Furthermore, The Iowa Republican published this article about a week ago.

The article sure looks to be illuminating. I find this to be an important distinction in the Iowa paper article:
"Cruz has often referred to the RFS as a "subsidy," but it is not. While it is a mandate on the oil industry to blend a certain amount of fuel with renewable alternatives like ethanol, it doesn't cost federal taxpayers or the federal government a dime."
Cruz looks to be vulnerable in Iowa to the hypocrisy charge.
“According to the Houston Chron, Cruz has gotten big bucks up to $25 million dollars to fund his campaign and his Super Pacs from the oil and gas industry while at the same time saying he wants to end oil subsidies...)
IIRC, only small independent producers receive any form of government subsidy (in the absolute definition of the term) so to cover their exploratory / start up costs.
If Cruz is stating his desire to end “oil subsidies,” then he is in danger of giving the appearance of parroting Obama’s crusade against oil production.

Honestly, I don’t want to go negative on Ted. Nobody is perfect and Ted is no different.
His people are convinced he is. B. S.
They don’t like Trump because he’s a flip flopper.
So is Ted. They hypocrisy is deafening from these people.
At least I know Trump’s history and am honest with myself.
These folks don’t know Ted’s history, and haven’t been honest for six months.
Ethanol doesn’t cost Taxpayers? BS
