would hold Jews personally offended, and not Vikings, Hindus or Muslims. If what you say is true, I called them all cult-members. See how desperate your lies are?

Too cute by hald Mr. Duke. Anti Trinitarian cultist was the phrase. Jews do not believe in Jesus. Do the math. Any reader her can.

You also called a Southern baptist something completely false as well I believe. Dominionist was it? Bigotry all across the spectrum.

Mmmhmm, and who was I talking to? Actual religious cultists:

"The Hebrew Roots Movement is a heretical cult that has many factions. Therefore, it is difficult to explain all of their doctrines. The crux of their heresy is that they deny the atonement of Christ by denying that He fulfilled the Mosaic Law. They further deny the work of the Holy Spirit by rejecting the “Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus” (The indwelling of the Holy Spirit) that sets us free from the law of sin and death (the Mosaic Law) (Romans 8: 1-4)."

The Hebrew Roots Movement

Try again Norman Liar! You couldn't pin me on this, but maybe if you keep trolling me you'll find something that doesn't implode after a few posts.

No need. Words mean things.

It’s my bedtime. But in expectation of more of your repetitive denial in the face of reality I’ll just point out in the past few days you managed to go from a thread defending an admitted Bill Clinton supporter, to posting a screed lying about a Southern Baptist to this one trashing Jews and any other non believer in Jesus based on your very flawed Dogma.

Good luck with that Mr. Duke.

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.

Yes, but sadly, all to many are regulars. That's what's nuts. Sometimes I wonder if these folks even know what Conservatism even is. *shakes head*

Meanwhile, I'm being viciously attacked by religious cultists because I'm not "Christian" enough!

Nonsense. I merely explained to you why your vicious slur against any person who keeps kosher is not according to Christ's teachings, bigoted, and won't be tolerated. Your behavior gives conservatives a bad name and disparages this forum.

As I told you before Free Republic has been infiltrated and have been taken over by liberals who pretend they are Republicans and Conservative.

Rush Limbaugh confirmed it today on his show saying that most of Trump’s support is NOT coming from Conservatives who listen to conservative talk radio but Trump’s most support is coming from blue collar Democrats.

Most of Trump’s support is from Democrats no matter how much the Trump supporters here claim he is some how comservative.

If the Trump supporters have a issue with that then take it up with Rush Limbaugh , not me.

Yeah, Rush now can be accused of DTDS Donald Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Truth doesn’t matter with the Trump supporters, the narrative and their Political liberal agendas do.

They don’t even hide their liberalism anymore, no more pretense.
