No matter how enthusiastic you may be about “purging the RINOs” from the system, it doesn’t always work. And when it fails, why should somebody like Hatch feel any loyalty whatsoever to the party leaders when it comes time for a close vote? Tick the guy off enough and you’ve got another Olympia Snowe on your hands. In a worst case scenario, just think of a situation where the GOP takes back enough seats to just barely regain control of the Senate this fall. And then Hatch suddenly decides he feels more like being an independent caucusing with the Democrats after getting kicked around by his own team in the primary.

IMO, you can substitute any of the GOP Senator’s names for Hatch’s and the same would be true. They’re all a bunch of self-serving jackasses.
More RINO blackmail.
Utah voters need to tell Hatch to GFH!
Booby Hatch has been a pain in America’s ass for decades.
He is the epitome of a pencil necked geek who wears extraordinary ties. That’s his singular accomplishment as he’s been slaving away for the demise of this now pitiful republic!
He, and Hairy Read give Mormons a bad name. This, of course, doesn’t speak well of their fellow cultist Mitt Romney.
I’ve always believed, since the impeachment proceedings of the evil Billy Goat Clinton that the Clinton duo had the goods on good ole Hatch. Perhaps some photos of his doing weird things to a male poodle?
Goodbye Orrin. You’ve done enough damage to the country.
The question I’d ask Republicans like Hatch is are the Republicans representative of American conservatives and do they support the conservative philosophy and vote for conservative ideals in law and government?
If they answer yes, then tell them we, as a people, are watching and noting their votes and statements, and if they are vote or speak out against conservatism we, as conservatives, will not support them.
If they answer no, then they really need to leave the Republican party and join the democratic party.
If they think that we’re just going to blindly follow them because they’re Republicans, well, that remains to be seen.
I almost said “well, they’re wrong!” above but did not.
Why?
Because enough people who vote Republican are giving Romney the win this year. I think they’re wrong, but all our—meaning conservatives—cajoling and persuading has not moved them.
So how do we really rein in the RINOs? Free Republic is not enough. Where are we failing? Is our message that bad? Is the driveby media that good? Is conservatism a losing proposition in today’s anything goes, give me mine America?
Blame anyone you want, but how do we oppose the winning votes? Those people are rejecting us.
Who works for who? Hatch is another Socialist crook loser.
This is true, unfortunately...my two senators - Chamblis and Isakson are probably the biggest back-sliding RINOs around. Both of the are just itching to appease Democrats to maintain their power while simultaneously shopping Radio commentators to spout their lying spew.
When Juan McC, Bush et al tried to sneak the Illegal Alien Amnesty by us, my two Senators were right there with them....the result? They bitch-slapped so hard by voter anger and calls, they relented and changed their tunes....THEY DID NOT CHANGE THEIR HEARS, however.
I will NEVER for for EITHER one again - E_V_E friggin’ EVER again!
Orrin walked past me on the sidewalk last summer. At his age and in his condition, he would do well to punch a sleeping old person in a wheelchair.
Threaten to take away the prince’s insanely cushy position in the royal court of Congrss, and the consummately bland, make no waves, PC bureaucratic coward might actually spring into action.
We need Term Limits in the worst way, because these disgusting “professional”, political marsupials care ONLY about maintaining the socialist, Big DC status quo.
“why should somebody like Hatch feel any loyalty whatsoever to the party leaders when it comes time for a close vote?”
Listen, I can’t go around expecting everyone to be a Jumpin’ Jim Jeffords or a Spectre. Know what that gets you? A Congress full of Spectres.
That old coot should have been primaried years ago. He and McConnell and Boehner are whats wrong with the GOP. We have to keep purging these RINO’s.

(extremely rude comment below. I warned you.)

“Is he caucusing with Barney Frank now?”
I believe that the vast majority of the time, it doesn't work, unfortunately.
So, if I understand the logic here. We should all enthusiastically support Hatch so he can remain in the senate, telling us how dumb we are and governing with the liberals. As opposed to challenging his re-election, and angering him, causing him, if he is re-elected, to tell us how dumb we are and govern with the liberals. I am so confused.
He's as likely to join the Democrats as [insert name of most conservative Republican you can think of here].
Chambliss has 100% 2010, 80% 2011, and 92.50 lifetime.
Isakson has 91% 2010, 75% 2011, and 88.15% lifetime.
I don't know just exactly what the numbers mean, but there are Republicans out there who are a lot more liberal.
There are some things hardly any Senator is going to vote for or against. And no politician is going to the first to take the risk.
Condemning politicians for not sawing off the limb beneath them may be being a little too purist.
I have a formative opinion about Hatch based on what I’ve seen...I’ll leave his fate up to his state.
I have direct knowledge of Chambliss and Isakson (I never ran across a public office I wouldn’t run for).....both are friggin back-sliding RINO snakes. the first chance they get, they’ll sell us down the Amnesty River. No one on this earth could convince me otherwise.
