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?

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.

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.

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!

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.

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?

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.

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!

By: Bill Sampson

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.

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

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.

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...

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.
