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.

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.


Brilliant statement!

McCain is right on Enzi, though.

I’ll just say that I detest McCain without going into details.

I’m not confusing her with anyone.

Are you going to tell me you’re comfortable voting for someone who hasn’t even declared their position on illegal immigration by this point?

If someone wants to call me a one issue voter based on that, it’s a moniker I’ll wear proudly.

Well sure, and if she winds up actually being very similar to McCain based on views, how will that please you?

how conservative can she be if she does not take a stand on amnesty and the homo agenda?

McCain, like most senators, endorses the incumbent as a way to pile up favors to call in later. That’s all this is, folks. McCain is playing the odds.

She can declare her own position. Who are “they” whose opinion you also want her to declare?

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.

Totally inaccurate.

LIZ Cheney wanted DADT ended and rejoiced when it was, she was against DOMA, is against a constitutional amendment to save marriage, and supports gay marriage, and supports the State department move to the gay agenda.

Liz Cheney is very pro-gay agenda, and I would like to see her a pro-life position statement made during the years before this week.

Weak, deserving of a tinfoil hat award.

Sorry, the guy just isn't capable of that kind of conspiracy.......

There's at least a plausible case to be made that McCain got exactly what he wanted, the footnote of losing against the first Black candidate for the presidency.

I can believe that.

I can also believe he sandbagged his own campaign while Palin was busting her behind for him. But that only further endeared him to his "friends on the other side of the aisle" and the same media who nicknamed him, "Maverick."

Sorry -- bending over for the Democrats and sandbagging himself and conservatives is EXACTLY what McCain has done best. It's been no mirage.

Liz has stayed consistently conservative...

Liz is pro-Gay marriage and pro-NSA up-our-ying-yangs. She's a hard-core Statist, so she'll no doubt support Amnesty.

"Conservative"? Compared to whom? Barry 0??

Oh, he's bent over, he does it early and often. Doesn't mean he knows it, like I said, he's not so smart.

Do you honestly believe the guy play acts in an actual conspiracy with these Marxist @ssholes?

He not only knows it, he LIKES it. McCain never gets any credit :-)

Let's put it this way; McCain is a trained contrarian seal who will wear the ballcap of the OTHER side. FOR KICKS.

But while you're on the subject, we just witnessed a sick GH Bush visiting 0bama at the White Hut. And both GW and Cheney recently supporting 0bama's NSA policy of violating the 4th Amendment at will. They both support 0bama's Amnesty as well. Kinda strange on all counts, don't you think?
