Surprise! Liz Cheney Crony Has Carpetbagged to Missouri to Make a Spoiler Run as an "Independent" Candidate for Senate to Siphon Votes from the Republican.
And He's Being Funded by Former Senator and Establishment Grifter John Danforth

Another neocon attempt to elect a Democrat to Teach Conservatives a Lesson.

A former senior investigative counsel who worked with Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on the January 6 committee recently moved to Kansas City, Missouri from Virginia with the intention of running as an independent in the 2022 U.S. Senate race.

John Wood, a close friend of the Cheney family, officially left his position on the committee in late June and rented an apartment in Kansas City. According to The Heartlander, a Kansas City-based news site, he only registered to vote there on June 18.

He carpetbagged from Virginia to run in a state he had no connection to?

Wow. He's a real Liz Cheney-style candidate.

"I've been friends with her [Liz Cheney] for a long time. I share her conservative views and her conservative values," Wood said in a recent interview. "But I also share her concern about former President Trump, and I believe deeply in democracy and our Constitution."

...

Wood announced his candidacy on June 28 as an alternative to the supposedly "extreme" GOP Senate candidate Eric Greitens, who was leading in the polls at the time.

Even though Eric Schmidtt, not Eric Greitens, won the primary and will contend with the Democrat to be the Missouri Senator, the Uniparty is still going forward with its plan to elect a Democrat.

And it's being led by former Senator and current Establishment grifter John Danforth.

John Danforth, the former Republican U.S. Senator from Missouri, is backing Wood's campaign with millions of dollars of his own money, and as much as $20 million from his political action committee, Kansas City-based author and journalist Jack Cashill reported in the American Spectator on Thursday.

Danforth co-authored an exasperating report last month that dismissed GOP concerns about voter integrity, claiming to make the "conservative case" that Trump lost and Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election.

As far back as 2005, Danforth was arguing that the Republican Party was too conservative, telling the New York Times that it had become a party "overtaken by conservative Christians."

Some of you may wonder why I'm so determined to purge the remaining Establishment liberal neocons from the party.

This is why.

They fight us harder than they've ever been willing to fight their friends, the Democrats.

They tank our candidates, they work to undermine our policies, they spread nasty stories about us to their leftwing media friends, they spread nasty rumors about our candidates to their media friends and Democrat oppo researcher pals.

They attempt to get us deplatformed and driven out of our own party.

They intend to make us second-class citizens -- at best.

It is time we returned the favor.

See the rest of Deb's article for more. Of course, Danforth was an Episcopal minister who fought hard for gay marriage, and shames any Christian and/or conservative who has problems with it.

And be sure to read Jack Cashill, who got an interview with this Neocon Plant. He sat down with him, along with Michael Ryan of the Heartlander, who'd broken the story.

In a prior article, Mike wrote that Wood had chosen to run because "he thought failed GOP primary candidate Eric Greitens was too 'extreme.' Yet, even with Greitens out of the race, Wood is still in." I asked Wood why he remained in the race and what he hoped to accomplish. He countered by asking whether we were Republicans. Yes, I told him. I added that I had voted for Eric Schmitt, the Missouri attorney general and the winner of the primary, an "extremist" by no known definition.

For the record, Trump carried Missouri by 15 points in both 2016 and 2020. "You can't win," I said to Wood pointedly but still politely. "It seems that all you can do at this point is siphon votes from Schmitt." Wood claimed that he expected to take votes from both candidates. Neither of us was buying that BS, and Wood was beginning to suspect he had wandered into political quicksand. With his breakfast on the way, however, he couldn't just up and leave.

As I continued to prod, Wood took the position that Schmitt's challenge of the 2020 election results and his closeness to Trump made him essentially unfit for office. When I asked what role Schmitt had played in the election aftermath, Wood cited the fact he supported a lawsuit contesting the election outcome.

Schmitt had joined other attorney generals in challenging the results in the four states that had changed voting protocol, allegedly for COVID reasons. "Schmitt went through the courts," I said.

Wood was at his most animated when the conversation turned to Jan. 6. When I asked about the summerlong riots of 2020, he said, "Those were bad too." The summer riots were far worse, I explained, but there were almost no consequences for the rioters. Scores of Jan. 6 protestors, I continued, were imprisoned for no greater crime than wandering uninvited around the Capitol.

Wood disagreed. He talked about the destruction the protestors wrought. I believe he was about to say they killed a guard but, realizing that canard wasn't going to fly with this audience, he used the word "hurt" instead. He knew who Ashli Babbitt was but insisted the officer who shot and killed her had no choice.

By opening the door to a Democrat, I argued, Wood was helping to perpetuate the dual system of justice now facing America. Mike picked up on the Russia hoax. When Wood insisted the FBI acted in good faith, Mike asked how they could repeatedly lie on the FISA applications necessary to keep the sting going. Wood shrugged and mumbled something about a special prosecutor looking into it.

Cashill points out that Wood has absolutely zero charisma and is "dough-faced."

Yes, that's what I would expect a fake conservative neocon Liz Cheney crony to look like.

I don't really believe he's a Republican. Cashill calls him a "nominal" Republican, indicating that he doesn't believe it himself.

By the way, I don't think the GOP should only have within it those with one single position on gay marriage. Or abortion. Or immigration. Or any of the other cultural hot buttons.

But what I've noticed about the neocons isn't just that they're liberal on these issues -- it's that they're passionately liberal on them. They will defect to the other party over these issues, and have in fact already done so.

If you're so devoted to open borders immigration that you will sabotage the GOP and support Democrats for five election cycles in a row to vindicate the open borders position, then yes, you're in the wrong party. You're a liberal Democrat.

If the left-liberal position on these social issues is so central to the core of your belief system that you will turn traitor on your former allies over them -- then yes, you're a liberal Democrat. Get the fuck out of my party.

You can be a Republican and be mildly pro-choice.

But you really can't be a Republican and be a NARAL Executive Committee member.

NeverTrumpers claim they're scandalized by Trump's tweets. But the real thing they were first scandalized over, which most of them will not admit because they won't admit they are fervent believers in the leftist catechism, is his uncouth declaration that it was time to send illegals back to their home countries.

They all believe, as the left does, that illegal aliens are Undocumented Citizens and Americans Without Papers and we owe them a Path to Citizenship, bigots!

And they hate "Trumpists" for being such bigoted "Blood and Soil" Nazis for insisting on the idea that only people legally granted citizenship or temporary visas should be allowed to be here. They believe, as their friends on the left do, that this position is Actual Racism.

If they didn't believe this was Actual Racism, they could have avoided the whole schism in the party -- and, in fact, avoided the Rise of Trump -- by compromising in the issue years and years before.

But they absolutely refused to compromise, because they are absolutely convinced of the moral supremacy of the open borders position, and they believe that to compromise with Racist Evil Scum such as rank-and-file Republican Voters is, well, to be guilty of compromising with Racist Evil Scum.

When the smaller part of your party refuses to compromise with the much larger part of the party, and block the much larger part of the party from winning on any of their preferred policy choices by dint of the smaller part of the party occupying positions of power and influence -- it's time to purge the unreasonable, uncompromising smaller part of the party from all positions of power and influence.

Sorry, that's the way it is.

It's Time to Go Full Buckley and Excommunicate the Neocons From the Party
