Hannity supports a RINO?

If anyone can call Sarah Palin a RINO for endorsing Hatch(Which I believe, someone correct me if Im wrong, she did in 2010 as well) than so is Mark Levin who also endorsed him

Under the theory that the Friend of your enemy is your enemy, I’d say defeat Orrin Hatch now... his hand-holding with Teddy did it for me... time for new real leadership that will not play paddy-cake with the libs.

i like Gov. Palin, but outside of an unrevealed flaw in Hatch’s opponent, I find this a head-scratcher. Maybe she is trying ti keep Kurkowski from moving up in ranks. Anyway, I dudn’t like Fiorina either. SarH’s great, but not impeccable.

Yes, she announced it today on Greta’s show.

Yesterday she announced she is “ABO”, effectively declaring her support for Romney. “I’ll do whatever I can, of course, to get ABO elected in the WH”

She is sensible — now if all the conservatives looking at her as a conservative icon would realize it and follow her lead...

Hatch did not run in 2010. He last ran in 2006.

Orrin Hatch had a real set of brass ones at one time. Maybe Sarah helped him rediscover them.

He regained them a few years ago.

She must have been offered some sort of quid-pro-quo... perhaps a promise of conservative voting from Hatch along with the forceful backing of the RNC (something she has inexplicably yet to enjoy the support of...?) for what may be her National political aspirations moving forward.

That's the only way it makes sense, IMHO.

Heard her do this on Greta, I disagree with her on this.
Time for Hatch to go, unless I'm missing something, he has shown a lot of Rinoism in the past.

Interesting: Sarah supports John McCain (supposedly because without him, she would never have gained the V.P. position, against a conservative; she supports conservatives against RINOs who win; now she supports another RINO against a conservative (supposedly, though not from the area, I don't really know.)

Sarah doesn't seem to use the same standards with regard to whom to support, though she must have her reasons.

Unlike people like, say, Karl Rove, who stands firm inside the GOPe, standing for the established RINO against any and all conservatives.

Difficult to gauge her reasoning for Hatch.

Within about the past 10 days El Rushbo explained a conservative axiom some great conservative of yesteryear propounded, and whose name escapes me.

The axiom is this: If a conservative isn’t joined in battle against liberalism every day, and actively pressing the conservative agenda, and standing up and speaking up for consevative causes and principles.....that person will slowly weaken and wobble and backslide until they become a CINO......or worse.

Mrs. Palin....a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a business owner, etc., etc. declined from seeking the presidential nomination, went back to the domestic life, whether in Alaska or Arizona, and only occasionally tweets or posts or gives a speech.

She is no longer down in the arena in the dust and sweat and heat of battle. So don’t be surprised if she begins to moderate her tone, and starts ingratiating herself with the Republican “upper crust” and appears to be desirous of being part of the “in crowd.” Hence, the wisdom of the humorous, make-believe adage: ILLEGITIMI NON CARBORUNDUM! (Don’t let the bastards wear you down!)

If she plays her cards right there’s no telling what sweet “plum” gig she might be offered if the Republicans accidently win some elections in spite of their bumbling, and find themselves in charge of some of the gubmint again.
