Sure he’s a RINO but finally someone is saying the obvious.

This is a sinister approach to politics that’s going to get a natural Democratic party constituency of 60% of the people who basically depend upon government for everything and that means they’re going to vote Democratic,” Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) said.

    Oh, Jesus, at least we know that people who depend on others for their life will not move out of their front doors unless someone comes and gets them.

      … and this morning’s Washington Post gleefully predicts the Dems will have another natural constituency as Latinos gain strength and numbers, irritated at the GOP stance on illegal immigration.

      What a world.

    Orrin Hatch is right. The Asses want the unemployed to all vote for them. They actually think this will work. I personally believe that enough poeople this time are aware enough to not fall for this. I also believe that most of the unemployed now actually want jobs that pay more that unemployment benefits. Its that tricky little American thing called pride that flares up every 15 years or so. Haha.

    BTW, on the scale of RINOs (and maybe I havent seen enough of his votes over the years) Hatch always seemed one of the lesser ones. Brown, Snowe, Collins, Graham (a blanking idiot), and McCain are the big ones. Hatch is a RINO on the level of George W. Bush: one where he was conservative about 75% of the time, but never went against Bush when Bush was right.

    What John Edwards said is true, but not quite the way he meant it. We’re building a society in which there are indeed two Americas: Those that work for a living, and those that vote for a living.

    Let me see: government gives almost two years of unemployment benefits plus soon free health care. Sounds better than having a real job! Where do I sign up? Oh yes, by voting Democrat.

    Disgusting.

    Hatch was with Glenn Beck over the weekend. Maybe he gave him a kick in the butt. He has been doing pretty good lately.

    Hatch is rather late to the party. We’ve figured out the “handouts-for-votes” deal a long time ago. This would change in a New York minute if we disenfranchised those who don’t pay taxes. I belong to a couple of organizations that don’t allow visitors to vote at meetings…one has to pay dues for that privilege.

    i startlingly got back the check i sent the irs this year. they assure me they are correct- i did not do my taxes right for the first time, ever . i always owe a tiny bit of money by design. despite their voodoo economics tax system, i won’t vote for them. there is nothing on earth these morons could give me to make me vote for them. and that includes, barry, calling me a racist and sending out moral and intellectual morons to threaten me at the polls .

    regular people who have worked hard their whole lives, the soul of our republic, are not so easily fooled. they know it’s not bush’s fault. they know this government is standing in the way of everyone’s prosperity. marxists have nothing but contempt for the workers and think they’re all stupid, easily herded cows who merely have to have objects of blame defined for them from above in order to be manipulated into their place. just because politicians are cynical greedy self absorbed fu@#s who’d off their own mothers, their own country for a few bills doesn’t mean the bulk of americans are the same.

    that said i do not object as much to extending unemployment- fueled basically with the aiding and abetting of this congress and this tool of a president. i’d rather the tax payers be bailed out directly rather than the corporate welfare troughs and the failed social welfare boondoggles government lavishes our money upon with their bail outs and take overs, pork barrel spending – bridges to nowhere, millions of dollars of signage to prove the Porkulous worked. how about de-fund acorn and stop propping up fannie mae and freddie mac, repeal obamacare, repeal the financial take over- stop pissing our money away in all the rest of their lobbyist propelled , ignoramus penned schemes that history has proven will not work .

    There are very few Senators that are honest and Orrin Hatch is one of the honest ones.

    How I wish some interviewer would ask Obama about the lessons taught by Reaganomics, and the inferences the Laffer curve pose in regard to his own economic policies so far.

  12. eMVeeH says:

    Then, Mr. Hatch, don’t let the Country-Club wing of your party, represented by moral idiots like Trent Lott, try to ruin the movement that is producing real and independent conservative candidates; not the “Nanny-State” enablers. Lott wants to “co-opt” winning Tea Party candidates “as soon as they get here[to Washington].” Why, you can’t have Independent Conservatives running around the Belt Way, now. Can you?

    BTW Mr. Lott is a lobbyist, now. Hey wasn’t the godling supposed to get rid of them? ‘Guess Obama’s not as divine as he believes himself to be.
