I voted for Trump – twice. Liz Cheney's book and DOJ Jan. 6 indictment changed my mind

I voted for Donald Trump — twice. I am a staunch, almost redneck conservative, registered Republican, Oklahoman and American. I believe in limited government, free enterprise and traditional Christian values. I believe that government should stay out of the personal lives of women and others who want to live alternative lifestyles, whatever that means. I believe in personal responsibility and that government should help those who can’t help themselves.

However, recently, for some reason, I purchased and downloaded a book by Liz Cheney titled "Oath and Honor, a Memoir and a Warning." This book was published in late 2023, and it details Mrs. Cheney’s involvement as a senior leader behind the investigation of the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol. It is extremely detailed and very well organized. Liz goes to great pains to be objective, factual and fair in her description of how the committee was formed and how it operated for about 18 months from June 2021 to December 2022.

The committee was incredibly diligent and meticulous in its approach to developing and corroborating evidence that shows the role President Donald Trump played from the day after the 2020 election until the fateful Jan. 6 debacle as he attempted to hold on to his job. It is an impressive literary work.

I came away from the book thinking that Liz Cheney is an intelligent, highly organized, honest and patriotic American citizen. Her most impressive attribute is that she is a politician for whom honoring the Constitution and the rule of law comes above all else, including her own political career. She readily sacrificed her career as a member of Congress in order to communicate the truth.

anyone who sides with Liz Cheney over Trump on this issue is a lunatic. I call BS on this story. Cheney lost her reelection bid by historic proportions. She was dubbed a traitor by her home state for what she did to Trump.

A classic example of what Rush Limbaugh used to call a seminar caller--someone who attended seminars held by left-wing activists on how to get onto conservative talk shows to spread disinformation. For example, "I am a life-long Republican who trudged through snowdrifts in New Hampshire walking precincts for Barry Goldwater. However, Ronald Reagan is not a true conservative but a racist warmonger, so I will be voting for Mondale."

Who reads, or believes, anything from Liz Cheney? Never was a True Trump “supporter.”

I don’t believe for one second that he ever voted for Trump.

He may have voted for himself, like some other Trump-hating "freepers" have admitted to doing...

This thread needs some quantitative analysis.

There were approximately four million books published in the past year.

The odds of randomly choosing Liz Cheney’s book is then one in four million—even if you just limited your choice to books in the past year.

If you were looking at books published in the last ten years you would have had a one in forty million chance of purchasing Liz Cheney’s book.

So—let us compromise here.

The odds of this individual speaking the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth is one in twenty million.

Lol.

Proving once again that libertarians, even right-leaning libertarians, are NOT conservatives.

We have one of those here on FR, but he does the "I voted for Reagan, the Last Conservative" thingee, to fly under the radar.

(check both posts #174 & #175 on that link)

From the article..."Liz goes to great pains to be objective...."

Yes....I'm sure she tried real hard to be objective....

 

Trump knocks Cheney over ‘unhinged’ comments

by Tara Suter - 12/06/23 10:15 AM ET

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4344977-trump-knocks-cheney-comments/

Former President Trump took a swing at former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) early Wednesday morning.

“Crazy Liz Cheney, who may be responsible for destroying the evidence from the J6 Unselect Committee, making all cases, past and present, highly questionable, AT BEST, is suffering from a massive case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “She just lost her Congressional Seat by the largest margin EVER, now is desperately looking for something else to do. Her unhinged statements are becoming a THREAT TO DEMOCRACY!”

If they wanted to get the FACTS and TRUTH out, why didn’t they release the tapes and invite ALL the witnesses.

Did the book mention that Lez and her daddy made billions in war profits?

Another low-information voter.

I doubt the opening sentence, and the rest reads like it was penned by a Babylon Bee writer.

A variation on the Rush Limbaugh ‘seminar caller’.
