Michelle Malkin is completely right about Orrin Hatch.

We need to go after *all* the senators, excepting the Tea Party contingent: DeMint, Paul, Lee, Toomey, Rubio and Johnson.

They are all corrupt -- they are forced to be corrupt to join the "club," where all the senators protect each other and help each other stay in office. In order to stay in office, they must serve special interests who pay for their campaigns, they must build strong alliances with the media and their state political machine, and they must lie to the American people.

Senators are slick. Don't believe anything they say. They are experts at saying what you want to hear and then doing just the opposite. They arrange it so that the recently elected senators take all the risks and do all the talking and the ones within two years of their elections go silent. They arrange the votes so that they get the outcome they want but make it look like the senators up for reelection voted for the people. The Balanced Budget Amendment vote Hatch sponsored in 1997 was totally rigged to fail by one vote.

The longer they've been in the Senate, the more corrupt they are, and Orrin Hatch has been there a long, long time. Somehow, some way, they were able to get to Chaffetz and get him to resign.

Tea Partiers, please keep an eye on the Orrin Hatch situation and be prepared to help if the Utah Tea Party can get that situation turned around. Please contact Jason Chaffetz's Washington D.C. office at (202) 225-7751 and urge him to run.

ORRIN HATCH MUST GO!

Meanwhile outside the echo chamber and back in the real world, the American Conservative Union rewards Sen. Orrin Hatch ‘s 2010 voting record with a perfect score of 100 in ratings released Wednesday.

Hatch’s career ACU rating is 89.5. For comparison’s sake, former Sen. Bob Bennett ‘s conservative voting ratings are 86 and 83.8 for 2010 and his career, respectively.

Senators are mostly lawyers. Lawyers are trained liars. Lawyers/Senators enrich themselves while serving in public office and “one hand washes the other” is their philosophy and credo.

There is no question that they got to Chaffetz. They probably went back to the day he was born to find dirt on him. Probably found that he had soiled a diaper in public.

I have a small pad on my desk that’s been there for several months now. At the top of the page it reads “Primary List 2012 and Beyond.

At the top of the list is Mitch McConnell. Next is Olympia Snowe followed by Orin Hatch. There are several others who have been added including John Boener and my own CongCritter Eric Cantor.

I had hopes for Chaffetz but what the heck. I can promise y’all this, I pray that challengers step up to throw our bunch of losers into the street, even if that doesn’t happen, I will work tirelessly and spend my money to support even a Democrat if that’s what it takes to blast these bastards out of their cozy little nests.

I mean, what the heck is the difference anyway. I would rather fight a dem. in 6 years in Utah than Orin Hatch again, and again, and again...

THe fact that we can't get rid of these entrenched, corrupt politicians during a serious time of crisis that was aided and abetted by them really puts the kabosh on any hopes that we'll be able to reform our political system before it is too late.

Even McCain got re-elected, and he's as RINO as they come.

Actually, that isn't really true. McCain and Hatch represent the Republican party as it really is. Those of us non-progressive conservatives who would like to see the Constitution be something other than a doormat for politicians to wipe their feet on are definitely not welcome in the party.

Face it folks, the demopublians own washington and the media. We are screwed.
