[...] CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive ... By CNN's Jeff Simon WASHINGTON (CNN) — Liz Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney and a former State Department official, said Monday that she is considering running for political office sometime in the future. ... CNN Political Ticker – http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/ [...]

Ahhhhh well, being "silent" and not seen is a woman lot in life. Always behind the man. WELL – News Flash – Let it be known WE ARE PUSHING though. We eventually get what we (women) want. We got the VOTE didn't we? Some things just take a little longer.
But fear not, we are relentless, tenaciousness, and our perserverance and all that will WIN OUT IN THE END.
We WILL HAVE A HIGHLY QUALIFIED WOMAN PRESIDENT and SHE will appoint HER HIGHLY QUALIFIED fellow WOMEN ( & friends ) to HIGH posts just like the men have always done. (except that the men are NOT Highly qualified, they are just MEN). SO there!

I would love for her to run. Then all of her lies would be exposed.

The same Liz Cheney who joined her father's propoganda tour touting war is good, torture is good, America is no longer safe? That means the wingnuts will be out in droves to vote for her, no matter the ignorance and misinformation involved. This is what we've become?

Dear God, I beg you. Do not give us another corrupt Cheney.!!!

I saw her attacked by 5 individuals on the Morning Joe on MSNBC, and she left every one of them speachless, after she set them straight on their attacks. And Joe just kind of sat back and enjoyed watching her shread his liberal cohorts. It was quite funny.

Just what we need, another Chaney. With Jeb in the white house they could take turns waterboarding each other.

She would be better than 75% of the people we have now. Everything she said is right on that they are covering for Pelosi. Pelosi is so beligerent and inarticulate I laugh every time she has a new conference.

Why would anyone vote for someone who was raised by one of the most corrupt public officials in this country's history, not to mention one of the most hateful couples in America.

What is appalling is the idea of another Cheney in office. Her father is an international disgrace and one of the reasons I have left the Republican party.

Go for it....... if she can stand the left-wing hate machine.

Smartest woman out there. She gets right to the point and usually makes partisan attack dogs look like fools.

buckwheat – That is a load. What you got against women?

anybody can run now that we have set the bar so low with Obama...the ONLY qualification is that you were a "community organizer" you're qualified for President.

When are these morons, both Democratic and Republican, going to learn that the American public does not want any more politician retreads.

This has been obvious for several months. It is interesting to note how much press and TV visibility Ms. Cheney has received, apparently based upon no other credentials or accomplishments other than her relationship with her father. I sincerely hope that she runs for office, so that Americans can clearly and unambiguously tell the Cheney family exactly what we think of their torture policies and self-serving warmongering. I would be very pleased to have a chance to vote against her.

Dick Cheney may be Darth Vader but Liz Cheney sure as heck is no Princess Leia!!!

Fine, then we will wind up prosecuting her in no time as well. So be it. She's been real keen to go out to the public and lie to cover for her father, so expect her to do as GWBush did and run to polish her Dick's legacy.

I wouldn't worry too much about Liz.

She is going to be too busy helping Daddy avoid an international war crimes tribunal to run for office any time soon.

Please say it isn't so – but I knew it was going to happen when she got on TV with Dad – One thing I know for sure – she thinks just like her dad and that is not a good thing – how about going fishing the Palin – that's a good idea

To all the "I'll never vote for her" crowd. News flash! If you don't live in her district or state and she decides to run for the House or Senate. Guess what??? You don't get to VOTE!

if Uncle Ted with all his connections, could not get Caroline a job..it's doubtful, very doubtful ms cheney has a snowballs chance in he– in securing an influential political job..appointment yes..popular vote, no

Wow!! My heart trembles.....I'm sooooooo excited !

The libs are showing their oppressive, sexist sides by trying to destroy this woman before she even begins. These people who respond with the tired and worn democratic lines (that are at least 40 years old in some cases) need to put down the bongs, get a job Hate, more hate, hate more and slander, that is the democratic pary in America. I didn't read real carefully but I am sure one of the left wing nuts also took a shot at her kids. Typical sexist, racist democratic whines and rants.

This is terrific news for Democrats who want to keep Republicans out of office for the next few decades! Go Liz.

Yes 5 deferments for Dick and the NAT.gaurd for George Jr. ,Micheal. But you can surely sleep better at night knowing the east coast of texas was never safer in 1969

Go Liz. Go....you and Palin should run together. You are just what the republicans need.

Just what the United States needs; another Republican who denies reality. Liz Cheney is another right wing hypocrite who is trying to rewrite history. Is this the best the wingnut party can offer?

And aside from being snarky and having a name, her qualifications are.............?

There are way too many Conservatives in elective office at this time. America has been damaged enough by this poisonous political philosophy. Ms. Cheny should remain a stay-at-home good wife, taking care of her children, tending to her garden, and helping her parents in their old age.

so far what the media has reported on has been backed up by fact.

oh well.......liz.

ARGGGGGGG get the garbage truck running and ready.

Just what we need, another Cheney. The Dick Cheney was responsible for producing the most corrupt administration in the history of the US. He killed 100,000s of Iraqis and killed, maimed and derailed 100,000 US troops in an illegal and immoral war. Blood for oil. Blood for power. Wireless tapping of millions of US citizens.

The Cheney legacy is one of infamy.

It isn't enough that our country is now in the grips of, and still suffering from the aftermath of the enormous damage inflicted upon it by Dick Cheney, who, by the way, should now be in prison for a number of crimes... and yet now, another Cheney is actually considering running for office. If the American people had any brains... especially after the last eight years, they should avoid this individual at all costs!

Liz, you're probably going to be busy baking cakes with nail files hidden in them for your father's escape from prison soon. So don't get too excited about your political career just yet.

Great. Another polarizing Republican woman running for office. Go for it, Liz. And as James Carville says, 'Democrats will rule for another 40 years!'. If this is the best you guys can do than you're doomed. Sheesh! No wonder your party identification is the worst it's been in TWO DECADES!!! Yikes!

Oh god. This reeks of Rovism. The GOP needs another polarizing figure so they can divide the people who will vote for our current president again. Quit picking women that you think are exceptional GOP. We vote for people based on their accomplishments and political thinking. Not because they are gay or are a women. Get a clue GOP, get a clue Cheney.

