Jesse Helms was the only U.S. Senator in my lifetime who got better with age.
“It’s time for Orrin Hatch to go.”
Long past time.
Mark Levin endorsed him and made a solid case for this guy one night. It made sense to me at the time. If you are into ACU scores, he is a perfect 100. Why can’t the right have a cantankerous old man on our side like the left did in the last dead Kennedy? At least Hatch is still alive.
When I knew him 40 years ago he was a solid conservative but he’s morphed into a liberal socialist!
Orrin “Booby” Hatch a Tea-Partier??? Not in a blue-skied universe.
Booby Hatch is as liberal as Juan McAmnesty. Retire!
I don’t like what he has become politically. But this time around with the senate at stake I would vote for him. Why ? Because if he is good enough for Sarah Palin he is good enough for me.
As a rule, I only hate RINOS. Democrats on the other hand . . .
Don’t worry about it Michelle, he won’t even place 2nd in his own primary. Just ask Bob Bennett.
I agree. Time for Hatch to enjoy his retirement.
I only scan Michelle Malkin’s page for facts...I don’t even read her punditry anymore. She used to be spot on, now she wants to tell you what to think.
She ran this grand rant telling us we should all be ashamed and stop bringing up the ‘birther’ issue. She did it right there for me, that was one insult. And then she went on to rant that made us all look like ‘extemists’ and ‘fringlike’ and we should STOP talking about it. Three strikes, you’re out.
I responded on her page what a God-awful article to wake up to in the morning with my coffee and it made me spit coffee on my screen. I am insulted by your rant and your description. I don’t need you to tell me what think, how to act, and I don’t appreciate being told to shut up! It ain’t happening. The millions of us asking this question have a right to some answers from the man sitting in our White House. All I expect from you is just to give the facts, give me the proof of your facts, and you can even tell me your opinion, but just don’t take it that my opinion is going to necessarily agree with yours. I don’t give a spit whether I look extremist or fringlike to the idiots in Washington DC or the dumb and dumber supporting Obama. Pandering to their little sensitivities is not a requirement in my life. I’ll just give you site a thanks, but no thanks from here on out.
Her reparte is no longer funny and she’s gone over to the dark side of somewhere. We all know that establishment republicans need to be voted out. And apparently she doesn’t like Sarah Palin, we get that, and like some other conservative women I’ve talked to, she has her panties in a wad over whatever and seems to have bought the propaganda that she can’t get elected. And she evidently doesn’t think Palin knows what she’s doing.
But Palin is smarter than Malkin. Much smarter and she knows what she’s doing. Her strategy is right up there with brilliant. It’s as plain as wart on Malkin’s nose to me that Sarah is marginalizing the old coots with a teeny twinkle of not support, but minimizing her rhetoric. Palin knows that placing a bet on getting rid of them has high odds. The old coots think they’re using her and haven’t a clue that if she twinkles that support, they can’t come back and say she’s wacko crazy or incompetent. Sarah is smart like a fox. Malkin’s just an opinionated word smith.
Well Hannity is shilling for Hatch, so he’s gotta be great, right?

I appreciate one thing Hatch has done...for years the AMA and special interest groups have been trying to find ways to limit people’s access to bulk vitamins, herbal supplements and even make it more difficult to obtain quite ordinary OneADay/Centrum type daily vitamins...there’s a substantive agenda against people seeking anything therapeutic or alternative health that bypasses the medical establishment. Orrin Hatch was the front man that kept the doctors from making criminals out of us for taking care of our health, and I hope that after him others will take up the slack.
Michelle malkin is the fiercest attack dog I’ve ever seen and usually I like her style.
She does not convince me on this one, I think the effort to replace Hatch is a stab in the back to a reliably conservative senator. I’ve never seen him to be other than a pasionate conservative.
Didn’t Hatch help Justice Thomas become Justice Thomas? After that; somehow I think he got lost.
Obviously they're just RINOs and Malkin is a true conservative.
The Tea Party was mighty in it’s youth until politicians glommed onto it.
That is how you take the wind out of it’s sails.
The Tea Party was started as grassroots. Average citizens from all stripes coming together to lean on politicians for their treachery, fight large expansive Government, and get back to the Constitution.
The politicians have weakened it.
She still owes 'birthers' an apology for her horrible article she wrote attacking all of us and comparing us to Truthers.
Hey Palinisa’s! How’s that Hatch endorsement working out for you guys?
“I emphasized that the grass-roots activists leading the Tea Party charge have been as opposed to Big Government Republicans as they have to Big Government Democrats.”
So where were they when Medicare Part D came around?
