Orrin Hatch: you're on notice

  Is it wrong that I'm laughing at Orrin Hatch? I mean, he seems like a really nice guy.
  The problem is that he also seems like he's a go-along-to-get-along guy who enjoys being in the Senate and also enjoys the role of policymaker. 
  Remember Plato warned you really don't want people to govern you who want to. They'll never leave. Does anyone think Barack Hussein Obama  would have done what George Washington did? Deny being named "king" as opposed to president?
  Though Sarah Palin supported Hatch, Tea Partiers have developed an independent streak, particularly in Utah. A few days ago, Hatch declared that he was "doggoned offended" by libertarians, and that he "despise[d] these people" and would "punch them in the mouth."
  Hm.
  Perhaps an unwise move considering what happened to Hatch's compatriot Bennett in Utah, who didn't even make it into his party's primary, and thus grew very very bitter about actually having to defend his seat and, oops, lost it.
  So old Orrin failed to clinch the 60% threshold in the primary runoff the other day.
  Haw haw.
  He missed it by a few points. In fact, he attained 59.1% of the vote.
  Haw haw haw.
  So now Orrin do-you-know-who-I-am Hatch has the expense and humiliation of a runoff. 
  32 votes.
  And it looks like it is KMA time for Hatch as he praised Ron and Rand Paul a day ago.
  The advantage is still in Hatch's court in many ways, including Romney's endorsement.
  But what's significant about this is that the Tea Partiers are still active. They swing elections. They care about where this country is headed. They don't toe the party line. In fact, they are a force that will influence for years to come. They may have gone underground, but they're surfacing in local and state elections.
  And whether they personally win elections or not, they will help shape the direction this country moves in.
  The rise of the Libertarian movement is also remarkable, though we rarely hear commentary on this. The Libertarian movement used to be made up primarily of pot smokers who wanted it legalized, but that has changed.
  You might say we have the John Stossel brand of Libertarian among young people.
  And YOU, Democrat party with all your creeping regulations and your grasping into our personal lives have fed that desire to break free.
  And YOU, Republican party, have not only gone along with it, but YOU TOO have become power mad, enjoying your exclusive parking spots and your easy TSA passage.
  Be on warning.
  Tea Partiers have become part of the political landscape.
  Get used to it.
