As I understand it, Romney had just endorsed this loser.
Romney is an idiot.

I’m assuming Bennett is a RINO.

Not so much. That is one of the things that makes this kind of extraordinary. His sins were two-fold ... Bennett had voted for TARP, the infamous "troubled assets relief program," and he had cosponsored a limp-wristed version of obamacare. That coupled with his promise on first being elected that he would seek only two terms, and this was actually his fourth.
Overall, his fellow Utahans were not so happy with his recent shenanigans. He drew the least support of three candidates at the state convention.

But, but... Timothy M. Kaine, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, says Bob Bennett is “one of the most conservative members of the U.S. Senate”!

Speaking of his votes that cost him the nomination, Bennett said: "I wouldn't have cast them any differently even if I'd known at the time it would cost me my career."
THAT'S THE FRIGGIN' PROBLEM....POLITICAL OFFICE SHOULD NEVER BE A FRIGGIN' CAREER!! GOOD RIDDANCE YOU OLD FART!!!

He's not a RINO per se, but he's a symptom of what's wrong with Republicans in Washington. He wanted to compromise on Obamacare and he voted for the bailout. Plus he said he was only going to run for 2 terms.
The Tea Party movement is all about forcing Republicans to return to their roots. We don't want to work with the Democrats or make liberal legislation more conservative. It's this compassionate conservatism, reaching across the aisle crap causing frustration that in large part is driving this movement.

Make sure the person voted in is a real conservative. The lefties and RINOS are counting on us voting one of them in.

Hey California, We don’t need Charlie Crist in a skirt in the Senate. We need Chuck DeVore.

Although he has long been viewed as a reliable conservative A quick scan of rankings at www.conservative.org puts him in the bottom half of the Republicans in the Senate. This is not what we should have from one of the most conservative states in the country. I can live with a low-80s Senator from Mass or New Hampshire, but not from Utah.

Love the DNC clown at the end of the article claiming the Tea Party is extreme. Nope, you ‘RATS are the extremists and lying douchebags! Throw all you BUMS out ... ‘RAT and RINO alike.

Do you think that since Sarah endorsed McCain that the Tea Partiers will NOT go after him? I mean; Sarah is front-and-center of the Tea Party. So, how could they work to defeat McCain, whom she endorsed.

If Juan McAmnesty is not defeated then the GOP as a party is finished. He’s enemy #1 in obstructing the GOP return to its roots. He is to be defeated at ALL costs. Palin, sadly, doesn’t get it.
