Title: Liz Cheney or Mike Enzi? Question For The Forum
Post by: flowers on July 24, 2013, 10:56:16 pm

Question for the forum. Who would you choose if you could vote for one and why?  Liz Cheney or Mike Enzi?  I like Liz but have read some not so nice things about her. I don't know anything about Enzi.

I would vote for Enzi. He's doing a good job.

She's essentially an DC elitist, carpetbagger, hoping to benefit from her father's surname.

Normally women take their husband's name, especially conservative ones.

She should run in her home state of Virginia.

What I know about Enzi is he's from Wyoming, whether or not he's as conservative as I'd like. I'm from New York, with a tradition of carpetbaggers back to RFK, Jim Buckley, Hillary Clinton, etc. Whatever her merits, Liz Cheney is a carpetbagger.

Enzi.  Liz Cheney is an opportunist, trading on her daddy's name.

At this point, Enzi.

It is not enough to merely not be the incumbent.  A candidate has to prove they are a better choice for the position than the incumbent (and vice versa), and Cheney clearly is not.

Enzi.  I wish I could run his campaign.
