Orrin Hatch (R or D? - UT)

Orrin Hatch is very disappointing. Very disappointing as the supposed king of conservative values and a senior Republican in the Senate.

First it was the 'Yes' vote on the first bailout.

Then it was a 'Present' vote on Hillary's nomination for the Sec of State. He did this because his good buddy Ted Kennedy (D-MA) was in the hospital and couldn't vote. Moral Orrin decided that it wouldn't be fair and told reporters that if Teddy was there their votes would cancel out. You think Kennedy would have done that if you weren't there Senator Hatch? No, Orrin, they are not laughing with you, they are laughing at you.

Then came the 'Yes' vote on Treasury Sec. Tim Geithner. You know, the guy who can't, and refuses, to do his own taxes? Orrin ignored my important telephone call last week to vote NO on Geithner. The wrath of Greg will fall upon you now Uncle Orrin.

Today it was a 'Yes' on Eric Holder, the Attorney General nominee. Good bye Second Amendment, hello terrorism. We will now commence becoming a nation of sissies and special interests.

Orrin is rolling over for the Obama administration. Hey Orrin! Bipartisanship goes BOTH ways. It does not mean a Republican crossing the aisle to vote the same as all of the Democrats all of the time, the Democrats have to actually cross the aisle and vote for Republican sponsered ideas as well. John McCain gets that one wrong all of the time. The media will call it bipartisan when the Republican votes with the Democrats but they call it cowardice and treason when the Democrat does.

Go sit on the other side of the aisle Orrin, you have chosen your path. And it will not lead to re-election here in Utah. We want somebody who does what they say and not only in an election year.
