I have a new nickname for this putz:

Orrin "Shut Your" Hatch

[Lunatic Fringe]

Breaking news?

[Libertina]

What on earth is up with Hatch?

Hatch is being a clymer says Jame Clymer.

Considering Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't running for Governor of California, he doesn't deserve to be President. I'm opposed to messing around with the Constitution if we don't have to.

"Since United States Senator Orrin Hatch, a faithful Mormon, announced his candidacy for the office of President of the United States there has been growing interest in how he views the U.S. Constitution and one of Joseph Smith’s little known prophecies. In the Salt Lake Tribune, Nov. 11, 1999, there was an article titled, "Did Hatch Allude To LDS Prophecy?" The article stated:

Sen. Orrin Hatch has denied his Republican presidential campaign is motivated by a longing to fulfill an obscure Mormon myth. But during an interview with a Mormon Church-owned radio station this week he borrowed the exact phrasing of the apocalyptic belief.

According to the so-called "White Horse Prophecy," the U.S. Constitution will be hanging by a thread and a church elder from Zion will ride in on a metaphorical white horse and save it."

Irrational rant.

Bob Hope couldn't be President

John Walker Lindh could be President.

the nation's third largest political party

Why are they bigger than the LP, not that it really matters at all...

Hmmm - this would allow the job to be outsourced. Every four years, Congress would contract with ExecuTemps Corp to hire a new President every quarter from the current lowest-bidding Third World country. Salary would be $10K per quarter.

I say go the other way. Second generation at least. First generation can still have some quirks passed on by the parents. By the second, they are all American, no matter what their parents try to teach. JMHO.

"So, one must wonder, is the GOP so hard up for decent candidates for public office that they have to begin importing them?"

Since when has the GOP had an imported candidate running for president? Seems to me, with the ACLU, NAALCP, NOW, etc., the dims are the party more likely to have an imported candidate for president.

Presidents have to be elected. A foreign power can't simply shove someone into the Presidency.

[joesnuffy]

we must allow the foreign born to become our el presidente del norte
that way Fox or Schwartzenegger or Gorby or even Pooty Poot could be our president..
or even one of the Moors
