Sandbag: "Guess I lied earlier, I thought Bullard said this, it was Leo; " “R-CALF’s legal battle is not against Canadian ranchers. They’re families just like yours and mine, who share the same love of the land and way of life."
Who cares what Leo or Bullard said Austin? What matters is the position that R-CALF took in court and in their Washington Post add. R-CALF's position was that Canadian beef is "HIGH RISK" and "CONTAMINATED" due to having BSE in their native herd. That was their position in court and that was their position in the Washington Post add. Nothing they "SAID" matters in contrast. Canadian beef and live cattle being "HIGH RISK" and "CONTAMINATED" was the position they committed themselves to.
Cheap statements like "R-CALF's legal battle is not against Canadian ranchers" yada yada, are just an insult to the intelligence of the Canadian producer. You can't smooth over a lie about Canadian beef and Canadian cattle being "HIGH RISK" and "CONTAMINATED" with lip service about R-CULT's position being "not against Canadian ranchers".
How dumb do you think these guys are Austin? This is so typical of your deceptive ways. This also proves what a "mindless follower" of the gospel according to R-CULT you are.
R-CULT, in their eternal ignorance, used BSE "fear mongering" as a convenient excuse to stop Canadian imports and risked the integrity of the safety of the US beef supply in the process. That is without question the dumbest political move I have ever seen in the cattle industry. That's exactly what you get when "EMOTIONAL BLAMERS" rules in the decision making.
Again, who cares what either McDonnell or Bullard "SAID", what matters is what they "DID".
No R-CALFer can defend the contradiction between Canadian beef being "HIGH RISK" and "CONTAMINATED" due to having BSE in their native herd then stating that "US BEEF IS THE SAFEST BEEF IN THE WORLD DUE TO THE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES WE HAVE IN PLACE (BSE precautionary measures)" after we had BSE in our native herd. No R-CALF head nodder can explain to the public what the difference is between Canada's BSE precautionary measures and the US's BSE precautionary measures. It was all "cheap talk" and "ILLUSIONS" (something Sandbag can relate to) based on ignorance to stop Canadian imports.
R-CALF does not want Canadian live cattle imports, period. The typical R-CALF head nodder response is "GO FIND YOUR OWN MARKETS" because they can't see this industry past the back of a Canadian potload of cattle and they need someone or something to blame. They can't understand that banning Canadian cattle and beef means that much less will be exported. They're not that objective.
Bullard also said, "USDA doesn't care about food safety" then contradicted that by saying "we have the safest beef in the world due to our precautionary measures".
What R-CALF "SAYS" and 5 cents will buy you a cup of coffee at Wall Drug because tomorrow they'll be saying something else and the "head nodders" will be agreeing with that.
R-CALF's success depends on nobody reminding them today of what they said yesterday.
