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"typically Cruzian" the Senator who sponsored the "Renewable Fuel Standard Repeal Act", which would have immediately repealed the ethanol mandate, has now reversed course and claims to support continued Iowa Corn Subsidies.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

Liberalism aways shows its real ugly head when under pressure and under truth.
No soild rock of Conservatism.
It's NOT according to Christ's teachings, and you are-- by Christian definition-- a heretic. By the way, you should stop with your mumbo jumbo and start a thread in the Religion forum. I'll gladly sort you out there.
Rush Limbaugh said on his show yesterday that most of Trump’s support is NOT coming from Conservatives who listen to talk radio, but rather most of Trump’s support is coming from blue collar Democrats.
Trump should switch parties and feel at home in the DNC and go up against Hillary.
Strange isn’t it ?
Trump and his minnions claim they want to make America Great again, but yet ?
They act like immature juveniles cheering on the laying off of 4,000 people.
Their rethoric of creating jobs just went down the tubes, they and Trump lost all credibility about creating jobs when they laugh at the demise of Macy’s.
BS !
Trump is a true Democrat Liberal.
Did you vote for Obama ?
BTW, Jesus Christ was saying that to the religious Pharaises, I hope you know that.
That is not applicable from one born again Christian to another, else ? You would be committing blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.
Molly doesn’t get mad, she gets even.
The problem with that ?
People Cant go around all their lives seeking revenge.
Vengeance belongs to God, and God alone.
FR has been infiltrated by the left, its no accident that they would go after the prime conservative web site out there.
But a principled conservative is expected to oppose ALL government subsidies, all the time, to special interests. Otherwise the principles go out the window and in comes political expediency. Also known as Flip-Flop, so richly deserved by Mitt Romney.
Already roundly disproved, and retracted.
Boy, and how! The problem then becomes, how does one get to the business of activism instead of constantly defending against barking moonbats?
What exactly have the ^true conservatives^ in congress accomplished?
Obamacare scrapped?
Illegals deported?
Wall built?
Anchor babies outlawed?
National debt reduced?
Abortion restricted?
China trade deficit reduced?
Food stamp growth curbed?
Welfare growth reduced?
Fraud in Medicare & Social Security under control? (25% of Medicare payments go to fraudulent claims, and there are tens of thousands of people over age 110 still getting social security checks automatically)
If Trump can deliver half of above agenda, he is more than enough conservative for most rational people.
Trump is conservative on these issues:
Pro life since at least 2011, wanted to ban partial birth abortion as far back as 2000.
Pro Traditional marriage. ^Gay rights is not my thing.^
Pro capital punishment ^Capital punishment isn't uncivilized; murderers living is^

Opposes ^Common core is a disaster^ Teach citizenship, quit ^dumbing down^.
Anti education unions (2000)

Doesn't have time for political correctness.
Not afraid to call out either party or both when they are wrong.
Not a puppet to rich campaign donors. Go Trump 2016! Born in America of two US Citizen Parents!
And most likely voted for Obama also.
The liberals who have infiltrated FR are showing their true colors.
There was this top dog big time Feminist about 10 years ago that was giving a commencement speech at a woman’s collage where she called upon all Feminist to go out and infiltrate all conservative organizations, churches, to go and infiltrate, subvert those institutions and take them over.
Looks like the same thing has happened here on FR without Jim Robinson’s notice.
Looks like the feminists took that Feminist’s leaders words seriously.
” disproven article “ and so the Trump supporters response “ WE DONT CARE “ .... so as long as it fits the narrative and Political agenda.
What has Ben Carson or anyone else for that matter have to do with this discussion ?
Besides, Ted Cruz is a Southern Baptist, they steadfastly believe in the Trinity.
Bacon ?

All food is for to eat, but if you feel your suppose to abstian from certain foods, that also is permissible in the New Convanant.
It, is not a her.
Answer ? Gay ?
No amount of Bible quoting will protect you, or keep God him self from exposing you for what you truly are.
You can’t hide behind religion or the Bible.
Never heard of the Bible saying that your sins will find you out ?
And so you think your the only one who is qualified to judge then ?
