How does a moran like Orrin Hatch keep getting elected?
Edited on Wed Jun-28-06 12:21 PM by CatWoman
Yesterday he was all orgasmic over the "lock" he had on the votes for the flag burning amendment. I saw him on Washington Journal and he could barely contain his glee.

They come up one vote short, and all he keeps doing is bitch and moan about this "severely important" issue.

Hey, Orrin - buy a fucking clue.

It's "severely important" to imbiciles like you.

The rest of the country is trying to survive your party's idiotic policies and backwards ideas.

What the hell is it to you anyway, Orrin? Most of those flags are made in China, anyway.

3. His ability to continue to get elected says more about the
voters in Utah than any thing else. Mass tunnel vision.

10. If the voting constituency in America only knew what the Republican
Part was up to, the Pubs would be disqualified as a bona fide political party.

9. He panders to the self-righteous and brings home the bacon.
Utah is filled to overflowing with people "better than the rest of us." Just ask them. :shrug:

14. I'm sorry...
I live in Utah, and cannot apologize enough for my state foisting this atrocity upon the nation. I am not in his district, so I don't even get the pleasure of voting against him. Anyway, if Hitler had been a Republican, the Mor(m)ons in this state would have voted for him.

15. Hatch has been trying to get his fingerprints on the Constitution...
for decades. How many times has he authored or supported an amendment? I've lost count. It's some kind of obsession with him. The mormons think the Constitution is some sort of holy writ, penned by the finger of god manifesting its self on earth, so of course Hatch is right there trying to legislate a rewrite.

19. I lived in Utah, too
Edited on Wed Jun-28-06 01:19 PM by newspeak
I believe Hatch is a misogynist. For his performance at the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill hearing and his casual comments of Arnie's groping and assaulting habits, he must blame the women for inciting the depraved actions of the pure, sainted hallowed men. If the creator gives him a planet in the afterlife, he can name it Mordor and maybe those he has defended can join him on it.
