The 78-year-old, six-term senator was targeted by the group FreedomWorks, which favors smaller government and has helped foster the Tea Party movement. FreedomWorks opposes Hatch because he supported the 2008 bank bailout and a pathway to citizenship for some children of illegal immigrants. Hatch also is opposed because of his work with the late Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts to create a children’s health program that expanded Medicaid.

OH that evil Kennedy!

It's just a Tea Party "death panel" in operation.

The tea party really needs to die off

The Republican Party sold it's soul to this movement and now has to decide if the price was worth it.

I think even the Republican Party knows they are nut cases only to be used for votes. They won't support any of the promises made to the TP since they know they can make the same promises at the next election and get those votes again. The TP gets just enough of its rapid believers elected to remind all that they are looney. Unfortunately my local state rep is one of those.
