Dems' thuggery knows no bounds

Orrin Hatch, the senior senator from Utah, didn't mince words the other day on Hugh Hewitt's national radio show. The Democrats, he said, "play politics very, very tough, they play it well, and they don't give a damn about what's right and what's wrong."

He was speaking about battles in Washington, but an even more vivid example can be found in Wisconsin, where the Democrats are still trying to overturn the 2010 elections.

Blindsided last fall by the election of Gov. Scott Walker, the loss of both houses of the legislature and the US Senate seat held by ultraliberal Russ Feingold, the Democrats have simply refused to accept defeat and instead are continuing the fight by any means necessary.

Lawmakers' weeks-long flight from the state to prevent a vote on Walker's reformist budget made national news; less well-covered tactics have included recounts and recall petitions as well as threats and intimidation.

Never mind that Walker's limits on the public-employees unions' collective-bargaining privileges were rather modest. Federal unions have never had rights like Wisconsin's; other states, including Indiana, have adopted similar limits without a hint of the sky then falling.

Even Massachusetts is considering restricting municipal unions' collective-bargaining rights on health benefits to save cash-strapped cities and towns an estimated $100 million in the coming fiscal year.

Maybe we need a stronger person instead of a weakling like you Orrin.

I saw Tony Coelho (sp?) on an NPR interview during the campaign for Reagan's second term. The interviewer asked him what the Democrat strategy would be. He said, "We're gonna find the fear button and lean on it as hard as we can."

The Dems understand smash-mouth politics; Pubbies understand compromise. Time for a change.

We are at war with Islam and the DNC.

Orin Hatch says this stuff, but is totally punked by them. He’s like a prison bitch who complains his man is too tough on him.

[tobyhill]

Well Orrin, it looks like you and the other Republicans have a choice, fight back or become a permanent minority.

[bmwcyle]

We don’t need someones B%$#h.

Like the blind squirrel...Hatch finds an occasional acorn.

but like most RINOs...he just complains and just throws up his hands.

Orrin Hatch, the senior senator from Utah, didn’t mince words.....

Hatch sees and hears the TEA Party and is more scared of it.
Normally Hatch has three answers to every question asked him, just to cover his ass, but it won’t work anymore.

We are at war with Islam and the DNC.

Be interesting to see how much they overlap in a Venn Diagram sort of way.

The Democrats, he said, "play politics very, very tough, they play it well, and they don't give a damn about what's right and what's wrong."
And I'd be willing to bet that Hatch still doesn't understand why folks are upset with the "roll over" GOP.

Yet the Battle of Wisconsin's likely to look like a game of beanbag compared with what's coming nationally, ........ Expect the Democrats to grab any tool in their kit and use it early and often .....

this is the real reason why huckabee dropped out.

we need someone who can fight thugs, not a guitar playing sunday school teacher.

[varon]

..............and they don't give a damn about what's right and what's wrong."

Because they are political terrorists!!!

Well Orrin, it looks like you and the other Republicans have a choice, fight back or become a permanent minority.

Just exactly what is it that makes you think he doesn't want to be in the minority? As long as he's in the minority his RINO behavior is masked with the built-in excuses of "those mean old democrats did it, not me! I didn't have a choice." Unfortunately, the republican party has always been more comfortable in the minority, because they simply don't believe their own rhetoric, and they are put off by having to defend or act on it. These guys don't really stand for anything you and I believe in. It's all about playing the game and milking it for all it's worth.

Even when they "leave" office, they never really do. As an example, Newt hasn't been in office for more than a decade. To the best of my knowledge, he hasn't had a job outside of government or think tanks/lobbying orgs since leaving congress.  I'm not really picking on Newt with this comment. Look at almost any politician. They simply do not live in the same world as you and I.

Once you realise that, it all is a lot easier to understand.
