Republicans: The Party of Liars, Cowards & Hypocrites...

I have to say it is quite surprisng & strangely gratifying, to see, and hear, that Dick (Darth Vader) Cheney's daughter has become the most powerful, insistent, pull-no-punches voice on the right; the great conservative, in-the-moment-truth-teller opining about our precarious & very dicey, political environment. 

Of course, Liz Cheney was the leading voice on the January 6 Committee, she lost her Congressional seat in Wyoming because of her bold truth-telling, and she has eloquently made the case that our Democracy is in grave peril. She was courageous enough to tell the truth, even if it meant that she would lose her position of power and influence. That is extraordinary in this day and age of unbridled groveling & desperate clinging to power at all costs.

LIZ CHENEY: "I think that the Republican Party as it exists today is dangerous to the country. And I think the most important thing to do now, without question, is to make sure we stop Donald Trump. What American politics looks like after that, what the Republican Party or a new Republican Party or a new conservative party looks like after that remains to be seen."

All of this totally rings so obviously true.  "Liars, Cowards and Hypocrites." That is the Republican Brand in the age of MAGA.

LELA FADEL of NPR sums up Cheney's new book: "... she does not hold back in this book. And she said she wants Americans to know everything that happened in Congress and in her party that led to what she calls a terrorist attack on the Capitol. And she names names - describing former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy as a hypocrite, a coward and a liar who told her Trump acknowledged that he knew he lost the election, only to then repeat Trump's lie on television. She depicts the current speaker, Mike Johnson, as a dangerous anti-constitutionalist And she says she wants people to know every detail of what happened in her party and in Congress and how many of her former colleagues, she says, betrayed their oath."

Yes. Indeed. It is so refreshing to hear the truth injected plainly & forcefully into the political discourse. And to hear it from a long-time Republican insider is so very necessary.
