Why Dick Cheney's daughter lost her party

Against Crony Capitalism

on Surber  "Dick Cheney's daughter lectured Republican congressmen on decorum, earning seal-like applause from National Review. The headline was a hoot, "Liz Cheney: ‘We Cannot Become the Party of QAnon.’ "

"She had just survived an unusual vote to strip her of her party leadership. In response, she became the teacher chastising the class for their behavior when the substitute teacher presided. 

"Her full statement, according to National Review, was, "I have to tell you I am really, deeply, deeply concerned about where we are as a party."

Lie No. 1. Dick's daughter could no more care about her party than her father does. They got theirs. She just uses Republicans to get power. Did you see any Cheneys campaigning for the party's presidential nomination last year? I didn't.

"She went on, saying, "I am very concerned about the extent to which we are spending all of our time on these issues and these battles and not on the battles that really matter, the battles over substance, the battles over ensuring that we don’t watch the Biden administration go down the path where they have an open runway to absolutely eliminate our freedom."" . . .

. . . "Dick's daughter can keep her phony baloney leadership post and work to ride Marjorie Taylor Greene out of Washington on a rail.

"But I doubt Wyomingites will re-elect the Dick's daughter because they now realize she is just another Democrat living in Washington. She's a plain Jane version of Meghan McCain, but just as spoiled.

"She lost her party because she failed to do a damned thing for the voters.  . . ."
