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.

So our strategy is to primary out RINOs and install the better option, correct? Haywood over McCain comes to mind. And to carry it over, do we do this in November? Vote for the lesser in effect? Has the Kenyan Marxist put us back into the voting booths?

Into our all so hackable, black-box, voting booths.

The Help America Vote Act was a very real nail in the Liberty coffin.

In part. I'm not advocating passivity i.e., go in and robotically pull a lever on a rigged machine. The Tea Party, despite it's NeoCon overtones, is a step in the right direction. Nullification by the States is another. It is like the old liberal cliche "think globally, act locally". It is like a game of chess. The threat of violence hovers there in the background thus strengthening the "resolve" of our political class. It was a comment by the great Chess Master Wilhelm Von Steinetz that an unrealized threat has more power than one that has been executed. It creates that tension that forces the other side to deal gingerly with the implied threat. Their fear of our going "Postal" forces them to deal with that issue and distracts from others. Just as we cannot be everywhere all at once neither can they. So, we are in a tactical game (another chessism - tactical: that is where threats and implied threats have real force). Despite pandemic corruption the creaking machinery still churns along and anything exposed which they cannot cover has to be prosecuted. The game is attrition. There are more of us then there are of them and to a large degree their power is dependent upon maintaining the facade that all is normal and not have broad swaths of the general public aware of what they are really doing. Individually we have a certain degree of strength however, it is as a group that we can exert much greater force. There is not just safety in numbers but strength. So their achilles heel is that they must maintain that pretense of normalcy and keeping their actions hidden. Most of their psych games lose their control value the moment someone becomes aware of what is going on. So, we are hanging on for dear life while trying to get enough people awake and aware to turn back the tide of totalitarianism.
