Title: Utah Republicans Oust Sen. Bob Bennett in Anti-Incumbent Rage

Sen. Bob Bennett, a conservative who fell out of favor among even more conservative Republicans in an anti-incumbent rage, failed to get his party's nomination in Utah Saturday, making it very difficult for him to seek a fourth term.

The gangly, bespectacled senator finished third in the second round of balloting at the Republican state convention in Salt Lake City, sealing his fate, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. Businessman Tim Bridgewater and lawyer and Tea Party favorite Mike Lee finished first and second respectively and will face off in a June 22 primary.

When results were announced there were shouts of "he's gone, he's gone," as some GOP delegates waved "Do Not Tread On Me" flags -- a favored symbol of the aggressively conservative Tea Party movement.

In defeat, Bennett becomes the first incumbent Utah senator to be deprived of his party's nomination since Democrats ousted Sen. William King in 1940 over his opposition to the New Deal, the Tribune said.

Bennett, 76, was in tears, saying "the political atmosphere obviously has been toxic and it's very clear that some of the votes I have cast have added to the toxic environment." He was faulted, in particular, for supporting the Troubled Asset Relief Program -- the so-called bailout bill. He could yet try a write-in candidacy, but it would be a huge challenge.

Poster's Comment: Notice the word usage in the article and how it is spun. It reminds me of the News Reader comment in '92 that the public had "thrown a temper tantrum" by throwing out the Democrat majority.

Notice the phraseology such as "aggressively conservative" Tea Party movement. In other words citizens who object to corrupt government are being "aggressive". As well poooooooor Bennet was "in tears" over the "toxic environment". Notice the headline and how it is an anti-ecumbent "rage". It has little to do with how Bennet betrayed his constituents or spit on the Constitution but that the voters are in a "rage" thus implying that it was an act not born of rational thought.

Unfortunately most sheeple, including those who pay credence to this kind of crap will never even realize that their emotional responses are being manipulated.

How can this be construed as anything but good news? Am I alone in my thinking here?

The rulers don't yet realize the depth and breadth of the white-hot anger that is roiling among we the people who are expected to support, with both dollars and blood, the insanity that the regime is trying to force upon us.

Lod, I hope tou are correct. Nothing short of well spent dollars and blood shed by "real patriots" will clean up the mess we are in. There are many on this forum that believe a few votes cast here and there is all it will take. They are no more than what we used to call Rino's.Jeyhro, I believe as you do that this is a good thing. The powers that be will double their efforts using corporate money and their media friends to try and stop this from happening to other lousy encumbents.

Bloodshed plays directly into the hands of the controllers and I pray to God that it does not come to that. Not that I am a pacifist but strategically they hold the upper hand on the violence card. We, at least I hope we are not, will not kill indiscriminately and in wholesale. They will if cornered. They have been planning for that and even counting on it as a way to provide a fig leaf of justification for massive police state actions against anyone directly opposing their power. What we are doing now is more effective in the long run because it provides them with no pretext. Operating at the State and Local level, pushing on initiatives to re-establish State's legitimate authority and the legitimate authority residing with the people undercuts their actions to enslave us. I foresee a day when their supporters have shrunk to the point where their ability to impose force as a solution has dissipated. Until then we must continue to slog in the trenches standing up and manfully saying NO.

They do hold the upper hand and are incrementally squeezing us because there are too many cowards who think they will capitulate and give up their destructive power.

Thomas Jefferson told us what would be necessary to ensure our freedoms and justice under our Constitution. Unfortunately there are those who believe it may have been necessary during Jefferson's time, but now we are educated and simply voting the tyrants out will do the trick. Our Founding Father's knew back then what it would take to gauin our "INDEPENDENCE" from king george and it took the Revolutionary War.

Those who take the stand of non violence and no revolution will wake up one day and wonder how in the hell they came to be wearing chains and leg irons in an enclosed compound. I too wish all it would take is to vote them out, but they count the votes. I commend you for being honest enough to state your cowardice for all to see.

Now, your chains are ready and you have an opportunity to have a proper fitting if you swear allegience to TPTB.

I think you are confusing the desire to not provide a pretext with an unwillingness to fight. At this point in time violence would simply be futile and counterproductive. The time for violent confrontation came and passed with the death of JFK. However, too few were awake. Now our greatest strength is growing numbers and a simple unwillingness to bend our neck to the yoke. Their control still depends upon keeping people hoodwinked, pacified, and unaware. Take a good look at Freetardia and you have your average "movement" conservative. The numbers who, at this time, who would be willing to stand and fight is so miniscule as to be insignificant. Violent confrontation, at this time, would simply result in a clampdown so tight that it would be impossible to do anything to counter what they are doing. And the gibbering deluded microencephalic drooling defectives at Freeptardia would applaud it. However, even as a minority our numbers now are greater than those actually on the inside of the self styled elite, and more wake up daily. Some are incapable of waking up and so must be disregarded as the poor pathetic wannabe a slave that they are. The path back certainly includes the willingness to fight but the fight must be carried out with means other than force of arms, because if comes to that we lose.

I'll say it once more. You are a coward plain and simple and speaking of simple, you're that too. As I stated before, there will come a day when we won't have the ability to cast off our opressors. England had the upper hand and a small ragtag army with the love of freedom won independence. You have been dumbed down and been propagandized way too much.

Now run along and tell your buddy Obama you want a fitting for your chains and leg irons!!

Temper tantrums do not advance the cause of liberty either. However, they are dreadfully amusing.

I long ago ceased being worried about what immature people think of my position. My position is arrived at by examining the facts and following the consequences of actions to their most likely conclusion.

A violent revolt, without a central unifying cadre, is foredoomed to failure and would do more damage than anything else. That you are incapable, or unwilling, of looking at the data and consequences of various actions objectively is your responsibility not mine.

A generalized uprising would accomplish nothing other than creating a great deal of misery and result in the slaughter of massive numbers of innocent people. That is why, while we still have the ability, we must fight back by alerting, educating, and opposing by noncompliance and any other legal means what has occurred. Ideas, whose time has come, are more powerful than any military force. And opposition through peeling back the veil and exposing the malefactors is still an order of magnitude more effective than futile chest beating followed by group suicide.

England had the upper hand and a small ragtag army with the love of freedom won independence.

The rebels also had powerful allies in the form of France and Russia. You also really should read more history. The revolt of '76 was preceded by nearly 80 years of remonstrance and compromise while the festering resentment grew. The Revolutionary War was the result of the failure of England, and the Crown, to recognize that the colonists were quite serious. However, the colonists were not waging war against their own local governments they were waging war against a foreign entity bent on subjugating them and milking the colonies dry. While fighting spirit is admirable we do not have a Continental Congress nor a George Washington to unite the nation. As well we have not reached the point where it is even necessary to take up arms. We are not "backs against the wall" and no other option. A wise general, such as Sun Tzu, well understood that the most successfully conducted battle is the one that defeats the enemy without the need of armed conflict. The taking up of arms is a last resort because the widespread death and destruction it would bring is not a light matter to contemplate. Nor is its outcome certain. At this point in time it would only speed up the creation of the slave state.
