Hatch has the primary behind him, is safely heading back to the District of Corruption for his umpteenth term, and now can get back to business as usual.

I know Liljenquist wasn't a particularly good candidate, but why do we have to put up with these same fossils decade after decade?

Every time he makes a bad vote, just for the hell of it, send him a rock or a brick, something to let him know that, though he’s immune again, we’re still watching.

Indiana and Texas Republicans are so much more intelligent than those in Utah.
They could smell the RINO BS and eliminated Lugar and Dewhurst in short order. Too bad voters in other states aren’t that astute.

Is any conservative really surpised that Hatch would go back to his RINO ways once winning the primary? It’s the RINO M.O.

At least we bagged Lugar.

Hatch didn’t like what happened to Lugar in Indiana.

These old poops that control the GOPe are so totally disgusting and are an embarassement for us conservatives.

Stupid GOP voters - just plain stupid. I for one am sick of the Boehners and McCains, Hatches, of the party. They thumb their noses at us and laugh.

Some lessons you learn the hard way.

If a GOP politician doesn't have a conservative record starts cozying up to the tea party, you can be sure he'll veer back left as soon as he is out of danger of losing his seat.

Might as well call it The Hatch Rule.

Another example of why I am supposed to trust Romney to keep his word, who is also a politician changing his positions just to win election.

It is tough to knock off these entrenched, established party hacks.

McCain beat Hayworth by pounding him mercilessly even before Hayworth entered the race and used money people had donated to McCain to defeat Obama in his Senate campaign, giving him an overwhelming money advantage. Hatch took note of that, and what happened to Bennett, and moved to the right ahead of the election to make it look as though he had gotten relition, and worked on building up his campaign warchest. Also, Liljenquist is not Mourdock or Cruz. But if I were in Utah, I would have backed Liljenquist. There is no excuse for sending a guy like Hatch back for another term after—what?—30 years already.

You can't take the title of the McCain Rule from me. I sweet talk Arizona conservatives six months every six years. I earned that rule!

I am sick of them too. And we only get to thumb our noses at them and laugh when we are able to knock them off.

Wednesday Glenn Beck warned of Hatch and how we cannot trust him... Turns out he was spot on.

“The Hatch Rule.” Very appropriate. I like it.

Their positions are always written on Etch-a-Sketch, particulary during election season.

We could vote the Dim in and then defeat him next term, better to have the enemy you know than the firend you cannot trust.

Unfourtunately we NEED a majority in the senate so we HAVE to hold our noses and vote this POS Hatch back in....

I am so glad I don’t live in Utah so i would have to pull the lever for this damned weasel.

Hatch and his ilk are sowing division.

He sure was. I also believe Beck was one of the few conservative hosts with a national audience who plugged Liljenquist. Good for Beck.
