Sarah Palin said she is joining the ranks for Mark Levin and Sean Hannity to endorse Orrin Hatch for Senate in Utah, which will undoubtedly cause some friction for those who are fighting so hard to defeat him in Utah:

There is evidence that he actually did. I think what happened to Bob Bennett a couple of years ago helped put some starch into his spine.

Sarah Palin, I believe, is politically astute enough to know that incumbents do have built in advantages and if they repent and turn from their RINO ways, we should welcome them home like the prodigal son.

"Mr. Balanced Budget" for Utah
Orrin Hatch is part of the one percent. No, not that one percent you’ve heard about. He’s part of the one percent of national politicians who I think should be reelected. Orrin Hatch is a life-long conservative whose dedication and devotion to the conservative cause and to his beloved and beautiful state of Utah is well documented. Orrin was a Utah state campaign chairman for a fledgling and failing presidential candidate deemed “too conservative” and “unelectable” by the media. Ironically, that candidate was the man who restored our country to be a “shining city on a hill” – Ronald Reagan.

When asked about Orrin Hatch, President Reagan once said: “If every member of the Senate were like Orrin Hatch, we’d be arguing over how to deal with a federal surplus, and that’s why I like to think of Orrin as ‘Mr. Balanced Budget.’ The United States has been strong enough to deter aggression and maintain the peace, in no small degree due to the efforts of Orrin Hatch. He has been a champion of those who fight for freedom.”

As President Reagan said, Orrin is “Mr. Balanced Budget.” Long before the issue of debt was on the forefront of Americans’ minds, Orrin Hatch knew our government would face insolvency if we did not get our budget under control. He sponsored or co-sponsored a Balanced Budget Amendment 17 times, and he voted in favor of a Balanced Budget Amendment at least 9 other times. We know he will use his seniority and influence to dissuade politicians from continuing to raise the debt ceiling without any plan to balance the budget and end these dangerously unsustainable deficits.

Orrin Hatch voted against Obamacare and has pledged to repeal it. While we’re on the topic of Obamacare, which is currently before the Supreme Court, keep in mind that the Supreme Court would not look the way it does today if it were not for Orrin Hatch fighting for conservative nominees on the bench – from Clarence Thomas to John Roberts and Samuel Alito. Unlike other Republican Senators who are up for reelection this year, Orrin voted against both of President Obama’s nominees, Kagan and Sotomayor. And unlike some others, Orrin has gone out of his way to embrace the Tea Party movement.

For the past two years, Orrin has received a 100 percent rating from the American Conservative Union. He’s staunchly pro-life – receiving a 100 percent rating from the National Right To Life Committee. The NRA has given him an A+ rating. Club for Growth listed him as one of the most conservative U.S. Senators and gave him a 99 percent rating.

I join other conservatives like Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, and Tea Party leaders like Sal Russo in encouraging Utah voters to return Orrin Hatch to the U.S. Senate. Since Mark Levin has always got a way with words, read what he recently told Senator Hatch: “I feel that you would be… a terrific elder statesman to a lot of these other young guys who I’m going to be pushing in these other states.” I’m with Mark. That’s spot on.

We need Orrin’s conservative Reagan-like leadership – and our new crop of conservative senators Richard Mourdock, Deb Fischer, and Ted Cruz might need some friendly advice finding their way around the Senate.

I will not criticize or contradict Sarah no matter what she says.

I don’t know Hatch’s opponent , so I will trust Sarah’s judgement on this race.

She made a better case for Hatch than any I heard for keeping Lugar.

Good call by Palin.

Some here forget that without Hatch, we wouldn’t have Thomas or Roberts or Alito on the Court. That was the key.

Palin doesn’t put much stock in Mitt Romney. She’s trying to help Mitch McConnell build a majority.

This was a shrewd move on her part.

Best,

Chris

Your “sensible” is another man’s caving into the establishment and going against the tea party which Palin has effectively done Like Mark Levin.

Hope that doesn’t happen. It would be the ultimate betrayal. It is what that guy who did Media Malpractice warned of about Palin last year.

“.....Palin........ She’s trying to help Mitch McConnell build a majority.
**********************************************************
I’m not going to hold this against Sarah Palin—she’s done, and continues to do, too many good things.

Whoever gets the Republican nomination in Utah will win the Senate seat in the general election easily. I’m interested in a Republican majority in the Senate. I just don’t want to see McConnell (who lacks true vision & courage plus is prone toward periods of “accommodation”) be the unfettered leader of that Republican majority. So the more truly independent conservatives we can get into the Senate, the better things will be—and Hatch is not in that category.

Let’s see if the same people who hate Santorum for his support of Specter feel the same way about Palin.

Well, doesn't she deserve it?

Hatch is part of the problem and needs to go.

Is that what we are now calling compromise-sensible?

Amen!

We have a chance to replace a relic and are being stabbed in the back by those who should be leading from the front.

"I wonder what the 3 of them know that the rest of us don’t know...

Some of the rest of us know that an OLD warrior will only fight the battles that he has somewhat of a chance of winning. The country will not turn perfect on January 1 2013 no matter who gets elected everywhere. There are some who believe that of the thousand or so important conservative political positions out there, if you don't believe exactly as I do on each and every one of them, you are an unprincipled sellout RINO. Others believe that half a loaf is better than crumbs.

If she keeps attaching herself to the establishment RINO’s, I’m through with her.
