CORRECTED: Cruz still favors slashing ethanol mandate every year for five years

Washington Examiner ^ | 1/6/16 | Timothy P. Carney

I want more coal and less ethanol. Much less ethanol. It is a menace to my trucks.

[BBell]

There are numerous additive you can use to combat the ethanol.

[WENDLE]

Might try that. The crap is really bad for my BMW.

So it was misleading for ARF--and for me--to represent Cruz's comments in Cherokee as a flip-flop.

...As I first pointed out earlier today.

And it's good to see somebody stand up and say that they were wrong.

I have to add the Marine Stabil every time I put fuel in my boat. It has a 170 gallon tank, and what I don’t use, I pump out to put in other things. So far I haven’t had a water problem.

I am waiting for your retraction, you said "that retraction" - so, the "ethanol lobby's odd response" doesn't mean that Cruz wasn't going around IA preaching an immediate halt. Cutting and pasting older positions is meaningless.

Somebody needs to get a follow-up response from the 'ethanol lobby' formal release or a direct comment from Cruz that the 'ethanol lobby' is lying.

Old position papers don't feed the bulldog - you cannot counter things said recently in IA with stuff that dates as far back as 2011. And as far as the "cowardice" comment goes, I give you a classic reference from Aristophanes, 'The Clouds' - "Bugger off."

Why should I issue a retraction against an unsupported assertion? All you have is speculation.
