Hatch is 78, Rangel is 82 - time to get out of the way, Im sorry

The Sheep love the grass here and wonder why its starting to taste bad but as sheep go, they are too dumb to know what to do.

Senate/house approval ratings are dismal, but it's never your rep that's bad, right?

Unbelievable, but not really considering the powerful dumbing-down forces of government education and MSM/government propaganda.

...and here's how they say he did it.


Hatch polished his conservative credentials, boosting his lifetime American Conservative Union rating of 89 percent to 100 percent in 2010 and 2011, downplaying his reputation for working with Democrats (including the late Sen. Edward Kennedy) while emphasizing what tea party critics called a new-found concern with federal debt and deficits.

• He amassed a huge campaign warchest, spending some $10 million on his reelection bid – 10 times what Mr. Liljenquist was able to collect and spend.

• And he avoided television debates with his much younger Republican opponent, which limited their face-to-face encounters to a single radio debate.

Bleh.

Did you guys see a single story about Orin Hatch and Rangel that was preceded by the words: "78 year old Senator Orin Hatch ..." or "82 year old Rangel ..."

Yet most stories about Ron Paul would start with "76 year old congressman Ron Paul ...". Sometimes they even rounded up his age to 77!

Mmmmmm...reading the article the challengers offered no difference with respect to policy and the poor timing of the primary meant that it was all about party organization and GOTV and people like Rangel have that in spades. The "sheeple" didn't fail in this instance. The system did. That said I'm not sure a well funded and organized liberty candidate could have won either.

Or is it the ones controlling the elections don't want change? The corporate controlled media does well by their masters--they give us the appearance we have a choice in the elections, but it is nothing but slight of hand, magicians tricks... keep the people fighting amongst themselves. Conquer and divide!

Congress has a higher re-election rate than the old Soviet Politiburo.
