[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 270957, member: 33"] I'm no fan of Liz Cheney. I've always considered her to be a rabid right-wing conservative zealot which is very much consistent with the Republican Party which has moved away from a more moderate conservatism that I would associate with politicians like John McCain, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski. So it was kind of surprising to me that the Republicans kicked her out of her position as number 3 leader in the House of Representatives. It seems that someone's politics are no longer the important factor in the GOP but whether or not they support the Big Lie that Biden stole the 2020 presidential election. Ms Cheney said that the she "w[I]ill not sit back and watch in silence while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the president’s crusade to undermine our democracy". [/I]The implication is that his supporters, and her critics, in the Republican Party have abandoned the rule of law. If someone like her isn't made welcome in the Republican Party what does that say about them? Are they so morally bankrupt that they believe breaking the law is justifiable if it enables them to keep their hands on power? Can anyone trust the Republican Party again or is this just a temporary aberration that will go when Trump's influence over the party eventually weakens? As someone from outside of the country looking at what is happening with the USA Republican Party, I am astonished that some of those politicians who supported the Big Lie weren't the ones that were kicked out of leadership positions rather than Ms Cheney.