"Just political cover"

Of course there is nothing wrong with the VP running a private assassination squad and hiding it from Congress and the American people.

Well with Dick gone, who would oversee the military no bid contracts for haliburton?

Liz Cheney is not Dick Cheney. Liz has the right to run for public office just like other citizens.

I am not going to get upset until I find out which office she will be running for and what her platform will be for that office.

If Hitler had children I wonder what the chances of them being elected into public office would have been?

hopefully she will have more cecency than Dick

Just what this country needs, another slithering liar – another cheney.

The name "cheney" is equally toxic to "bush" at this point. but conservatives can find an excuse or explanation for everyone and every situation – if they only put that much effort into finding solutions to this countrys problems...

No..... thank you, one Cheney is enough for anyone's lifetime !!

@Fair is Fair – I had to laugh at your reference to Felicia...where she spelled "redderick..."

Felicia – what dat out of a Ebonics textbook?

"Rhetoric...." honey, "Rhetoric....."

America needs another Cheney in politics like a hen house needs a Fox guarding its doors

Enough of these political dynasties... they have destroyed the American system of justice and government. They're only agenda is to maintain power of their dynasties... aka Bushs, Kennedys, Clintons – enough already. This is why Obama is a breath of fresh air... work for the people, not your family.

why doesn't someone send these criminals like the Cheneys and the rest of the these republican war criminals to jail

No Way, She thinks her daddy is a hero and did nothing wrong. Forget it Liz we hate you already.

Well this explains why she has been making so many statements to the media criticizing the current administration and defending her father. What's her resume going to say under experience? "held a number of well paid positions in government arranged by my daddy" What a joke. This woman has done nothing but sponge off taxpayers using her father get jobs. Perhaps she can sit on the board at Haliburton instead.

Ha, I don't want to hear squat from the DUMOCRATS who like the crooked Clinton Family, the Idiot Pelosi, the Scmuck Obama, and the flaming Barney Frank.

Don't throw stones from a very fragile Glass House.

In response to this comment

Major

Unlike liberals, Cheneys don't walk around and bow to our enemies.

my comment below

No they just have them killed!!!

We don't need another cheney to lie to the american people

We should be so lucky to have someone as bright and tenaciouis as Liz Cheney in office. Today, she can run circles around any democrat that's in office today.

What a joke. She has no chance of winning and should not spend any money on this race. We already had eight years of misery, leaving the new president in the bottom of a deep dark hole to dig out of. Anybody who would vote anybody with any relation to the last adminstration has no clue and I would think that would leave a very low number of votes for her.

As in another E-Mail I read, Ha Ha Ha!!

I don't think soon-to-be felons can serve in elected capacities when they get out.

She'd be highly effective; why? Well, you can tell by the liberal ooze backlash on this blog....just like Palin, anyone that poses a threat to the pathetic liberal mindset is quickly chastized; next thing you know the media will start scrutinizing her friends...associates....

wow...too bad OBama didn't come under such scrutiny as Palin and now Cheney...we'd have uncovered the incompetence and corruption long ago, and would have saved us from this economic blight and hardship he's bestowing upon us, and our children......

Ever heard the expressions "when pigs fly" or "when hell freezes over" - that'll be the day she wins any election! Run, Liz, Run - what a sight to behold.

Reagan,

Mary Cheney is the lesbian daughter...Liz is the defender of dear old dad and the policies of the Bush-Cheney Administration. What a thought...another Cheney in office!!!

Well, she's as qualified as some of the exising SCMUCKS we have in office, starting with OBUMMER, PELOSI, Barney FRANK.

Did we see this same story with this same picture a couple of months ago?

Her father was running the country for Bush and look at the great job he did, Thanks, but then again, no thanks....

Hey, buckwheat - read or watch the news very often? Mrs. Clinton can hardly be described as not being seen or silent.

Would the Republicans support such a candidate??? OF COURSE! The BLIND leading the BLIND!! You bettcha!! Thats the GOP!!!

Is just me or there seems to be endless supplies of Cheneys and Bushs??

you wrote: Shut Up!! No, I mean Shut up! This is beyond a disater.

that does not sound 'peaceful'

If this woman didnt defend her father and act like he was a great man, she might have a shot. If she thinks people will allow another dictator torture loving NUT in Washington she has lost her mind. PLUS shes gay, and repukes wouldnt let her in

Oh please, give me break already! She has about as much chance as I do! Good luck with that! Talk about wasting money on a lost cause! I guess "denial" must be a genetic trait in the Cheney bloodline or maybe it's stupidity!

As a white male, I'm a little concerned that I'm not going to get a fair shake from Sodomeyer. 1.) I'm White 2.) I'm Male. She judges the laws in such a way to give Females and Hispanics the advantage. So naturally I'm a little nervous.

Liz Cheney running for office is Plan B. How else is Dick Cheney going to get a pardon?

I guess the worst economic recession and unnecessary war of the last 8 years is not enough!

Jeb Bush / Liz Cheney in 2012

You go girl! You can accomplish much more than Nancy.

Wooot! This is GREAT. We can get the daughter of satan...err, I mean Dick into office. We can commit more mass genocide, torture more people, let more planes get through our defenses and rip away more of the citizens rights until we have NO morals, NO buildings, NO soldiers, and NO rights left to lose!

Yay for the Cheney family, the absolute demise of America is upon us. And as a republican, I am ALL for that!

And where exactly does she think she actually has a snowball's chance in hell of winning at except for Wyoming? That last name alone is so polarizing and divisive why would anyone want a part of that circus. Especially considering the facts are clear more and more each day Dick Cheney was no more than an overglorified War Criminal the likes of a KIm Jong Il or Idi Amin. He should be punished to the fullest extent if only Democrats had any spine or backbone to speak of.

Maybe she'll waterboard game instead of shooting her hunting partners in the face.

I think it's rather immature to refer to Dick Cheney as "Darth Vader." However, when no one else would defend water boarding he did so.

Like I said immature, but strangely befitting to a man that would champion the cause of torture.

maybe liz should study up on law.she might have to defend her worthless father.i am still praying for justice and this criminal dick chaney behind bars

Her father is evil, and the apple doesn't usually fall far from the tree. I don't care how smart she is (obviously, smarther than Palin, who isn't?), but her constant defense of that dick, Cheney is getting tired. Can't the man defend himself instead of having his daughter constantly come to his defense? She continuously runs her mouth and slams our President. Get over it witch. Obama won!! Cheney is such a hateful creature, that I couldn't imagine voting for his daughter for any office.

