In an elitist, condescending tone that would do a George Will or a Peggy Noonan proud, Sen. Orrin Hatch (RINO, Utah) exposes his ignorance and arrogance. It is a tribute to the temprament of CPAC attendees that he is not now trying to remove rotten tomato stains from his tuxedo.

Well you know what, IF RON PAUL is the choice, I am bascially thinking the same thing. Ron Paul is so far past Conservative principles he is meeting the left on the other side.

How dare a few that went to CPAC choose RON PAUL as the candidate? With his mindset that 911 was a government caused event and attacked W for taking the War on Terror to the Terrorist on their own soil?

If Ron Paul is pushed, YOU and others can bet Obama will be in the White House for a second term.

This is exactly the kind of Republican Glenn Beck was talking about last night when he said that he has yet to hear a Republican stand up and say, “I’m the Republican Party and I’ve got a problem”.

Hatch is in denial, like so many Republicans. They think “we don’t need you... you need us”.

Well, this is a family-friendly website so I won’t post here my gut reaction to that kind of talk.

Senator Hatch better get with the program. He like anti-American, socialist, Barack “Hussein” Obama is tone deaf. When the young folks, brainwashed in the liberal,left-wing, socialist colleges and universities turn on Obama and his Democrat Party, as they are, the handwriting is on the wall!!!

“If we fractionalize the Republican Party, we are going to see more liberals elected,” Hatch said,

Then I suggest you shape up.

You mean like your bestest friend and big toe, Ted Kennedy?

You didn't seem to have any problems with him.

Start anew. Defund/dismantle all collectives.

Sweep ALL out or let them ALL resign and go back to their families. They only understand power. It’s time to flex OUR muscle. The soap box doesn’t work. They control all of the amplification devices. It’s time for the ballot box. It’s peaceful. It’s powerful.

Sounds like RINO Orin is skeerd, and he should be.

The GOP better embrace the Tea Parties principles and return to the basic GOP platform or they'll go the way of the Whigs.

Orin has it bass ackward as usual, realize YOU are the problem Orin, face it or lose.

Orin has been in Washington so long that he thinks that he is entitled to make all decisions for us.

“If we fractionalize the Republican Party, we are going to see more liberals elected,” Hatch said, according to the Salt Lake City Tribune.

He's right, we need to stick together and blow out the liberals so we replace them with RINO's!

I am no fan of Orin Hatch, his senility supersedes his credibility.
However, Ron Paul so misrepresents conservatism that he improves the standing of the communist in chief. Either choice in 2012 would be the death of America, so if that’s the choice, there is no choice.

"Hatch blames tea party activists for Slade Gordon’s defeat in Oregon. As Dan notes:"

If Orin Hatch said that Slade Gordon was defeated in Oregon, he really has gone senile. Slade Gordon was a Washington State Senator.

There are a lot of Republican RINOS still trying to bring us into the fold instead of doing the right thing. We know they will change nothing; instead make it worse and they will go with the Demorats most of the time. Kick them out. The other fringes like the Paulbots need to learn to work with us instead of using bullying tatics to get their selfish agenda only.

I am sick of these pretend I am for the good of the country types who spew their agendas when they are no more for the country than Obama.

The real lovers of this country are the people who want whats right for America and there are many of us. These people need to get out of our way so we can accomplish this.

recent events would suggest otherwise. A wise sailer doesn't ask the changing winds to accomodate his sails, he adjusts his sails to accomodate the changing winds and if there's a storm coming his way, he might even change his course altogether.
