Have you noticed that Sen. Orrin Hatch has turned to Jake Garn, Jim Hansen and others of his generation for endorsements for his current campaign? These guys are nice guys personally, but they are also part of the group who were in office during the time our country was ever so slowly sliding into its current crisis.
None of them, including Hatch, made any noise about the excessive entitlements, the excessive spending, the easily predictable effect of decreasing employed persons on entitlements, the funding of wars without increasing revenues to pay for them, etc. These guys making campaign ads for Hatch have long since gone into retirement with the big benefits they garnered themselves. Hatch needs to join them.

I heartily agree Mr. Haycock. I strongly encourage the people of Utah to open their eyes to what Senator Hatch has become. He himself is at the root of the "entitlement" problem in this country. He feels entitled to six more years. Why? So he More..
The current slew of pro-Hatch TV ads ONLY indicates increased desperation from the Hatch campaign. Hatch has been around for so long, that he has secured a slate of "favors" due. Now in 2012, Hatch is calling in his markers. Instead of More..
And Liljenquist will be more of the same.
Break the cycle of abuse and elect Scott Howell as our next Senator.
