Orrin Hatch wants to rehabilitate tea party members – find primary challenger for Mike Lee in 2016 election

rino-republicansRemember last year during the election cycle, Orrin Hatch tried to play all conservative and stuff? He begged his BFFs on talk radio like Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin to endorse him for re-election over his GOP primary challenger. They did, Hatch barely won his primary, and easily won another six year term in November. Now, the mask is finally slipping off Orrin Hatch as he wants to find a primary challenger for Mike Lee when he is up for re-election in 2016 and wants the tea party ‘rehabilitated.’ It’s time for Utah to recall this washed up old RINO. People like Orrin Hatch, John McCain, and Robert Bennett who Mike Lee defeated in the 2010 GOP primary are the poster boys for term limits.

On Tuesday, 79-year old Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT), now serving his seventh term in the Senate, signaled that he and other members of the Republican establishment are likely to encourage a primary challenge to first term Senator Mike Lee (R-UT).
Lee upset former Senator Robert Bennett (R-UT) in the 2010 Utah Republican primary convention in the Tea Party’s first major primary win over a Republican establishment politician.
Hatch told the Deseret News and KSL NewsRadio that “[i]t’s time now… for Lee and other tea party Republicans to be ‘rehabilitated’ for refusing to pass a budget bill needed to keep the government operating unless money for the act better known as Obamacare was removed.”
