, after Republican leaders forswore it, she accepted immediately. “I’m asking you to understand that I will never violate my oath of office, and if you’re looking for somebody who will then you need to vote for somebody else,” she said in a recent debate.
Senator Simpson, droll as ever at 90, was once booted from a leadership position himself, for insisting on being pro-choice in a pro-life party. He is delighted by Ms Cheney’s resistance to the herd: “She’s her own person.” He describes an environment of hate and nihilism around Mr Trump like nothing he has seen. “The guy is a wrecking ball of history,” he says.
Dems: give credit to Cheney for evaluating a person's (Trump) actual actions (insurrection) and not blindly treating every act of that person as good despite some policy agreement. Economist: shouldn't you blindly treat all policies of Cheney as good if you agree on one issue?
*Some* Democrats are treating Liz Cheney as a hero...
We share the love of country over any policy differences. Given the current political climate in this country, we need all the friends we can get. After that, then we can go back to arguing about marginal tax rates, etc.
Necessity makes for strange bedfellows.
She’s not a hero. I respect what she’s doing on the Jan. 6 committee & am grateful. But, she’s doing her job-defending our constitution & democracy, honoring her oath.
1. Democrat politicians have always liked her because she is part of the establishment uniparty. It was all pretend for controlled opposition 2. The average voter will eat this up because it scores their tribe points. How often did info on covid get changed and they didn't care?
Non sequitur… Liz is a hero with more integrity and skill than the Democrats on her Jan 6 team, but respecting Liz for her allegiance to democracy and rejecting her many unacceptable policies are not mutually exclusive.
Yes because doing one important thing right one time means that nothing else you've ever done should be criticized and everything else you've ever done should be respected.
You can disagree about policy (fiscal, foreign, etc) all you want- but those lines come together at a common bedrock that seeks truth on the attempts to prevent the peaceful transfer of power, a hallmark of the last 246yrs of the American democratic experiment......right?
I don't see why it would prompt that question. Nor do I see it as relevant.
She was stepping to the podium w/rest of the GOP traitors, talking reckless abt D’s on the regular prior to J6!
No. I can feel both ways. The number one priority is maintaining our democracy. I can respect her for that and still disagree with other stances. I applaud her
zannymb I am using the digital app to consume great content and learn about the world, not to warm my hand and have the battery drop by 15% in 10 minutes - this is very bad.
Everyone Should know Liz Cheney is a Conservative Republican. She is well known by Democrats. Why are many surprised?🧐
She is not being treated as a hero. She is being respected for standing up and doing what is right. There is zero heroic in that.
Umm.
zannymb the audio player on the digital app is not working well and drains battery life (I can feel the phone grow hot) - this is a strong indicator of serious software faults and I hope the engineers will look at this pronto.
Of course no
The Jan6 committee
No President inspired so much artistic creations as Trump, that's for sure. He probably entered history as the most artistically portrayed president .
Assuming that support for Trump is equivalent to low intelligence is a logic trap. Trump supporters prioritize gun rights, abortion bans, military support, big business, low taxes, low regulation A smart democrat would embrace these ideals
So you just took an old drawing of Dick Cheney and added hair and an earring huh?
Good riddance! She is a Democrat. Not because of J6, but because it’s so one sided without rebuttal from the accused parties. It’s a political vendetta led by a Democrat Lynch mob! Nothing more!
For a state with a pretty high ranking in public education, it is a mystery as to how the public can be so gullible or down right stupid when it comes to believing lies. Could a conclusion be intelligence does not = accepting truth, or desires to assuage insecurities are greater?
