Hatch Calls Tea Party Groups "Ultra-Liars" as He Heads for Primary

Hatch cannot even give a good speech after 36 years. He needs to go as soon as possible. We, the people, really don't need anyone on the Finance Committee especially Hatch.

The Utah Republican Convention did double duty as Groundhog Day on Saturday ensuring another round of politics in terms of the Senate race.

36-year veteran Senator Orrin Hatch came through two rounds of delegate voting with a majority, but not enough of one to walk away with the party nomination.

Hatch took 59.19% of the vote to Tea Party-backed challenger Dan Liljenquist’s 40.81%% thus ensuring a June primary for the man who has been representing Utah in the U.S. Senate for more than three decades.

A sixty percent majority was needed to lock up the nomination.

Out...
