Delivering the opening prayer of the Beaver County Republican Convention recently, cattle rancher Gilbert Yardley prayed for Utah to elect "honest" people to Congress -- anybody to replace "the bunch we have in there now."
Sen. Robert F. Bennett was in the room, hoping to persuade state delegates to nominate him at the May 8 GOP convention. A friend seated next to Bennett leaned in to whisper the obvious: "I don't think he's one of yours."
It's no surprise that anger at Washington and Congress is coursing through Republican circles, much of it driven by "tea party" activists. What took party leaders by surprise is that the anger here is directed not at President Obama, but squarely at Bennett. With a flurry of state primaries scheduled in the coming weeks, defeating Bennett could become a rallying point for anti-incumbent fervor elsewhere.

CONSERVATIVE Bump!
The sleazy and corrupt Bennett makes McShame look upright
Time for new people and fresh faces.
Being that I am from Georgia, (but, I can contribute to his opponents), I don’t have a vote in the Utah senatorial election this year. But, when Bennett was first elected, he stated that he would only serve 2 terms. He LIED! If he would lie about that, he’ll lie about anything. He is only as good as his word and his word is not to be believed.
Typical WA Post spin. They have been spinning like crazy trying to save RINO/Democrat McCain.
People are sick of RUNI and open border scum RINOs like Rubio’s friend Jeb Bush, Connie Mack the FOURTH (AH), Rick Perry, Kyl, Pawlenty, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Crist, Carly Fiorina, Meg Whitman, Arnuld, and other open-borders scum.
You have two stinking RINO’s in the Senate in GA who love illegals. Johnny and Saxby. The Senate Repubs are largely RINOs.

Makes you wonder who they serve doesn’t it?
Exactly. Look, Tea Partiers aren't thrilled with the entire Republican Party--but they aren't calling for a total OUSTER of all of them.
Hussein's party, OTOH, is a cabal of the most corrupt, insipid, anti-capitalist Washington, D.C. fascists this side of World War II.
NO ONE in the Tea Party wants Hussein's sycophants to stay in power...
But the LameStream Media wants to focus on the Charlie Crists who ALSO piss the Tea Partiers off.
WE CANNOT LET OUR FOCUS BE DIMINISHED: GETTING RID OF HUSSEIN'S POODLES IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE!
Yes, and I held my nose and voted for Chambliss last election. He was better than the alternative, .....but not by much!
A lot of these guys really do start out as conservatives. Orrin Hatch for example really was a strong conservative in the beginning. But they get body-snatched or something after they’ve been in Washington for a long time. Another reason I’m a big supporter if term limits.
The Senate needs to limit it to two terms.
Didn't Palin campaign for Saxby Chambliss?
No, just most of them.
The only way to stop Obama is to elect conservatives, not just Republicans that have been “around too long” and “go along to get their share of the loot”
I look forward to seeing the pro-amnesty RINO Robert “Bailout Bob” Bennett defeated at the state Republican convention.
Since I don't follow Utah politics much, what's the matter with Bennett?
Don't take this as a statement to support RINOs. But that problem may take care of itself if we start eliminating from the positions of power politicians who spout Hussein's bankrupt ideas.