@ Fair is Fair:

He's referred to as Darth Cheney because in his perverted version of America, capitalism is when no-bid contracts are awarded to the company you used to run, lying under oath about WMDs is acceptable, attempting to claim the BP's office is not really under either the executive or legislative branches, and shooting your friend in the face is referred to as " peppering".

If you want, I can can come up with more. Now, please live up to your nom de plume, and be fair in your statements.

Is she the one that's the lesbian? Because the Republicans are going to have a hard time liking her if she's the lesbian one but a harder time hating her because she's a Cheney. Oh, wait, that's right...she's the insane one! Never mind.

Wonder how she came to have that State Department official job???

She should be embarrassed by the actions of her father. If Dick Cheney had his way, he would be crowned King & Dictator Forever. The guy is just so demented that he's scary.

Maybe she can run with Sarah Palin, who seems to be only slightly more qualified than Liz Cheney. Seriously, since when did kids of politicians become qualified to run for office? I think I'd rather see Sasha or Malika in office than the offspring of such a despicable human being.

i've watched several of her interviews. to say she's sociopathic would be an understatement.

i put her in the same catagory with jeb bush. no more bushes and NO MORE LYING, MURDEROUS CHENEY'S.

And will she follow her fathers secret plans as well?

Oh well, at least she's not as dangerous as her trigger happy father. She only shoots off her mouth.

Please, Please, Please Run: It would be a pleasure to beat the daylights out of a Chaney at the Voters Ballot.

"It gets more and more appalling every day." Boy, I'll say. We need another Cheney like we need another Nixon, or another Carter, or another Bush. Is every out-of-work relative of every third-rate disgraced ex-officeholder going to squirm out from under a rock and run for something now?

Isn't she the lesbian daughter who her father "proudly supports her" while undermining anything even remotely providing justice for? And you think the GOP is going to support an openly gay person?? That'll be the day. The haters and bible thumpers will be out in force....unless she's a tax cutting, gun loving openly gay candidate. THEN she will get the full support of the hypocrites that run the party

..

There's not enough tin foil in this country anymore to make hats for everybody who needs one in the Republican Party.

God help us!

Now we know why Dick Chency came out and said he support guys now because he was campaigning for his daughter to run for office. It is campaigning to get the guy voter for his guy daughter.

This woman is a racist, just like her father. She will be crushed in any election she dares to run in. It's Obama's world now...

Worried about Pelosi? Nah...she's already political toast. Her and Harry have had their run.

They're worried about Obama! The honeymoon is over and it's just been downhill from there. His ideas first failed the test of logic and are now failing the test of time. Nice guy, but not as a leader with actual responsibilities to address.

well, she'll definitely have name recognition–not sure that's a good thing.

Sniffit – "You do realize that some of the cybernetic implants in the Cheneybot's head and chest control every move and statement his daughter makes, don't you?"

So who's pulling you're strings? Obama? It must be, because all you do is parrot his talking points? Why don't you take you're own advice and think for yourself for a change? you're just another hero-worshiping Liberal who's gonna follow Obama off the cliff.

I'll never vote for another Republican, let alone another Cheney.

I knew this was coming when she started running the news circuits.

Go ahead and run for something Cheney. Hope your ego can take the humiliation!

Your old man is a real piece of work.

You guys should read her thesis; she basically says that the President answers only to her God when in times of crisis. Who defines a crisis? The President. So she basically advocates a dictatorship.

So does Palin believe the same thing. Maybe her and Palin can start their own party for the regilion nuts.

You would have my vote. It's time to put common sence and values back in the government!

If this happens marriage, as defined as a union between a man and a woman will completely erode.

Why doesn't ms. Cheney go into the Woods, and give her father some lessons on how to shoot a Shotgun.

Great. Just what the world needs.

Good. Let the Republicans waste their money running an unelectable. The Cheneys are box office poison.

Now we see the true motivations behind her very many public appearances supporting her father's torturing of dark people.

Just another Vanilla Woman who does not see the real nation.
She may win in Wyoming but not in any large state where there
is a variety of people. If she is anything like her father we need
to get the lie detecter machine out!!!!!!!!!!

LOL nice. She's able to be exposed to more sunlight than her father and can go up to 36 hours without the intake of the fresh blood. She might be more formidable than her father in light of this.

Oh puhleeze....She got a job in the State Dept. because of who her daddy is. I bet she was effective with all those kids at home. She only stepped down when #5 came along.

hahahahahahahahahahah.....sorry, I can't seem to stop laughing. Thanks for the great joke CNN....

Just what Americans need another redneck racicst nut. Her and Palin will put women back 100 years. Thanks but no thanks.

ya, right, good luck Liz.

For what !! One Cheney is enough ,

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

She won't have a snowballs chance in hell after her father's trial for treason!

Face it, Dutch...she has an "R" after her name, so she would never get your vote anyway.

And for the record...I promise you, not all Americans think like you.

What Cheney covered up was not a mission to kill Osama. Only someone very gullible would fall for that LEAKED explanation. They are trying to make it seem like he was covering up some sensible and obvious government response. They are just trying to give a cover story to the republicans trying to quash any real investigation. This is THE BIG LIE script. The investigation would probably only find a few criminally stupid individuals like John Yoo. What it will reveal is a government driven by fear. They were telling the people to be afraid, yet political fear and corporate group think ruled their minds, rather than reason. They are lying to hide what they really are, cowards who chose politics above integrity.

This is good and the World War III will come very soon...

I think this country has more than enough of the the evil cheney family! We've also had more than enough of the bush family and for that matter the majority of this country has had it's fill of the entire GOP gang!

If the likes of another Cheney, or a Sarah Palin, for that matter, is the best that this country can muster up to run it's affairs... especially after the last 8 years... then America is indeed in a bad, bad way.

If it's in a State other than Florida, I may have to move there, so I can vote for her opponent.

@WakeUp
Obama is history in the making.

When I look at recent history, I see the shambles of Bush/Cheney.

That's the history you should read up on and maybe, just maybe you would be qualified to talk about history.

Perhaps she should consider a different career because, quite frankly, our country probably couldn't survive another dose of Cheney. Maybe she'll understand our hostile feelings a little better after her father's trial.

