Hatch (R-UT) blames two Pub senators for Cuccinelli Loss

Fox News | November 7, 2013 | Orrin Hatch - Fox News Interview

[CedarDave]

At 8:45 a.m. EST, Hatch was being interviewed on Fox & Friends and was asked about the loss of Cuccinelli to Clinton clone McAuliffe. His response was "Cuccinelli would have won if two Senators had not shut down the government."

Outrageous!

It is unclear whether one of the two he was referring to was his fellow Republican senator from Utah, Mike Lee. The other, of course, was Ted Cruz of Texas.

[CedarDave]

Mark Levin supported Hatch for re-election last year. He has already publicly regretted that endorsement.

[cotton1706]

Hatch was voting literally in lockstep with Mike Lee for two years. Now that he is safely reelected, he can go back to voting with the democrats.

Fox commonly puts up videos from interviews. If anyone sees it please post the link.

FU Booby Hatch.

Sen(ile) Orrin Hatch (Establishment-RINO),
has spoken..all bow to his infinite wisdom..
do I really need a /S (sarcasm) tag?

“Battle lines are being drawn”

[Vaquero]

the e-GOP would rather lose membership in the house and senate than have a conservative elected.

those in control need to be ousted or we need to get out and form our own party

[DoodleDawg]

Cuccinelli may have won if Hatch and the rest of the GOP establishment had gotten behind him and provided the funding and support he needed.

[Will88]

I wondered when some RINO would step forward to blame Cuccinelli’s loss on Cruz and others who supported the defunding of Obamacare effort. So Hatch wins the prize.

Hatch has become one of the more disgusting RINOs.

What can a person expect from the GOP?

A knife in the back.

It’s going to be so very fun to watch your party crash and burn into the ground, Orin.

[greenhornet68]

I’d go out on a limb and say he would have definitely won had he received monetary support from the GOP. Liberals were dumping millions into McAwful’s campaign. Hatch and his fellow DINOSAURS need to go.

[CedarDave]

The RNC is saying they did indeed put money into the Cuccinelli race. Trouble is, it was a pawtry amount compared to when the Democrats spent.

[lormand]

I just sent an email to this flaming RINO. I saw it this morning and am still enraged.

They cannot help but accept any criticism of them and propagate it as the truth. Mark Levin will regret his support of this POS.

[Cheerio]

"....we need to get out and form our own party"

[lormand]

I’m watching Doug Shoen (former Bill Clinton pollster/adviser) give a strong and accurate description of what happened in Virginia, never mentioned the shutdown.

Instead of playing politics and making the biggest noise they can about ALL the failures of this regime, what do they fall on?

Blame it on the Tea Party

[Pan_Yan]

Orrin Hatch started his career with a quip about his primary opponent, Senator Frank Moss, saying “What do you call a Senator who’s served in office for 18 years? You call him home.” This year is Hatch’s 36th in the Senate—twice what Moss served.

Well, Martha MacCallum gave him an opening to blame the shutdown and Doug Shoen took it. However, Shoen is a democrat, not a GOP Senator from Washington DC...er, I mean Utah.

[zerosix]

Yes, Teddy Kennedy usually matched Hatch's vote for vote!

Let me think, Ted Cruz or Teddy Kennedy, which one would vote the way I like????

Give Hatch a big recall UTAH!

[who knows what evil?]

I knew where this was going before I clicked on the thread...Hatch and other members of the Uniparty are circling the wagons to defend themselves against conservative 'outsiders' like Cruz and Lee. The Uniparty's perspective seems to be better a member of the Democrat wing than a conservative...

Sick.
