Hatch was two men.
He had a really high conservative rating in his votes.
But he was a moral squish and a big-government compromiser in his walking-around time. When he started doing tonsil hockey with Ted Kennedy, it was a signal of his moral journey.
“””He had a really high conservative rating in his votes.”””
As Reagan used to say: “You are entitled to your own opinion, but not to your own set of facts”
I suggest you check out Hatch’s really low conservative rating at Heritage Action where Hatch gets a 33% rating.
