They all seem to be working off the same script, that’s for sure.
I don’t listen to talk radio much or read a bunch of blogs but someone major must be propagandizing on Liz’s behalf. The Cheneys have a lot of friends. Before she entered the race there was nary a peep about Enzi (and I haven’t heard anything from WY freepers about hating his guts) and suddenly he’s a dastardly RINO and everyone who takes the word of whoever it is as gospel keeps repeating that!
Lemmings, honestly they make me sick. They should try thinking for themselves once in a while.
He’s “weak”! He’s “not a fighter”. (Does everyone need to be in the limelight?) He’s “friends with Harry Reid”. The Internet tax is the only actual issue they mention. They compare him to Lindsay Graham.
I’d take a usually solid conservative-voting Senator who’s wrong on one issue and is actually FROM the state he represents over a pro-gay neocon princess (excuse me “leader”) who’s spent her whole life in the DC area any damn day of the week. There are too many Liz Cheney types in the Senate already, she’s the one to compare to someone like Graham.
Today Levin was complaining about the house play, passing those two offer bills that Reid rejects anyway so they can say they tried to compromise.
This is the perfect example between a radio talk show host and the real world.
A number of GOP have doing interviews (networks, CNN, etc) the past two days including Lee and Cruz. They look real happy being able to throw back at media examples of the GOP trying to compromise to impeach Obama pointing out how he isnt. Sure when asked on the spot they say that they personally wouldn't do that themselves ,'but that is not the point' ., But they love having that as a weapon to throw back at them.
Levin doesn't have to worry about that.
Exactly.
I don’t understand how people don’t see this.
As I’ve said on other threads, the Cheneys’ attachment to Wyoming is rather tenuous at best; only Lynne is really FROM Wyoming. Dick is actually from Nebraska. After they got ramped up in DC politics, their appearances in Wyoming were rather infrequent.
Liz was born out of state, then came back in when Dick ran for Congress, then left for DC when she was 12. That’s it.
Since she had no connections to the state, she could have purchased a residence anywhere in the state. If I were carpetbagging into this state, I’d try to be as centrally located near the largest amount of actual in-state money I could, and that means Casper, not Jackson (and its “suburb,” Wilson).
Buuuut, she didn’t do that. She decided to plop her little silk-pantied posterior down in the Jackson area, with all the other monied elitists from both coasts who don’t really like (or associate) with any of the people outside their precious little playground in the Jackson Hole area.
Mike Enzi was born and raised in Wyoming, went to the schools in Sheridan, then went on to become an accountant and retail marketer. He opened a shoe store in Gillette (oh no! Bar the door! Someone who has actually worked in the private sector! What will the Congress ever do!?) Enzi then went on to become mayor of GIllette, then served in the state assembly, then the state senate, then ran for Congress. He has a solid record here in Wyoming, and he’s not a rich braggart, which actually works for him. The Wyoming way of people is “shut up and show me results,” and Enzi has done that.
Liz Cheney is another goddamn lawyer, and so is her husband. If for no other reason, I’d vote against her for that right there, and if there were a way to do it, I’d vote them back out of the state. I’m sick to death of lawyers running this country.
