The Cheneys Will Stop at Nothing to Get Liz Elected to the Senate
The Atlantic ^

Posted on 11/02/2013 11:54:13 AM PDT by ClaytonP

he Wyoming GOP primary campaign is already shaping up to be a scorched-earth affair, demonstrating the kind of senator Liz Cheney would likely be.

.....

Other Wyoming politicos who’ve tried to stay above the fray have found themselves drawn into the feud, notably Alan Simpson, the former Republican senator known for his crotchety demeanor. The Cheneys and the Simpsons were at a charity gala in Cody, Wyoming, when Lynne Cheney—Liz’s mother, Dick’s wife, and a writer of racy novels—allegedly approached Simpson and told him to “shut your mouth.” Simpson’s daughter-in-law posted about the incident on her Facebook page, and the local press picked up the story. Lynne issued a statement asserting that the interaction “simply did not happen.”

This denial apparently sent Simpson into a rage.

You must be one of Rush Limbaugh’s “low information voters” since Liz Cheney is happily married with 5 children. Either that or you are intentionally spreading FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) which is a typical progressive & RINO tactic. I honestly hope you are just misinformed.

Why is anybody posting anything here from that rag, The Atlantic?

My mother keeps sending me that magazine, and it goes directly into the garbage. I don’t even want to leave it at the doctor’s office.

A carpetbagger sending out emails declaring Wyoming is being invaded is pretty ridiculous

She’s not gay. Her sister is.

Liz Cheney is against gay marriage.

Wow the progressive magazine “The Atlantic” is doing a hit piece on Cheney (along with adding kind words for Enzi). The GOPe, Mitch McConnell, the progressive Democrats and their propaganda mouthpieces (such as The Atlantic) are joining in the fray. I guess they don’t want strong conservative reinforcements such as Liz Cheney joining Ted Cruz in the Senate.

I’m more guilty of being in a perpetual senior moment.

From Wikipedia:

(Liz) Cheney is one of two daughters of former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Second Lady Lynne Cheney (née Vincent); Cheney attended elementary school and Junior High in Casper, Wyoming. The family split time between Casper and Washington DC in the 1970s through the '80s following her father's election to Congress. [5] Cheney graduated from McLean High School (1984), where she was a cheerleader. She received her bachelor's degree from Colorado College, where she wrote her senior thesis, "The Evolution of Presidential War Powers," (1988).[3] She received her Juris Doctor degree from the University of Chicago Law School (1996), having also taken courses in Middle Eastern history at the Oriental Institute.[6]
Cheney is married to Philip Perry. They were married in Wyoming in 1993. She and Perry have five children: three daughters—Kate, Elizabeth, and Grace—and two sons, Philip and Richard.

That being said, I believe that she is, at the very least, sympathetic to homosexual marriage.

She will “evolve” her position as soon as she wins. I think we can count on it.
