Sarah Palin backs a big government Republican

Facing perhaps the biggest fight of his political career, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) managed to get to endorsements last year from prominent conservative talk show hosts, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin. The hope was that the 35-year Senator could build up enough support to avoid a primary challenger from the right.
Political pressure kept Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) from running, but State Sen. Dan Liljenquist managed to push Hatch into a primary last month after the latter was unable to gain enough support at the Utah GOP convention. Hatch knows he has an advantage, which is why he’s been avoiding debates with Liljenquist — a point Glenn Beck brought up recently on his show, offering to host a forum for the two.
Based on what I’ve heard from friends in DC, they’re managing expectations, choosing instead to focus their efforts on Ted Cruz in Texas and elsewhere. This may have been brought home yesterday when Sarah Palin endorsed Hatch over Liljenquist:
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) has endorsed Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), who is facing a Tea Party challenge from former state Sen. Dan Liljenquist (R).
“I want him to win. I join Sean Hannity and Mark Levin and other conservatives who would like to see Mr. Balanced Budget return to Washington,” Palin said on Fox News on Tuesday night. “He wants to apply that common-sense economic principle of balanced-budget fiscal responsibility, and I want to see him reelected.”
This is the second race where Palin has backed a candidate of questionable economic principles; the other being in Nebraska where she backed Deb Fischer, who is a moderate on fiscal issues.
The only problem with what Palin says about Hatch is that he’s been on the wrong end of economic issues far too often. She may call him “Mr. Balanced Budget,” but Hatch has consistantly voted to increase spending and for budget deficits. He voted for TARP, which Palin also supported, and other corporate welfare programs.
So yeah, Hatch is just great if you want more government and more spending. Frankly, I’ve never been a fan of Palin, but this one, given what she claims she’s about, just makes me shake my head.
Palin is the ultimate political strip-tease, thrusting and rubbing her self all over a White House column. The dollars rain down and she gives them another sneak peek at what’s under that dress. See just how nasty America’s Top MILF will get for the cash at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/06/ecstasy-of-sarah-palin_15.htm…
Dude, you’ve been spamming article for years with your idiotic website. Get a life.
First, Dan liljenquist is NOT a Tea party guy. Oh sure, he’s backed by Dick Armey’s phony Tea Party group Freedom Watch, but Liljenquist has repeatedly ran from the Tea Party monicker. Further, he’s actually dissed the movement on more than one occasion.
If you knew the facts, you’d know Liljenquist allows himself to be introduced as a “Mitt Romney Republican” As if Sarah Palin would endorse one of those!
The guy has a spotty record as a state senator. He’s the typical Establishment Republican. He’s for the Dream Act, and amnesty for illegals. We got enough open borders Republicans in Washington already.
Governor Palin made a strong case for endorsing Hatch, a seasoned veteran who stood with Ronald Reagan.
If not for Orrin Hatch we’d likely not have Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court. Hatch was a pit bull when the democrats conducted a “high tech lynching” of Thomas.
Of course, let’s not forget that another Reagan alum Mark Levin has endorsed Hatch. He spent a considerable amount of his show recently going over why Hatch makes sense. Including playing audio of Hatch going at Senator Joe Biden as he smeared Clarence Thomas.
Hatch was also one of the few who vowed to fight to the end, in the attempt to get judge Robert Bork on the Court, refusing to be intimidated.
He also made sure Roberts and Alito had successful appointments.
Knowing Mitt Romney’s record on judicial appointments, having a seasoned veteran, a CONSERVATIVE guiding him, will be essential.
Hatch is also endorsed by the Tea Party Express, a real Tea Party group, as well as Steve Forbes, and Sean Hannity.
