Especially when it comes to foreign policy.
But I stand with her on this.
Every one of you Trumpies should read this. I can copy & paste it in if need be.

Never did answer that one, I see.
Everyone has to toe the Trump line now, or get out.
Maybe the Proud Boys would welcome you.
......so now you understand why we are very supportive of the Republican Party and Trump as conservatives.

You see, Cheney is not the consistent conservative that a state like Wyoming deserves to represent it's interests. But again, that is for the voters to decide (and I think that we both know that she will lose in the next primary).
The Left Wing agenda is so extreme that support of the alternative is critical. You thought so when the Dem primaries were going on as well. Unfortunately, Biden has not proven to be the damper to the Far Left that we thought he would be since he
a) has no real values and will bend to teh popular movement of the day in his party to maintain his power,
and/or b) he's senile and his handlers are Far Left extremists. (I believe both a & b are true).
Regarding the sycophants, I am never ok with them regardless of which party they inhabit. It is the reason that I can't listen to Sean Hannity.
If I say yes, you will twist the answer.
Probably the same with the Dem party. I ask the question, you say yes, then I talk about the crazy AOC/MaxineWaters/Antifa/BLM/green-new-deal-debt-mongers/changing-gender-of-kids side of your party.

"There is much at stake now, including the ridiculous wokeness of our political rivals, the irrational policies at the border and runaway spending that threatens a return to the catastrophic inflation of the 1970s"
Liz Cheney: The GOP is at a turning point. History is watching us.
Opinion by Liz Cheney
May 5, 2021 at 4:05 p.m. CDT
Liz Cheney, a Republican, represents Wyoming’s at-large congressional district in the U.S. House.
In public statements again this week, former president Donald Trump has repeated his claims that the 2020 election was a fraud and was stolen. His message: I am still the rightful president, and President Biden is illegitimate. Trump repeats these words now with full knowledge that exactly this type of language provoked violence on Jan. 6. And, as the Justice Department and multiple federal judges have suggested, there is good reason to believe that Trump’s language can provoke violence again. Trump is seeking to unravel critical elements of our constitutional structure that make democracy work — confidence in the result of elections and the rule of law. No other American president has ever done this.
The Republican Party is at a turning point, and Republicans must decide whether we are going to choose truth and fidelity to the Constitution. In the immediate wake of the violence of Jan. 6, almost all of us knew the gravity and the cause of what had just happened — we had witnessed it firsthand.
House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) left no doubt in his public remarks. On the floor of the House on Jan. 13, McCarthy said: “The president bears responsibility for Wednesday’s attack on Congress by mob rioters. He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding.” Now, McCarthy has changed his story.
I am a conservative Republican, and the most conservative of conservative values is reverence for the rule of law. Each of us swears an oath before God to uphold our Constitution. The electoral college has spoken. More than 60 state and federal courts, including multiple Trump-appointed judges, have rejected the former president’s arguments, and refused to overturn election results. That is the rule of law; that is our constitutional system for resolving claims of election fraud.
The question before us now is whether we will join Trump’s crusade to delegitimize and undo the legal outcome of the 2020 election, with all the consequences that might have. I have worked overseas in nations where changes in leadership come only with violence, where democracy takes hold only until the next violent upheaval. America is exceptional because our constitutional system guards against that. At the heart of our republic is a commitment to the peaceful transfer of power among political rivals in accordance with law. President Ronald Reagan described this as our American “miracle.”
While embracing or ignoring Trump’s statements might seem attractive to some for fundraising and political purposes, that approach will do profound long-term damage to our party and our country. Trump has never expressed remorse or regret for the attack of Jan. 6 and now suggests that our elections, and our legal and constitutional system, cannot be trusted to do the will of the people. This is immensely harmful, especially as we now compete on the world stage against Communist China and its claims that democracy is a failed system.
For Republicans, the path forward is clear.
First, support the ongoing Justice Department criminal investigations of the Jan. 6 attack. Those investigations must be comprehensive and objective; neither the White House nor any member of Congress should interfere.
Second, we must support a parallel bipartisan review by a commission with subpoena power to seek and find facts; it will describe for all Americans what happened. This is critical to defeat the misinformation and nonsense circulating in the press and on social media. No currently serving member of Congress — with an eye to the upcoming election cycle — should participate. We should appoint former officials, members of the judiciary and other prominent Americans who can be objective, just as we did after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The commission should be focused on the Jan. 6 attacks. The Black Lives Matter and antifa violence of last summer was illegal and reprehensible, but it is a different problem with a different solution.
Finally, we Republicans need to stand for genuinely conservative principles, and steer away from the dangerous and anti-democratic Trump cult of personality. In our hearts, we are devoted to the American miracle. We believe in the rule of law, in limited government, in a strong national defense, and in prosperity and opportunity brought by low taxes and fiscally conservative policies.
There is much at stake now, including the ridiculous wokeness of our political rivals, the irrational policies at the border and runaway spending that threatens a return to the catastrophic inflation of the 1970s. Reagan formed a broad coalition from across the political spectrum to return America to sanity, and we need to do the same now. We know how. But this will not happen if Republicans choose to abandon the rule of law and join Trump’s crusade to undermine the foundation of our democracy and reverse the legal outcome of the last election.
History is watching. Our children are watching. We must be brave enough to defend the basic principles that underpin and protect our freedom and our democratic process. I am committed to doing that, no matter what the short-term political consequences might be.
I would support investigation of all illegal wrongdoing. I won't support investigation and effort to imprison only the Right, while the Leftist protesters are all released. Fuck that. Show me an editorial by a Democrat calling for all the antifa and BLM terrorists to be hunted down and imprisoned, and then lets talk.
Sorry, but the Left is politicizing our justice system...and then pretending that they aren't. Apparently they have tricked her. She will go down with her ship with a blindfold on, wondering what is happening, and the people who tried to tell her will just roll their eyes and say, "We tried to tell you. They were destroying democracy, and we tried to save it, but you were living in your 1980's bubble."

I actually laughed out loud at that one. Well done.

Somehow the lib or closet lib tag doesn’t fit well.
Her record is more conservative than the woman who will replace her. Way more conservative. Yet the dolts will remain willfully blind.

She is being pushed out only because she won’t go along with the stolen election lie to appease the former occupant. They are replacing her with a woman with a much more liberal voting record because that’s who HE wants in there. But yeah, NOT A CULT.
RINO’s by Republican voters. To me she is the ultra conservative who in this open letter clearly shows she does have a strong value set and scruples. I have never been a fan of hers (shocker, I know) but her claim about Trump and the direction of the Republican Party is spot on.
On normal days and times I wouldn’t pay her any mind and really couldn’t care less if she lost her standing in the Republican leadership. But these are not normal days in American politics. Her party has clearly lost perspective. Whether this is the unraveling of her party or not, it will take a toll on it. Trump has created a fault line and each temblor in the party will deepen and broaden their divide - within the party and with the American voter.

power is a hellava drug and they know the only way to obtain it is fall inline with Trumpism. They have abandoned their core principles and someone who even voted with Trump 90% of the time which is crazy!
Here's your parting gift. Thanks for playing.
