Enzi (WY) - 2014 - 78% (Average) - 73% (Heritage) - 71% (CFG) - 92% (ACU) - 77% (FreedomWorks)
Is it a coincidence that Wyoming is one of the best governed most fiscally sound states in the union? I think not.
Dick Cheney always seemed reliably conservative to me. He and Rumsfeld were on the right side of Bush, with Powell and Rice on the left. Conservative and isolationist are not the same thing. Rand’s isolationism is very much a stock libertarian viewpoint and has nothing to do with conservatism in the foreign policy arena as exemplified by Ronald Reagan.
Romney team member Liz Cheney is in some ways more open about her liberalism, she has openly supported gay marriage for years, like Romney she has always been for homosexualizing the military, but she was so gay marriage the she opposed both DOMA AND a constitutional amendment to protect marriage.
She has refused to ever utter a pro-life position until for this campaign, in which she has gone total Romney and now proclaims a NEW Liz Cheney.
The homosexual agenda? Pro-abortion? No thanks.
Could easily be because he is up for reelection.
He deserves support for that vote, even if he hates the TEA Party.
We’ve never seen a carpetbagging liberal run for a Senate seat before ? Whut ?
Democrats do wield power in this state. They’re a minority party, but in the past, the state has voted for Democrats.
For example, our previous governor was Dave Freudenthal. He was a very well liked governor, pro-gun, pro-hunting, was willing to take on the Feds (USFS and USFWS) over the rampant re-introduction of wolves into Wyoming when all the Republicans were being pussies, was highly effective in getting things done, was much more open about his policies and thoughts on various issues of the day (would get on the local radio station for a solid hour every month) and fiscally very prudent.
Compared to the current GOP governor (Meade), Freudenthal was more competent, IMO, and more open about what he was doing and why he was doing it.
So, the idea that the DNC couldn’t make inroads here is a false one. All they need is a clear-thinking, level-headed person who doesn’t come from Teton County (ie, where Lizzy has planted herself) and they can run a competitive race.
Who’s more likely to fall in line with the coalition Cruz is developing? I wouldn’t trust Cheney to be anyhing but NWO type, and I don’t like that she isn’t trying to bring it in somewhere that isn’t a sure ‘pub win.
I would vote for Liz Cheney over Enzi in a heartbeat. Why? Because Enzi has been there long enough. He’s old. We need new blood with a fighting spirit and anyone who has seen her on news programs knows that Liz Cheney is a fighter.
