This week’s activities in the insane asylum commonly known as Washington, D.C., provided proof positive of the old adage that politics makes strange bedfellows. Republican House members voted to remove Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney from her House leadership position. The voice vote was preceded by days of media coverage and numerous statements of support for Cheney – from Democrats and the main stream media, which is redundant. Picture that! What if the shoe was on the other foot? Suppose a bunch of Republicans came out in favor of replacing Senate Majority Leader, the detestable Chuck Schumer, with Joe Manchin? (I can’t give a House of Representatives comparison because all House Democrats are as crazy as Nancy Pelosi, and many even crazier than her). I’ll bet Republicans would be told to mind their own business, and the media would report “yet another attempt to destroy our democracy.” And what’s the Liz Cheney flap all about anyhow? It’s about something Democrats have raised to an art form – punishing a member who stepped out of line. Ever wonder why every Democrat House member always votes the way Pelosi orders them to vote? It’s because the Democrat Party has adopted the philosophy of Benito Mussolini’s Fascists: “Everything inside the Party, nothing outside the Party, and nothing against the Party.” A Democrat who doesn’t vote with Pelosi loses committee assignments, and gets no money for reelection. Republicans are not nearly so organized, and not being Fascists, they sometimes even permit members to have different opinions. Shocking! So what about Liz Cheney? As a Republican leader, she represents the face of the Party. Because she persists in calling the January 6th trespassers “insurrectionists,” continues to denounce Donald Trump for “inciting an insurrection,” and voted to impeach Trump, she isn’t a face, or a voice, who’s acceptable to the majority of Republicans. Cheney’s removal, and the expressions of support for her from across the aisle stem from two separate motivations: hatred, and hypocrisy. Liz Cheney is motivated by hatred of all things Trump. Her father, Dick Cheney, was G.W. Bush’s Vice-President, so Liz is a natural born never-Trumper. In 2016, the Bush-Cheney-Neo Con-Ivy League-Country Club-Brie Eating-Republican Establishment decided that Jeb Bush would be the Republican nominee. Donald Trump spoiled that plan. He insulted Jeb at every debate, and beat him in every primary. But worst of all was Trump’s criticism of the Bush/Cheney, Neo Con penchant for provoking, and waging endless wars. The worst of Trump’s sins, however was his success. He built the Wall, brought troops home, built the military and improved the economy, all things Bush, Cheney, John McCain, Mitt Romney and the other “good loser” Republicans failed to do. Had Jeb become the nominee, Crooked Hillary would now be coughing and tripping into her second term. The Left’s feigned support of Liz Cheney stems from their normal policies – hypocrisy, deceit, lying, and calculation. All the lying media stories are about how weak and fractured the Republicans Party is. The truth is that the Democrats are hanging onto control of the government by their fingernails. If 5 seats flip to Republicans next year, Republicans take back the House, and the Senate is 50-50. Democrats supported Liz Cheney in hopes that Republicans will split apart. Since they have surrendered to the Woke Nuts in their Party, it’s their only hope. Remember, these are the same people who hated Dick Cheney, denounced him as a war criminal and Halliburton profiteer, and wanted him frog-marched out of the White House and imprisoned. Not so long ago, Leftists called Liz Cheney no friend of Democrats, a “warmonger,” “vitriol-spewing extremist,” “no friend of fairness and decency in American politics, and no friend of the truth.” But, if she hates Trump and it might hurt Republicans, there’s no limit to how low Democrats will stoop. You see, Trump is the enemy Democrats fear most. Winston Churchill understood the principle, “If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.” In her hatred of Trump, Liz Cheney was performing a service for Democrats, who have labored, and who continue to labor to erase all evidence that Donald Trump ever existed, much less that he was a successful President. In this, the Left takes a page from George Orwell’s 1984, “Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” Sound familiar? If not, just listen to one Jen Psaki press briefing. The New York Times pitched in for Liz Cheney, running a story that claimed “Over 100 Prominent Republicans, including former officials, threaten to split from G.O.P.” The reason? Some Republicans still support President Trump. Imagine that. How dare they feel favorable to a President of their own Party. The nerve, huh? And who are these “prominent” Republicans? Miles Taylor, worked at DHS. He wrote a book by “Anonymous” condemning Trump. He’s still anonymous. Who else? Former governors Tom Ridge and Christine Todd Whitman. Can you say RHINO? Former Transportation Secretary Mary Peters, former Representatives Charlie Dent, Barbara Comstock, Reid Ribble, and Mickey Edwards. Who? I did recognize one of them. Get ready – Mitt Romney said, “Expelling Liz Cheney from leadership won’t gain the GOP one additional voter, but it will cost us quite a few.” Old Mitt better look out for himself, as he was just censured by Utah Republicans for opposing Trump. The fact is Liz Cheney was unpopular in Washington, and in her home State of Wyoming, where more than half of Republicans say they won’t vote for her. The fact that 100 Never Trumpers threaten to leave the Party is laughable. They’ve already left it, and it has left them. Let the 100 malcontents walk. We’ll have to make do with the 75 million who voted for Trump. And that’s the key to Democrat support for Liz Cheney. Democrats prefer “Good Loser” Republicans like McCain and Romney. Kick them in the nuts, and they just keep smiling, and keep losing. Democrats prefer the docile GOP to Trump’s junkyard dog GOP. GOP used to stand for Grand Old Party. Under the RHINOS it became Gutless Old Panderers. Now, our only hope is that GOP will stand for Gutpunching Optimistic Populists.
