Traditional marriage is the basic building block of society. If a Senator does not respect that or understand it, and votes for legislation to say otherwise, they have no business serving in the U.S. Senate and electing them to serve will cause irreversible harm to our nation as they support legislation that further deteriorates families and children from being raised by a mother and a father. Mike Enzi understands this and Liz Cheney does not.
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.
Yup.
I flat out don’t believe her and envy those that do, I wish could be that innocent and naive. She’s in desperation mode.
Even though all indications are that she’s getting clobbered, given the idiocy that just happened in the Louisiana special House election (where a RINO fooled some Tea party supporters into voting for him over the “establishment” candidate, a strong conservative) I can’t help but still be worried. I presume morons like Mark Levin are still pimping her candidacy.
Here's what I posted on a similar thread this morning:
There is zero reason to trust the Cheney’s on this. This public spat looks manufactured.
Dick Cheney has already come out for end to DADT and for same sex marriage now he is pulling a Kerry to help Liz get elected. The lesbo isnt running for anything so they can make believe they are throwing her under the bus..
:
“She’s in desperation mode.”
Great summary.
Yep. I pretty much summed it up the same way in posts #17 and #23.
I’m surprised that there are a number of gullible freepers on this thread who seem to believe Liz Cheney has always opposed gay marriage and now has a sincere falling out with her sister because of her Senate race. Of course, those of us who have followed her actions from 2007-2012 know her latest position doesn’t gel with that.
It isn’t even just the gay marriage issue, her beliefs on “gay rights” across the board have been reliably liberal for years (have to agree with Mary 100%, dontsa know). The latest example being the Senate bill to make it a federal law that anyone who is “openly gay” can get their employer punished if they were fire from their job and claim it was because they were “gay” (even if that had nothing to do with the reason). The bill got 10 GOP votes and would have received 11 if Cheney was in the Senate.
I don’t think it will have much of an effect with Wyoming GOP voters (especially since Enzi is still popular and has always been a reliable conservative vote there), but Impy makes a decent case that you can never been sure with conservative talking heads like Levin still pushing her candidacy. Interestingly enough, the national liberal media is with them on this and is trying to frame the primary election as “establishment Enzi vs. more conservative tea party challenger Liz Cheney”, if for no other reason than to waste conservative resources in Wyoming and create a news story where none exists. In both cases, no one who has made the claim that Liz Cheney is the “more conservative” candidate has been able to cite a single example where her track record is clearly more conservative than Enzi’s. They just hope that people will believe it if they say it enough times.
How about this...
maybe she's sincerely seen the errors of her past ways and its just coincidental that she's in this GOP primary trying to act like the most conservative......or...
Her dad Dick has publicly sided with her on this tiff and yet he is for gay marriage and for ending DADT both.
And he just happens to make a comment on TV show about Tea party being a positive force in this country WOWing many here, then when asked by Rush about shutdown to defund Obamacare he pretty much said it was a bad idea. )
This is pretty easy to detect stuff.
Dick and Liz's only GOP like interest up till now is defense, Iran, etc, and liberal on gay stuff.
now suddenly they are making so-con statements?
Puh-lease
If you’re a woman, you’re not married unless you have a HUSBAND.
And if a man, you’re not married unless you have a WIFE.
Yep, it is, in fact, as a Catholic I believe that fornication, or premarital sex is wrong, it hasn’t made me go trashing the homes of the high school/college pimps with grafitti, or attack my brother, who was living with his girlfriend for 12 years, and having kids, without marrying her, either in church or legally. I believe that homosexual behavior is wrong, but I have never actually attacked or done any real harm to anyone whom I have known to be homosexual. Again, that’s what the fringe political activists do, they have to make themselves victims, even if people just don’t pay attention to them and let them go about their business. It’s among the most absurd behavior I have ever seen. It also reeks of unhealthy paranoia as well. I mean, if you have to live your life thinking that people who think differently than you are out to get you, that’s just plain depressing.
It’s just narcissism. Sadly, too many people in high places give narcissism a field day...
