Oh Torie, come on.

Hatch is nothing but a whore. He is as without core beliefs as John Kerry. The fact that he is a Republican is for nothing but expediency. If it took him becoming a Democrat to keep his power, he would do so. The Democrats own Hatch like a rat in a cage. You cannot leave personalities out of this, as Hatch has been a consistent enemy to Conservative progress. He is a member of the do-nothing-so-we-can-maintain-friendships old-boy network for years.

I am sure you would be happier with a Democrat Congress.

If it weren't for the derided "RINO-s" (justified or unjustified name calling), the Dems would have a majority in the Senate.

[Torie]

I don't think your opinion is "fair and balanced." Did you listen to Hatch when he was blasting Dems for filibustering judicial nominees, and viewed it as unprecedented and toxic? I think the man has his own loadstar, and it is a principled one. As I say, he sometimes fails in his judgments. Only I get all the judgments right, except when I don't. And there you have it.

You are absolutely right! I used to think he had some backbone but not anymore.
