No.
It was to prevent a family feud.
Her bratty lezzy sister would have fought her all the way.
They get along like the two sisters in Downton Abbey.
The family feud was already out in the open. It was because she had no chance of winning.
Best news of the New Year!
Whatever. We just stay on target, the flak means were over it.
Yup!
“In my opinion, anyone who seriously categorizes Enzi as a RINO needing TP opposition has a reserved seat on the tin-foil trolley.”
I'm not thrilled about the national sales tax nor am I thrilled about his position on NSA surveillance.
But to argue that he is not a solid conservative is ridiculous.
I agree with those who claim that Cheney's candidacy was from the very get-go a false flag operation, designed to win over grassroots conservatives to a mainstream GOP candidate instead of an authentic one.
Cheney raised more money in large contributions than did Enzi, according to CRP. Eighty-nine percent of her third-quarter money came from people making donations larger than $200. And much of that came from outside the state of Wyoming – 72 percent , to be precise.
Unsurprisingly for the daughter of a former vice president, Cheney’s donor list was high-profile. A perusal of the third-quarter FEC listing shows dad Dick Cheney and mom Lynne Cheney each maxed out on their daughter's campaign, giving her $2,600 apiece for her primary campaign against Enzi, and $2,600 for a general election campaign that now will not occur.
Other donors who gave the maximum allowed include former President George W. Bush, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and Joyce Rumsfeld, Mr. Rumsfeld's wife. Also donating were Michael Mukasey, who served Mr. Bush as attorney general; Donald Evans, secretary of Commerce under President George H.W. Bush; and Mary Matalin, who served as a consultant to both Bush presidents. General rich person/Republican backers T. Boone Pickens, August Busch III, and Richard DeVos gave Cheney money , as well.
She was a regular panelist on FNSunday with Chris Wallace along with Scott Brown and Britt Hume all last year.
That tells us who she gets along with.
Lizzie Cheney IS the establishment Republican in this contest.
That’s what most of you Cheney supporters can’t seem to figure out. Enzi is a home-grown conservative, and not especially beholden to DC inside-the-beltway interests, especially on foreign policy.
Cheney is all about internationalist aspirations, and her husband is one of those loathsome attorneys at an DC law firm who is fond of making mischief and legislation in the Congress.
Lizzie Cheney is NOT a conservative. Period, full stop, end of analysis.
Exactly.
Those of us watching this race from INSIDE WYOMING have known this all along. We’ve heard that the money was being wheeled in from DC and out of state interests.
This was a race of a home-grown politician (Enzi) vs. the Beltway (Lizzie Cheney). That’s it.
That Hannity jumped in on Cheney’s side is a VERY important indication that either Hannity isn’t the down-home conservative that he claims to be, or that Hannity is even dumber than he sounds on the air.
I prefer the latter explanation myself, because I’ve never once heard the man say anything intelligent or proffer anything resembling competent analysis of any political situation.
T. Boone Pickens, eh? That great conservative hero. How interesting.
Hannity has always been a GOP-E shill. He’s probably not that smart either.
I can’t believe I met him once as a young man and was honored to do, pfffffff!
I been posting and saying for years I cant sit through him, he just seems to repeat others ideas.
Recall January 2009 when he defended GWB bailout of GM, then turned against it when Obama did it. GM was his sponsor.
The other top of my Hannity list is when he used his show to pimp Steele as RNC head.
