FWIW. Interesting reading.

[Timber Rattler]

Of interest...

Sarah,

Hatch is an irascible old fart and it's time for him to go.
NO ONE is irreplaceable

That so-called “warrior” leaked HIGHLY classified information during the GWB invasion of Iraq.

Some of us remember.

Nice try but you are on the wrong side of real change again. Just like with McQueeg

[Servant of the Cross]

And Sarah is not alone among conservatives on this ...

Mark Levin’s full explanation of why he supports Orrin Hatch for US Senate

Clearly, Senator Hatch is light years better than deposed Sen. Dick lugar ...

[mkjessup]

Oh this really sounds like Tea Party values, Sarah is supporting the RINO POS that wrote and sang songs and idolized the traitor Fat Teddy Kennedy.

But WTH, she’s never going to run for elective office again, bet the rent.

[advertising guy]

read the post above ya...HATCH will save the judge issues

[mkjessup]

Clearly, Senator Hatch is light years better than deposed Sen. Dick lugar ...

This has nothing to do with Lugar. It has everything to do with a fake conservative like Hatch and his long association with the antithesis of everything conservative (aka the DFT, 'Dead Fat Teddy'), but hey: don't take my word for it, listen for yourselves:

"Tribute to the Life of Ted Kennedy" by Orrin Hatch:

your tagline says it all ...

[mkjessup]

HATCH will save the judge issues

Uh huh. No matter who wins the election in November we can look forward to liberals being nominated to the SCOTUS and to other federal judiciary positions, because we KNOW that 0bama is going to do that, and in case you didn't get the memo, Mitt-Witt's record so far as appointing judges while Governor of Massachusetts is damn near as disgusting as 0bama. So save that 'judge' talking point, because that dog won't hunt.

[hrh40]

How about a fake conservative like Dan Lillywhoever?

It matters who we replace people with.

Dan is not better than Hatch.

Change for change’s sake is not always wise.

Anyone remember hope and change?

sadly, you have a terminal case of dumbass

we’ll pray

[Servant of the Cross]

a couple of other youtube videos to view ... but don't take my word for it ...

Clarence Thomas hearings - Part I

Clarence Thomas hearings - Part II

[RitaOK]

So, with Sarah being wounded and brutalized by the media Left, without a powerful mentor anywhere in sight, and Hatch being a both ways kind of guy who has cost conservatives dearly, done nothing conservative by himself or single handed, but play the influence peddler, the old boy knows who he can play now. Scared out of his beejeebies, early and often by the Tea Party, set for a loss to a solid conservative, Hatch knows how to run a reverse play and goes straight for the top, with charm balm.

It worked. Again.

It’s a good match, politically, and both get a lot from the other at no political cost.

[mkjessup]

Hatch is part of the problem, and that is why Hatch needs to go. If Dan Liljenquist (note how to spell his name for future reference) fails to measure up, then he can be subjected to a primary challenge as well.

The career politicians spending their whole damn life in the House or Senate are one of the many reasons why America is in the mess it’s in. We need to clean the worst offenders out.

Palin is the toughest warrior on the right.

I am amazed at the effect she has on people and how she has managed to move the country right since her debut in 2008.

[Servant of the Cross]

and Hatch has ... done nothing conservative by himself ...

See post #4. Mark Levin disagrees with you, with concrete evidence.

... both get a lot from the other at no political cost ...

As one who has accurately portrayed Gov. Perry getting unfair criticism, you readily dish it on his friend Gov. Palin?

[mkjessup]

sadly, you have a terminal case of dumbass

Sadly, you are obviously unable to recognize reality when it comes to the judge nominating history of Mitt-Witt, but you go ahead and pray.

Are you praying to the real God, or to that fictitious Mormon joker?

[drypowder]

Orin Hatch pushed the conformation of Ruth B. Ginsberg for the Supreme Court. She admittedly has abject disdain for our constitution. What the hell is Sarah Palin thinking by endorsing this RINO POS? Sadly, Sarah now dwells in the realm of no confidence with regards to her post pro constitutional patriotism.

[rurgan]

To Sarah Palin
Sarah,

Who cares about Hatch. Just run and save us, America that is, would you?

thanks :-)

P.S.
It seems like many on here would vote for Obama over Sarah Palin. Many are doing the big mainstream media's work here.

[mkjessup]

Rita, you’re casting your pearls before swine. Sarah could have had the GOP nomination for the asking, but she chose the path of media celebrity instead, and she HAS given her support to conservative candidates for which I (and every conservative) appreciate. However Orrin Hatch is just one more RINO in a pack of career political hacks and he has long outlived his usefulness so far as true conservative values.

It doesn’t matter what he may or may not have done 20 or more years ago, it’s what he’s done lately and that ain’t much.

He needs to retire. Or BE retired, doesn’t matter which one.
