Barney Frank, Former Massachusetts Democratic Congressmember, Says Liz Cheney Should Run for Re-Election as an Independent

In a Washington Post op-ed, Barney Frank, former Massachusetts Democratic member of Congress, says Liz Cheney should run for re-election as an independent. See this ElectionLawBlog post, which has the relevant paragraphs. Wyoming has a liberal independent candidate petition deadline. It is in late August. The petition is somewhat severe but Cheney could meet it; it is slightly over 5,000 signatures.

Certain other states in the west have very bad independent candidate petition deadlines for office other than president, especially Arizona and Montana, both with May deadlines. Also California’s deadline is in March.

  1. People trying to get 5000 signatures for traitor Cheney in Wyoming would catch a lot of disappointment and risk getting the Matthew Shepard treatment.

  2. Greg: Anyone who risks giving the “Matthew Shepard treatment” will end up sentenced to life in prison like Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson.

  3. EQUAL still in 14-1 Amdt for INDIVIDUAL CANDIDATES – PARTISAN OR INDEPENDENT.

  4. Stock, yeah, they would. But that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t happen. Or more likely something short of that, like a good old fashioned ass stomping. It could just be a drive by with a super soaker, or maybe getting spit on. Or it could be just hearing no,hell no, and go to hell, all day long. The point is that while there might still be 5000 people who don’t hate Liz Cheney in Wyoming, finding them in a crowd wouldn’t be a whole lot of fun.

    If Cheney wants to stay in congress she better start moving to Barney Frank’s district now. Oh wait, they won’t elect her either, they just want Wyoming to. Oh well, she can forget about congress. The Brookings institute is calling, at least until Trump is back in office and it’s time to lock her up.

  5. It would be great for Liz Cheney to go directly to jail for her abuse of power, civil rights violations, and malicious prosecution of President Trump and his allies. Former Speaker Newt Gingrich said it could happen. That’s a much more likely scenario than Barney Frank’s fantasy.

  6. That’s true. People didn’t do anything on January 6 except legitimately express their opinions. They were welcomed into the capitol and were very well behaved tourists. The only violent act that day was a rogue cop who shot one of the tourists. There was some minor vandalism by antifa infiltrators but it didn’t amount to much, and one officer who felt bad about his fellow officer killing the invited tourist who killed himself the next day.

    The entire so called January 6 committee and the leadership which appointed them needs to be tried and punished for treason. We do still have a death penalty for that.

  7. It’s like when I woke up and thought I flushed the toilet, but in the morning I discovered I hadn’t.

  8. Just talked to my cousin in Wyoming, and his whole paintball league will be on the lookout for anyone getting signatures for Cheney.

  9. Greg, I like the super soaker idea. It doesn’t have to be filled with water, if you catch my drift.

  10. That’s not going to happen either. Wyoming will get a real conservative, loyal to Jesus, TRUMP, Country and Flag.

  11. Peter: I can check out anytime I want, but I can never leave. I will change my mind whenever I like as many times as I like.

    Winthrop: The violent mob on January 6th were waging war against the United States. They and are you are not Patriots. They and you have no respect for the United States Constitution or Democracy.

    Don: There is no God. The Bible is just a book of fairy-tales and Jesus turned to dust a long time ago.

  12. Apologies, I overlooked erasing an “are” in my above comment. It should read, “They and you are not Patriots”.

  13. Egyptian God: There is a difference between changing one’s mind and lying. But of you are too stupid to know the difference.

  14. Not my day for proof reading. The above comment should read,”Of course you are too stupid to know the difference”

  15. Stock is like the Satanist George Costanza. Believe the opposite of everything he posts.

  16. Waging war without guns? What a retarded statement to make.

    Don’t bother coming into work tonight Stock. You’re fired!

  17. Waging war with flag poles as bludgeons, sheilds ripped from the hands of police officers udes as battering rams, fire extinguishers thrown at the heads of police, and yes, guns were found among the rioters.

  18. Stock obviously has no idea what happened that day, but I bet he supported the BLM riots and murders.

  19. The US Congress, with the exceptions of Rand Paul and Tom Massie, have no respect for the US Constitution, or the American population in general.

  20. Andy: You are not a Patriot. You have no understanding of the Constitution or even what America is. If you have your way the United States would be a Christian version of Iran and Afghanistan.

  21. Let Liz run as an independent, and use ranked choice voting.

    It would be interesting to see if there would be a Condorcet winner there.

  22. Stock has no clue what a Nazi is, or what the Constitution is. Nazis have quite a bit in common with his beloved communists. He supports murderers like Stalin, Mao, and BLM.

  23. What did Congressman Frank do about ballot access in federal elections while he was a major player?

  24. “Stock has no clue what a Nazi is, or what the Constitution is. Nazis have quite a bit in common with his beloved communists. He supports murderers like Stalin, Mao, and BLM.”

    True!

  25. “What did Congressman Frank do about ballot access in federal elections while he was a major player?”

    Good question. Nothing that I can recall. His home state of Massachusetts still has some of the worst ballot access laws.

  26. I laugh when someone calls BLM murders. The US police kill 3000+ people a year. How many people did BLM kill? Not to mention that BLM wouldn’t exist if the cops weren’t murdering people to begin with! BWAHAHAHA

  27. You’re a Satanist and lying is a sacrament of your religion so if you say anything, that included, it’s probably a lie.
