Conservative PAC FreedomWorks, a prominent Tea Party group chaired by former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, is targeting Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch in the 2012 Senate race.
The group, arguing Hatch has insufficiently conservative economic views, is launching the so-called "Retire Orrin Hatch" campaign at Utah's Republican Convention on Saturday.
"It's clear that Senator Hatch is trying to capitalize on the popularity of the Tea Party movement by reinventing himself as a fiscal conservative," said Russ Walker, Vice President of Political and Grassroots Campaigns for FreedomWorks PAC, in a statement. "But his recent rhetoric and actions in favor of limited government simply do not erase decades of bad votes, costing taxpayers trillions of dollars. Indeed Hatch's body of work proves he cannot be trusted to consistently adhere to a fiscally conservative agenda, and possible primary challengers like Representative Jason Chaffetz (R-3, UT)give conservatives in Utah and around the country a great opportunity to trade up."

That is definitely how we got here, and “here” is such an ugly place that people are beginning to pay attention. The TEA Party is the awakened giant. We can take our country back.
Nice bike.
I like to think the TEA party is the eyes of the giant.
Yes! Good one.
IIRC, Dick Armey doesn’t like Sarah Palin so I don’t trust him all that much....wish I saved the article
Is this the article you were referring to?

Dick Armey about Sarah Palin'You know, the problem with all you big-shot politicians is you sit on your pedestals and make your pronouncements. Why don't you join us? Get on the street. And go to work for something. Roll up your sleeves and be involved with us.' "
What do we know about Chaffetz, other than that as Utah co-chair for Dukakis he worked hard to try to get Dukakis elected President?
Chaffetz is a possible primary challenger. I have a feeling a bunch of folks will jump for the Senator’s seat.

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
I can't agree with that. He has made a long journey since he started. He has almost come to the conclusion that the enemy is destroying the nation deliberately. A conclusion I came to decades ago. One he has reached or will reach soon enough.
And next time around, the biggest jerk of all, Lindsey “Goober” Graham.

I haven’t heard yet what Mark said. Would you please tell me?
BTW, how do you lock yourself out?
“As you probably know by now Mark was VERY supportive of Orin. Well no one is perfect and Mark has done a h@ll of a lot for this country, so I’ll let it go as a mistake.”
This...is why I want links, explanations, etc. because I don’t know “by now Mark was VERY supportive of Orin.”
I want you to prove Mark’s mistake.
Orrin has “hatched” his last plot against the taxpayers.
Erm...no.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t offer his services to La Raza for free.
Great on several levels....
No more “lifetime” career congress critters....dump em all!
If you claim to be a conservative, you’d better live up to the billing. If not OUT!
Senility is debilitating, Orrin’s has it in the past few years.
The Politicians work for us. It’s time they relearned that simple fact.
Freedom happens when the goverment fears the people, More freedom says I.
etc etc etc...............
