Liz Cheney Disagrees With Father On Palin, Calls Her ‘More Qualified Than Obama And Biden’
Mediaite ^ | July 29th, 2012 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 07/30/2012 9:38:26 AM PDT by kingattax

ABC News aired part of an exclusive interview with former Vice President Dick Cheney this morning, in which Cheney admitted that the choice of Sarah Palin for vice president in 2008 was a “mistake.”

Liz Cheney took to Twitter to voice her disagreement with her father and her overwhelming support for Palin. Cheney has been very supportive of Palin since her 2008 nomination, and tweeted her dissent with her father earlier today, arguing that Palin is more qualified than the current president and vice president.

Perhaps not “more qualified”, but certainly “less unqualified”.

I’d call Palin more qualified than Obama, Biden, Reid, Pelosi, Romney, Bachmann, Santorum, Perry, Cain, and just about every current or former US Senator, Congressman, or Governor. It’s a shame that at this point in her life she and her family were not ready to face the pure evil from the far left fringe and their propaganda corps in the mainstream media. I hope America deserves someone at her level in four years, that we will have a free election then, and that her family is ready for the battle.

McCain would have lost by 30 points if he had not chosen Sarah. Her mistake was how she handled the media. She
was done in by Katie Couric and Saturday Night Live.

From what I’ve seen of Liz, she’s got a stronger conservative core than her old man, his being a longtime GOP fixture and having the standard beltway evolution. Liz is correct with her descriptions, but she still has time to evolve in the wrong direction.

This is really pointless subject/debate.

If Palin thought she was ‘ready to be POTUS’ then she would have run for POTUS as so many here (for about two years) claimed she was doing. She is a better judge of her abilities than the Cheney’s who..... didn’t Cheney pick himself in 2000? Well I am sure he thinks that ‘he’ was a great ‘pick’ he made.

Who is Liz Cheney? Another FNC commentator?

I don't see how anybody in the world can argue that McCain would have had more votes without Palin. Palin was the ticket. McCain was the liability.

A real test of unconditional love for Dick for his daughter: gay and now politically dissenting.

RE :” Who is Liz Cheney? Seriously?

I see her on FNS from time to time. Has she accomplished something that makes her an authority on anything(anymore than any of them)? Did she run for POTUS?

I respect Cheney for his years of service...and he did serve well. But lately, he just sounds like a grumpy old man who is mad at everyone.

Cheney's statement was that although he likes Palin, he thought that she needed more experience at that point of career! He never compared her abilities to Dumb and dumber.

The successful Governor and perhaps the most popular governor in our history was more qualified than any of them and more qualified than the failed governor from Massachusetts who left office a failure with 34% approval.

Cool, side with the left and the rinos to attack the leader of the conservative movement in America.

Go Cruz.

RE :”Cool, side with the left and the rinos to attack the leader of the conservative movement in America.

Who is that? Michelle Bachmann? She is the only one being attacked for taking a brave stand. I heard Cheney praise Palin who is a highly paid ‘political commentator’. Why would anyone attack a commentator?

As far as Palin not being ready to be POTUS she decided to NOT run for POTUS even after all the pointless begging and pleading here. I didnt tell her not to run. If she thought she was ready then it would make sense for her to run. Is that obvious logic an 'attack? Like the so called Chick-o-flt 'attack on 'gays?'

If love Bachmann but I wouldnt go into a hissy fit if someone said she wasnt ready to run as a number of Palinistas did last year.

I don’t understand why this is even coming up now. The 2 early morning shows on FOX both covered it with more emphasis on the fact that her “only experience” was as a governor for two years. There seemed to be a consensus among all the broadcasters and responders that only experience in a government job is worth anything.

It’s almost as if they feel the need to dispense with and minimize Palin once and for all before the Republican convention this fall.
