as a wyoming senator i would fight to help people in wyoming keep money in their own pockets. >> some of your conservative critics say you have flipped positions on some issues to try to attract wyoming voters that you didn't previously hold. you now say that you oppose same-sex marriage but they point out that in 2009, you opposed a constitutional amendment -- you say it's a state issue, it would ban same-sex marriage and you supported the state department offering benefits to the same-sex partners and they say that's a flip. >> it's not. i don't believe we ought to discriminate against people because of sexual orientation. if they are in a same-sex relationship and they want their partner to have health benefits or be designated as a beneficiary under life insurance, there's no reason we shouldn't do that. i also don't support amending the constitution on this issue. i do believe it's an issue that's got to be left up to the states. i do believe in the traditional definition of marriage. frankly, you know, senator enzi's friends and supporters are running an ad in wyoming and the se

i'm of wyoming, for wyoming, i can represent you better than mike enz issuing. all we've seen so far are her and her sister and her sister's partner going back and forth on facebook. not helpful in that regard. dick cheney disputing whether or not he and mike enzi are fishing buddies. none of that matters at all to republican primary voters in the state of wyoming and that's bad for liz cheney. >> mary cheney responded on facebook to sister saying, liz, this isn't an issue on which we disagree, which is the language liz used with chris wallace. you were just wrong and on the wrong side of history. karen, there's no question that liz cheney needs to persuade wyoming voters she's of wyoming. frankly having spent some time in wyoming and having watched this over the years, i don't think there's any doubt the cheneys are connected to wyoming. the parents have always had a house there. she's fourth generation on one side, third generation on the other. she worked in government and lived in mclane, virginia but the carpet bagger label is a little hard to make stick. >

wyoming? >> well, it's complicated. it mirrors what families are having who struggle with this issue and perhaps more in the old-fashioned arena of a family are coming to it. but you're right. what you worry about here for liz cheney is whether or not she's really being authentic. is she taking this position so she can be more in tune with the voters in wyoming where she's running for the senate. or is this really what she believes. and it's -- you one wonders, given the history in her family. the father, dick cheney, the vice president has been a longtime support of marriage equality even as a vice president. so it's complicated. families are complicated. >> they certainly are. one reason liz may feel offensive about this because of the ads she's being hit with in wyoming. i want to show a peek to everybody. >> in wyoming cheney conserampa as a conservative. >> is it politically sustainable for candidates to say they're in favor of marital rights and in recognition of federal government, but not so much for marriage. w

let's watch. >> in wyoming, cheney campaigns as a conservative. in washington, she appears on msnbc to campaign against the marriage amendment and support government benefits for gay couples. >> i applaud, for example, the state department decision to extend benefits to same-sex partners around the world. >> liz cheney, wrong for wyoming. >> well, there you go. what do you make of that, capehart? she's nailed for coming on this network. my god. how tough is it getting out there? >> i know. the idea liz cheney is not conservative is what is hilarious to me. she is very conservative. joy, you ran down all the reasons why she is. and the fact she came on msnbc, you know, like to get both sides. folks watching liz cheney know she's not a card carrying liberal. she's not a democrat. she is a republican and she is a conservative. the fact she's being hammered for, you know, taking a human rights view, i mean, same-sex couples should get the same benefits as heterosexual married couples. that shouldn't be a controversy. and in the republican party these

liz cheney is challenging mike enzi in wyoming discussed her opposition to marriages between gay and lesbian couples. that led to mary cheney and her wife, liz's sister mary to respond on facebook criticizes remarks and highlighting the fact that liz only moved to wyoming recently, a potential vulnerability in her campaign. then the cheneys parents got involved yesterday releasing a statement that want reads in part this is an issue we have dealt with privately for many years. and we are pained to see it become public. since i want has, one thing should be clear. liz has always believed train additional definition of marriage. she has also always treated her sister and her sister's family with love and respect, exactly as she should have done. compassion is called for even when there is disagreement about such a fundamental matter and liz's many kindnesses shouldn't be used to dissort her position. vice president cheney said he supports same sex marriage at the state level. nicole, you know the cheneys. what forced dick cheney to go out publicly yesterday and to put out a statement o

