                Kill it with fire.

                The elder daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney is running for Congress, following up a failed U.S. Senate campaign two years ago with another attempt to woo voters in a state where she has been a full-time resident for only a few years.

                Liz Cheney filed federal election documents Friday showing she's running for Wyoming's lone seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

                  Politically speaking, I remember reports being published that she shares little ideology with her father.
                  "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984

                  "One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir

                    I think that's the other daughter. This one is a regular on the VRWC idiots circuit and is a neocon.

                      Yeah, the other one is gay and married. There were lots of articles about this one being against such marriages at the time.

                        One Freedom Caucus member down.

                        The seat will likely not be a pickup, but hopefully as the TeaPers and their ilk peter out the replacement R will be sane.

                          Why can't these people talk more like Mike Zimmer?

                          Couldn't he just say, "I need to spend more time with my family. That's all." instead of this long drawn out statement making him out to be some sort of man's man or hero?

                          What am I thinking? Of course not. He's a politician.

                                She's part of the checks and balances that seems to be sadly lacking these days.

                                I may not agree with her politics, but I want her around to keep a semblance of honesty in the game.
