Why Liz Cheney?

Noting that Erickson of RedState has endorsed Cheney loud-and-clear, and noting that Ms. Cheney is the daughter of one of the country's most prominent War Party members (and that Sen. Enzi is not a RINO in almost any sense), it occurred to me that Ms. Cheney brings only one thing to the Senate primary:  a NeoCon/War Party flavor.

I ain't the only one.

...Making the case for an activist foreign policy has fallen largely to Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham, both of whom increasingly resemble the aging characters in Kingsley Amis’s The Old Devils, shambling around the Senate chamber and waxing nostalgic about the good old days when they could bomb other countries in peace. Beyond Rep. Tom Cotton, the neoconservative darling who still staunchly defends the Iraq intervention, there’s little fresh blood among Republican hawks in Congress these days. So perhaps it makes sense for Liz Cheney, the daughter of one of the architects of Bush-era foreign policy, to provide a Senate counterbalance to Paul.”...Domenech quoting Gerson

This will be interesting.

  1. Quoting Chris Hayes: "Liz Cheney is truly one of the most odious presences in American politics today."

    This could this be an understatement.

  5. Anon:

    No, she is not the gay one. On the contrary she is a sexual pervert. There is really nothing "gay" about that.