Pat July 13th, 2009 12:45 pm ET: "I really have to wonder if CNN is objective or just hates Republicans..."

But if they ignored this story, wouldn't that prove their bias to you just as well?

Untangling your garbled prose, I think you're saying that CNN only covered this story to expose Republicans to blog attacks. OK, that's a bit of a stretch. Discounting the fact that many of the comments here are supportive of the Cheneys, and even virulently attack Obama, Sotomayor, Liberals, the Liberal elitest left-wing mainstream media, etc. etc., when did Republicans become so sensitive? In one of the best descriptions of life as a politician, Harry Truman said "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." There's no better example of this than the thin-skinned Sarah Palin starting a vicious pissing match with half the country, then saying she's quitting because her feelings are hurt.

oh , no another idiot. Send her to Alaska

That's all we need is another terrorist in office named Cheney. I'm sure "DICK" taught Liz how to lie and decieve the American people and get away with it. Most of the world hates your father, so I wish you all the luck in the world. NOT

Liz, please come to New York State and run, we need people like you. Not! John

hourahhh Lesbians can run for office now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the Republicans, How do they gonna manage that?????I'm just curious!

tim @ Nyc...,how can the palins, et al drift away when the media keeps putting them in the news and we all (including you) respond to it.

@Reagan.

Liz Cheney isn't the gay daughter. That is Mary Cheney.

But Liz and the Dick support Mary.

WASHINGTON - A secret Central Intelligence Agency initiative terminated by Director Leon Panetta was an attempt to carry out a 2001 presidential authorization to capture or kill Al Qaeda operatives, according to former intelligence officials familiar with the matter.

AFTER READING THIS EARLIER I SAY SHE HAS A GREAT CHANCE! GO LIZ GO!! GOP BIGGER BETTER 2010!!!!!!!!!!

A family that tortures together stays together!

5 kids and too high ambitions. Sound familiar to anyone? Let's be real, with the last name of Bush or Cheney, you don't have much chance of being elected PTA president let alone anything in politics because of those two monsters.

Oh, my. Tell me no.

yeah, let her run so she can get her feelings hurt!!

God Bless President Obama, VP Bidend, the First Families and "Bo"

Oh, and the Young Republicans just elected a 38 year old racist as their new leader.

Down the drain Repub Party.

Good riddance.

Liz Cheney is the future star of the GOP. She is extremely knowledgeable and capable of defending her positions when pressed by the opposition.... In other words, the Democrats' worst nightmare.

She has the credentials for running for the office – After all she is the daughter of Cheney (which in my opinion is a good start) ))

Seriously, I am okay with this as long as they impeach and punish Cheney for his war crimes and spreading misery around the world.

Just remember that her own father appears to consider her as a lower character than a convicted felon - take a llok at the noral waivers used to get people into the military while he was running things.

I hope she runs. Liz Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin...
DEMS FOREVER!

I feel like if Darth Vader was a real person he would be completely insulted to be likened to Dick Cheney.

Please don't run for office. Your father has sufficiently screwed the country on many fronts and still relishes the spotlight to attack the new President. He is one of the reasons the Republican Party has lost credibility. Do you hope to continue his legacy?

you must own Halliburton stock to be supporting another Cheney

people of U.S., if you don't pay attention you will get another Cheney

1. wiretaping
2. more wars
3. outing of CIA agents
4. recession

and the list goes on

if however you own energy stock, this is great for you
stay tuned for more secret 'energy meetings' to benefit the Cheney friends

It's fun watching the Republican Party die.

She would consider running.....I tell you we'll never be done w/ the old way of thinking in state or national government, as long as politics, stays a family business.
She's definitely a smart women, however she is a schemer,sheisty, and a liar.

People who vote for her need to be given a separate country somewhere in north pole

No more Bushes. No more Cheneys.

It's time for damage control.

@Buckwheat,

The women who ran for president didn't win because they were not seen as the best candidates, not because they made women jealous. Women don't all vote the same way and do not vote based on gender any more than men do. I didn't vote for Clinton because I thought Obama was the better candidate. I didn't vote for McCain/Palin because I'm not conservative. Besides, Palin is a threat to women because her politics regarding sexual health and the so-called women's issues are stone-age, not because she makes women jealous of her apparent attractiveness. I'm really sick of the "women hate other women" stereotype.

That said, the mere idea of another Cheney in a position of power is terrifying.

Liz wants to show her "Pelotas".

All we need is another CHENEY in office! NOT!
Dick Cheney was ENOUGH!

NO MORE CHENEY'S!!!!!!

Ah, Major...You are one of the sheep the Republicans love. Don't have a clue, but buy everything they tell you. How sad...

A Pro-Gay Marriage Republican? She'll be lucky if Republican Extremists don't burn her at the stake during the primary.

Sarah Bailin' Failin' Palin/Lyin' Lips Liz Cheney 2012, Baby!!!

Oh puh-leeeze!!!!!

I am okay with this as long as they impeach Cheney and Bush for their crimes. She has the right to run for office as she has excellent credentials i.e. daughter of Dick.

(Meghan) McCain / (Bristol) Palin 2028!!

BWAH!!! I needed a laugh today. Thanks for that.

.
.
Yes, perhaps she can help her father get out of prison.
.
.
.

is liz cheney running for office or is the puppet for dick cheney running for office?

Did you know that Dick Cheney worked in the Nixon Administration? We forgot about that and some how, he ended up back in the White House with disasterous results. Now one of his ilk wants public office. I don't think so.
Not only do we want to rid ourselves of Dick Cheney, we want to rid ourselves of people who think like him, including his family.

And Dick Cheney is often referred to as Darth Vader, because people know that he is Evil. And Darth Vader is a good example, a vision of what is thought to be Evil. That is why he Dick Cheney is compared to Darth Vader

Haven't we had enough of Cheney getting rich off Haliburton. I guess she wants us to get more involved with Iraq for the oil just like her father.

Ah, another Cheney for the party of Hate, Intolerance, Lies, Duplicity and Incompetence. I'm sure she'll be very comfortable following in the footsteps of her evil overlord father.

Wow! Just think of all the taped material and blatent habitual lies a Dem could use in ads against her. It's endless!!

