The Senates longest serving Republican is thinking about running for another term. Utah Sen. Orrin G. Hatch, a member of the Senate since 1977 and its president pro tempore, said after Wednesdays leadership elections that he was getting significant pressure to seek an eighth term.
Hatch, 82, had previously said he would retire at the end of his current term, in two years time.

Please retire, Senator Hatch. You’ve done enough. Enjoy a few years of rest.
As Mark Levin would say, in his harshest
fishwife’ kind of voice “Times up. Get Off The Stage!!”
I can only see this man with an urge to urinate more completely.
His voice is like that.
These people never go away. What kind of job is it that a ninety year old can still do it?
We darn well need term limits and AGE limits for congress and senate. 25 years after retirement age is darn well old enough to be done with elective office.
Definite sign senility has set in.

Kolob phoned?
This is a bad idea. Time for change.
NO, NO, NO!!! (banging head on table)
Is he talking about an exercise program?
“Youve done enough.”
You can say that again!
Sen. Hatch has been a reliable vote on the right side, sometimes, and a bit of an “issue” sometimes. He should give it up, sit on the porch and look at the view with his great-grandkids.
There’s a football saying for quarterbacks running the ball and it’s time to hit the ground or be killed: know when your journey is over.
It is time for this old senile codger to tak his own advice.
I can’t imagine what he thinks he would gain by another Senate term, vs. a comfortable and honored retirement.
Who knows...could end up with Senator Romney or mcmullin :/
Hatch is part of he ongoing coverup of Harry Reid bribe charges in Utah along with Mike Lee and AG Sean Reyes. There was supposed to be a grand Jury 6 months ago until Hatch and Lee stepped in. Trust me, I know this firsthand.
If he dies in office, he’ll get more press coverage, and his family will geta big monetary bonus from congress.

Yeah, I’m not feeling confident we’re going to get anybody solid out of Utah at this point.
