NEW ORLEANS -- Any Republican in the hotel ballroom who hadn't heard Liz Cheney speak before likely walked away impressed. In a nearly 30-minute speech, the former vice president's daughter laid into the Obama administration over health care, foreign policy and national security, concluding that the country simply deserves better.
"2010 and 2012 are going to be critical years in the long history of this great republic, and we have to make our voices heard," said Cheney. "We have to stand up and fight."
Cheney called the health care reform bill "one of the most arrogant power plays in American history." On national security, she said "someone needs to keep reminding this president that foreign terrorists do not have constitutional rights."
She called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's reception in Washington two weeks ago "disgraceful," and said President Obama doesn't understand that "the world is safer when there is no daylight between the United States and the state of Israel."

Why is it that the ONLY REAL LEADERS that I can see in the Republican party are WOMEN?
Not that having women in leadership is a problem, but, as Denny Kenaston would say, “WHERE ARE THE MEN?”
Other than that, I could support Liz Cheney, Michelle Bachman, or Sarah Palin as president/vice-president, not necessarily in that order, and in any combination.
Anybody for Cheney/Bachmann in 2012?
Ping.
(See: Women's liberation movement)
Assertive, confident women are praised; assertive, confident men are attacked and feared. (Speaking about our society in general, post-women's-lib...)
After decades of boys and men being pushed toward passivity, what else do we expect?
Who is Denny Kenaston?:-)
The men are busy working hard, holding down the fort, etc. Mike Pence is vocal on his Facebook page, has held pressers and I’m looking forward to HIS speech at the conference too.
I’m looking at this gender-wise but in terms of leadership skills.
insert “not” between “I’m” and “looking”...

Check him out.
If you want to raise a Godly family, Denny has the best vision that I’ve heard.
Guess you have already forgotten Ryan. What a shame.
“Why is it that the ONLY REAL LEADERS that I can see in the Republican party are WOMEN?”
Hmmm, I sense a bumper sticker -
“Our women have more b*lls than the entire set of democratic (er, communist) party males.”
Is there a video of her speech?
I sure wish she was the RNC Chairman and not Steele .
I am searching. In the meantime, here are the “hottest quotes” from the SRLC:
“Iran watches as this administration answers their threats with weakness, confusion and self serving lectures that put down America and diminishes our achievements. Now that kind of talk could win you a Nobel Prize.” — Liz Cheney
“When you speak from the heart, you don’t need a teleprompter.” — Newt Gingrich
“Attorney General Holder says that the lawyers who represent the detainees are patriots because they are representing ‘the unpopular’ well for the record unpopular is not the word Americans would use to describe terrorists attempting to attack this nation” – Liz Cheney
“Congressman Waxman, being an egocentric centralized figure of political power beyond the reach of normal humility…” — Newt Gingrich
“The president or his team don’t respond well to challenge or correction. Well here is a piece of news for them, 2010 is going to be a year of challenge and its going to end in a major correction.” — Liz Cheney
“The longer Obama talked, the less the American people believed him.” — Newt Gingrich on healthcare
“Edward Kennedy’s seat was captured by a Republican who was opposed to Obamacare. How can you get a better signal?” — Newt Gingrich
“Some might think that George Bush had his shortcomings, but let me tell you…history’s going to be kind to George W. Bush.” — J.C. Watts
“We’ve got a generation of Americans that…[don’t] remember when “blackberry” was a fruit.” — J.C. Watts
LOL

The GOP women and Paul Ryan. Maybe Eric Cantor, Mike Pence and Jim DeMint. Don’t hear much from my Senators Sessions and Shelby these days, just crickets. They need to stand up and start calling this administration out . . . All of ‘em.
Cool! Leadership through superior genes??
Is she, will she, be running for public office anywhere?
I have no idea but heard a rumor she might seek a Senate seat (forgot which one): Woo Hoo!!
Are you on the wrong thread?
This one is about Liz Cheney.

Here is the whole speech:
