Calling himself a tea party true believer, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) on Tuesday in the same interview both praised the debt ceiling deal and said he plans to vote against it.
Hatch, who faces a looming primary challenge from the right from Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), took to Fox News’s “Fox and Friends” to tout his own tea party credentials.
“Look, I think the tea party people deserve a lot of credit,” he said in response to a question about Democrats and Vice President Joe Biden reportedly calling freshman GOP members of Congress terrorists.
“We wouldn’t be where we are without them. The fact of the matter is I’ve been a tea party person I think since before the tea party came into existence. I was one of the earliest supporters of Reagan. And all I can say is that, you know, it’s nice to throw that kind of language around, but the tea party people have helped bring about a change where they’re not going to increase taxes on this particular approach, and, yeah, the new joint committee could increase taxes, but I don’t believe that any Republican on there is going to want to increase taxes.”

Sen. Hatch, the fact of the matter is that you're a gutless, spineless, two-faced, self-serving Vichy RINO political hack who needs to get dumped into the Great Salt Lake.
And I am Beldor from the Planet Mars.
Sorry, Orrin...”Fool me once...”
Yeah, Borin’ Orrin has one of those plastic tea sets from the 1950s.
lol.
Sorry Hatch. You’re Conservative credentials have been revoked in their entirety.
It’s time for you to retire back to Utah and sit down to a nice hot cup of decaffeinated STFU!
Lindsey Graham is doing the same thing trying to re-brand himself as a right winger.
With bright red lipstick on his mouth, he yelled, “Look at me, I’m a young girl!!!”
He misses his old boyfriend, Ted Kennedy. He wants to date somebody new.
Dear Orin....
Your astrological chart suggests Uranus is in line with conservative voters.... Bye Bye !
Shove it up your smelly Obama, Orrin.
RINOs are slime.
CRACKA PLEASE...
Sen. Hatch, the RINO, is a Tea Party person
as often as a broken clock correctly “tells” the time.
What’s that guy’s name? Oh yeah, Orrin HACK... political hack and Rhino that I wish was a has been in reality instead of merely in fact.
Somebody needs to do a spoof on the old I’m a Pepper theme. Could be either I’m a RHINO or I’m a Tea Bagger with your favorite RHINO as the star.
Mr. Senator, we thank you for your conservative votes, really we do!
And we appreciate your understanding of just how important the Tea
Party is to your reelection.
However if you were really a “tea party person” you would not be
bending over backwards supporting Olympia Snowe and other Rino’s.
It not only brings to mind Obama bowing to the people he most admires, it leads Us to believe you do the same thing!
Arizona made a huge mistake reelecting John McCain. I pray Utah
doesn’t make the same.
Which is why he's claiming to be a TEA Party member ......at least until after the election. Then he'll go back to being a democrat.
lol. RINO’s tell funnies
Sorry Mr. Hatch, I remember when clinton federalized all of Utah’s clean burning coal into a park leaving his friend Ryadi from China with the clean burning contract. I didn’t even hear a wimp of a cry from you.
Sorry Mr Hatch,but it is really time you rode off into the sunset.Yet another reinforcement of the need for term limits.
