Liz Cheney has made a big mistake in running against an incumbent Republican, when she could has run against a Democrat incumbent in her old state of Virginia.

She will lose the primary race and then we will never hear from her against.

It is a shame since she is articulate and attractive in her convictions as a Republican candidate.

imho.

That list has Orrin Hatch as the 10th most conservative. So you can take it for what it’s worth.

Thank you.

As the article points out, and as I’ve been saying, Enzi is more conservative than Cheney will be.

I think the vote against the “Violence Against Women” act took real balls, but it is the true small-government, conservative position.

Voting against disaster relief bills bloated with earmarks and pork is the conservative position.

Enzi has made some dubious votes - creating Medicare Part D, for example. But there’s NO evidence of any type where we might see how Cheney would vote on these issues, the only thing she’s flapped her yap about is the foreign policy issues. On that, she’s clearly a NWO interventionist, a neo-con meddler in the middle east, etc.

And I don’t know about you, but I’ve had more than enough of the neo-cons. The red diaper Jews (like Bill Kristol, Cheney’s co-founder of Keeping America Safe) who want to keep the US meddling in the middle east for the interests of Israel can go peddle their crap to the Democrats, as far as I’m concerned.

“The only “red” county (0bama majority) in Wyoming is Teton County.”

Do you have your colors right? I was under the impression that a Zero majority county is colored blue and that normal people live in counties that are colored red.

Please don’t tell me that the Socialist Lexicographers are effing around with the language again. It will make my head explode which gives me terrible headaches.

I think you have nailed it. Re-elect Enzi.

Let me add that Liz's dad was Gerald Ford's Chief of Staff.

The 3 or 4 freepers endorsing Liz Cheney will soon be responding with a “devastating breaking news” thread that “RINO Obama pal Mike Enzi once picked his nose in the third grade!!”

Doesn’t she live in Virginia?

WTH is she doing, following in Hillary’s footsteps? Her Parents live in Wyoming. I guess Carpetbaggers come from both Parties.

She should be going after a Democrat Seat where she really lives. We need to add Republicans to the Senate, not eat our own without gaining ground.

You are letting your hatred of Cheney/Bush/faggotry color your opinion of Enzi. The man is a go along get a long fossil dirt bag “conservative” beltway deal maker.

Our nation has been under assault by rampaging marxists and the only thing Enzi has led the charge on is an internet sales tax. Think about that.

We simply must remove and/or scare the heck out these red state GOP squishes if we are to have any chance of conservatives increasing their influence in the GOP.

>> We simply must remove and/or scare the heck out these red state GOP squishes

By replacing them with EVEN WORSE squishes?

That sounds like a terrible plan to me.

By the way, I don’t hate Liz Cheney, although what she’s doing I consider reprehensible.

I don’t know how you compute that I “hate Bush”, since I haven’t mentioned him.

What’s more, I don’t hate fags. I hate fagGOTRY and the fag LOBBY. Big, big difference.

Our nation is under assault from the homosexual agenda, and Cheney is a republican ally of the left on that all encompassing agenda that goes from the military and immigration, to marriage itself.

To we conservatives, her abortion and homosexual interests knock her out of any consideration for office, especially the Senate.

Yes, she’s very, very liberal.

Seeing her on different talk shows and panels, I have never seen her as anything but conservative.

What I have seen is that she speaks up and doesn't take anything off liberals and doesn't let them spew their lies without challenge.

I don't have a dog in their fight ...but I like conservatives who are speaking up and challenging liberals. IMO, there is a lot more to be said about how a member of Congress speaks up than voting.

Until Cheney decided to run against him, I'd never heard of Enzi and have no clue who he is. OTOH, I can put a face to her and have been impressed with what she has had to say. She's smart!

They aren’t even bothering to defend Liz, just attack Enzi.

Yep. We're supposed to believe Enzi will suddenly morph into Arlen Specter after 18 years of being one of the most reliably conservative Senators, so it's imperative that we MUST replace him with “someone” (and I doubt the neo-nazi nut on the ballot is the “someone” they had in mind)

Old threads like this prove NUMEROUS times that the Liz Cheney cheerleaders were warned about her on FR. Every single time, they tried to turn the topic back to how “bad” Enzi was. Well, Princess Liz is far worse than Enzi ever was. I have no sympathy over them tearing their hair out now that Princess Liz used daddy’s name to get a cushy elected office.

Elections have consequences.

You just told Billy his favorite words!!!! ;)

But of course, he was.

I opposed her as well but she is worse than I could have imagined, Romney in a skirt.