Maybe she could have Michelle Bachman from Minnesota run with her or maybe Ann Coultergeist.... this party is disgusting. To think all the people in the mid-section of this country who make 10 to 12 dollars an hour VOTE for these people. HEY MID-SECTION the GOP has done NOTHING for you... Racists thats all the GOP is. Old men with white hoods hiding behind the bible while they cheat on their wives, and count their money at the country club.... How anyone can vote for the GOP is beyond me. 2012... LETS TAKE THE GOP OUT FOR GOOD!!!!!!!

Liz cheney will be a great candidate. In the recent months, I have not seen anyone who can articulate conservative values better than her. She was able to turn the corners for her dad. When she started defending her dad, actually his approval number went up. That should speak to the talent of Liz Cheney.

Noty one single comment from the libs here defending Pelosi. Just attacks. How interesting.

Liz please go sit down. You are not even worth the thought. Like everyone says, focus on clearing your Dad's name. He is a criminal.

Will the Conservative Christian electorate make an exception for Liz Cheney because she is a lesbian who happens to be White and/or the daughter of the former Vice President? And if so, what will become of Sarah Palin? – I thought she was the voice of the Conservative Right...

In a country that gave George W a second term in office I guess anythings possible

If the American people are stupid enough to elect another Cheney, or a Sarah Palin, especially after what happened during the past eight years, then they get everything they deserve! Unfortunately, into that equation will be many, many innocent people who will suffer and die because of their policies and actions, just as they did under Bush Jr. and Poppy Cheney.

You are nothing but a bunch of moron liberals. Election 2010 is coming and imagine what? GOP is going to take back both of the houses because people are sick of you self riches liberals.

She’s just as crazy as her old man!

The worry is all about Pelosi? What about that dispicable man that you refer to as your dad?

tim nyc "can't the palins and the cheneys simply drift away to some far off land.?..absolutely disgusting…."

And take the Obamas with them. Cheney and Obama are family anyway..

"Why do people refer to Cheney as darth vader – redderickally speaking?"

They are actually misspeaking...They mean the Emperor of course...theytrue source of Evil in the Galaxy...just like Cheney.

Well, if she does run, we should keep in mind that "the apple does not fall far from the tree!" I believe we have had enough with one Cheney to last us for the next century.

The GOP hypocrisy is going to be such fun to watch when Liz the Lesbian runs for office as a Republican. One can already hear the befuddled stammering of Rush, Ann and Sean as they back peddle on their anti-gay harangues and twist and distort logic trying to explain why they support Liz the candidate but not Liz the person to live as she chooses. It's going to be fun to watch.

Contrary to "Fair Is Fair" who wouldn't know his left hand from his right, I have no problem voting for a woman so long as the woman has a brain that isn't run by the Republicans. I'm quite happy with Sotomayor being a judge, and would love to have a woman President. I just want a woman that actually uses her brain and doesn't set womankind back 100 years.

She just can't believe that her daddy could have lied about the CIA. She is just as goofy as he is. Let her run. The Cheney name isn't going to let her get very far especially after it is proven that he lied. Heck he already lied about WMD. What else does she need to know.

I wonder how many times we will see John Kerry's lesbian comments about Cheney's daughter if she decides to run.

First off, how would SHE know what happened about the newley release info. on CIA disclosures to the Senate? If she DOES know something, that would be considered treason!!

Secondly, I doubt with a name like Cheney she will likely be voted for anything except class clown. She will have a very narrow base of right-wing conservatives who honestly believe her....and then there will be the rest of us (moderate conservatives, independents and democrats) who will laugh in her face.

The narcissism in that family is unbelievable! They HONESTLY believe what they say is correct and true and should never be questioned.

Since most of American's are now realizing that we were living under a dictatorship for the last 8 years, I doubt that anyone – Republican, Independent, or Democrate alike, would allow this to happen again. If we did, then we are all fools!

"what's wrong with all of you brainwashed nuts. You don't know anything about her. You get your news from blogs,"

Um..Buddy....I'm getting my information on her stances FROM HER OWN MOUTH.

Isn't that where I should be?

The ones who are dumb are those with Bush/Cheney deraigment syndrome. At least there was a plan to get the top Al Queda leaders, than to give them miranda rights like the Libs are doing. Obama is nothing without his teleprompter!
Oh, and to the person who wrote about conseratives and Gay rights, it is Cheney's other daughter, not Liz.
You can keep your three stooges Obama, Pelosi and Reid...Liz you would have my vote!

There is something in the name that will follow her no matter where she goes or what she does.........as for Pelosi, your father was under the eyes of America when he had the Secret Service lady's name leaked out ....... now you want to blame all this uproar on trying to cover for Pelosi????? Give us a break, your dad is a criminal, not only because of this recent scandal but his envolvement with Halliburton, That's one reason Cheney wanted the Iraq War, so he could get his company in there and make all that money off the lives of our men and women in service.......he should also be Tried for Murder (For every man and woman that has died in Iraq)

One monster leaves, another one arrives.

She is as secretive and vindictive as her father. I for one don't want neocons running our country.

as if the father has not made enough money from our dead troops....now the daughter will clip the remaining last few dollars that the father left behind !!! Wonder which billion dollar corporation she will represent.

Run Liz, run. Fighting for the extinction of the republic party of no.

So pointing out that the VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES purposely withheld vital information for Congress is a distraction technique?

Yep..She is a Cheney....the pure and utter evil is her taint also.

She is definately within her right, but this is just plain scary. She is nothing but a political activist running on distorted facts and extreme ideology. If this is what the US government is going to amount to in the future, then we are in SERIOUS trouble as a nation. These peopel are coming out of the woodwork, and what Americans fail to realise is exactly what were these peopel doing for the average citizen before they chose to run for election. This woman is and has never been concerned about anyone or anything until now. Yet the GOP just gobble these folk up and buy hook line and sinker into these people. Again, just SCARY.

tricky key board, should have been "disaster" lol, those pesky sticking keys....

Peace

Democrats.........STOP judging people by their name and/or cover. Each party isn't any better than the other. Give her a chance....

Did i say wife.. Sorry... Daughter, son, cousin... IDC

Learned from the Dick Chaney...

Liz Cheney is a tough, very partisan, irritating, bully.

The whole frightening family needs to go away and never return to public life.

