I may be wrong, you may be right...

[monmouth]

but I do think that they're going to run Liz Cheney for President in 2012. I also think the media suspects the same, i.e. giving her the exposure she needs to get her/darth's opinions out there. The extreme right would love this, namely Faux's Billy Kristol and since Sara has pretty much blown her chances, the repubs want a "first" something, anything. First woman POTUS Cheney would make her old man's heart/machine zip right along. She's a nasty bit of work, never has her facts straight and the media seems to bow down to her. Yep, I could be wrong and you may be right in thinking I'm crazy on this but it will be interesting to see what comes of my radical thinking here. She does fit the profile of a repug perfectly....

1. she's obviously hateful enough and can lie with a straight face...she's perfect

[peace13]

2. Her ability to spread the bile is 500% better than her Alaskan sister.

Yes Mz.Liz could be the one. If Americans want 100% war 24/7/365 she would be the candidate. I would have to poke my eardrums out before attempting to listen to the debates. Liz Cheney exemplifies the perfect form of evil packaged in a woman's body.

3. Thanks guys. I figured I'd hear a "What! You crazy?"....lol...n/t

[DCKit]

7. Hardly. The Republics are desperate. They'd run Mr. Ed if they thought he might win.

I would also hope President Obama will no longer be so polite at the 2011 debates, regardless of what or who they choose to run. It would be refreshing to hear him use the word "lie" against a Republican opponent.

4. holy crap, that would be scary because she is so beyond the

pale insane. that being said, i can picture a certain low information segment of USA/Americans being attracted to her, with her wingnut lesbian sister at her side to add to the wierdness of it all.

[eleny]

5. If that happens, Obama would be running against Bush/Cheney

There's so much to go after.

[lunatica]

6. Yeah, but does anyone like her or identify with her?

Sarah has her followers swooning over her because they think she's one of them. Who in the world likes the Cheneys? They aren't fun people and I don't think they have many friends, though they may have supporters.

They may try, but I think Liz Cheney will just end up rubbing everyone the wrong way.

On the other hand maybe they're setting her up as Vice President. Just like Daddy, with every intention of acting just like him since he'll be telling her what to do.

8. I don't think you're crazy. Now, I may be crazy for thinking

she AND vader were going to run as team during their non stop jibber jabber earlier this year,

9. I remember a lot of feminist silliness back in the 70s

about how women in positions of great power were going to bring about fundamental changes in the way the country operates, making it more humane and nurturing, because of course women were far superior to that male 50% of the human race.

The women who were allowed to succeed into positions of great power, alas, were generally of the Schlafly, Cheney and Palin variety, women who were happy to use everything we fought for but determined no other woman would be able to use it.

I'm almost grateful these high profile female monsters exist, it relieved us of an awful burden. Being the morally superior half of the human race was exhausting as well as impossible.

Lynne Cheney would put an almost human face on the GOP, though, and she's a neocon's dream, someone who would probably allow her husband to dictate much foreign policy while her domestic policy would maximize cruelty toward the American people in the name of capitalist purity.

Fighting her would have to include fighting her husband, something that will make many feminists uncomfortable, but is entirely appropriate in a right wing marriage where lip service at least is paid to female submission.

11. I'm talking Liz, the daughter not Lynne the wife. My other question to

you...."Feminist silliness of the 70s"?????? I was one of those feminists and didn't think of it as silly at all.

[Warpy]

15. Ah, my bad, I get all the right wing drones confused

especially in that family. The bad seed seems to breed true, doesn't it?

As for silliness, it was silly. We produce monsters, too, and our monsters are the only ones the PTB allow to succeed.

[Chemisse]

13. That 'feminist silliness' is what got women where we are today

I am grateful to each and every one of those who pioneered feminism.

[Warpy]

16. Perhaps you need to reread the post

because I clearly defined the silly part.

The operative word, in case you still can't manage to understand, is "part."

[Chemisse]

17. This is the part of your post I found offensive

"I remember a lot of feminist silliness back in the 70s

about how women in positions of great power were going to bring about fundamental changes in the way the country operates, making it more humane and nurturing, because of course women were far superior to that male 50% of the human race."

It may be that you just did not express yourself clearly. Maybe you did not mean to call the early feminists 'silly' and state that they believed they were 'far superior to the male 50% of the human race.' But that is how it came through to me.

[Warpy]

19. Oh, right, all 70s feminists were true giants

who did everything right and never had bad hair days or went to the bathroom.

[Chemisse]

21. I'm just not seeing your logic on this issue.

Your response doesn't make sense to me. Are you high?

[Berry Cool]

10. What is this, a new Billy Joel song?

"I may be wrong, I may be crazy
Well it just may be a lunatic they're looking for...
I may be wrong but for all you know I may be right"

You gotta be kidding. Tonya Harding for President?

[monmouth]

14. I swear, that damned song has been in my head all day. Glad

you noticed. I do love the Billy Joel....

[Bobbie Jo]

12. If they think running Spawn of Satan is a good idea....

then they're far more delusional than I thought. :wtf:

[ljm2002]

18. I don't think so, and here's why...

...she has never been elected to any office, anywhere, as far as I can tell. Even the looniest of the loonies expect their Presidential candidates to have some experience in running and winning elections. (not that they care too much *how* those elections are "won"...).

[NoSheep]

20. I've seen a lot of things happen that I never thought would.
