Endorsement of Former Bush Regional Administration Official for the United States EPA
HOUSTON, Texas – Presidential candidate Ted Cruz today announced the endorsement of Alan Steinberg, former Regional Administrator for the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the administration of former President George W. Bush. During his time at the EPA, Steinberg made history by having a formerly delisted Superfund site in New Jersey restored to the Superfund National Priorities List (NPL) – the first time a previously delisted site had been restored.
"I am thankful to have the support of Mr. Steinberg," said Cruz. "He is a public servant with a diverse and impressive background. He is a very capable individual who was trusted to protect the health and livelihood of millions of people. He will be a real asset to our campaign."
Today, Steinberg is an adjunct professor at Monmouth University in New Jersey where he has taught courses in environmental policy, state and local government, and public administration. He served in the Judge Advocate General's Corps of the U.S. Navy, as a consultant to various corporations and as the senior policy advisor in the New Jersey Assembly Republican Office.
"Ted Cruz is the most competent candidate for the Republican presidential nomination on foreign policy issues since Ronald Reagan. Like Reagan, he believes that our foreign policy and international military involvements should be governed by one criterion: the vital interests of the United States. Like Reagan, he rejects the policies of both isolationists and out-of-control interventionists.”
“Ted Cruz is a candidate of unsurpassed intellect, scintillating intelligence, and unquestionable ethics. As an Orthodox Jew, I have a special feeling for him – he is by far the most committed supporter of Israel among all the candidates for president in either party in Campaign 2016. Like Ronald Reagan, he will become a great President of the United States.”
Mr. Steinberg is the author of American Jewry and Conservative Politics: A New Direction, and has served as regular columnist for New Jersey's leading political website, PolitickerNJ.com.

I read yesterday that a county clerk in Iowa endorsed somebody.
My endorsement will sway as many voters as Alan Steinberger’s. Never heard of the guy before reading this.
I believe there was a janitor in Fresno that went all in too.
Someone needs to notify Ted so his minions can start another thread here.
This is beginning to look like an Amway forum.
“I believe there was a janitor in Fresno that went all in too.”
LOL! (Oh - can someone start a new thread that says “21twelve Endorses Ted Cruz for President!”?

Do We HAVE to hear about every nobody who “endorses” Ted Cruz? “Former Regional Administrator” for Dubya’s EPA”? Who’s next? The manager of a Houston Subway franchise?
Just ignore them
= :^)
You are really doing a great job there.
Perhaps one person that hasn’t seen that fraudulent POS will see it for the first time this week.
And they’ll recognize it for what it is.
Exactly how does an endorsement from a federal apparatchik stooge help Ted Cruz with conservatives? Didn’t Ted promise to dismantle the EPA?
Isara, why do you think so many ordinarily normal conservatives are supporting someone like Trump? It’s because we’ve heard this song before, twice from RINO loosers then again a year ago from critter RINO winners:
`Vote for me and I’ll set you free’ Yeah, as soon as we voted, they cut us loose.
[Eddie:]
People moving out, people moving in. Why, because of the color of their skin.
Run, run, run but you sure can’t hide. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Vote for me and I’ll set you free. Rap on, brother, rap on.
Dennis: Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the...(preacher.)
And it seems nobody’s interested in learning but the...(teacher.)
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration, Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation.
Ball of confusion. Oh yeah, that’s what the world is today. Woo, hey, hey.
The Temptations
That’s my bad, baby. It was Donald Trump who was making noises like,
“Why do we even need these agencies?”

