Liz Cheney is going to New Hampshire. She's getting her political operation in order. And she's raising money like mad from icons of the Republican Party.
The Wyoming congresswoman is clearly exploring her political options and power well beyond her congressional district, even if she's not talking openly about a run for president.
"I've never had a conversation with her about 2024," said Eric Edelman, a former ambassador, Pentagon official and adviser to former Vice President Dick Cheney. "If there was going to be a Never Trump candidate, I can't think of anyone better."
Eight months after she voted to impeach Donald Trump, Cheney continues to be one of the party's most vocal critics of the former President and his hold on the Republican Party. The three-term House member has also said she would do "whatever it takes" to prevent Trump from becoming president again and has not closed the door on running for the White House herself.
Cheney's immediate political goal, however, is to retain her House seat from Harriet Hageman, a Trump-backed primary challenger. To help, she is marshaling the forces of the pre-Trump GOP establishment.
On October 18, former President George W. Bush will attend a fundraiser for Cheney in Dallas, co-hosted by former US Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison and top Bush campaign aides Karl Rove and Karen Hughes.
Former Republican House Speakers John Boehner and Paul Ryan also raised money for Cheney earlier this year. And on top of that, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sens. Lindsey Graham and Mitt Romney have all donated to Cheney through their respective political action committees.

“Elders”. Heh. Pals of Diaper Joe, obviously. :-)
This woman just doesn’t get the fact that the more she opens her mouth, the less people like her. Jeb Bush raised lots of cash but failed miserably. I hope the Republican “Elders” waster a lot of money backing her. She is toast!
If she wins another race we’ll know for certain it was fixed. No one will vote for her.
Paul Ryan and Dubya are dead to me.
Go to work for cnn, you are done..
But it OK, why don’t you please waste RINOS money.
Great idea !!!
Well at least she'll walk away with a bunch of campaign cash.
“Republican House Speakers John Boehner and Paul Ryan also raised money for Cheney”
Keep voting RINO and this is what you get. The current traitors in office, McConnell and McCarthy, are nothing but opportunistic grifters eager to sell us out for a dime.
That would be like Jeffrey Dahmer running for president.
Chuckle.
Elders = people who have helped destroy the country.
All these GOP “RINO” elders are whistling past the graveyard. They have each others votes and that is it.
Liz Cheney’s future will follow a typical Roman empire, DC deep-state course
She’ll first get a position in some “think tank,” or maybe at a university.
She’ll collect any corruption money she is owed.
Mainstream media will trot her out as needed for “Republican Opinion.”
Maybe she’ll be called on to form some future deep-state lobbying organization like the “Lincoln Project” Those are also always good money-laundering operations too.
If RINOs can again take control, she may even be given a cabinet position.
Washington has open primaries. Democrats are very organized, and they could in theory provide enough numbers to push her over the edge. If that does happen, I hope the republicans sit out the general. Lizard must be removed at all costs.
BTW, Georgia also has open primaries, and so Kemp does have a chance at winning his primary.
The Lincoln Project candidate. Any bets on the votes she could get? How many votes can her daddy buy for her.
Less than two years later, he took a dirt nap. I actually felt kind of sorry for him. He could have got beaten by just a little more in GOP primary, endorsed his opponent and spent the last two years of his life as a respected elder statesman whose career highlight was giving us Judge Clarence Thomas. He did not choose wisely.
How'd all that work out for Jeb Bush?
I’ve been warning for years about this traitor!

LIZ CHENEY. Take a good look...this is the face of GOP elitism!
https://towncriernews.blogspot.com/2013/07/liz-cheney-take-good-lookthis-is-face.html
snip
The men in Liz’s life.........
DICK CHENEY
Liz is Dick Cheney’s daughter...THAT alone should make you run the other way! What good did he EVER do the republican party or this country for that matter?
Her father and mother and her lesbian sister Mary all hold liberal social views that should worry you social conservatives. Mary once said, ‘I think you’d be hard-pressed to find any daylight at all between Liz’s and my father’s views.”
Cesar Conda, of current Amnesty fame, was Dick Cheney’s domestic policy advisor.
