I’m still laughing about this!! You know how pissed off he must be??

Oh, yeah. We do know: “These people are not conservatives. They are not Republicans. They’re radical libertarians and I’m offended by it,”

The arrogance is similar to Arlen Specter’s: “I’m simply not going to subject my 29-year record in the United States Senate to that Republican primary electorate.”

God forbid the people that sustain you in office decide to throw you out of it. The office isn’t yours, senator. It’s ours.

Lugar and Hatch have more Senate seniority than the other Republicans. I have no doubt some of the guys with less seniority are campaigning against them ~ to improve their own positions.

At the same time we need the new blood over on the Democrat side (BTW)
