Conservatives: Liz Cheney Should Run for Office
USNews ^ | 5/22/09 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 05/22/2009 9:26:49 AM PDT by anniegetyourgun

The hottest Republican property out there isn't former Vice President Dick Cheney but his daughter Liz, who has taken to the airwaves to defend her dad and the whole Bush administration on national security and Guantánamo Bay issues. Liz Cheney, who followed the former veep's hard-hitting speech criticizing President Obama's policies with a CNN appearance, is becoming so popular in conservative circles that some want her to run for office. "She's awesome. Everyone wants her to run," said a close friend.

“I was talking about Romney. And anyone who supports that phony has a huge blot in their copy book as far as I’m concerned. It would take an awful lot for me to ever trust or support them for anything.”

And I brought up the corrective course taken by Reagan, in his middle age, that was certainly more dramatic than Liz Cheney’s might be...granted there is some distaste for Liz Cheney’s support for Romney, but I don’t even see any comparison between the two, Reagan being MUCH more deeply off course only to correct and only a little later in life...but Reagan’s correction was due mainly to his constan exposure to business and real-world politic as a result of his career with GE...

Sounds reasonable. I just want people to realize what they’re getting instead of living in conservative fantasy land.

No one in MA is fit to be dogcather, best I can tell. Yet they have two senators, Kerry and Teddy. If Mitt can take out either, that would be a vast improvement. Same with Rudy. I wouldn’t want the lib anywhere near the oval office. But if he’s NY Gov, it will be a vast improvement.

If you want to post out of context remarks, you face the consequences. Your problem, not mine.

You associated Reagan with Romney. I responded.

Btw, I suggest you start using spell checker... you dummy.

No, ignorant voter, that is her sister. Liz is married with 5 children.

If they don’t keep their oath of office, they are not qualified for any elected or appointed position whatsoever. Until conservatives draw that line in the sand, nothing will change.

Rudy apparently ain’t running for NY Governor, either. He probably realized Albany makes DC look like Waikiki.

Qualifies her in mine.

Hey, if high-level support for the most liberal Governor in the history of the American republic is a plus to you, there's not much else to talk about.

“No, we have Palin as fantasy land here already.”

Yes, you’re right. People need to take a hard look at her, like the others before they get on any bandwagon. Sarah still has some explaining to do.

The Republican culture of compromise, the exact culture that led to such disastrous results in 2006 and 2008, is still raging like a fever. This thread illustrates this clearly. The patient may not survive.

Hope you have a license to wield that much hyperbole at once

Hey, Deb, I’m with you, too — and I’ll take my chances with the flying poop.” No problem; it’s expected.

As I suspected...you are either a troll or an idiot, but either way no lover of truth. you are a fool who suggests that spell check is an instrument of inteligence...you have now weighed in.. and you are a lightweight.

Pity you can’t admit your mistakes even when shown to you but resort to jr. high retorts...so I will offer you a bit of advice...there is nothing wrong with making a mistake and ackowledging it...but when you refuse to do so in front of everyone who can plainly see that you are doing it, as you have done here, you prove yourself to be of exremely low character...and that leads me to believe you have no business commenting on the character of Mitt Romney or Donald Duck...you are more closely allied with those that bear your character traits; Freank, Dodd and Obama...

There are very few conservatives in MA. Not to say that can’t change some year or decade. But that is a fact.

Romney, at least in recent rhetoric, has moved much to the right. That needs to be encouraged, not scorned. Not encouraged with a presidential nomination, mind you, but encouraged none the less.

As you know, I have little faith in the GOP as a party, but that does not mean that I do not want it to shift back towards reaganism. I do. At least Romney was savvy enough to praise Dick Cheney, while McQueeg accused him of torturing and sides with the marxist fraud.

She’s got lotsa potential. But she needs some mentoring
