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"typically Cruzian" the Senator who sponsored the "Renewable Fuel Standard Repeal Act", which would have immediately repealed the ethanol mandate, has now reversed course and claims to support continued Iowa Corn Subsidies.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

Well he’s a flip flopping Dominionist liar. And his Illuminati wife is just creepy when she works with the Rothschilds to take over the world through her nefarious ways at Goldman Sachs.

I’m just glad we all have a place to go where we can all pretend to be something we arent. Other than DU or Stormfront I mean.

Yeah, it’s the same way here. We’re in a little rural village that isn’t even on most maps. Most anyone with who advocates abortion or Obamacare would be a transplant from the liberal northeast.

LOL

I have a particular loathing for Heidi Cruz. That woman invaded my email box and made me hit the delete button. Do you know how much trouble I had to go to?

Well yea. I mean at no point in history did heavy fundraising emails happen before Ted Cruz. He’s only doing this to try to stop the rightful ascension of the Chosen.

And did you see how he exploited his children? Damn child abuser if you ask me.

He was sitting there and reading a BOOK to those kids. I still remember how outraged I was, watching it happen right before my eyes.

Also, he wears flannel shirts.

He disgusts me.

That’s nothing. One day, I got FOUR WHOLE EMAILS from Ted. I had to press the delete button FOUR TIMES! I almost had a heart attack!

I think what I hate about him most is that he has done so many things that no one ever has to try to get elected.

Do you know that ‘man’, if I may use the term he clearly does not deserve, went as far as to actually do his job? I swear it’s true. He stood up on the Senate floor and did exactly what we wanted him to do.

WTF is wrong with him? How freaking clueless is he? Now it goes without saying that just because we want Obamacare and abortion defunded, it doesn’t mean he should make an attempt to do it!!! Look at the trouble he caused! And he called Mitch a liar to his face! Just like we all wish we could!!!!!!! (and 36 additional exclamation points if just and righteous anger)

Bastard.

Oh, my God. I’m sorry you had to go through that.

Did you look into maybe getting some therapy for it? There’s no shame.

Bastard.

I know Ted. Nice guy, but he's terrible.

You know, I've never heard him say that he wants to make America great again. Really. I haven't.

So what does that tell you? Some people say it's because he wants to make America worse.

Look, I'M not saying that. But some people are. And you know, that's something Cruz is going to have to deal with.

It's probably best that I bring it up now before the Democrats do.

I say it because he's a good guy. But he's terrible.

-- Donald Trump (next week)

Maybe you could find a school that had a pickup drive by with a confederate flag sticker and see about counseling with one of the many psych types sure to be mobbing the place?

Really, no one should have to endure that.

He refuses to recognize articles from Redstate because this one flies in the face of his liberal attempt to smear a conservative.

He also refuses to recognize the veracity of anything that proves what a liar he is.

No, I think I’ll just put on Xanadu, my pink strappy heeled roller skates and go have a good cry.
