Cheney grovels for a Cabinet post from Harris
Not long ago, I wrote that Republican apostate Liz Cheney would have no future in politics. That once her role as the useful idiot for the Democratic Party was over, she would have no home in either party. I was wrong. Cheney has established herself as an indispensable useful idiot for Team Harris.
It is not just a matter of her voting “yes” on the Trump impeachment. That could have been forgiven had then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy not blundered by kicking Cheney out of her leadership post – creating the woman scorned, who first traveled down the road of apostasy by jointing Speaker Pelosi’s bogus January 6th Committee. That cost Cheney her seat in Congress and pushed her further down the road of philosophic betrayal.
The Cheney problem is not her impeachment vote – or her disdain for Trump. What is so politically incriminating is her remarkable philosophic transition from hardcore rock solid conservative to a radical Democrat left-winger.
I know Cheney maintains her membership in the Republican Party – and still considers herself a dedicated conservative. But her actions prove otherwise. She has spread her personal hatred of Trump to a general rejection of the entire Republican Party and her once cherished conservative philosophy. She campaigns and fundraises exclusively for Democrat candidates. Her support for the Democratic Party is a prima fascia rejection of conservative principles and programs.
Such a 180-degree across-the-board switch-a-roo is only possible by a person who places more value on ambition than principles and beliefs. Rather than a temporary useful idiot, Cheney has shown herself to be (pardon the frankness) a full scale political whore. That gives her more endurance with her new team.
With such a complete and profound conversion, Cheney has made herself more useful to Harris in the long run. And methinks we can safely assume that is her strategy. Cheney wants a role in a Harris administration. As the former conservative congresswoman stood beside Vice President Harris on the platform in Ripon, Wisconsin – the birthplace of the Republican Party – her ambition became apparent.
Cheney is gaming for a high post in a Harris administration. The Vice President has already said she would have a Republican in the Cabinet. Who else could that possibly be? Certainly not any Republican with conservative Republican values. It would have to be one of the major apostates – and none is bigger than Cheney.
Cheney claims that she is putting country above party. In reality, she is putting herself above both.
So, there ‘tis.
Methinks the author is mind reading when the author hates people that do that to him.
At least she didn’t leap around like a cheerleader in heat like Musky did on stage in Butler. And he’s already been signed up for work in the Trump administration as the Downsizing Democrats Czar.
And when it comes to reading minds, let the author read thIsss.
Me thinks that Frank is back.
Hammon … Yep! He must have realized that his Frank Stetson nom de plume had lost all credibility from his bs tirades so he now has taken on an alias for a nom de plume. LOL I never believed “Frank Stetson” was quitting. He is to obsessed. LOL
Frank stranger danger, Liz Cheney is dead as is her father. You failed. You should have know that they were both executed at Gitmo. If you think that is the real Liz, then maybe she is a zombie, risen from the dead. But she is not. the Marines do not lie. They have the execution lists and have published it many times in the near past. How did you not know? You haven’t changed at all. You are staring to act like an MK Ultra terrorist.
It never occurs to people on the right that someone can have principles. Oh, Right, Principles is taboo on the right. Just look at Dear Leader, who is totally bereft of principles.
Andrew Gutterman … Of course people have principles. I have conservative principles. You seem to have liberal principles. Harris has left wing principles.. The problem with Cheney is that she abandoned her well known conservative principles to embrace those of the left — campaigning and fundraising for the entire left-wing establishment. That means her principle principle is political pragmatism. She is a lady scorned. That is not principle.
It never occurs to people on the left that someone can have principles. Oh, Right, Principles is taboo on the left. Just look at Dear Kamala Harris, who is totally bereft of principles.
Andrew, you are also showing no principles if you really are that much in love with Kamala and hate Trump at the same time. You have no idea what is ahead. You will find out the real meaning of “principles” very soon. Very soon. It appears that it is the left that have no principles. they love murder = abortion, election rigging, lying their butts off, committing treason, breaking every law they can, changing laws to it their criminal narrative and so much more. It is starting to look like you are part of the Deep State with your insane rhetoric. Where is your proof the right has no principles? Give us examples or something real to chew on instead of your falsehoods.
Chaney is a RINO, she has been against Trump since day one. Her father got us in a war with Iraq concocted with Gen Powell that Iraq had the arms of mass-destruction but they never were found. It was a waste of people and resources. She is traitor to the conservative issue. She join forces with Kamala as a useful idiot. She thinks she is going to get a job in her administration but what she is going to get is a kick in the ass.
Sorry Larry, but who did not see this coming?
Its all about the new world order, and the Bush, Clintons, and the rest all have their position in this new order.
So why not Liz as she hangs on for political favor, ( Not with Kamala, but with the Bushes ) that were & are the same as
Biden!
Democrat, Republican, Same old Crap with a different name.
That is why nothing ever changed!
UNTILL TRUMP!
Cheney could be like her sister. Maybe Kamala likes women too
Larry, the impossible task for you is thinking outside the conservative ideology box in which your views generated opinions are imprisoned.
This nation was founded on the notion of governing in the framework defined as the Democratic Republic and its laws and special order set out in the US Constitution, eventually ratified.
The founders did not come to immediate agreement when meeting in Philadelphia. They loudly shouted and tirelessly and passionately argued late into most nights. Point by point they progressed through each amendment sentence, clause, and paragraph until a majority of the men came to agreement. While on many questions a consensus was pounded out.
Considering our nation’s divided sociopolitical state of health. In today’s America would the founders’ views and principles about forming a constitutional government resonate with a great majority of we the people?
For case in point, could conservatives like you and other people who call themselves conservatives possibly reason as Democrat’s and think in liberal/progressive terms? Could and would Democrats learn conservative thinking enough and come to an agreement or consensus with Republicans?
Sound familiar as to the ridiculous impasses that Congress faced and will continue facing, Those elected to government office who fail the Founders’ Word and Spirit test are not great enough and can’t fill the shoes the Founders left behind for future generations of elected officers’ benefit.
Elected Officials should be held accountable to all citizens not only to their district at elections. They are the tip of an iceberg known as the sum of political influencers in media. PBP being one small ice chunk in the entire media flow.
True PBP advertises itself as conservative oriented and a source for like minded media consumers. Even so, is conservatism as one dimensioned that its people lack depth of heart and breath of soul? Are putdowns directed at others who dare to contradict an opinion of PBP writers opinions not within their right to disagree.
PBP writers’ posts are written in anti politically left spirit and word tone. Expected should be some blowback and seeing vengeful retaliatory comments in response only sets fire to the dry and fractious political environment. When a fire is ignited in defamatory rhetoric. It’s hyped into an inferno and absent any remorse. Because, PBP has no insight nor think of what is right in professional journalism.

AC …. You are abysmally ignorant of American history and the founding of the American Republic. The Founders feared that the greatest threat to personal freedom was the growth of a strong central government run by an elitist establishment. That is consistent with my personal conservative values. The Constitution was written as a way of preventing such a government from developing by keeping decision making close to the people. In drafting the Bill of Rights they wanted to protect what the said were inalienable rights. Protect from what? GOVERNMENT !! Read the Tenth Amendment.
AC, you could always remind the author about that little group of Founders known as The Federalists. They even have a paper!
They held power until 1801 and called for a national bank, tariffs, and even implied powers. Their President was John Adams from 1797 to 1801. Washington was agnostic to the principles but was not against them. SCOTUS John Marshall was a Federalist.
