Hi, readers!
There’s not a lot going on in the fever swamps of Freeperville lately – until today, that is,
Liz Cheney Dropping Out of Primary
CNN EmailPosted on Sunday, January 05, 2014 10:40:51 PM byBulletBobCo
First on CNN: Liz Cheney, whose bid to unseat Wyoming Sen. Mike Enzi sparked a round of warfare in the Republican Party and even within her own family, is dropping out of the Senate primary, sources told CNN’s John King.
Cheney, the eldest daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, began telling associates of her decision over the weekend and could make an announcement about the race as early as Monday.

Don’t believe the GOPs warnings’)Come now, boys – this was supposed to be another Tea Party Triumph! Didn’t you know that this was the grassroots against the establishment candidate? Surely some Freeper had some skin in this game!To: BulletBobCoQuite apart from the merits of Liz Cheney vs. Mike Enzi, this is a setback for insurgent in the Republican Party trying to oust the establishment. In other words, not viewed as a conservative vs. liberal matrix but as an insurgent vs. establishment contest, it is a setback.

She wanted DADT ended and rejoiced when it was, she was against DOMA, is against a constitutional amendment to save marriage, and supports gay marriage, and supports the State department move to the gay agenda.
After 46 years of life and politics, and being a member of the Romney campaign
Well, you don’t get more anti-establishment/insurgent than that.
Wait, wut?
where she never expressed a pro-life belief, anywhere, she has also suddenly became “strongly pro-life”, just for this campaign.
To: ansel12I don’t understand?

Just asking.

Liz Cheney an insurgent? Was that commenter in Colorado. I guess it’s now a Dickless Dynasty…
I grok needing a scorecard. And I see why you are fascinated by these folks.
it seems to me the whole lot of them are schizophrenic. Yay! Boo! Yay! So they support them until they quit or loose and then in hindsight, they weren’t so pure after all? I’m so confused.
Actually, Cheney got 5 deferments.
