You've got to be kidding. I said "CONSERVATIVE".

When you look up "RINO" in the dictionary, there's a picture of Orrin Hatch next to it.

Do you want to know why there are no nationally known conservative lds politicians? See my tagline. Mormonism as a philosophy sees NO NEED for limited government, since they believe that humans are naturally good and unfallen. There is no sin nature in Mormonism. Limited government, separation of powers and checks and balances were established by the Founding Fathers because they had a Biblical world view.

Hatch is not my favorite senator. He has been all too friendly to the likes of Ted Kennedy, whom I regard as one of the destroyers of our country.

But on the other hand, Hatch has undeniably done some good things for the conservative cause, including his successful shepherding of Clarence Thomas's nomination to the Supreme Court. Hatch is also unapologetically pro-life.

So I don't think you can fairly take away the description "conservative" from Hatch. The fact that there are others who are more conservative doesn't disqualify him.

About Mormonism I know very little, and I can't say I care very much. Two of my dearest friends are Mormons; they are Tea Party members and the best people you would ever want to meet.
