I only scan Michelle Malkin’s page for facts...I don’t even read her punditry anymore. She used to be spot on, now she wants to tell you what to think.

She ran this grand rant telling us we should all be ashamed and stop bringing up the ‘birther’ issue. She did it right there for me, that was one insult. And then she went on to rant that made us all look like ‘extemists’ and ‘fringlike’ and we should STOP talking about it. Three strikes, you’re out.

I responded on her page what a God-awful article to wake up to in the morning with my coffee and it made me spit coffee on my screen. I am insulted by your rant and your description. I don’t need you to tell me what think, how to act, and I don’t appreciate being told to shut up! It ain’t happening. The millions of us asking this question have a right to some answers from the man sitting in our White House. All I expect from you is just to give the facts, give me the proof of your facts, and you can even tell me your opinion, but just don’t take it that my opinion is going to necessarily agree with yours. I don’t give a spit whether I look extremist or fringlike to the idiots in Washington DC or the dumb and dumber supporting Obama. Pandering to their little sensitivities is not a requirement in my life. I’ll just give you site a thanks, but no thanks from here on out.

Her reparte is no longer funny and she’s gone over to the dark side of somewhere. We all know that establishment republicans need to be voted out. And apparently she doesn’t like Sarah Palin, we get that, and like some other conservative women I’ve talked to, she has her panties in a wad over whatever and seems to have bought the propaganda that she can’t get elected. And she evidently doesn’t think Palin knows what she’s doing.

But Palin is smarter than Malkin. Much smarter and she knows what she’s doing. Her strategy is right up there with brilliant. It’s as plain as wart on Malkin’s nose to me that Sarah is marginalizing the old coots with a teeny twinkle of not support, but minimizing her rhetoric. Palin knows that placing a bet on getting rid of them has high odds. The old coots think they’re using her and haven’t a clue that if she twinkles that support, they can’t come back and say she’s wacko crazy or incompetent. Sarah is smart like a fox. Malkin’s just an opinionated word smith.

Well Hannity is shilling for Hatch, so he’s gotta be great, right?

Personally I want Hatch to stick around just long enough to usher a couple of Sarah Palin’s Supreme Court nominees through the Senate.

Then he can retire a conservative hero.

He ain’t perfect, but he’s an expert in the one thing we will need in 2013.

100% from the American Conservative Union.

Which tells everyone what they need to know about the ACU rating system

“Mark Levin endorsed him and made a solid case for this guy one night.”

Proof that Mark Levin isn’t infallible.

I appreciate one thing Hatch has done...for years the AMA and special interest groups have been trying to find ways to limit people’s access to bulk vitamins, herbal supplements and even make it more difficult to obtain quite ordinary OneADay/Centrum type daily vitamins...there’s a substantive agenda against people seeking anything therapeutic or alternative health that bypasses the medical establishment. Orrin Hatch was the front man that kept the doctors from making criminals out of us for taking care of our health, and I hope that after him others will take up the slack.

Chaffetz got 100% from the ACU.

Hatch, like McCain and Lindsy Graham have jerked conservatives around at will for decades. If Malkin says Chavitz is the man
it’s bankable that he’s the man to give this Rino the boot. Van Sustern’s husband was/is a Palin consultant in some capacity (maybe guessing legal counsel). So what is behind Greta and Sarah propping up Hatch over the young conservative, Chavitz.? I sense a political favor in the works and suspect McCain figures in somewhere. That’s the second Rino Palin has now supported. McCain & Hatch are pals? What’s up with that? I’m not sold entirely on the judiciary aspect.

Hatch will never be a conservative hero. Do yourself a favor and review his political history once again - the few times he has actually stuck his neck out for something, it has been for profoundly anti-conservative causes, e.g. the DREAM Act.

He has no skills worth the inevitable betrayal at the worst possible moment, in the manner of the "Gang of 14".

Cut this one loose - he is the enemy within.

Hatch is getting old, but back in the day he was a true conservative ass kicker. Take the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings for example. Check out this awesome clip where he punks loser joe biden.

Michelle malkin is the fiercest attack dog I’ve ever seen and usually I like her style.

She does not convince me on this one, I think the effort to replace Hatch is a stab in the back to a reliably conservative senator. I’ve never seen him to be other than a pasionate conservative.

I don’t find that particularly impressive. Joe Biden gets his ass kicked by non-qualifiers from the Special Olympics.

Oh so he is endorsed by Palin AND Levin he single handedly fought Clarence Thomas onto the Supreme Court ...

Yet some have decided to make this sincere conservative man their target.

I won’t waste one cent on troublig Orrin Hatch when Barack Obama is THE enemy and THE priority.

Sorry, how can you call a sponsor of the DREAM Act a conservative?

Do you believe there is a definitive answer to this question:

Can a person who has contempt for the national sovereignty of the United States of America be called a conservative?

FOX has gone evening grey themselves if you want to swallow the “dark side”. We all are perfectly capable of identifying Hatch and McCain as
Rino’s who are habitually in the way of conservative advances. For the Fox yakkers to prop up Hatch is a real breach of reason. Greta,
Hannity and Sarah have contributed.

Yes here is your answer: There is no contempt for the sovereignty of the United States in any LEGAL solution. You and I might prefer an all or nothing method of dealing with illegal immigrants. Orrn Hatch tried to solve the problem and you know what, it needs to be solved. He is a conservative and we don’t have a conservative, including the great Ronald Reagan, who has not done something not truly conservative.

By your yardstick, Ronald Reagan clearly had contempt for the sovereignty of this nation, and betrayed it. And that my friend, is absurd.

Orrin Hatch is a conservative and a rather heroic one.

Didn’t Hatch help Justice Thomas become Justice Thomas? After that; somehow I think he got lost.

Show me a clip of a republican in the last 10 years in the senate that has comparable fire.

I have no idea what Orrin is about. I don’t live in UT. I use the console of others sometimes in inconsequential elections to steer my opinion. My main focus is to see Bob Casey live in a little box under a bridge with Obummer after this election. I feel comfortable getting that done this cycle.
