LIZ CHENEY’S INNER DEMOCRAT COMES BOBBING TO THE SURFACE…


Like a turd in the bowl, Liz Cheney’s inner Democrat recently came bobbing to the surface. Most of us have long known that Cheney was only a Republican on the outside, possessing nothing more than a toxic Democrat puss-filled center. And she once again demonstrated how that remains to be the case when, this past Thursday she announced that she would be endorsing Michigan Rep. Elissa Slotkin, a Democrat, who is running in one of the most competitive House districts in the country. And in so doing Cheney was only doing what comes natural. She has long had a reputation for thinking herself smarter than the folks back home, the ones who voted for her.

And it was in a statement released to the Associated Press that Cheney said, “I have come to know Elissa as a good and honorable public servant.” She said, “While Elissa and I have our policy disagreements, at a time when our nation is facing threats at home and abroad, we need serious, responsible, substantive members like Elissa in Congress.” Cheney, as many will cheerfully recall, lost her primary to Harriet Hageman back in August, said in early October she would vote for Democrats Katie Hobbs and Adrian Fontes in Arizona’s gubernatorial and secretary of state races if she was eligible to do so. She did not, however, formally endorse either candidate.

Cheney had previously praised Slotkin to the New York Times, saying, “I would much rather serve with Mikie Sherrill and Chrissy Houlahan and Elissa Slotkin than Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, even though on substance certainly I have big disagreements with the Democratic women I just mentioned.” In a notable contrast with Slotkin, who has refused to outline any restrictions on abortion that she would accept, Cheney has described herself as “strongly pro-life.” And while I’m no political genius here, I can’t help but wonder if an endorsement from someone who lost their primary contest by 30 points can be seen as being worth all that much.

Slotkin, a two-term representative, has continued to face questions throughout her campaign regarding her place of residence. The congresswoman moved into the home of a lobbyist in May so she could live in Michigan’s Seventh District, where she is running for ‘reelection.’ Slotkin, who is in a new district, is residing in the home of one of her supporters rather than living on the family farm in her old district. And this same lobbyist, Jerry Hollister, has donated $2,900 to Slotkin’s campaigns since 2018, and it was in returning the favor that Slotkin promoted a program to the Department of Energy through which his company received $28 million.

But it’s none of that really seems to matter to Cheney, because she has long been working the same sort of scam from her seat, former seat, in the U.S. House. And add that the fact that Slotkin has voted in lock-step to advance Joey’s America Last agenda, which also seems just fine with Liz. Cheney clearly has an objective here, and it’s plain to see that it has nothing whatsoever to do with what’s best for the country that she professes to hold so much love for, or for the American people. She is, and always has been, nothing more than a fraud of the very highest order. I have no doubt that in a few weeks we’ll be seeing a lot of her either on CNN or MSDNC.

Slotkin’s challenger, Tom Barrett, is one of those dangerous supporters of President Trump. Barrett was among a group of Michigan Republican state lawmakers who met with President Trump in Washington after the 2020 election and later signed a letter asking the joint session of Congress to delay certifying the results. And as we all know, Cheney has recently spoken out against Republican candidates who subscribe to President Trump’s claim that he was denied a second term as the result of widespread voter fraud. She’s another RINO who, when the ‘wrong’ candidate wins seems to have no problem with turning a blind eye to obvious voter fraud.

You may also recall that it was Cheney who accused Arizona Republican nominee for governor, Kari Lake, of posing “a huge risk for democracy” in light of the candidate’s statement that she would refuse to certify election results she opposes. Cheney has become literally consumed by her hatred of Donald Trump. And frankly I’m surprised that we haven’t heard how it that she will be supporting the Democrat now vying for her soon to be old seat. Or maybe that has already been reported and I just missed it. What a disappointment this woman has been, and continues to be. And to think that I actually once thought she was someone who could be trusted. Well I feel sheepish!

Cheney has apparently decided to burn all the bridges she can as she makes her way to the exit. But it matters not, it’s unlikely that, in the big scheme of things, these endorsements will matter all that much, if at all. Cheney exudes arrogance over substance, self-righteousness over accomplishments and stubbornness over reality. Even Democrat voters aren’t stupid enough not to realize why it is that she’s choosing to endorse a Democrat. So, therefore, is such an endorsement actually worth anything to the person being endorsed. So what we very likely have here, is a loser that lost endorsing another loser who will also very likely lose. Politics, you gotta love it!

Clearly Cheney possesses an over-inflated sense of importance if she genuinely thinks that there is anyone who will choose to act on her endorsement of any candidate, regardless of political party. Cheney long ago shot herself in the foot to the point where she no longer has any credibility with voters on either side of political aisle yet. And yet, she continues to act as if she does. Cheney is very obviously suffering from some pretty delusions of grandeur. Cheney continues to suffer the consequences of her own actions, of having allowed herself to be blinded by her hatred of Donald Trump. And yet she persists with this insanity, making noise and accomplishing nothing.
