If you believe that Liz Cheney is not conservative enough, then we have to be content with a conservative placeholder. But if you believe that her conservatism is generally sufficient, then you should consider whether she will be more effective in retarding the socialist advance and whether she will play a greater role than Enzi has proved himself capable of playing in advancing conservatism?
If your judgment about the relative differences in conservatism between these two candidates turns on who is more anti-homosexual rather than who will be a more effective Senator in the Ted Cruz-Rand Paul mold for the conservative cause over all, I think your judgment is misplaced.
I believe the Cheney's conservatism is generally sufficient, that she would have been a more effective Senator for the conservative cause than Enzi has proven to be.
I believe that there is a salutary effect in putting the fear of God in the rest of those establishment Rino Senators by bumping a few placeholders off.
I believe that what we have been doing ain't working and we had better look for radical solutions.
I believe the keeping Enzi is to shore up the establishment under the circumstances.
