Six-term entrenched incumbent Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, is attacking his conservative challenger, Dan Liljenquist, over his alleged support for tax hikes in Washington. My sides ache.
Liljenquist has never voted for federal tax hikes or massive entitlement spending or multi-billion-dollar bailouts or serial debt-limit increases in Washington because he has never served in Washington. Never. Hatch, by contrast, has spent the last 36 years racking up a Big Government record that cannot be whitewashed away.
Outside the Beltway/Hatch fog machine, Liljenquist’s integrity and commitment to reining in runaway spending are unassailable. In state legislative policy circles, he’s known as the “Paul Ryan of Utah” — after the courageous and wonky Wisconsin Republican congressman who’s forcing kick-the-can politicians in both parties to reckon with welfare-state profligacy.

I’m with you on this one. Hatch is the man. This Liljenquist by agreeing to tax hikes is toast in my book.
Sarah is on the wrong side this time.
Any sonuvabitch who writes and sings songs in tribute to the dead Fat Teddy Kennedy not only honors a g*ddamned traitor to our Republic, they are NO conservative and I don’t care how many celebrity endorsements from former VP candidates Hatch manages to acquire, it is time for that RINO to GO!!!
I don’t disagree with the no more spending. I would NEVER vote for someone who a) wants to compromise (and openly says so) with democrats on tax increases and b) has no inkling how stupid he sounds doing it
Maybe,just maybe they want the seat to stay Republican...this is a numbers count election”BIG TIME”
See: Arlen Sphincter (RINO-Turncoat-PA) after GWB and the GOP-elite decided it was more “important” to keep that seat in Republican hands. How did that work out?
Don’t hurt your ribs laughing.
