Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said over the weekend that he expects former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will run for president in 2012 and that he "would be my preference" for the GOP nomination.

It's one of the first statements of 2012 support from a congressional Republican.

Romney is a RINO like Hatch and shares Hatch’s religious faith.

Of course does that mean Harry Reid will be endorsing Willard for president, too??????

He’s probably not the only Republican in Utah who will support Romney...

Hatch has failed to get anybody else to put him on the Supremos. Harriet Meyers gets nominated, but no Orrin “Porter Rockwell” Hatch. W, that was mean.

If he doesn't support Romney, Beck will find he suddenly got a 10% raise, Sundays off, and unlimited underclothing options.

And we ridicule blacks for supporting Obamao.

Hatch supports Romney because they share a religious belief.

Blech.

“Hatch supports Romney because they share a religious belief.”

Actually in this case, he supports Romney because they are both RINO’s.

Wasn’t it Hatch who called for amending the Constitution to allow Schwartzenegger to run? Get rid of the bum in ‘12.

It certainly was and that moment I knew Orrin was calling for help and needed to be put away in the old politician/lawyers home.

I used to be a big Hatch supporter. In 1976 I made sure he got all the votes from my huge extended family to defeat Frank Moss, the last rat from Utah to sit in the Senate. I know I was even dumber then, but it seemed right . 36 years rat free , thanks , now go.

Governor Palin has my vote. IMHO, if Romney is nominate, he will be the last PUB nominated.

The battle cry is “Fire the RATs; Fire the RINOs”.
