Rep. Liz Cheney represents a dying breed of American conservatism. Her willingness to sacrifice her political future for the future of transparency and democracy in America deserves the utmost attention and respect.
As a lifelong Democrat, I have never agreed with GOP politics, but the challenges facing establishment conservatives like Cheney is bad for everyone in this country, Democrats included.
Since Donald Trump took control of the Republican Party during his run for executive office in 2016, few party members have been willing to stand up to the man and his supporters trying to undo hundreds of years of democratic institution building.
The participation of only two Republicans, Cheney and Rep. Adam Kinzinger, in the ongoing Jan. 6 committee hearings, and the venom they've received from members of their own party for participating in the investigation is hard to understand.
The post-truth Republican Party scares me
Trolls dominate today's GOP. The new heroes of the party are those with the least amount of professional preparation, and the least respect for the institution and people they serve.
My least favorites are:
►GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert of my home state of Colorado, who is under investigation on allegations of misappropriating campaign funds, and has been constantly in the news for embarrassing herself and the institution she represents. Advising locals not to vote for her, The Durango Herald said, "The woman is an embarrassment – to her district and her party."

There isn't really any point in voting for the gop if establishment TRAITORS are our only choice!!!!! I will vote for an independent unless I have a candidate I know I can trust, and there are a few, but I doubt any of them will survive the corrupt gop primary!!!!!!!!!!
As I have posted before: These three quotes, although, there are others...kind of sum-up what we are seeing today.
1. "All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed, they must rely exclusively on force."---George Orwell."
2. The government was set up to protect man from criminals - and the constitution was written to protect man from the government. The Bill of Rights was not directed at private citizens, but against the government-as an explicit declaration that individual rights supersede any public or social power."---Ayn Rand.
3. "Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."---Harry S. Truman.
Which leads us to "Vote em Out": But remember what this famous guy said quote: "It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything."----Joseph Stalin.
So as long as we keep using the same corrupted Election Officials, Election Rules, and Voting Machines then... expect a different outcome, I'm afraid were applying the Definition of Insanity. A final suggestion - Prayer, I'm good with Prayer but at this point I think we are too far gone as a Country and in need of a bit more action!
CC, I agree!!!!! I pray every day for a revival that will turn the country around!!!!! Our founders turned to prayer BEFORE they turned to armed rebellion, as I have!!!!! I am too old and disabled to be of help in a shooting war!!!!! My left side is paralyzed from a stroke and I can't hold a rifle, move very good, and certainly can't run or get down behind cover to protect myself!!!!! I am still waiting, after almost 8 years, for God to restore my body and hoping He will do so in time for me to be an asset when We the People have to take up arms in defense of liberty as our founders did!!!!!!!!!!
Bob this war will require much more than the armaments of men and conventional combat... Men like you, PRAYING and acting on the Word of God will be a key element in the war against the spirit behind this Marxist movement.
I am proud to know that you and I chewed on some of the same ground of adversity in our life... I am honored to be your friend and more.. a Christian warrior with you. God bless you and yours, and let no one discourage your faith in Christ and our certain hope of victory over the enemies of our spirit and God's creation. Amen
P/S I am praying and believing for the manifestation of your healing ... Now not later... today, not tomorrow. By the stripes of Jesus Christ, we are healed... anything less is a lying vanity.
It's the old fashion republicans that have surrender our country to the Marxist they are nothing but spineless cowards politicians and they are going out
Lorenzo, they aren't cowards, they are TRAITORS in cahoots with the devildemocommiecrats because they want a seat at the table when the new world order global dictatorship takes over!!!!! They will kill me right off the bat because I am disabled, and WILL NOT COMPLY with tyranny!!!!!!!!!!
No we need to get rid of RINOs like Cheney! for the good of the country, we need to replace them with Constitutional Conservative Republicans.
Martha, I doubt any Constitutional conservatives will survive the corrupt gop primary process because the establishment wants people they can control only not patriots who will stand up for We the People!!!!!!!!!!
Lets make sure that USA Tday foldes.