It is really sad how divisive all of these comments are. Most of you are generally confused regarding the facts, and your hatred obviously extends from something else in your lives. I'm conservative on most issues, but I don't align myself with the Republicans because the last 8 years was so unrepresentative of my views. Those of you that think that an R or a D next to someone's name gives you any insight into their character are just plain ignorant. Dissent is a good thing, but simply attacking someone because of your own shortcomings just creates a further divide.

I hope she is half as smart and strong as her father this country needs there type to keep us safe. Cheney has been called Darth Vader a title which I am sure he loves, but Dick is a patriot and our ebemies feared him.

Obama, Biden, Pelosi and Hillary = Prudent, Intelligent, Wise and Nice People = America is Safe.

Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld = Criminals, Warmongers, Liars, Low I.Q., = Ruined America.

can't the palins and the cheneys simply drift away to some far off land.?..absolutely disgusting....

Women will never vote for a woman that can outshine them. It is called jealousy. If you want a viable woman presidential candidate you got to run one who is not perceived as a threat to the women of the country . Look at the women who have run and did not get the women vote. Any of them were just as smart as what we have now ,especially Hillary Clinton. I did not see Hillary or Palin in front of a teleprompter. Fact is we have not seen Hillary anywhere. That is called containment (sort of like barefoot and pregnant) and the women of this country should be raising holy hell about her silent role in this government.

felicia said "Great just what we need darthvader's daughter, more of the same redderick."
________________________

Why do people refer to Cheney as darth vader – redderickally speaking?

One Cheney was MORE than enough in government, thank you very much!

Why? She is currently on the "The Liar Tour" – and I hate to break it to her, the only person looking badly with the new allegations is Dick Cheney not Speaker Pelosi! I am not a big Pelosi fan but I believe this exonerates the Speaker. Leon Panetta has verified that the CIA lied or at the least grossly mis-lead Congress. Perhaps one day she will believe the truth about her father the way the Nixon daughters finally figured out their father!
Her father is evil and belongs in jail – he can move in with Libbey!

Read my lips no more Cheneys or a clueless Obamas.

You guys should read her thesis; she basically says that the President answers only to her God when in times of crisis. Who defines a crisis? The President. So she basically advocates a dictatorship.

Who in their right mind will vote for her for anything other than the town dog catcher...I'm sure the apple didnt fall far from the tree...

What a bunch of wide repertoire of views about Liz Cheney's snap decision to run for office, if we may say so! Some of them were really facetious, and quite witty, actually. Her own views on many issues seem intriguing and will likely open up the pandora's box, once she steps into the lime light.

You do realize that some of the cybernetic implants in the Cheneybot's head and chest control every move and statement his daughter makes, don't you?

Liz Cheney for office? That'll be the day.

Who needs this kind of humor on a Mondaty? This IS a joke right? What don't these people get? We and the rest of the world are DONE with you people! It will be years upon years to to recover from the psychological, emotional and financial damage of the Cheney-Bush years and to perpetuate the lies and hubris of those years is stunning only in the level of self-righteousness!

It'll be something like, "Daddy, what do I do now?"

Liz – Two wars just didn't do it for daddy? Not enough torture going on in this world? Widespread fear – It might just help the economy?

What a laughable, laughable thought – Liz Cheney running for office.

I find the anti-gay slurs hurled at the liberals while supporting Liz Cheney entertaining. Do these folks not realize she's a lesbian? I'm interested to see how she could shake things up in the party given her sexuality and the Republicans traditional stance on that issue.

Shut Up!! No, I mean Shut up! This is beyond a disater.

Peace

The Obama & Pelosi-haters are out in force this morning. If you can't be part of the solution with your rhetoric and mis-spelling, then please don't be part of the problem! If Liz wants to run, who cares? She hasn't even said which office yet, if at all! Quite frankly I'm pretty sure she knows where her base will come from and if she hasn't done the math I feel sorry for her! Because obviously that base wasn't strong enough to get McCain & Palin elected! Good luck!

Great...another Cheney who only argues in hypotheticals because the truth is too hard to justify. Until she seriously discusses the torture issue instead of saying "ticking time bomb" and making up statistics, I will never consider her anything other than a political hack.

Just what the world needs: an endless supply of Cheney....

No more Cheney's. Ever. They'll destroy the planet.

Unlike liberals, Cheneys don't walk around and bow to our enemies.

My vote for Liz Cheney

Is she going to Run under the Banner of the Republican Party?

You know what.

Republican Party will be Doomed if she Runs as a Republican.

.
.
.
.
Wow.

Is the GOP messed up or what?
.

.
.

Whats sad is some will vote for this woman despite her out right lying just ot protect her father. We don't need anymore chaneys in washington.

No more Bushes and no more Chaneys!!!!!

Read my lips: NO NEW CHENEYS!

@Proud Member..Party of No July 13th, 2009 12:40 pm ET

Excellent news. She's got my vote. There is nobody better, more informed and decisive regarding our national security than the Cheneys. I trust them completely as opposed to the limp-wrist democrats.

----------------------------–

Kinda funny, when you consider the biggest attack on American soil came with Dick Cheney as V.P.

Personally, this sounds like a threat! Will she shoot someone in the face to improve her 'creds'?

Well, her first request as a politician could be to get her father pardoned from jail once he is convicted of war crimes. I mean really, Bush Sr. gives us Black Monday, deregulation of the savings and loans ( of which his son Jeb lost 100's of millions in Colorado... Daddy pardoned him ), tremendous debt, over valued housing in the late 80's, a war with Iraq..THEN comes along Bush Jr.. and we get the exact same problems only worse and now Jeb wants to run for another office and DICK CHENEY's DAUGHTER!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME AMERICA? Well, in 2010 the party of no will only have bible belt voting for them anyway....THANK GOD, MCCAIN DID NOT WIN... THANK YOU LORD!!!!!

There's a jail cell waiting on Dick Cheney somewhere and Liz running for office won't change that fact. Furthermore, posting anyone with the last name Cheney on a ballot, extreme right ideas and all, is sure to guarantee defeat at the polls.

Cover for Pelosi? I don't think so. It was Dick Cheney who was at the wheel. How quickly we forget the numerous cover ups and the biggest lie of the century-WMD in Iraq. AG Holder needs to get to moving on this case. I'm ready to wake up and see this CNN Breaking News headline: DICK CHENEY INDICTED.

