Doggone Offended? Now How Does Hatch Feel?





He slobbered over corruptocrat Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd.

Next up Richard Lugar.


  1. The sooner we dump weasels like Hatch, the better.

  2. In a safe seat like Utah..this is a good thing. However, we should remember the lessons learned 2 years ago in Alaska, Nevada and Delaware. We threw 3 good Republicans under the bus for 3 "I woke up yesterday, and thought I could get elected by joining the Tea Party train' Republicans.

    What did we get, a rino and 2 Dems.

    Hatch's seat will go Republican, and Liljenquist is better than Hatch, as he has a legit record. However, is there any doubt, in anybody's mind, that as the Party moves right, Hatch wouldn't move with it. How exactly does Hatch constitute a threat to New Republicanism? Would there be any bill in the next Senate the party supports that Hatch won't?

    Anyway, having a party of perfect 10's would be great..however it would be a small party. There are plenty of great 7's, 8's and 9' out there, and if we make them our enemy, and they have nowhere else to go but to the left...we will doom ourselves to failure.

    You can only advance an agenda by winning elections, and to win elections consistently, you must hold a consistent majority. The Tea Party is not a majority, much less a consistent one, and there is no real evidence given the political history of the world that it ever can be. Even in our Founding, the Fathers, the Revolution and the Constitution did not hold a clear majority among the colonists.

    To win consistently, we need the Orrin Hatch's of the world on our side, and we should be very careful about when we leave them behind. In this particular case, it makes sense as Liljenquist is a better choice, but 1n 2010, they weren't, and we were beat.

  3. KT, agreed.
    Steve, you should check out Right Klik's take on the issue, at the Left Coast Rebel blog. He is basically agreeing with your position and has some data from Nate Silver top back up this position.
