and what kind of sister she is, in my opinion.
>> The simmering feud between the daughters of former Vice President Dick Cheney over same sex marriage has reignited on social media.
Mary Cheney and her wife Heather Poe took to Facebook to express their disappointment after Liz Cheney - a GOP candidate for Senate in Wyoming - repeated her opposition to same sex marriage during a television interview.
---------------------
"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 didn't hesitate to tell us how happy she was for us," Poe wrote on the social media site. "To have her now say she doesn't support our right to marry is offensive to say the least."
During an interview on Fox News Sunday, the elder Cheney sister said she believes in the "traditional definition of marriage," adding that she loves her sister and her family. <<

Liz and Mary were raised as sisters.
Heather is Mary's family.
Liz refuses to recognize Heather as Mary's wife, and I guess family, too.
So many levels of WTF here.
I support Mary Cheney and Heather Poe on this 'disagreement'.

(110,159 posts)a nasty person gets a kick out of being nasty. a nice person feels bad being nasty. that is why nice people have such a tough time figuring out the why.
look at nasty mom. she was just flat out nasty during the kerry campaign and you could see she liked being nasty.

(6,057 posts)I wouldn't be surprised if this "family feud" wasn't intentionally aired by the Cheney family to give Liz "creds" with her RWNJ base in WY.
It helps to offset her "carpet bagger" image.... by emphasizing her RWNJ "bigoted hater" creds.
