that Reince Preibus embraces Liz Cheney and thrusts her into the public limelight as the shining future of the party.

As a gay man I have no problem with her sexual orientation or her choice to marry her partner and raise children together. The only good thing I can say about Darth Cheney is he supports his daughter's right to live her life equitably with other Americans. That is as far as I will go and chastise him for riding and promoting the 2004 hate campaign against the LGBT community in the states to secure a second term.

But let's just let Liz become a spokesperson for the GOP. Her father single-handedly wrote an energy policy with his buddies in the industry that stifled investment in renewables and doubled-down on gas, oil and coal. Her daddy pressured the CIA in the run-up to the Iraq War. Her father lied us into a war that cost over 4K American lives, probably hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives and cost the U.S. a trillion dollars all of which was not funded because he and W wanted to give their rich buddies even more of the loot.

Her daddy shot his friend in the face. Her daddy was certainly involved in the outing of Valerie Plame. We could go on and on.

I really hope the GOP prances her out in 2014 and 2016. This only bodes well for the Democrats.
