He is more like McCain.
Hatch and others are beginning to read the tea leaves. He and others like him have long been in the “go along to get along” mode and are just now beginning to assess the attendant damage. I’m sure that Senator Hatch has done good things along the way, but the damage that he and other moderate Republicans have done during their tenure is now staring them in the face. He seeks to explain away the consequent damage and save himself.
Coulda fooled me. Did, in fact...for a while.
Al Hunt = Long time member of the “death to America” media.
Just my opinion of course.
If they haven't learned yet, they never will.
They will spend money to remove the Isle in the chambers so they don't have to reach any more.
New and conservative blood will do the trick nicely.
Having watched him over the years, I think it’s past the time for a Conservative challenge, resulting in his return home to private life.
well now maybe all his face lifts and tanning beds has cooked his brain LOL. Get rid of the RINO!
Hatch the fascist now fears his once proudly proclaimed fascist vote history?
What a shock!

Powerful Senator Endorses Destroying Computers of Illegal Downloaders (Orrin Hatch)

WASHINGTON (AP) - The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said Tuesday he favors developing new technology to remotely destroy the computers of people who illegally download music from the Internet.
Orrin Hatch voted for the bailout. His words are nothing; his actions betray him.
Sen. Orrin Hatch has a message for the Tea Party movement: Work with the GOP or see conservatives lose more ground.
“If we fractionalize the Republican Party, we are going to see more liberals elected,” Hatch warned a crowd of 300 at a town meeting at American Fork Junior High School on Wednesday night, amid jeers from Tea Party supporters.
Hatch blamed extreme conservatives for the 2008 defeat of Sen. Gordon Smith, a politically moderate but fiscally conservative Republican from Oregon.
Hatch said if the Tea Party had not backed a constitutionalist candidate in that race, Smith wouldn’t have lost to Democrat Jeff Merkley, whom Hatch described as “the most liberal senator,” by 45,000 votes.
... All these dinosaurs who’ve been around forever have got to go. People are finally waking up to what crap statement’s like Hatch’s is … Republican does not equal conservative.
Maybe Hatch should have said something more along the lines of, “I repent. I’m sorry for being a supporter of Big Government. I am ashamed. If Republican politicians don’t start acting as principled conservatives, we’re going to fractionalize and destroy the Republican Party. It’s our fault. The American people are right!”
Hatch time for you to go Rino,Voting for all those left wing loons on the Supreme court.
Start packing your bags
I’m no Bob Bennett,” Hatch said
________________________________
You’re also NO Conservative on many issues!
Hatch is one of these In-the-Beltway types who thinks his greatest accomplishment was having Ten Kennedy as a friend, and of course, “reaching across the aisle!”
Just go away...please!
If you have to tell everyone how Intelligent you are, or how attractive you are,Guess what? You are not!!!!
A few of us here in Utah have other plans for Brother Hatch no matter what his intentions are. Your time is up Hatch! You crossed the aisle a few times too many.
That man needs to be removed from the senate by the scruff of his neck if need be.
If enough of these Senators get a copy of the Tea Party home game;how soon before they revert to the original election of Senators by by state legislators?
The heck he isn’t a Bob Bennett. He worked on all kinds of legislation with Ted Kennedy, like kiddy day care. He even admits it himself in the article.
I hope he has a strong primary opponent.
No Hatch, you are a lot like your good friend Ted Kennedy.
Actions speak louder than words. I don't expect these veteran GOP senators to grow a spine when they've already demonstrated they don't have one. Fool me once, shame on you ... fool me twice, shame on me - there isn't going to be a second chance for these jelly fish.
The man will be 78 in 2012. He will have been there for 37 years. Utah is chock full of qualified conservatives who can take his place.
Those three facts are prima facie evidence that Hatch is too attached to the seat for the country’s good.
Also, any pal of Ted Kennedy has already shown that he doesn’t get it.
We’ll decide.
The HELL you’re not, Orrin!! How many Marxist supreme court picks have you voted FOR over the past decade or more??!!!
