Liz Cheney Throws Sister Under The Bus In Effort To Win Senate SeatHow would you feel if you were watching the news and your sister came on the air to denounce your marriage? That's exactly what happened to Dick Cheney's daughter Mary this past weekend as she and her wife watched "Fox News Sunday."Dick's other, terrifically ambitious but graceless daughter, Liz, went on the show as part of her quest for a Senate seat in Wyoming. To the nation, she announced, "I do believe in the traditional definition of marriage." Then she added a comment about her lesbian sister, Mary, who is married and has two children. "I love Mary very much, I love her family very much. This is just an issue on which we disagree."Mary and her wife didnt know their marriage was an issue for Liz, especially since daddy Dick has long embraced it. Watching the revelation on Fox News was a helluva way to find out.Mary's wife, Heather Poe, fired back on Facebook. Her terrific answer not only slammed Liz's words, but also pointed out both her hypocrisy and the fact that shes a carpetbagger politician:I was watching my sister-in-law on Fox News Sunday (yes Liz, in fifteen states and the District of Columbia you are my sister-in-law) and was very disappointed to hear her say I do believe in the traditional definition of marriage.Liz has been a guest in our home, has spent time and shared holidays with our children, and when Mary and I got married in 2012 she didnt hesitate to tell us how happy she was for us.To have her now say she doesnt support our right to marry is offensive to say the least.I cant help but wonder how Liz would feel if as she moved from state to state, she discovered that her family was protected in one but not the other.I always thought freedom meant freedom for EVERYONE.Mary Cheney supported her wife's statements. She reposted them on her Facebook page, along with this message for her sister: "Liz - this isn't just an issue on which we disagree - you're just wrong - and on the wrong side of history."Liz Cheney should be very proud, throwing her own sister under the bus in order to pander to Republican primary voters. I'm sure there isn't anyone she would hesitate to stab in the back in order to further her own political ambitions.
