Folks, just heard, Hatch in a run off ! Liljenquist and Tea Partiers did it !!!

[combat_boots]

Yeehaw!

[cripplecreek]

LOL I’m guessing Hatch is absolutely livid about it too.

[VRW Conspirator]

mmm

[FlingWingFlyer]

I heard Liljenquist on one of the talk shows last week. I really like the guy. He was pretty sure that it was going to go down this way. He’d be awesome in the Senate, IMHO.

TEA Party On!

TEA Party On!

[jazusamo]

Great news, Hatch must be pretty upset after all these years.

[taildragger]

Sunday talk shows are going to be atwitter and trying to play this away...

This means nothing for November...bla bla bla...

Tea Party Baby !!!!

[CountryClassSF]

I heard via Twitter too that Hatch began his speech with a Romney endorsement video. Didn’t do much good!

No Mittmentum-not even in Utah.

[Keith in Iowa]

Orrin shoul take his lavish government pension, and royalties from his music and ride off into the sunset. It’s time for a new generation to take his seat.

[vg0va3]

Tea Party punched him in the mouth. AHHHHAHAHAHAHA

[mirkwood]

Mark Levin is gonna be upset.

[hoosiermama]

YES! Now if Lugar just sees the writing on the wall and retires!

[Longbow1969]

Wait Liljenquist? Isn’t he a Mormon? Aren’t there a bunch of FR posters running around spamming threads with anti-Mormon junk claiming that being a Mormon alone makes one a liberal. That Mormons are “progressive” because of their faith? Isn’t Liljenquist a Tea Party conservative and a Mormon? How could this be?

[taildragger]

Mark Levin is gonna be upset.

???? Please refresh my memory...

[rawhide]

Hatch told delegates before the final vote that experience can make all the difference in getting conservative priorities passed. "It will be my last six years in the U.S. Senate, but they'll be the best six years and the most critical six years of all," he said.

Hatch would have to reasons to carry out this promise. He will be under no pressure to deliver as he is a lame duck. What makes any voter think he will deliver, with this lame duck status!? If Hatch is so good at doing his job, then why is he even in this predicament?? The voter think otherwise, he is doing a poor job at representing them.

[Nickname]

Awesome! I’d be thrilled to see both Hatch and Lugar go but either/or is good too!

[Chgogal]

Excellent!

[izzatzo]

That’s great! I guess ol’ Orrin better have a punchin’ bag ready to relieve his pent up anger at the TP.

[Crawdad]

Agree, but be careful. Your time here could be limited. You don’t want to get run over by the passive-aggressive bus.

[newzjunkey]

Liljenquist interviewed with Bain and Company with a year to go in law school and was the only one selected from University of Chicago.

Yes, THAT Bain... as in Mitt Romney and Bain Capitol.

He got an award from Dick Armey's FreedomWorks, at which former UT US Senator Bill Bennett (turned out by the Tea Party) is a senior fellow.

He's only been in office 3 years... trust but verify.

[haircutter]

IT'S ABOUT TIME..

These old times need to find out they are REPLACEABLE, you get in your 80’s its time to rest and retire...

sure hope Tea Party begins to get renewed and we wake up the GOVERNENT. I'm tired of being told what to do by the GOP..they will soon be history.

[pabianice]

Hatch is denying the charges made against him by various conservative groups. Can someone please post accurate, documented charges against him? So far, it’s “he says; they say.”

[newzjunkey]

Mark Levin endorsed Hatch for reelection last year on the basis of all the work he's done ushering through good judges.

[unkus]

LOL I’m guessing Hatch is absolutely livid about it too.

---

Good.

[GeronL]

This is great news.

[South40]

No Mittmentum-not even in Utah.

Mr. Liljenquist, 37, is backed by FreedomWorks, a conservative Tea Party-affiliated group in Washington, and also worked for Bain Consulting — a company strongly associated with the likely Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

Well, I've been on FR for 10 years and never had a problem calling out stupid.

The idea that one is automatically a political liberal because they are a Mormon is ridiculous. Dumb as it is, there are a few fanatics that insist this is true. Never mind all the Tea Party Mormons who helped get rid of Bennett and are trying to do the same to Hatch. Some of these people just hate Mormons and insist on repeating dopey things on thread after thread.

[ASOC]

Ahh remember Joe Miller and Lisa Murkowski> Lisa “lost” the priamry?

Big Money and Left wing media stepped up

She is still the sitting Senator or Alaska.

Celebrate after the swearing in, not before.

[taildragger]

Don’t get me started on her...see private comment...

[conservativebuckeye]

You mean like Ruth Bader Ginsburg? I love Levin, but he’s wrong on this one.

[Waryone]

Praise God. May it ever be true. What are the chances Hatch will lose the runoff? I’m praying the Senate will be minus one RINO from Utah.

[conservativebuckeye]

Yeah, like Obama’s favorite Republican will ever go away. If Lugar loses his primary, I guarantee he will pull a Murkowski.

[SaraJohnson]

He should have stood up to the “progressive” for constitutional freedom. How could any senator watch TSA hand rape children, old ladies and handicapped people in the name of 911 Muslim terrorism, and not be outraged every day of their lives?

[lonevoice]

Aren’t there a bunch of FR posters running around spamming threads with anti-Mormon junk claiming that being a Mormon alone makes one a liberal. That Mormons are “progressive” because of their faith?

I don't know. Maybe you can find some of those FR posters on this thread and ask them. Surely you don't mean for taildragger to answer for others, do you?

If you don't see any of the FR posters on this thread to whom you're referring, maybe ping them here so they see your questions.

Otherwise, you look like someone who enjoys going around kicking rhetorical anthills just for the helluvit.

[BooBoo1000]

In addition to Orins Bullet Proof Underwear, he should be looking for a Bullet Proof Overcoat. The voters of Utah are sick and tired of Hatch sleeping in his Senate Seat.

They hate one Mormon in particular.

[VRWC For Truth]

I thought the Tea Party was a has been /sarcasm

Another GOPe bitten by Conservatives. Bye, Booby Hatch.

[deport]

Hatch got 57% in the first vote and 59.2% in the 2nd. Thus the forced primary as it takes 60% to avoid the primary. Dan Liljenquist a former state senator will be his opponent.

[Steamburg]

Bout time to retire the RINO’s. Best news all day.

[MissMagnolia]

Saw him on Greta last night - he is really pissed off & bitter & that was before he knew he’d have to face a primary. He seems to think it is personal with Freedom Works .... went on a rant about all the money they’ve spent against him vs Obama, etc. He’s been in DC waaay too long as evidenced by his attitude.

[StAnDeliver]

Schadenfreude!

[Steamburg]

It’s long memories like yours that lead to tea parties.

[Waryone]

If he is stealth RINO, I’d like to know, but your source link requires log in to the NY Times. (No thanks.) It would not surprise me one bit for Mitt to attempt to get one of his people into office. They would eventually turn RINO just like he does. But I wonder if that news piece isn’t just disinformation propaganda from the NY Times in order to help Hatch.

[svcw]

Hatch is a mormon and there have been zero anti-mormon threads.
There have been many threads exposing mormonISM.
These mormon politicians are who they are because of their mormonISM not in spite of it.
