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."

Sessions is wonderful. He’s been a hero many times. It is time for the next generation to step forward though, imo, and I think that is what is happening.
I noticed too we haven’t heard from Jeff in a while... hope he’s okay.
Thanks!
Here is the link to all the speechs Day 1 (2 hrs.):
Sorry
Don’t even really know where she is from and where she might seek election.
I believe Mary is the daughter who worked for Coors. Liz earned her undergrad in Colorado. That state would be favorable for Liz to take a run at the Senate.
I found this great quote from Mary:
Cheney’s sister Mary Cheney is quoted as saying, “I think you’d be hard-pressed to find any daylight at all between Liz’s and my father’s views. It’s not because she’s been indoctrinated. It’s because he’s right.”
Well two by Liz. Sorry.
That shows you how quickly I forget. How embarassing.
I see what you were doing, adding a Hot Quote...
*Wink*
That’s beautiful. I like it!
Messages is confused.
We want our country back. We deserve better, yada, yada.
All they need is one word for their campaigns - FREEDOM!
Freedom should be the chant at every tea party!
I thought I was alone supporting Cheney.
CB would be a solid ticket.
Cheney has the intellectual horsepower and in particluar the gravitas that has missing on the right. Too many charactatures (sp) on right.
Palin more suited to RNC and could bring in dollars.
#1 - No, you are not alone.
#2 - caricatures:-)
#3 - And I agree...
I saw him on with maybe Greta the other day or ? on Fox. So he seems ok, just quiet lately.
How about use the genes God gave you and behave as men?
Liz Cheney = Leia Organa???
“insert ‘not’ between ‘I’m’ and ‘looking’...”
OK! I won’t look, LOL!
I knew what you meant. It totally AMAZES me how so FEW in our party are LEADERS. And the women probably stand out because the retards (yes, I meant to say that!) in the media think Conservative women are so weird that they can’t look away, LOL!
Good Golly! It’s not that hard! I do it every day. Plan the work, then work the plan. Granted, it’s just a little shop in a little town, but when I leave a ‘To-Do’ list for my employees on the few days I’m not there, they crawl over one another to be the first to DO SOMETHING and to cross it off the list!
People CRAVE direction and they desire being part of something bigger than themselves. Ask President Reagan!
Lead. Follow. Or get OUT of the way!
Wow, what a team!
