No, see at some time in the past someone here at FR disagreed with something that Senator Hatch said which automatically makes him a RINO so he should be run out of the Senate. That way we can run new names with zero money, zero name recognition, and zero chance of winning so that we can lose all our races.
But at least we'll have our principles (whatever they are for the week, that is)...
This attack-at-all-costs every incumbent or anyone who ever disagreed with anyone here is leading to the destruction of the GOP, and any chance to stop Obamacare, another 2-3 SC Justices appointed, Cap-and-tax, etc.
I wish people would read the words of Ronald Reagan about compromise. We get nowhere with a take-it-or-leave-it approach, and will ensure that the 2011-2012 Congress is, once again, Democrat controlled.
Dunno that much about Orin Hatch so I don’t really wish him ill.
However, on compromise, I have noticed that Republican Senatorial “compromise” usually seems to involve conservatives giving up stuff they already have and getting nothing in return. Then the Democrats coming back later take a little more. Its sort of like “compromising” with a thief.
If “compromise” as practiced in the Senate was a little more even handed, it might work.
When did you ever see Hatch attempt to stop a liberal SC justice?

No, the GOP has done that all by themselves. Any Senator has the power to tie the senate up in knots and create havoc to stop this degradation of our country. But they are more concerned with decorum and “civility” than preserving our Constitution.
