Well Utah has sent a message to all RINOs that exist in the political zoo in Washington D.C. It came in the form of the rejection of Bob Bennett, a 3-term incumbent Republican, in the second of three rounds of voting. Setting aside the frantic picture being painted by the MSM (main stream media ) that a gang of radical tea party-ers were to blame, you can bet that RINOs throughout the US heard the boot drop echo from Utah.
So, what is the reaction of the esteemed Utah Senate delegation? Bennett suggested that he was done in by the toxic political environment and a couple of votes. Then he said the words that really grind on me. He said that it was these things “that ended my career.” Well, there you have it. Any sympathy I might have had for the guy is drowned out by that “career” word. For I man who promised Utahans that he would only serve two terms, the word “career” shows his true heart. Too many politicians see their position of trust as a career as opposed to a time of service for their country.
The other esteemed Senator from Utah has a similar problem. When he ran against Frank Moss what seems like centuries ago, he fought off Moss’s argument that his position of power and influence nurtured over decades of work make him a shoe in for Utahans. Hatch downplayed the importance of such position, power, and influence. Utah agreed and voted him into office. How the shoe is on the other foot. Guess who’s using the “power and influence and position” argument? Can you hear echoes of Frank Moss? Like Mr. Moss and Mr. Bennett, Hatch has become a career politician.
Asked what he thought of Bennett’s defeat and the possibility that he will run into the same opposition, Hatch responded with, “I’m ready for a fight.” A fight? Now that’s a very interesting response. I’d ask him: “Well, just who do you think you’re going to be fighting with, Mr. Hatch?” There’s only one answer—his own constituency. If he thinks he can win that fight, then he deserves a royal whipping.
It’s time to remove career politicians across the country. Service in Washington is NOT a career or a right of passage or anything else. It’s an opportunity to serve your country and to maintain for the people their rights and freedoms.
We need more boots to drop.
