Conservative PAC FreedomWorks, a prominent Tea Party group chaired by former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, is targeting Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch in the 2012 Senate race.
The group, arguing Hatch has insufficiently conservative economic views, is launching the so-called "Retire Orrin Hatch" campaign at Utah's Republican Convention on Saturday.
"It's clear that Senator Hatch is trying to capitalize on the popularity of the Tea Party movement by reinventing himself as a fiscal conservative," said Russ Walker, Vice President of Political and Grassroots Campaigns for FreedomWorks PAC, in a statement. "But his recent rhetoric and actions in favor of limited government simply do not erase decades of bad votes, costing taxpayers trillions of dollars. Indeed Hatch's body of work proves he cannot be trusted to consistently adhere to a fiscally conservative agenda, and possible primary challengers like Representative Jason Chaffetz (R-3, UT)give conservatives in Utah and around the country a great opportunity to trade up."

Got my fingers crossed. This will show the Establishment that we are serious about smaller government and LESS TAXES!

Hatch went along with Bush and together they grew government. Are we supposed to be happy about having another “R” in the Senate just for the sake of having an “R”? Sorry, but Hatch needs a shower and a pillow.

Orrin Hatch? That old woman? He has far far outlived his usefulness.

Plus he was Teddy Kennedy’s best friend in the Senate. He did not have the huevos as Judiciary Committee Chair back in the day to get in the face of the Minority dembots and stand up for good conservative judges on many occasions. Be gone RINO wussy NEXT

The last time I heard Hatch on Fox, he sounded senile. Time for him to leave on his own.

Cry baby Boner needs to retire too, IMO.

Similar to Dick Lugar here in Indiana.
I’m retired myself, and these old f@rts need to give it up, not continuing in the Senate in their 80s.
