Comments about ‘Chaffetz considers challenging Bennett’

I don't think the Constitution will allow Chaffetz to run for Senate until he turns 30.

I hope that Mr. Minuteman, Jason Chaffetz won't try to bring his far-right agenda to the Senate. The day that it happens, Utah will end up turning it's back to Reagan/Bush Compasionate Conservatism and will go for Liberal Democrat agendas. You see? Republicans are under the impression that Utah is 100% Republican, that's not so. There are more conservatives than liberals, but that doesn't necessarily turn Utah into Republican Utah. Hasn't the Republican "strategists" noticed they're losing ground? I wonder why? I'm LDS and a strong Conservative, but I'm also an inmigrant who hates the anti-immigrant rethoric of Chaffetz. Last year I voted Republican but didn't support Chaffetz as many other anti-bigotry conservatives did. I'm affraid for Utah. Republicans should be too!

Bennet lost my vote when he turned his noe up at voter and voted for the first bailout. Plus he is very liberal on Immigration laws. He has lost touch with Utahns. Same for Mr Hatch.

Time for change!

No matter what we the people need to vote Bennett out of office because of his continued support of ILLEGAL Aliens!

The Constitution? Since when is anyone in Washington abiding by that old, worn out document?

What a joke!

Rep. Chaffetz is 42.

Perhaps you are making a joke, in which case, it was funny. If not, I think the fact that he has been married for 18 years most likely puts him over the minimum age for Senate.

Lets kick Hatch and Bennett out!!! There both Libs!

Chaffetz's unbridled ambition exceeds his grasp of the nuances required to be an effective United States senator. He is a clown.

I agree - get Bennett and Hatch out. They're two old men who have outlived their time serving. They should gracefully retire and let some younger folks who are still in touch with reality serve.

I am tired of Chaffetz doing anything he can to get his name in the press. He is a phony.

I wish Chaffetz could get his facts straight.

Chaffetz will only make Utah the laughing stock of the U.S. I certainly hope that rational thinking Utahns win over and stop the extreme right from dominating the state.

We don't need anymore immigrant haters in this state.
I am ashamed of anyone who belongs to my faith and shows a bad name by their hatred toward immigrants. You display a bad message to everyone and do not follow the teachings of the church. I hope people will find it in their hearts not to support Chaffetz!

Oh, bummer....I was hoping Chaffetz would run to become one of the judges on American Idol....

I would be willing to entertain the idea of voting for Chaffetz simply on the basis of his anti-illegal immigration stance. I will, however, have to see how he does between now and then with regard to other important issues.

I worry about the intelligence of those who slander their fellow Utahns as "immigrant haters" without making the very obvious distinction between immigrants and illegal aliens. That is a form of hatred/bigotry in and of itself. I personally have always and will always give immigrants a warm welcome; it is an honor to know those who enrich my life.

I do absolutely hate anything illegal, including illegal immigration. And just in case someone wants to bring up the silly speeding/illegal immigration argument, no, I do not speed - even when no one is looking. I also have American Indian ancestry so that equally ridiculous argument won't work either.

L.D.S. love for illegal aliens. I'd vote for Mussolini if he would enforce the laws on illegal aliens.

Go for it Jason. Then when you lose to Matheson, we can all say "goodbye" and "good riddance."

Get over yourself Chaffetz
