Utah becoming the new South Carolina of dirty deals…….

I love Jime deMint but he is the only US senator who stands up every day for Conservatives?

How about
Coburn?
Inhofe?
Crapo?
Risch?
Burr?
Chambliss?
Sessions?
Bunning?
Wyoming guys?

Thune?

I think the world of DeMint but are is he against the world in DC?

If we are to believe the polls Bridgewater will be elected US senator next Tuesday–I think this take no prisoners attitude on him is more then a little wrong headed.

Short and sweet – Tim Bridgewater uses the same tactics that the Left uses to hijack the voters – lies and false promises. He’s desperate and is now saying and doing whatever it takes.

There is only one constitutional conservative running in Utah for the US Senate, and that’s MIKE LEE.

We must rise to the call of our countrymen. Utah must do it’s part to send the most qualified and most conservative representative to Washington to defeat them – otherwise, my friends, we have lost all.

PATHETIC! I encourage fellow PATRIOTS in Utah to do the one thing you know to be RIGHT and that is to vote for Lee! It is apparent to me that Bridgewater aligning himself with Bennett has proven he will be a clone of Bennett WE NEED MORE!

and holding a rally for him tells us all we need to know about how Bridgewater would likely vote if he’s elected.

If Bennett is replaced by Bridgewater Utah voters won’t have gained anything. I’m surprised, after spending so much money helping to defeat Bennett, that the Club for Growth has remained neutral ever since.

Also I agree with the above poster that DeMint is not the only true conservative senator. Credit should go to Coburn, Sessions, and a few more. There aren’t many yet….. but hopefully several more in January.

Just a note that like senators Hatch & Bennett—Bridgewater and Lee have never held elective office. If you look at their websites and here them speak Bridgewater and Lee say nearly the exact thing. To find a policy difference , at least based on what they say, is nearly impossible.

I think both are very fine men and outstanding conservatives. teaparty support is 50-50 in Utah so people on the ground who got the chance to look these candidates in the eye -prior to convention and caucus-put Bridgewater ahead.

DeMint ran a pro-Lee campaign but the Lee campaign itself has focused on going negative on Bridgewater.

Erick, you write: “Eager claims that Jim DeMint and Mike Lee are both affiliated with some energy company I’ve never heard of…”

I’ve read over Eager’s rant a couple of times and only find mentions of EnergySolutions. What energy company are you speaking of?

I am so sick of this crap that Bridgewater, Cherilyn Eager and Bob Lonsberry are peddling in desperate hope it win Bridgewater the primary. Hundreds, if not thousands, of volunteers across the state are fighting hard to counteract the lies upon lies upon lies. I simply cannot wait for Tuesday and for Mike Lee to emerge as the clear winner.

So thank you, Erick, for telling it like it is! You’re awesome.

I’m glad Erick dug deeper and showed me my error.

More troubling, Bridgewater has not and cannot deny that he helped secure U.S. tax dollars for a suspected Mexican drug lord to build housing no one on the planet can identify as actually existing.

This is absolutely fantastic stuff! What kind of tax dollars were involved — grant money? rebates? Fannie/Freddie mortgages? I’d really like to know. Exactly how did Bridgewater “facilitate” the arrangement? Other people had to have been involved. Were bribes involved or sleazy quid pro quo deals? Is the “housing” supposed to be in the US (the Southwest maybe?) or in Mexico? There’s gotta be an address (even a bogus one) on some document somewhere.

Yikes, there’s gotta be one heckuva paper trail on this, even if a lot of aliases were used.

Any links or sources you could direct me to? Thanks.

the details on the Bridgewater payouts will be made clear this next Thursday=two days after the election.

Funny its only the Mike Lee Campaign and Redstate that has bought this story. Not single media outlet in Utah has picked up this story. No one. Did Mike Lee lose his email account and press secretary?

Goodness all the netroot outlets are asleep on this one too?

This reminds of Chris Christie’s Mob connection. His Sisterlaw’s husband’s sister was married to a Mob figure. So his wife’s sister married a man who had a sister who married a mobster. Christie has Mob connections.

