What are her positions on gun control, gay marriage, and immigration?

Here is video of Dick Cheney very effectively undressing the idiotic foreign policy/national security of the Occupier-in-Chief (in 2009). With a nice tribute to SecDef Rumsfeld at the beginning. Dick Cheney was prophetic.

Obama and Dick Cheney, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb, or vice versa. Both of them have done tremendous harm to American freedom and security.

She is from Wyoming not Kentucky, South Carolina, Texas or Virginia and you would probably be the first one to call her a carpetbagger.

And since you are from Nebraska why don't you concern yourself about one your senators who is running for reelection like Mike Johanns whose ACU rating in Congress is only 80% compared to Mitch McConnel whose ACU rating in Congress is 100%

Here are the ratings of Mitch McConnell my neighboring state senator

Mitch McConnel

100% pro life 100%

ACU rating (Congress) 90%

lifetime Gun owners of America 100%

NumbersUSA [Americans for Better Immigration] - Positions - Reduce Illegal Immigration at the Border 100%

NumbersUSA [Americans for Better Immigration] - Positions - Reduce Illegal Jobs and Presence 100%

NumbersUSA [Americans for Better Immigration] - Positions - Reduce Amnesty Enticements 100%

Yes Johanns has also a 100% pro life ratings like most republicans

I'm pretty sure you can vote against him. (I know I will.) I think candidacy for the Senate is state-wide, so no district issue to deal with, as there is for the House.

Staying on the theme of being aggressive in the "Red-est" states with regard to the 2014 U.S. Senate elections, it seems to me that there are states to concentrate on and they fall into two groups .... "Take Back" states and "Upgrade" states as follows:

Take Back (from Dem incumbent)

Alaska – Begich
Arkansas – Pryor
Colorado – Udall
Louisiana – Landrieu
Montana – Baucus
North Carolina – Hagan
South Dakota - Johnson
West Virginia - Rockefeller

Upgrade (from lesser conservative)

Georgia – Chambliss
South Carolina – Graham
Tennessee – Alexander
Texas – Cornyn
Wyoming - Enzi

Your thoughts, edits or additions? With the exception of Colorado (should be GOP), every state went Romney in 2012.

[Servant of the Cross]

Keith Olberman, Ed 'sargeant' Schultz and Rachel Madcow agree with you.

Oh ... wait ...

She is from Wyoming not Kentucky, South Carolina, Texas or Virginia and you would probably be the first one to call her a carpetbagger.

She is not "from Wyoming". She may have been born there but she lived the majority of her life in Virgnia. She got her undergrad degree in Colorado and her law school degree in Chicago, which means she has spent more time in both those states than in Wyoming, and her kids were born, raised, and educated in Virginia. She has much stronger ties to Virginia so she should have challenged Warner. Her ties to Wyoming are tenuous at best, and if you want to use the carpetbagger label then yeah, she's carpetbagging the Wyoming seat. So if she wants to do that then why not knock off a Senator who deserves it more than Enzi. And if that includes coming here and taking a crack at Johanns then more power to her. Enzi has him beat, too.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

I think real conservatives like George Washington, John Quincy Adams and Robert Taft would agree with me. We need more Robert Tafts and less John McCains and Dick Cheneys. Conservatism means conserving American strength by staying out of endless regional conflicts with marginal American benefits.

[amnestynone]

There is much to like in this article. Mike Enzi may be dulitous but he voted to save the party from Amnesty and Durbin and Schumer. He was with it when it was needed. Could we count on Dick Cheneys daughter doing the same? So I agree with you.

[Servant of the Cross]

You sound like LRon Paul. Peace through surrender, right?

Now who was it who said ... Peace through Strength ...?

[Kaslin]

The point is you

[Lakeshark]

Obama and Dick Cheney, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb, or vice versa

Really?

Good grief, did you do too much LSD or crack when you were young?

Really?

How does someone post that kind of sentence with a straight face?

Really?

[Servant of the Cross]

How does someone post that kind of sentence with a straight face?

Liberaltarian ... drunk on the LRon koolaid ...

[Colonel Kangaroo]

How does it strengthen America to endlessly deplete its strength through continuous expenditure of blood and wealth? Better to let the Old World fight their own battles and weaken themselves while we remain aloof and grow relatively stronger. I want to conserve American strength, not that of possible future rivals.

[0.E.O]

The point is you

Sure it is.

[Servant of the Cross]

Your continued inference that either Dick Cheney or his daughter Liz wish to involve the U.S. in any and every world conflict is a strawman argument that won't go anywhere.

It's 0bama who has gone where no other president has or would, and only to support the MB. Cheney would not be doing this.

[Lakeshark]

LRon = the crazy Uncle in the attic......

Occasionally he gets things right, but believing the guy on most things just makes you stupid.

I can't believe the dude said that.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

Quote about Syria from Cheney below. The differences between Cheney, John McCain and Obama are differences in tactics.

“I don’t think it’s been well handled,” Cheney said. “I will be the first to admit it’s a complex, difficult situation. I frankly think John McCain has it just about right. John and I don’t always agree on everything. We have had our debates over the years but I think John has pretty well nailed it. Now we are to the point where it’s hard to understand that it’s the use of chemical weapons that triggered this result. As John said the other day, well, there were 93,000 people killed not affected by chemical weapons. Where was the concern then? It’s not clear to me what the mission is here, or they understand the mission.”

Sounds to me like Cheney is with McCain in wanting to use the US military to help the Muslim Brotherhood's friends in Syria.

A move back towards traditional American conservative isolation is twenty years overdue. The New World Order is not a concept George Washington would approve.

If you want the answer how she feels about gun control and gay marriage watch this YouTube interview video

Liz Cheney Interview

Her feeling about illegal immigration is that we need a sane policy to stop illegal immigration. One that finally closes our borders, enforces the laws already on our books, and restores the rule of law.

In short she is a conservative.