GEORGE W. BUSH
Liz was appointed by Pres. G.W. Bush in 2002 to the position of Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs for 2 years then took a break to help with the re-election of her dad.
In 2005, she returned to the US State Department and was appointed the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State For Near Eastern Affairs and Coordinator for Broader Middle East and North Africa Initiatives. In this position, Cheney supported and coordinated U.S. multilateral efforts to promote and support democracy, expanded education and economic opportunities in the Middle East and Northern Africa. Cheney oversaw the launch of two semi-independent foundations for those areas, the Fund of the Future (worth $100 million), to provide capital for small businesses and the Foundation of the Future (worth $55 million), to promote freedom of the press and democracy. In that capacity, Cheney endorsed a draft of a new Iraqi constitution.
The lady flat knows how to spend our money in places that hate us and I recall that many of us were unhappy with parts of that Iraqi constitution which instituted Islam as a state religion and called universal health care a ‘right’ among other questionable ‘rules’ and ‘rights’ .
Liz held an important 2nd position at State Dept. She is typical of the people retired Rep. Duncan Hunter called “Knuckleheads at the department of State” during the time she served. This is also the same time when Bush’s State Dept. allowed ‘refugees’ like the tens of thousands of Somali’s and others generously brought to our country, who now cause so many problems.
One has only to remember the recent history of those lovely Chechan Boston bombing brother refugees, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to know how many bad apples the State Department ushered in while Liz Cheney was close to the helm.
Cheney signed on in June 2007 to serve as one of three national co-chairs for Fred Thompson’s 2008 presidential campaign. Another co-chair was Spencer Abraham, who once hired Cesar Conda as his chief of staff as he now holds the same position for Marco Rubio. After Thompson dropped out of the race, Cheney announced that she would work for Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign, serving as a senior foreign policy advisor. Cesar Conda also worked as an advisor for Romney in his last run and was a mentor to Paul Ryan.
PHILIP PERRY.....WHO??
That is Mrs. Philip Perry. Liz Cheney is the mother of his five children, who had been accused of corruption and cronyism and said a few years ago, “The term ‘revolving door’ implies people going in and out of government in order to obtain monetary gain. The reason people go into government is to serve their country. It’s not appropriate to describe that as a ‘revolving door.’”
.....right......
Phil Perry is the poster boy for K street/whitehouse cronyism and revolvingdoorism!
In 2007, TheTownCrier wrote several articles detailing some of the questionable ‘work’ Perry headed at the Justice Dept. One is titled, “Exposing the Dept. of Job Security (who is Philip Perry?)”.
In his position as the General Counsel for the DHS, appointed by his friend Michael Chertoff, Perry supervised over 1,500 lawyers, and advised Secretary Chertoff, who had been a close associate at their lobbying/lawyer firm and the White House on the Department’s legal and policy issues. Issues of influence for Perry included, but were not limited to, “the transit of people and cargo, comprehensive immigration reform, and critical infrastructure such as chemical plants.”
BUSH/McCain/Kennedy COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM! AMNESTY! HELLO!
‘Transit of people and cargo’....NO ONE in the Bush DOJ EVER did anything to enforce those laws!
“Perry’s questionable behavior extends far beyond nepotism and delaying investigations. He’s also a pro at jumping back and forth between government and the private sector, doing what he can to benefit industry along the way. After Bush became president, Perry moved from being a junior partner at the DC law firm Latham & Watkins to holding the position of Associate-Attorney General for the Department of Justice. He then moved to the Office of Management and Budget as General Counsel, where he had a hand in drafting plans for DHS. In 2003, he returned to Latham & Watkins as a member of their Homeland Security practice group and lobbied on behalf of Lockheed Martin and other companies.”
One article on Mr. Perry you should read is, ‘Dick Cheney’s Dangerous Son-in-Law, Philip Perry and the politics of chemical security’ by Art Levine.
It details nefarious dealings when Perry was general counsel of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), another powerful Bush/Cheney appointment.
The point here is that the OMB is supposed to be impartial, a ‘guide’ to the administration, not to make policy decisions at the VP’s behest! When you’re running an administration that isn’t corrupt you don’t appoint a relative as a watchdog! HELLO!