So probably Bridgewater owns part of a company that is connected with a business that owns apartments in Mexico. Drug Lords rent one of the rooms.
So Bridgewater deals with Drug lords.

Silly

Erik Erikson is ignoring facts to try and get Mike Lee elected. EnergySolutions is a Utah based company that has donated thousands to Jim DeMint and Mike Lee. They are trying to keep Congress from preventing importation of foreign nuclear waste. We live in a country that hasn’t been allowed to building a nuclear plant for over 30 years, yet Mike Lee and Jim Demint want to allow foreign waste into our country. Let those countries take care of their own waste.

EnergySolutions has also taken millions in stimulus money and government contracts.

Maybe you should spend some time investigating a Fed Agency called OPIC. Then go to YouTube and search for Reagan and OPIC. You will plainly see that OPIC is a government agency that uses US companies as a way to create businesses in foreign countries. The purpose of OPIC is to give loans to US companies since they are unable to get loans from banks to invest in foreign countries. It is a foreign policy initiative. The thought process is that a country that has US companies established there won’t be our enemy.

Tim Bridgewater helped start a company that was a consulting agency to help US companies secure these OPIC loans. That Mexican drug lord claim is false, but the building of houses in lower income areas of Mexico was funded by OPIC loans, a department Reagan praised as doing good in the world. Seriously, Erik is so desperate to get Mike Lee elected that he is ignoring facts. How does he expect to be a voice of conservatives if he can’t get facts right? At least Beck, Limbaugh, and Hannity get their facts right.

Things might work out. Were they the largest recipients of BP cash for decades? They have committed no crime, such as openly refusing to protect our border while simultaneously closing the borders of multiple counties in Arizona to Americans. Just an example.

Not surprised that Erick Erickson has wrote another article about Bridgewater filled with errors. He says, “Here’s the truth Jim DeMint has never attacked Bridgewater.” Is it not considered an attack when DeMint’s group calls Bridgewater Bennett-lite and calls him the establishment candidate. Seems like an attack to me. I for one would rather vote for Bridgewater than Mike Lee who is Ron Paul-lite. Like Ron Paul he doesn’t understand the importance of the fight in Afghanistan, Mike Lee says that there are more thugs in Utah county than in Afghanistan. Bridgewater is a strong conservative and understands the importance of victory in Afghanistan.

Tim Bridgewater

I have watched Tim for over a year, and I believe he is the best US Senate candidate in the primary. Tim’s attitude and methods and his actions have impressed me. Words alone are not enough.

I was surprised and appalled at two “comparison” flyers printed since the convention by the Lee camp. (Has their name on it any everything) Not only were the ads of questionable accuracy, they totally contradict what Lee has been saying he would do and say during his campaign.

Lee also seems to be very quiet lately on the recent attack radio ads by Common Sense Issues, who went after Mitt Romney in favor of Huckabee with push polling, Where is his outrage over the deceptive ads Freedomworks and Jim DeMint are running, or are they getting their message from Lee’s camp?

That those that are endorsing Lee are trying to smear Bridgewater with and use for fundraising for Lee, the “temple” flyer is pretty low.

The group that went after Lee prior to convention also went after Bridgewater with “polling” as well.

The fact that Cherilyn Eagar endorsed Tim Bridgewater, and Bob Bennett endorsed Bridgewater, in my mind, has more to do with how the Bridgewater campaign treated those two campaigns with greater respect than Eagar and Bennett agreeing with Bridgewater on issues.

Bridgewater has my vote.

The donations “from” the company were actually from people employed by the company. There is a difference – especially when dealing with the small totals involved, which would scarcely make waves.

I leaned toward Lee before, not caring so much about the race because I don’t know much about either candidate, but if Bridgewater wants to make it a bigger fight by attacking DeMint, then he and I just cannot be on the same side. I don’t endorse everyone DeMint endorses by a long shot, but those who would besmirch this man’s reputation are low-life lying dogs.

All these goins on in the home of the LDS. One can only wonder what the world id coming to.
Ouch I bit my tongue-in-cheek.
