Can a property owner open a strip club next to a church? Can a porn shop open next to a school? Can you trust muslims?

I will donate HEAVILY to defeat this jerk when his time comes.

[White Bear]

Citizens of Utah! Hatch needs to go.

[LibLieSlayer]

I consider islam a death cult and not a true religion... so they enjoy no religious freedoms imho.

Barry and the other disingenuous clowns use the Straw Man argument all the time.They never address the real issues.

A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[1] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by substituting a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.

Dear Senator Hatch:

Please stop sending me your requests for donations,from the Republican National Senatorial Comittee.

I wouldnt give you or them a plugged nickel.

My donations will go to local Republicans who do not spend their time sucking up to the likes of Ted Kennedy and Nancy Pelosi.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Idiocy. Pure idiocy.

So now I have another reason not to send money to the National Party.

Good God, this is insane.

Go away Orin, 3 friends from my NJ hometown were killed there by Muslim scum and their remains have never been found, just STFU and go away.

Guess who’s not up for re-election this year? :)

[Terry Mross]

I see the republicans copping the same attitude as the democrats: “Who else you gonna’ vote for?”

This is dedicated to Orrin Hatch who has forgotten 9/11. May this be a reminder:

The “twelve” got together and God told them to stop the bigamy. He also told them to allow blacks in the priesthood. The only problem is He told them this back in the 60’s but told them not to start until the 80’s.

Just another RINO.

[guitarplayer1953]

That may be true but in the 1800’s the US government made it illegal for them to practice their religion.

I remember ol’ orin when he ran the judiciary committee and his good buddy pat leahy batted him around like a ping-pong ball, it was educational to watch a country club pubbie have his job usurped by a profanely vocal and overwhelmingly boorish dim.

I’m surprised Hatch took time to climb out of bed with the RIAA to make his position known on this.

[Lauren BaRecall]

That’s right, stick to principles even though the best of them may be the wrong thing to do in a given situation.

Solomon should have divided the child in half, right?

Hatch needs to go home to Utah!!

Sometimes Wikipedia has a gem in it:

In 1976 in his first run for public office, he was elected to the United States Senate, defeating Democrat Frank Moss, a three-term incumbent. Among other issues, Hatch criticized Moss's 18-year tenure in the Senate, saying that many Senators, including Moss, had lost touch with their constituents. Ironically, Hatch surpassed Moss' Senate tenure in 1995, having served for nearly double that period of time as of 2009.

I doubt Utah has been 'home' for good 'ole Orrin since the '80s.