Don't compare Cheney to Darth Vader,

Darth Vader did his own dirty work and didn't get 5 deferments out of the Vietnam war. meaning there are 5 people who fought possibly died, captured, injured or mentally scared because he shirked his duty and didn't love America enough to fight for it!!!

I agree with Liz. It is appalling. Learning of torture memos, secret CIA operations without Congressional consent, and spying on Americans all in the name of Patriotism is very appalling.
Hold the Bush Administration and the officials accountable on their reckless handling of our precious Constitution! We are a nation of laws where regardless of the intent, the action is held accountable! If a man kills another for raping his child, he still committed murder. How these men can justify destroying the liberties and freedoms they say they were defending in the name of terrorism, is beyond chilling.

Bush and Cheney in any capacity isn't good for this country. After all, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. She's the one that created the gay bashing of Edwards to help her father out in 2004. The world needs intelligent people in office, not just big mouth evil doers.

Pelosi = Epic Fail.

Liberals = Morons.

Enough said.

Interesting news. I look forward to see what she does. I happen to like the woman.

i'm lovin' the hate AMERICA...............

because i've had enough of the feel good stories like the one with Sotomayor

BTW..............would you all be touting no more Clintons when Hillary runs for office 8 years from now?

nope....................yall be stupids me thinks

vote them all out

Sheri – I think you are confusing Liz and Mary. Liz is the heterosexual Cheney daughter. Mary is the gay Cheney daughter.

A Republican Lesbian? Uhh, excuse me, but have you noticed that the GOP hates gays and lesbians? I don't think they will ignore their own hatred when they vote...

Losing your freedoms, really Obama is doing that please list the freedoms that have been lost and point me towards the bill or executive order that have been signed that documents that.

your freedoms was signed away in the Patriot Act under Bush which allows you to keep your guns but surrender your freedoms.

Sharpening pencils for the State Department and trying to keep your dad out of jail or being the worst Vice President in History doesn't qualify you for anything.

"It's something I may well may do down the road,"

Hopefully, she will speak better, then...

Fine with me – it will give SNL more fodder.

Can't wait to read the Democratic howls over this story, bad grammar, bad punctuation and all.

She doesn't have my vote!

Unlike many posters here, I will not reject her because she is Cheyne's daughter. I will judge her own her own merits. Based on this, I say NO WAY!!

TO ALL THE GOP "BEWARE OF OBAMA" POSTERS:

Where in God's name were you for the last 8 years, or are you seriously going to tell people that the Bush Administration was the cat's pajamas?!?!?!?!

Helping Dick Cheney write his memoirs – This is too funny. I picture them holed up in a bunker – Dick will expound about how he saved America, if not the entire human race. Real Fuhrer bunker stuff.

Ha Ha Ha....

What a Joke.... Ha Ha Ha.

She thinks she is going to Win.... Ha Ha Ha....

She thinks the Entire U.S. Population consists of Idiots.... And will Vote for her....

Ha Ha Ha Ha....

NO, we're NOT worried about Pelosi, we're worried about YOU Liz Cheney!!! You're becoming a MONSTER just like your daddy.

You make Nancy Pelosi look like a SAINT. Americans do NOT share your views, opinions or statements. Please take your devious dad and go away, just go away.

This will be some of the best comedy to look forward to.

Liz Cheney running for office on the torture platform while her father is on trial for torture.

The GOP has become an absurd caricature of itself.

To the Proud member of the Party of No: How is Liz Cheney so informed about classified materials that were so sensitive that they had not even been disclosed to Congress until two weeks ago? Now ask yourself, is this legal?

The Cheneys are fighting the kind of dictatorship that was prevalent in Russia before the fall of the Iron Curtain. If you would like to live under a totalitarian communist regime, please leave the land of the free.

Glad to hear this.
We need patriotic woman like her with moral values run for office.

Her campaign slogan, "Keep the paranoia alive."

Please. Another CHENEY in office? No thanks.

The idea is more & more appalling everyday it's even suggested, especially after the recent coverups released from Cheney's secret CIA operations.

BTW, Liz, that new revelation gives more credibility to Speaker Pelosi's position that the CIA withheld information under your father's tyrannical rule. And you think Americans want another CHENEY?  Give me a break.

We need to get away from the idea of dynasties, kings, king-makers and 5th generation rich political children like GWB who could only inherit wealth and political power because they are too stupid to be able to create it from scratch themselves if they were born poor. However, anybody who is closer than a 5th cousin of Cheney should be banned from running for office, period.

Given the comments here supporting Cheney, one can draw the conclusion that NOW it's okay to be gay. You conservatives are so laughably transparent.

Jeb Bush / Liz Cheney in 2012.
Because 8 years of Bush / Cheney wasn't enough and have Sara Palin as Secretary of State what a great reality show.

hey- let's not forget- Darth Vader's daughter is Princess Leia. Sweet!

Another Cheney lining-up at the public trough.

What? Didn't Daddy's dividend check from Halliburton, and there was one make no mistake, cover all the family?!

I really have to wonder if CNN is objective or just hates Republicans. I recall when NBC hosted their special Saturday Night Live Presidential election special the night before the election and a couple other times prior to that. SNL made fun of McCain, Palin and Bush, but hardly touched Obama. Despite what some people will say, for people that were having a hard time deciding, this may of help sway their choice. Likewise, here we have CNN that constantly posts stories for the shake of letting people blog hate towards Republicans. Most of the stories are not news worthy at all. Not all of us are fools, we can see thru this crud. For those people that want to thru "Fox News" back at my face. Your right they are biased too, but the point is, news should not be biased. SNL is not news, but their biased network gave the ok to do what they do.

That shouldn't be too hard to beat.

Vote for the Wife of a War Criminal!!!!

Guaranteed to try and circumvent your rights and the drop of a hat.

It would be too great – first, Frankenstein – then Cheney's wife – Bride of Frankenstein and now THE DAUGHTER OF FRANKENSTEIN!!!!

Jeb Bush/Liz Cheney 2012. Becuase corporate America can still make money off the American taxpayer!

"frank n.c.- "Wrong Special Interest". That is exactly the point...ALL special interests influence is wrong. King Obama and the jobless left, feel that their "interests" are more important. Frank, that's why big governement is bad. Wake up! That's why, local governement should control more than Federal. That's why King Obama is scary. Wants to grow the govt. to give to his friends and allies, while you are your brainwashed friends bend for him.

