“So it begs the question... Why are so many Freepers accusing Hatch of being a RINO?”
Well let me count the ways....
support of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Cass Sunstein, Stephen Breyer, and Timothy Geitner and Elana Kagan.
Hatch voted against banning earmarks
Hatch voted for Medicare Part D, the largest entitlement expansion since the Great Society… until ObamaCare
Hatch voted for and was lead sponsor of SCHIP, a massive expansion of government health insurance
Hatch voted for the Wall Street bailout (TARP)
Hatch voted for the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bailout
Hatch voted to continue the auto bailout
Hatch voted to increase the debt ceiling 16 times by a total of $7.6 trillion
Hatch voted against the interstate sale of health insurance
Hatch voted to establish the Department of Education, a federal takeover of our education system
Hatch repeatedly voted for the expansion of government health care programs
Hatch repeatedly voted for wasteful and pork-laden farm subsidy programs
Hatch repeatedly voted for bills filled with pet projects and giveaways
I am sure I could come up with more but I think this should give you an idea.

How the hell does he get a 91% conservative rating? The ratings must be crap.
Yes, but all of that doesn’t make Hatch a RINO, but merely a Republican. And shows you just how far statist the GOP has gone.
Hatch also was involved with the confirmation of Klintons AG I can’t remember her name but she looked like a Prison
Guard at Alcatraz.
This is the kind of information I was looking for. Thanks, GingerC.
Good list.
I believe Hatch also voted for NDAA, which is another biggie.
Great post (#95).
Thanks.
