The Tea Party needs to go after him on this alone:
The PROTECT IP act...

34 years in the Senate is long enough. "Utah likes Hatch" your statements prove yet again what is wrong with America, lazy voters with no perspective and ill-informed. The framing of this country was not intended for any politician to be a carreer...go serve your term then go back to your private life, is how it was built.

Some Utah Tea Party activists don't want out-of-state organizations like the NRSC "meddling" in the state's GOP nomination process. Unless those organizations are run by people who support open borders, pork barrel spending, raising the debt limit, etc. (e.g. Dick Armey, Chairman of FreedomWorks). Sounds like Armey really embraces those Tea Party values!!

We've elected Mr. Hatch for 34 years. Despite some who complain, most of us like having a staunch conservative in the Senate and on the Senate Finance Committee. There's no substitute for experience, and I will be voting for the man with the proven track record next year.

He's more concerned with his social-con agenda than he is about freedom.
We Texans can do better.

Our Utah brothers and sisters were supported during the fantastic FreedomWorks "Boot Camp," and the NRSC Office visit by many different groups across the country representing conservatism in states from Virginia and North and South Carolina, to Texas and New York. Quotes were taking by numerous reporters representing numerous states. We had a wonderful woman from Long Island with a cast up to her knee due to an injury, walking on crutches, and carrying her sign and camera, literally WALK the walk then talk the talk. We had patriots aging from 18 to nearly 70 passionately and respectfully gathering to ask the NRSC to let Utah pick who they wish to have represent them, not the National Republican Senatorial Committee. The people I spent the last four days with were wonderful, fantastic Americans who are only asking for the respect they deserve and to have their legitimate concerns address in a serious manner. If our politicians don't want to respect the Americans they represent and refuse to truly listen, they won't be our politicians/representatives any longer. It's that simple. Washington wants to complicate matters, we want to simplify them. Listen or go.

After Glenn Beck gave Orrin Hatch the goods on Cass Sunstein and warned that he would be the most dangerous man in Washington, the smug senator, who has long overstayed his welcome, told Beck that Sunstein "promised him" that he wouldn't be a megalomaniac. Hatch subsequently voted for Sunstein's confirmation.
Thanks for nothin,' Orrin. Don't let the door hit ya.

I hate that man deep down inside. He just causes my insides to quiver with the character that man exudes as he talks. I wish I still lived there, I would vote him out in a nano second.
