Liz Cheney: I’m Like Winston Churchill

Anti-gay marriage GOP Senate candidate Liz Cheney yesterday compared herself to Winston Churchill in a speech that attacked the president’s positions on Syria and health care reform.

Cheney filled her 90-minute speech and question-and-answer session with red meat for the conservative crowd. She compared herself to Winston Churchill standing up to Adolph Hitler and suggested members of both parties in Congress are hiding information about Obamacare from the public. She wrote off the entire newspaper industry, but more specifically the Jackson Hole News & Guide. Cheney said her candidacy — she plans to challenge incumbent Sen. Mike Enzi for his seat in the 2014 Republican primary — is important because the country is at a turning point. “Nations go through moments where the people in those countries have to make a choice and have to make a decision,” she said.
