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"typically Cruzian" the Senator who sponsored the "Renewable Fuel Standard Repeal Act", which would have immediately repealed the ethanol mandate, has now reversed course and claims to support continued Iowa Corn Subsidies.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

Already debunked, right here on this site.

You’ll do anything to stop a conservative, won’t you?
Cruz is panderlicious!
Well, they can evolve and sell out their principles all they want, but they might as well not expect me to go with them off that cliff.
Everything I see on this forum constantly reinforces my decision to stick with Cruz and to reject Trump.
Read the Hot air article I posted. That drive by guy drove by too fast!
Only because of my given by Jesus himself political abilities.
Or simply paying attention to facts and not leftist propaganda. It’s one of those for sure.
Not only is that reversed but FR has become a hive of Cruz birtherism. On another thread the loons were yelling about Cruz's Obama-like "sealed records" and "hidden birth certificate"....complete fabrication and fantasy, but such is the nature of unbridled lunacy.
Note that they all voted for Romney and all his hard liberalism. But a conservative Ted Cruz is mocked without ceasing.
Liberals gotta lib.
Earlier I read that Trump is gonna win with Dem votes so just like the GOP said, we arent needed. We have been replaced by people more in tune with them politically.
You’ve been here a lot longer than I have. Has there been another election season in which Freepers were excited that their candidate would appeal to Democrats?
Never mind, LOL
Sure. 12.
Yeah, I caught myself
Every election there’s a fanatical group that does it’s damnedest to torpedo the most conservative person running and every year they get their way. Too bad the country loses but hey, WINNING is what matters to them. Not America.
Heh-Heh
Did the legislation have any prayer of passing, or was it just another example of Ted's tilting at windmills to put something on the record that had no chance of passing. The Iowa folks were apparently confused:

Maybe Ted is also confused as to what his position is/was, or probably he did start out for immediate repeal and then changed to a different position after getting push back.
Ted often seems to take a position, then get push back, then recall some different position from a previous year or from his senate campaign. Or he adopts a new position entirely. Has happened several times since his announcing for the presidency.
“Mitt Romney often seems to take a position, then get push back, then recall some different position from a previous year or from his senate campaign. Or he adopts a new position entirely. Has happened several times since his announcing for the presidency. “
Fixed it. And you voted for him.
You are simply and idiot.
Just look at that. “Good news, Macy’s stock in free-fall.” Really? All because they got on the wrong side of the narcissist. But he knows all he has to do is jerk the chain of his fan club, and they’ll do anything he says.
And what’s with that DISLOYAL crap?
