Cheney has never been a libertarian.

That's right.

True enough. But as Rand Paul and other self professed libertarians maintain, they have more in common with conservatives than with liberals. All I am suggesting that on the issue of abortion, Cheney is taking on a more or less libertarian perspective. She may also be, as Horace points, wholly opportunistic.

It is no secret that when expedient, politicians of all ideological persuasions do not refrain from acting opportunistically if they sense an end result of personal or partisan gain.

Why should the supposed neo-conservative Cheney, be any different?

Exactly - look at the brouhaha over Obama's position on gay marriage Harris's comment on marijuana Walker's stance on abortion .

Just a variation on the time honoured catchphrase; follow the money.

I suspect she will be pretty consistent when it comes to opposing those a bit too close to Trump for her liking. She sees problems ahead for the GOP and I'm not sure she's wrong about that.

So, conservative Liz Cheney supports a candidate who places no limit on abortion? Up to the moment of birth?

The GOP continues to pour money to support a candidate who has paid for abortion.

If she can surgically excise the idiotic parts of Trump support from the party and keep the rest, good. I’m not entirely sure she is attached to reality with her moral panic about existential threats to our democracy, represented by candidates who, once elected, will never leave office no matter what.

Who is now a right-to-life candidate.

I thought you supported abortion? Even after birth?

You’re the one who liked to say “don’t listen to what they say, see what they do.”

[Jolly]

Deflection.

Are you or are you not pro-death?

[Axtremus]

@Jolly Hey, you’re the one who seems to support the guy who paid for death and the party who funds the campaign of the guy who paid for death. Do you believe in their words or their actions?

[Jolly]

Answer the question.

Are you or are you not an abortion supporter?

Is there really any question?
