There’s no shortage of food.

But there is a change in the market resulting from ethanol that drives up the price of corn. It may not cause us shortages but remember Mexican and Middle eastern food riots?

Good point.

The politician who says his goal is to reduce government meddling in free markets, is the guy I will vote for because THAT is what I want to win. I believe that the goal to reduce government tyranny is the only hope for restoring prosperity and Christian morality to America, let alone freedom.

The politician, Republican or Democrat, who remains on-board fundamentally with the concept of "necessary" government meddling "for society's good," represents what I want to lose. So my vote will either go to what I want to win, or it will stay home.

Cruz is looking better by the day.