[snip](A colleague, Michael Chertoff, would later head the Department of Homeland Security.) In 2000, when Cheney became George W. Bush’s running mate, Perry found himself in the inner circle of advisers surrounding his father-in-law. Friends describe him as intellectually brilliant and extremely discreet. Fittingly, in the vice president’s debate-prep sessions, Perry played the role of moderator. The Republican political consultant Mary Matalin, who worked with him in the mock debates, described Perry to Legal Times as “very, very, very strategic.”
When the election of 2000 was resolved, Perry took on the title of “policy coordinator” for the Bush-Cheney presidential transition. By early 2001, he had been appointed as the acting associate attorney general at the Department of Justice, the department’s third-ranking official. It was a dramatic promotion.
While Perry mostly stayed out of the news, the summer brought some unwelcome attention. The Department of Justice, it was reported, would stop pursuing a breakup of Microsoft. Since Perry oversaw the antitrust division, and Cheney had previously met with Microsoft’s CEO, some critics smelled a fix.[snip]
In January 2007, during the uproar over the imprisonment of Ramos and Compean, two border agents and the false statements made by the Justice Dept., Perry announced his intention to step down as general counsel of the Department of Homeland Security and was rumored to be returning to Latham & Watkins. Elizabeth Cheney, Perry’s wife, had given birth to the couple’s fifth child in July 2006.
We will likely never know how deeply Perry was buried in the pathetic prosecution and imprisonment of these two border agents for doing their jobs. We do know of other problems he handled for DHS that point directly to him.
CESAR CONDA
Pro Amnesty, anti enforcement open border HACK. Pal of all things Grover Norquist.
The guy who pulls Marco Rubio’s strings. Mentor to Paul Ryan. Advisor to Mitt Romney. Domestic policy advisor to Dick Cheney. FRIEND of Liz.
Florida Elections: The Crist to Rubio Switch (A former Dick Cheney assistant changes his mind) National Review ^ | 02/09/2010 | by Cesar Conda
[snip] Charlie Crist, if elected, would make a fine U.S. senator, and would probably be a reliable Republican vote on most issues. But I think Marco Rubio is more likely to be a leader when it comes to putting foward innovative conservative policy reforms and alternatives to America’s problems.
I’ve rounded up a group of friends, including Rep. Paul Ryan, Mary Matalin, Liz Cheney, ..... among others, to host an evening reception in my offices (901 7th Street, N.W., Washington) for Rubio after his speech before CPAC on Thursday, February 18. I’d invite all Corner readers to come over to meet Marco, who I believe will be Florida’s next U.S. Senator.
— Cesar Conda was assistant for domestic policy to Vice President Dick Cheney and senior economic policy adviser to the 2008 Mitt Romney for President Campaign.
QUESTION: How does a player like Conda get to be a lowly state rep’s chief of staff...WHO hired WHO????
According to an article today, “ Since leaving public office, Liz co-founded a non-profit called Keep America Safe which advocates for Republican ideals. She currently serves as the chairwoman of the conservative group.”
Interestingly, we’re unable to access their website, keepamericasafe.com and others just won’t load. She and Wm. Kristol...you know that great ‘conservative’ Icon (yeah, I’m a comedian) are joined in that endeavor, whatever it stands for.
This may explain it, “As of the early 2013, KAS appeared to be largely inactive. Although its website provided links to outside news sources covering current events, materials on the group’s resource pages—such as links to materials by neoconservative writers like Elliott Abramsand reports from the Center for Security Policy—all dated back several years. The group reported just over $200,000 in contributions in 2011, compared to over $535,000 in 2010”
Somewhere, sometime, Liz may have said she is not for ‘amnesty’....so did Bush, Conda and Rubio & Ryan! Actually, she’s avoiding the subject and there just isn’t anything to quote her on. But you can know someone by the company they keep, and Liz is hanging out with ALL the wrong men.
It will be interesting to find out the powers that be behind a Liz campaign for office when there is a conservative GOP Senator already in place...Enzi....who isn’t an amnesty freak......this all has the smell of a Grover Norquist operation.

UPDATE: Well, look here....who is singing the praises of Liz Cheney? The same rag that loves John McCain.....BEWARE...the media is picking our candidates...the ones THEY want!