Jesus, I thought one Cheney was one to many. Are we really dumb
enought to ever consider a second!?

Is Liz somehow briefed on classified decisions of which even Congress was unaware? If so, how is this legal? If not, how does Liz know anything about what she has been talking? Do we need yet another person like this in government?

The liberal "civility" extended to conservatives is baffling considering liberals extol tolerance as one of their virtue!

I would rather see McCain's daughter elected before this chick. No way can we have another Cheney in office.

why not ?
after all this is a dynastic politics......
After Bushes, let it be Cheneys............

Excellent news. She's got my vote. There is nobody better, more informed and decisive regarding our national security than the Cheneys. I trust them completely as opposed to the limp-wrist democrats.

I guest Sara Palin was not the only Repubican Washington Times was interviewing for 2012. I smell a cat fight with Liz and Sara Palin.

Waiting for the torrent of Lib monkey chattering over this. Cheney or Palin tickers are CNN's tool for upping hit counts. I agree that Bush/Cheney stories "leaked" to the press comprise the Dem's strategy to avert attention to their bumbling.

what's wrong with all of you brainwashed nuts. You don't know anything about her. You get your news from blogs, and bow to King Obama. Wake up, you are losing your freedom.
Read a history book, and see what your Obama is doing to this country.

No more Cheneys in any office,,,, Scaring scaring scaring,,, boooooo

When in trouble create a diversion-old Democrat trick. Cover Pelosi.That is what all the mud raking is about. Divert attention away from this loser we have at the helm and his redistribution of wealth in the process. Keep them talking about someone else and they don't talk about you. Haul buggy to Africa where no one will follow and distribute some more wealth while the news media is asleep. News media is not dumb enough to take all the shots you need to go there.

We just can not get enough of the Bush/Chency clan. After the investagation, this country will have nothing to do with Jeg Bush or Liz Chency. I would have to stay I would like to see Liz and Palin go at it both trying to get the Presidentaly nomination in 2012 what a great cat fight that would be.

Liz, Hang it up already. You may want to seek help.

Great just what we need darthvader's daughter, more of the same redderick.

OOPS – sorry Liz – that would be 2012 thru 2014-1/2 --- ??

she is another idiot...none will vote for this idiot....no brains...just like her dick cheney.....without brain....

She "may well" run and she "would" go down in an embarrassing defeat. I welcome this, let the country show how little they want a tyrant evil dictator like Liz in office. We've learned our lesson with the Cheney's.

Hey Liz – there may be a chance in Alaska.

Oh, good, maybe once she gets in office she can tell us all about those top secret memos that describe all of the "life saving information" we obtained while doing to OUR prisoners what we hope won't be done to Americans being held elsewhere.

why!? because her dad was the VP? is that all it takes to qualify?! why is it ok that politcs is a "its all about who you know" industry? we all know that is the case but why do we all stand for it? the last president would have never been a governor or a president if his daddy wasnt. this is ridiculous and it proves how people just think the government should handle themselves while they sit home watching american idol! you people DONT KNOW WHAT BEING AMERICAN IS ABOUT!! our government can police the world? then who keeps our government accountable??? WE ARE SUPPOSED TO IDIOTS!!! get off your couches!!!

Go for it Liz.

I laughed out loud at this!!!
All we need is another Cheney in office.

This is good, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney she is considering running for political office ok

Obama has allowed the idea that the US made errors in its approach to worldf affairs in the last decades and that the US is willing to sit down with the world.

Liz Cheney slams this approach and says Obama is "apologizing" and he needs to proclaim the greatness of the US -" that there never has been or will be as great a country as the USA" ..

Keep it up Cheney and repubiclans and you will further distance yourselves from the rest of the world. Why not form your own nation of "Superiority" ? No wonder hard core right wing republicans like this are despised around the world.

Might as well, she couldn't do any worse than Obama.

Liz Cheney's views coincides with her father's which I think in most Americans eyes disagree with. Enough said.

Anyone with a brain should be worried about the high queen of Congress. She thinks she rules America rather than representing the people.

Even if she Runs for Office, Won’t Matter.
Her Dad is Going to Jail Anyway.
Sorry Ms. Liz Cheney, Won’t Help. Nobody is going to Vote for her, Except a bunch of Crooks and Criminals.

liz you should be worried about your war munger dad. don't forget if you write the truth of what he has done in his memiors then you can help send him to jail. please give us another laugh that you honestly think anyone would vote for you in any high office, you need to get over yourself on that one girl.

Oh no, another Darth Vaderette. Has this family done enough damage to America's image at home and abroad. The office she is most qualified for is the office of the toilet seat and masking fragrance.

[...] lust and human sacrifice) is making the rounds again.  Liz Cheney tells us that she is "open to running for office" someday (Joy!) and that investigating Dark Daddy Dick for his evilness [...]

God help us if another Cheney gets into office!

And why shouldn't she run for political office? She can wear her father's jack-boots on the campaign trail.

Oh dear... That's the problem with genes. One bad ancestor and genes take a while to vanish from the blood line...

Wow just want the country needs. Another crooked politicians connected to all the wrong special interest.

Apparently the Cheney family doesn't feel that it has done enough to destroy our country.

Another Cheney? Didn't the first one do enough damage? Thanks, but no thanks!

Oh goody! Another clueless wonder looking for public office so that she can turn the clock back to the Stone ages (i.e.the Bush/Cheney years). Her Daddy is above the law... so we're worried about Pelosi?? What planet do these people live on?!

Oh great. Another member of this criminal family would like to exercise her very own brand of murder and torture on the world. Just what we need!

Why not if Palin ran so can see, we should all run!!! WHY NOT!!

Aww, good gogamooga! Just when you thought the nightmare was over, look what's lurking in the horizon. Jeeezus pleasus!

Geeezzz, havn't we had enough of the Cheney's?

Jeb Bush / Liz Cheney in 2012.
Because 8 years of Bush / Cheney wasn't enough.

As soon as we need some one to run the Department of Torture, we'll give you a call. In the meantime, stay with your dad under your rock.

Does this mean we'll get 'The Torture Tour' – Part 3?

Liz – Face it – You got 'A Snowball's Chance' for any office.

No more Bushes and heaven forbid another Cheney!!!