wyoming is not mississippi or alabama or iowa. it's a libertarian state in intermountain west where there's individualist culture and dick cheney said freedom should mean freedom for everyone. it's remarkable that he didn't in wyoming feel the need to take the strong position that she has taken. >> thank you very much. one of the headlines today from our nbc first read team, medicaid expansion, a winner in louisiana race. it involves republican businessman vance mcallister's win against state senator neil ri riser. he got 60% of the vote beating his tea party backed opponent. what's north worthy, he supported expanding medicaid under the health care law, something the state's leader, including jindal opposed and riser attacked him for it. >> they were trying to wrap president obama around my neck which he's not very popular in this highly conservative district that we have. it was 100% negative campaigning against 100% campaign. i stayed true to my faith and maintained my integrity and my faith was tested a few times. but the lord

the report was -- in pavilion, wyoming. the report was so flawed they were forced to disavow their initial conclusion that hydraulic fracturing caused contamination in pavilion. their phony conclusions were widely reported, altered national public perception and the e.p.a. did not back away until the damage was already done. two years later, the e.p.a. turned the study over to the state of wyoming where it will undergo the scientific rigor it deserves. mr. speaker, the question today is not whether hydraulic fracturing should be regulated. it should. but we shouldn't allow the federal government to regulate when states are already stepping up to the plate. my home state of wyoming has been a leader in hydraulic fracturing regulations. so much so that then bureau of land management holds up wyoming as a model. what works for wyoming might not work for texas. or pennsylvania. the hydrology and geology are different. any state that accums -- assumes the responsibility of regulating hydraulic fracturing should be allowed to do

she is not really from wyoming. yes, her father represented in the house, but she has lived in virginia until five minutes ago. she moves into the state, in a very arrogant way, very entitled way. and then she trims her positions in order to try to win a primary. it's so transparent. she is already down by more than 50 points against mike enzi. after this, probably closer to 60 points. these kinds of candidates don't win. now is it possible for her to come back to win the primary, no. things change in politics. >> of course they do. >> but right now, in an extraordinarily self-destructive way, she has both hurt her position in her family and hurt herself politically, so any reputation she had for being smart is really in jeopardy right now. >> margie, part of liz cheney's campaign against the older mike enzi is that she is running to be a new generation of leader. out with the old, in with the new. but when even your conservative father supports same-sex marriage, is there anything really fresh on you about her stan

if you were a conservative of wyoming and you like the jib of the woman running out there and thought it was time for a new generation. and you heard she was loyal to her sister on same-sex marriage because she was her sister, would anybody normal vote against her if they knew the reason. people don't make -- people aren't that dumb and klutzy to say if she's on that position. no she takes that because of her sister. understand that. who would want the votes of people who voted for you when you threw your sister under the bus? who would want those people? is politics that desperate? as jack kennedy once said party loyalty asks too much. >> you're right. i grew up in colorado out west. we drove through colorado a lot. the thing about people out west, they are conservative. when i was growing up colorado

running in the state of wyoming and being against gay marriage in the state of wyoming is not going to hurt you when you're running as a conservative republican. so everybody knew that that was the position she was going to take. she says it should be left up to the states. the question is, why this kind of blew out into the open with her sister and facebook and all the rest. it shouldn't be come as any surprise to them that this was her position. this is also her position, her father believes its up to the states as he said to you, he's been talking about this since he debated joe lieberman in 2000. >> i asked liz cheney about it today. she wrote back to me saying "i love my sister and her family and have always tried to be compassionate towards them. i believe that is the christian way to behave." so there seems to be at least something here of hate the sin, love the sinner. >> right, yeah. >> the invocation of christianity. >> there is. look, clearly she's trying to say i love my sister. i disagree with her. i'm anti-gay marriage. her sister says you either -- you love my family as