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump suggested Sunday that he would eliminate several federal agencies if he were elected president.
Asked on “Fox News Sunday” how he would cut spending, Trump named the Department of Education and the Environmental Protection Agency as potential targets.
“No, I’m not cutting services, but I’m cutting spending. But I may cut Department of Education. I believe Common Core is a very bad thing. I believe that we should be — you know, educating our children from Iowa, from New Hampshire, from South Carolina, from California, from New York. I think that it should be local education,” Trump said.
“So the Department of Education is one,” he continued. “Environmental Protection, what they do is a disgrace. Every week they come out with new regulations.”
Go Trump
Trump's Record on Free-market Issue: (from the Conservative Review)
Trump has a terrible record on free market issues. The only bright spot is the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing, but this glimmer is countermanded by his repeated support for bailing out Wall Street and the auto industry, and increased stimulus spending. Of particular concern is Trump's belief that the government can use eminent domain powers to seize private property in the name of private economic development. This comes as no surprise, given his support for using eminent domain to profit his own company.
Trump supported the Supreme Court’s 2005 decision in Kelo v. City of London, allowing public authorities to seize private land for economic development by private investors; Trump said, “I happen to agree with [the decision] 100 percent.” (National Review) This is no surprise given Trump’s attempt to use eminent domain in his own line of work. (Institute for Justice)
Trump supported President Obama’s 2009 stimulus, saying: “The word stimulus is probably not used in its fullest…you know, certain of the things that were given weren't really stimulus. They were pork, as we call it, or they were gifts to certain people. But overall, I think he's [President Obama] doing very well. You do need stimulus and you do have to keep the banks alive.” (CNN)
Trump supported TARP, saying, "You had to do something to shore up the banks, because ... you would have had a run on every bank." (CNN)
Trump supported the 2008 auto bailout, saying, “I think the government should stand behind them 100 percent. You cannot lose the auto companies. They’re great. They make wonderful products.” He also said that the federal government could “easily save the companies.” (Daily Caller)
Trump criticized the Federal Reserve’s intervention in the debt market, saying quantitative easing creates “phony numbers” that mislead the marketplace and “will not ultimately benefit the economy. The dollar will go down in value and inflation will start rearing its ugly head.” (CNBC)
Donald Trump has a history of using eminent domain to complete business deals. Multiple times Trump has supported the use of government agencies to take possession of homes and businesses for use in his private business plans. Eminent domain seizures are reserved only for public use of property rather than abuse by the government taking property from one individual and giving to another. (Washington Post)
Donald Trump has sought and received crony capitalist tax breaks for his commercial properties in New York. These tax breaks, and even an abatement, force the property taxes of other property owners to rise at the expense of the connected. Special treatment for one business or industry over another with the tax code conflicts with free market principles. (National Review)
In 2009, Trump supported Barack Obama's call for limits on the pay of executives. (CNN)
"Trump has an inconsistent record when it comes to civil liberties. He supported the NSA mass surveillance program but did not weigh in on the recently passed reforms. Overall, he has avoided commenting on religious freedom, but says he would be an advocate for Christians. Trump supports an individual’s right to make unlimited campaign contributions, but advocates for an end to soft money in politics. Most concerning is Trump’s belief that the government can use eminent domain powers to seize private property for economic benefit for others."
Trump supports the NSA’s metadata collection program, saying, “I support legislation which allows the NSA to hold the bulk metadata. For oversight, I propose that a court, which is available any time on any day, is created to issue individual rulings on when this metadata can be accessed.” This position was identical to the NSA’s mass surveillance program before being reformed by the USA Freedom Act. (Newsweek)
Trump has avoided commenting on religious freedom since Indiana passed its Religious Freedom and Restoration Act into law. Instead, he has said that he will be the “greatest representative of the Christians they've had in a long time” if elected president. (Christian Today) (Breitbart)
Trump believes political soft money should be banned, while individuals should be allowed to make unlimited contributions. "If I were drawing a political cartoon to represent the situation, it would include a very large guy with a huge bag of money. On that bag would be written one word: soft. Soft money is the bane of the current system and we need to get rid of it." (The America We Deserve)
Trump supported the Supreme Court’s 2005 decision in Kelo v. City of New London, giving public authorities the right to seize private land for economic development by private investors. Trump said, “I happen to agree with [the decision] 100 percent.” (National Review)
Trump highlighted his support for prosecuting "hate crimes" against homosexuals in his 2000 book, The America We Deserve. “Hate Crime” is a term used to extend special protections for a specific classes and in essence elevates the importance of these classes above others. For example, murder of homosexual or heterosexual should be viewed equally under the law and punished equally. Creating special classes is a liberal tactic used to divide and segment society.(Google Books)
Trump said that Kim Davis should not have been jailed for refusing to issue gay marriage licenses. He also said that she should allow her deputy clerks to do so, but also said that 30 miles away you can get a license so people should do that. He added, "The decision's been made, and that is the law of the land." (CNN)
Much like his stance on eminent domain, Donald Trump has shown a troubling tendency to want to use the power of government to stifle political speech. When the conservative Club for Growth released an advertisement regarding Trump's changing positions on taxation, Trump responded with a legal letter calling for them to cease and desist the advertisements. A chilling move towards the silencing of political speech. (Politico)
Donald Trump attacked SuperPACs (political action committees) in the third Republican debate. By suggesting they should be outlawed he came out against the First Amendment protection of speech, and echoed progressive talking points. (Time) 
And yet Trump is at 32 to 35%, and poor Ted is still scrambling to be out “Won’t vote”.
Well, have a nice day.
Well that’s It! If Alan Whats his name? endorses Cruz everybody else should just go home.
Well that’s It! If Alan Whats his name? endorses Cruz everybody else should just go home.
