Also donating money to every politician in Iowa.

This babe is also advocating formal Rico charges against the RNC. Campaign consulting is another way to say Oppo Research. And they only do it when they get paid. And when they get paid they are expected to dish some dirt. Go look at the story of Lauren Stephens and Tim Donnelly and then decoder de if her thoughts are worth reading. I think Paid Assassin.

The same one Teddy did with his buddy Paul Ryan. She connects the dots quite well, biff. But facts don’t interest you, do they?

Here’s some additional reading on that subject - written jointly by Ryan and Cruz. Now it makes sense why they did this TOGETHER....

The article is laughable in its assertions, but the zombies seem excited about it.

Why? The campaign is over, right? Trump has won, Cruz is a loser and has no chance.
Something tells me the Trump polling is telling them quite a different story. The way Trump keeps harping on nonsensical things like the Goldman Sachs margin loan, the more desperate he seems.
Now Mark Levin, a hero to the conservative movement is being attacked on FR for the cardinal sin of supporting a brave conservative who single handily has stood up to the GOPe.
Would never have believed it, but there it is.

Yes , it does make a difference whether an industry would even exist without a subsidy promoted by the EPA. There was just the red herring about crop insurance over the weekend , and Iowa gets its share there I’m sure. Cruz voted for that and a lot of the Freepers on the thread said that was pandering. But corn is another thing that would exist without subsidies and there would be a market for it. So, all subsidies are not created equal.

Bump. This needs to be read by all Trump supporters (wouldn't matter to Cruz supporters, how refuse to look at ALL of the abundant information on both candidates.)

I wonder if we need (or already have?) a ping list of good people, good conservatives, who'd give fair hearing to the plethora of testimonies like this one?

Doesn't Cruz remind you of either a slick car salesman or a TV evangelist trying to get old folks' money?

Woman is an idiot, there are no oil subsidies. In fact quite the opposite, the oil and gas industries pay billions and billions in income taxes to the treasury.

By your logic, since farmers pay taxes, they don't get any subsidies either.

In fact there are a lot of tax breaks for the oil industry. A little research on the internet would tell you that.

It is indeed. The author is “of the Borg”... the Trump “Borg”. Like all who become “of the Borg” she now sees all who do not worship Trump as fallen and as people in whose direction she should now cast aspersions. This has been a strange thing to behold among people who I thought had rational minds and conservative principles-—two things which the now do not hesitate to discard where they conflict with the Donald.

This is how it's done:

Open Letter to Mark Levin:

Cruz is not eligible under Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution. People following politics have known this since he ran for the Senate.

Pull your head out of your puckered sphincter.

Signed,

Your disgusted listeners

Levin backs NR

If anyone watched Hannity tonight

They would know they are in the tank

I feel sorry for Thomas Sowell, I still respect him but his letter wasn't that bad.

I think someone told Rich Lowry it's over and Trump is the nominee he seemed so depressed when he said it on Kelly File.

The point is that if Cruz’s is a real conservative, as he likes to say, he will stand against ALL subsidies-even oil.

Yet Trump is to the Fascist Left of OBAMA on federal subsidies for ETHANOL by his own words.

I truly worry about all this false-messiah worship. In 2008 it was Obama for the leftists. Today it's Trump for self-proclaimed Conservatives and average Americans.

Hear me - NO ONE, NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THESE GOP CONTENDERS is going to save us, or fix a DAMNED THING from DC.

The entire institution of government is corrupt and corrupted. No politician or businessman or any single person is going to be able to fix it from within a corrupted system.

All this nastiness over vain hopes in a political Savior is truly growing frightening.

Levin is called (or was called) by the greatest of them all, the inventor of conservative talk radio, Rush---Levin was called by Rush "the Great One."

Now Levin has lowered himself into the category of ex shock jock and morning zoo host Glenn Beck. To my knowledge Rush has never mentioned Beck. Beck isn't in the same solar system as Rush. Not in the same galaxy. But Levin, who had a great reputation with Rush and with Hannity, now cavorts with Glenn Beck, who never read or knew or cared about anything political, or about history or current events until he was middle aged, too old for the prank calls/Shock jock gig, and he and/or someone else thought a drunk playing phone pranks and Pink Floyd album sides (no offense to Pink Floyd) was QUALIFIED to enter the great industry that RUSH LIMBAUGH single-handedly created? THAT was an insult to Rush and all real conservative talk show hosts everywhere.

..That you could pull a guy out of the Morning Zoo program, a nomad from one city's morning zoo to another city's morning zoo, and he can turn into a conservative talk show host? At age 40?? While others worked on it solely for decades, applying themselves and learning and preparing and understanding, because they paid attention, current events and history.

I hope Levin gets on stage with Beck and we get a good photo. Levin deserves it. He has fallen so far and now lying in the Beck gutter, where you need a fire truck ladder just to get up to the street.

The point is that you can not pull the rug out from under an entire state all at once and you gain nothing but enemies by suggesting it.

All subsidies can and should be eliminated, but not all at once and not all at the same time.

“The sad fact is nearly everyone and everything is subsidized”

So says this “ brilliant” lady in her lame defense of Trump supporting ethanol subsidies.
Then she says no one has the balls to end it. I guess she never heard of a certain senator from Texas being pummeled by the ethanol lobby in Iowa.

So this lady thinks everyone and everything is subsidized.
Not yet, but maybe when Trump starts making all his “great deals”, this lady will turn out to be correct. Trump and his deals will make Obama look like a fiscal conservative, but the zombies don’t care.

Newt must have helped Hannity

He had every fact on Romney being a Democrat

Flip Flop on really important issues

Took out Newt

Then NR backed Romney

Austin Gould even said they watched Romney and he was just throwing every GOP hand money in it.

He Knew Obama would kill him because Obama had as much money

No sh!te sherlock.

The only one that has slim chance to stop the bleeding and won't be brow beaten by the communist media and the marxist muslim uniparty is Trump.

Otherwise it's full on rebellion....which is probably what it's going to take

Thanks for posting this. It is an informative letter backed up with links. That false ad from Cruz that portrays Trump as taking an Atlantic City house from an old lady, when she still owns the house is a perfect example.

I must admit that I’ve developed a strong bias against Harvard on the resume in our political leaders and especially those that are lawyers. They hold common beliefs of group think that have come to dominate our political elites to the detriment of the country.

This woman has more integrity in her little finger than Cruz & Levin put together. And it hurts me to have to say that about Mark Levin. A lot.

I repeat, there are no subsidies for the oil and gas business.

Is every zombie as stupid as this lady? Serious question.

I truly went into this ‘open letter’ with an open mind. I am far more interested in truth than bias.
IMHO, this reads like some troll in its mother’s basement who lives in Googleland, on YouTube, and in comment sections. It has gathered together every bit of gossip available with just enough ‘facts’ to make it sound convincing to some. The writer ‘sounds’ MUCH younger than it is portraying itself to be with the initial bio.
The further I got into this the more I became convinced this is a nonsense.
As I said, just my humble opinion.
