Bob Bennett

The Deseret Morning News had an article about Bob Bennett and his struggle to keep his US Senate seat.  Here is my stance on the issue.

-Bennett originally said he would only serve two terms.  Now he is running for a fourth.
-Bennett is a social conservative, but no so fiscally.  His voting record proves it.  He and a group of many so called conservatives in the US Senate failed to hold the line on spending.
-We need new blood in GOP and in congress, and now is our chance to get it.

To his credit, he is fighting Obama Care.

The main item that I am upset about Bennett about is that when Bush was in office, Bennett supported TARP.  But when Obama was in office, he was against the economic bailout.  He changed his vote on two very similar bills because of the part of the occupant of the Oval Office.  We can not have that in Washington.  We need to stop the run away spending.  We need fiscal consistency.  We need someone else.
