SALT LAKE CITY — Senator Robert F. Bennett, an 18-year veteran Republican who had been seeking a fourth term, was stripped of his party’s nomination on Saturday at the state convention here, becoming one of the first Congressional victims of the surging discontent from the Tea Party-infused Republican right. Mr. Bennett, 76, was outmatched in delegate votes by two relative newcomers despite an enthusiastic endorsement from Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and local Utah hero, and a political pedigree of deep Mormon roots and public service. <exerpted>
He is a spender. Seems to me, and pretty clearly to the TEA Party , that the spending has got to be scaled way back, and "entitlements" cannot be untouchable. Note here, the "curruption" spending seems to continue unabated.
pro-amnesty, pro-TARP, big spending RINO.... he should lose.
...Mr. Bennett, 76, was outmatched in delegate votes by two relative newcomers despite an enthusiastic endorsement from Mitt Romney...
"The nation that couldn’t be conquered by foreign enemies has been conquered by its elected officials" odawg Free Republic in reference to the GOP Elites who are no difference than the Democrats
Interesting that this is going to make Orrin Hatch take notice, especially now with the Kagan nomination, he might have to think twice about just voting yes to confirm her, so it's all good IMO.
As if anybody needed further evidence of why Mitt Romney should be firmly asked to shut up and go back to that liberal hell he perpetuated...
