In addition to fielding impassioned talk radio calls from KFYI listeners (see, "LISTEN: Arizona Senator McCain Considering Re-election Run In 2016") this morning, Arizona Senator John McCain found himself being called out today by Senate candidate Liz Cheney as a "liberal Republican".
Arizona's Politics received a fundraising e-mail from Cheney - daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney - warning that "outside groups have begun invading Wyoming" ahead of her primary challenge to GOP Senator Mike Enzi. The e-mail is posted below the jump.
On the radio this morning, McCain cited former President Ronald Reagan for the maxims that Republicans should not attack each other and that he considered people who agreed with him 80% of the time as being on his side.
Friend --
outside groups have begun invading Wyoming.
Just last week, a
shadowy, out-of-state Super PAC launched a dishonest smear campaign to distort
my record. Last month, the National Republican Senatorial Committee partnered
with my opponent to raise money to try and stop us. This is the same Washington
Establishment that endorsed Democrat Charlie Crist over Marco Rubio. Liberal
Republican Senators like John McCain and Olympia Snowe have endorsed my
opponent. We must be doing something right if these folks are fighting so hard
to preserve the status quo.
These attacks are just the beginning. The
Washington Establishment is doing all it can to try to stop us. Even with the
mess in Washington today, the Establishment is fighting hard to protect
incumbents. You and I know that protecting incumbents won't protect our
freedom.
Your support is critical to the continued success of
my campaign and our efforts to stand and fight in defense of Wyoming values and
freedom. Will
you please stand with my campaign and make a much needed donation of $25, $50,
$75, $100 or more?
I am standing up to and fighting
back against these Washington insiders but I cannot do it without the support of
conservatives from across the country. And that means you.
Please help me respond to these attacks by clicking
this link and contributing to my campaign.
Thank you for
your support and friendship. With your continued support, we will prevail.
Sincerely,
Liz Cheney
P.S. The Washington establishment would
like to see my campaign defeated. I need your immediate financial help to ensure
that doesn't happen. Please
follow this link to make a secure online donation of $25, $50, $75 or more right
now. Thank you.
