Hatch predicts Specter will chair US Senate panel

we need 2 stop this

[FormerACLUmember]

Hatch has always seemed very destructive to reform. A RINO supporting a RINO.

[nanak]

I say we have to keep an eye on Orrin Hatch and his DREAM act.

DREAM act. = Financial for illegal alien college students

[rcocean]

Why am I not suprised Hatch would support Specter?

[wardaddy]

These senators are so clubby...they should all be queer and speak with Brit fop accents.

[26lemoncharlie]

Hatch is a spineless Twit! He has never stood up to the Dimms on the Judicial Committee. Orin should go and sit in the Flower Garden with his FLute and compose more of his Twitty Ass Music.

[Defiant]

Hillary gave Arlen Orin's FBI files. Arlen showed Orin. Orin now favors Arlin.

[steplock]

Hatch is no better than Specter --- he needs to go crawl back under whatever rock he crawled out from.

[Txsleuth]

I'll never forgive Hatch for letting the staff member go that exposed the tactics that the dems were planning on their computers. He exposed some activity that was at the least unethical, but could possibly have been illegal (regarding the affirmative action case).

Instead, Hatch was apologizing and asking for an investigation into how the information was gotten. He threw a good man under the bus, just to appease Kennedy, Leahy et. al. He is a coward.

[JanetteS]

Seriously?! I should have known when I got my "TRUST US TO DO THE RIGHT THING" e-mail from Frist that we were in trouble. All the fuss that we made and this is what we get - business as usual? Either all the senators we e-mailed and called don't care what our opinion is or they trust this RINO a heck of a lot more than I do.

I'm not giving up. I'm firing off more e-mails and phone calls but this is very discouraging.

[Cedar]

When does Hatch's seat come up for a possible replacement, 2006 or 2008?

[Jaysun]

Why is Specter so hell bent on getting this chairmanship in the face of so much opposition?

[Hardastarboard]

Somebody here said it first, and said it best - "Don't count your Hatch before he's chickened".

[Fledermaus]

HEY UTAH! Time to get rid of Orrin Hatch...he's been in the "good 'ol boy" network far too long.

[mississippi red-neck]

Hatch said no committee Republican voiced opposition to Specter during the meeting,

Two Rhinos in a pod.

He neglected to mention that where no other Republicans in the meeting.

Just Orrin and Specter.

[msnimje]

The should wire his cojones and every time he blocks the President's nominees he gets a little shock.

[NeoCaveman]

Is Arlen counting his Hatches before he chickens.

[Ptarmigan]

Never liked Orrin Hatch. He has no spine.
