“She’s in desperation mode.”
Great summary.
Yep. I pretty much summed it up the same way in posts #17 and #23.
I’m surprised that there are a number of gullible freepers on this thread who seem to believe Liz Cheney has always opposed gay marriage and now has a sincere falling out with her sister because of her Senate race. Of course, those of us who have followed her actions from 2007-2012 know her latest position doesn’t gel with that.
It isn’t even just the gay marriage issue, her beliefs on “gay rights” across the board have been reliably liberal for years (have to agree with Mary 100%, dontsa know). The latest example being the Senate bill to make it a federal law that anyone who is “openly gay” can get their employer punished if they were fire from their job and claim it was because they were “gay” (even if that had nothing to do with the reason). The bill got 10 GOP votes and would have received 11 if Cheney was in the Senate.
I don’t think it will have much of an effect with Wyoming GOP voters (especially since Enzi is still popular and has always been a reliable conservative vote there), but Impy makes a decent case that you can never been sure with conservative talking heads like Levin still pushing her candidacy. Interestingly enough, the national liberal media is with them on this and is trying to frame the primary election as “establishment Enzi vs. more conservative tea party challenger Liz Cheney”, if for no other reason than to waste conservative resources in Wyoming and create a news story where none exists. In both cases, no one who has made the claim that Liz Cheney is the “more conservative” candidate has been able to cite a single example where her track record is clearly more conservative than Enzi’s. They just hope that people will believe it if they say it enough times.
