McCain: I endorse Mike Enzi over Liz Cheney
hotair ^ | July 22, 2013 | Allahpundit

Posted on 07/22/2013 4:41:37 PM PDT by Mozilla

Yet another reason to find the Enzi/Cheney race fascinating. Tough call here for Maverick. Does he strike a blow for incumbency by backing his pal Mike, even though it means siding with “wacko bird” nemesis, Rand Paul? Or does he strike a blow for interventionism by endorsing the tea-party favorite Cheney? Here’s the answer, via the Corner. McCain endorsing anyone named “Cheney” at this point was a long shot, incumbent opponent or no. He’s been at odds with Dick sporadically for at least 10 years, dating back to the Bush tax cuts, then to the debate over enhanced interrogation, and then to Cheney’s criticism of him after leaving office for his VP pick and his bizarre political strategy during the 2008 financial crisis. (Cheney wasn’t above publicly knocking McCain in the heat of the 2008 presidential campaign either.) Liz Cheney actually took McCain’s side last year after her father called Palin’s VP selection a mistake, a shrewd move for an aspiring Senate candidate planning to run as a tea partier in a red state. That plus super-hawkishness, and still — Maverick’s unambiguously for Enzi here.

Even so, is she better off having McCain on the other side? Maverick might be seen as a respected elder statesman by Wyoming Republicans who don’t follow politics closely even though the national base rants about him daily.

Geez, Rand Paul and John McIgnorant both like Enzi...

Rush is apparently on the Liz Cheney bandwagon....

Has Sarah taken a horse in this race yet???

Right now, I sadly find myself on the side of McIgnorant...

Liz is not the lesbian Cheney. That’s Mary. Liz actually seems to be the actually conservative member of the Cheney family.

Not trying to tell anyone what to do, but I’m going to let this race play out a while before drawing any conclusions.

The water’s too muddy right now.

If you didn’t know better, you would think she was a solid Conservative.

She is a conservative. She is NOT here fruitcake lezzie sister Mary.

Enzi has a zero percent NARAL rating, a 93 percent lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union and an 86 percent lifetime rating from the Club for Growth.

No, she’s not, but she has about as much in comment with people on this forum, as John McCain does.

She’s another one who whips out the platitudes and never gets to the substance. Is that really what we want this go-round?

I’m not up there voting in this contest, but Liz is not one of us.

Folks, substance does matter.

The problem for Liz, I think, is most folks around here associate her with her sister Mary. Mary has been the intensely public one. Mary is homosexual and has trended from neocon “progressing” toward Leftie over the years. Liz has stayed consistently conservative and certainly comes from a better base, she has a husband and kids, for one.

“Call McCain stupid if you like, but he knows this is the most sure fire way to curse Enzi, denying him even one vote.”

Works for me.

I base it on observing her for a long time. She and her husband are part of her Dad’s old boy network which includes both GHW Bush and GW Bush. They are all New World Order elites. When GHW Bush visited the White House last week wearing his clown socks, I was sick. For Mr. Bush to kiss up to an avowed enemy of the United States who is doing his very best to destroy this country is unforgivable and disgusting.

Bush 43 and Cheney had all the intelligence on Obama and knew exactly where he was/is coming from.

“Do a little homework before you make a remark like that. I detest McCain as much as anyone but he’s right on this one.”

Naw, I ain’t gonna do no fu#king homework. I wouldn’t pi$$ on McCain’s head if his hair was on fire. It’s way past time for that old fart to go sit on his front porch and watch the Arizona sunset.
