Liz Cheney seem to have the strength of character, education and experience to become the first female US president. I would work for her.

The younger Cheney has tacitly sided with the ‘birther’ movement and is a rising star on the right

For those who miss Dick Cheney, there is always his daughter Liz. A rising star on the right, the younger Cheney is carrying the torch of uncompromising confrontation with those deemed to be a threat to America – from alleged terrorists to Tehran.
Liz Cheney came up through a law firm with close ties to the Republicans before working as an aid officer in US embassies in eastern Europe.
After her father became vice-president, she stepped in to a state department job that gave her control of a programme channelling money to pro-democracy groups in the Middle East.
After leaving the state department, Liz Cheney became increasingly critical of some Bush administration policies for not being hardline enough, particularly towards Iran. Cheney said the US should support Israel if it launched an air strike against Iran’s nuclear programme.
But she has been a vocal defender of what her father euphemistically called enhanced interrogation techniques and others describe as torture. Cheney has tacitly sided with the “birther” movement which questions whether Barack Obama is legitimately elected because he is alleged to have been born in Kenya. She told CNN that the movement was in part driven by people being “increasingly uncomfortable with an American president who seems to be afraid to defend America, stand up for what we believe in”.
Her increasingly frequent television appearances have fuelled speculation that she is planning to run for political office.
Last year, Cheney’s sister, Mary, was quoted in the New York Times as saying: “I think you’d be hard-pressed to find any daylight at all between Liz’s and my father’s views. It’s not because she’s been indoctrinated. It’s because he’s right.”

I thought so to at first, but she is a progressive republican and I am not for any progressive republican.

What we are facing today is an international movement of long standing composed of a merging of the old aristocracy with the monied capitalistic class and of course the old bug-a-boo, bankers. This is an elitist thing and therefore a dynastic thing, it runs in families. Liz Cheney is her father and everything he stands for which is not individual liberty and a free republic, but for the monied class and the elitist privilege which position and power bring. Communism was never anything more than an experiment in social control devised and primarily executed by the power elite of the jolly ole Britannic Empire. Marx was a hack in thrall to Engels, who was a traitorous back stabbing German capitalist who betrayed his own people in England’s economic wars with their Continental rival, and lived in bloody handed style and privilege with his fellow elitists bastards in England.
All members of this clique send their kids to the same schools, and those that demonstrate potential are sent off to work in banks, in the government, politics, etc., any place where they can exert control over the rest of us peons without having to work for a living and get their hands dirty. They all eat and drink at the same trough, they all marry one another, they are all totally indoctrinated and infected with the same elitist garbage. How you can fail to understand that we are engaged in nothing less than life-or-death class warfare and support this child of our republic’s enemies is something I really don’t understand.

I saw an interview with her where she actually states that she is progressive republican. Normally, anyone who is a progressive (like 80 democrats in the house) is for more government, less freedom, anti capitalist, and anti constitutional. Now, I do not her stance on several issues, but stating that she is a progressive ( which Woodrow Wilson was) republican is enough for me.
