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.

[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.

[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?

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.

[StAnDeliver]

Schadenfreude!

[Utah Binger]

Thanks for the post. Poor Orrin. This is what he gets for thinking he is living in the past. And his ass kissing of Teddy Kennedy was just way over the top for true conservatives in Utah.

I clearly see there’s a lot of joy and jubilation here over the news that Orrin Hatch has to compete in a primary. Now, forgive me, but could someone please explain to me why do so many Freepers want to see Hatch go? Is it because of his position on some specific key issues? Or is it that he’s just simply been around too long and is thus viewed as part of the establishment?

One thing I find curious is, according to the Heritage Foundation’s legislative scorecard which is constructed as a comprehensive and revealing barometer of a lawmaker’s willingness to fight for conservative policies in Congress, Orrin Hatch currently receives a score of 91%, which is a higher score than all but five senators. (Heritage prides itself on being tough graders, as they should be):

I’m not trying to be disagreeable here, nor do I claim to be some big fan of Orrin Hatch... I’m genuinely interested in learning what am I missing here that should make me want to see him retired?

RINO hunting season is open!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

My guess is he is now toast.

That’s fantastic.

” “These people are not conservatives. They’re not Republicans,” Hatch angrily responds. “They’re radical libertarians and I’m doggone offended by it.”

Then Hatch, a former boxer, turns combative. “I despise these people, and I’m not the guy you come in and dump on without getting punched in the mouth.” “

78 years old, and won’t give up either the power,the perks, or the meat wagon....

Lugar, 80.....same.

Kick that Kennedy-lovin' POS OUT of the Senate!

Orrin Hatch, so in love with the dead Fat Teddy
that he actually wrote a 'tribute' song to him
'Headed Home', Hatch is EVERYTHING that
is wrong with the Republican Party today!
