Someone, please stop Orrin Hatch. Please. Hurry.
First, GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch embraces Eric Holder.
Then, he extols tax-dodger Tim Geithner’s “competence.”
Now, this, via Politico, Hatch pays tribute to Joe Biden’s manhood:
Hatch, a devout Morman not prone to profanity, quoted historian Richard Ben Cramer who once wrote that the Delaware Democrat has “a breathtaking element of balls … Joe Biden had balls. … He did what he wanted to do and he did it.”
Please, make him stop.
I guess I should be thankful he didn’t sing the praises of Hillary’s bosom or backside.

If biden has them, he is the only one in dc that does.
L
He’s senile. Retire him.
I guess Hatch gave his to Biden.
There was I time I did admire Senator Orrin Hatch: well spoken, willing to listen, friendly. But he too has become one more Beltway Cartoon Character-he has sold his soul for the 30 pieces of silver of power and prestige.
He is without honor, Utah’s answer to McCain and Graham.
The trait of Biden that has been mistaken for “balls”…. is actually stupidity.
I just thought I’d clear that up.
Smirky: “I know as much or more than Cheney. I’m the most experienced vice president since anybody.”
When he gets on an Acela, does he have to buy an extra seat for his ego, or do they just reserve a car for him.
The guy is losing it. RINO on the loose.
Commentary on that which he will never possess.
as is most of congress with few exception…
Hatch is just one more reason we are in this messed up situation today. Also, I heard today that Slow Joe defended his insane (but comical)comments about FDR going on television as President in 1929 by saying that there is a YouTube clip of it but the L.A. Times has it and won’t release it.
Tee hee!
Unfortunately, balls are a poor replacement for brains.
He used to be really good. sigh.
I’m not sure how that transaction took place. I’m not sure I want to know, either.
In my grandparent’s days, folks paid a premium for the acquisition of “truth.” Now folks trade “truth” around like a cheap commodity.
Proverbs 23:23 (KJV) reads, “Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.”
How can we fight for what is right and virtuous when nearly none of our elected representatives care about anything further out than their own power-grabbing hands?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
What about Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt? Biden is more experienced than them?
Since when does a do-nothing Senator from Dela-NO-where become “the most experienced VP?” Cut me some slack! The moron media are lapping this excrement up.
Let’s assume that Mr. Hatch is correct. It’s like my wife likes to say: “Q: why do doctors spank babies when they’re born? A: to knock the nuts off the smart ones.”
*out*
Hatch is old school Senate. He generally votes conservative, hence his ACU rating, but he is a firm believer in Senate “collegiality” – never criticize another Senator or anybody else in front of his committee. He is also a firm believer that each President is entitled to his appointees, no matter what.
Hatch does what is good for Hatch, and/or Utah. Always has, always will. If he is cozying up Democrats then there is a reason for it. But that doesn’t mean the reason is a good one for anyone but Hatch.
Experienced at what?
At being V.P.? NO.
At being an incide the beltway self absorbed narcissistic politician? YES.
Let him have it you know where:
http://hatch.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Offices.Contact
Or her balls.
Orin Hatch seems to have passed the point where he ceases to be a representative of the people who elected him, and instead becomes someone who defends himself and his fellow members in the senatorial club from questions and challenges by those very same people.
Yeah. Term limits term limits term limits. Hatch used to have some spunk before he got all cozy with the beltway elite.
…in the testicular lock box.
I lost any respect for Senator Hatch once he started “pal”-ing around with Ted Kennedy.
term limits.
Orrin’s been out of Utah for so long he doesn’t remember much about his truly conservative constituents. Before that, he was a good ol’ Pittsburgh lawyer. He suffers from trying to see the best in everyone — even when there’s nothing there. Hence, Kennedy, Biden, you name it.
Great. He doesn’t have to kiss their ass along the way, though. A serious, objective line of questioning hurts no one.
I think he meant mothballs.
He didn’t get his appointment to the Supreme court of the United States from a Republican President, so is he now trying to gain favor with the Democrats so that he can get it? His logic, if this is what it is, reminds me of the ex-Senator from Tennessee, Sasser, the Whiner, remember (“You can’t do this to me! I was supposed to be the next Majority Leader!”)? Yeah, why haven’t the Dem’s brought him back? Oh, yeah, not a Clintonian!
This, coming from a man who has shown none…Pathetic.
TERM LIMITS
TERM LIMITS
TERM LIMITS!!!
Hatch is an idiot. All you Utahns read this well: Hatch is a reflection on the State of Utah.
Did Hatch say it with the proper Indian accent?
As a devout Mormon myself, he embarrasses me. Heck, we teach our kids that quoting someone else just so you can use profanity is still using profanity. Now we have to teach our senators too?
And we wonder where Larry Craig started…?
There are times when there is no substitute for “balls”, “guts”, whatever you wish to call it. Most other times – BRAINS and COMMON SENSE are what carries the day.
Neither Biden or Hatch have either.
Time to go, Orrin.
I think he’s getting senile. All of this is very out of character for him.
Sheeesh.
And Flimsey Grahamnesty is, unfortunately, a reflection on the state of South Carolina. I know I keep saying this, but THANK GOD for Jim DeMint!
Waterboarding is not torture.
Hearing Orrin Hatch sing a country song that he wrote…..is.
That is what you get when you elect people who belong to cults started by convicted con artists
the one glaring error in the Constitution!!
Michelle, do you mean Vichy Republican Orrin Hatch?
Hatch just needs to go away quietly.
OMU says you’re needed on the Religious Tolerance thread.
What’s a Morman? (Spellcheck on aisle 3!)
From Wikipedia: “In 1976 in [Hatch's] first run for public office, he was elected to the United States Senate, defeating Democrat Frank Moss, a three-term incumbent. Among other issues, Hatch criticized Moss’s 18-year tenure in the Senate, saying that many Senators, including Moss, had lost touch with their constituents.”
Bwuhwhahuh? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That’s awesome, some serious
hypocrisycomedy there.Orrin Hatch? Reflect badly on Utah? No way! Have a look at the local politicians. >.<
What’s the difference between Senator Hatch and Senator Reid? The little letter next to their names.
–Swing Shift CEO
PS – Term limits (and flat tax, too)!
Hatch would be less trouble and cause fewer problems if he was a Democrat. Is anyone surprised or wondering why the the Republicans are losing everything? If they can’t support the conservative cause then they should simply shut up and stay out of sight.

I think “breathtaking element of balls” needs to be the new catchphrase. NOW.
I figured it out, I think. The Senate Republicans have come down with Stockholm Syndrome. After being held captive and constantly abused by the media and senate Democrats, they’ve just fallen in love with their captors.

And again… We are calling Orrin Hatch… Orrin Hatch a RINO.
Reagan wouldn’t stand a chance here… He ran up the debt, signed the biggest amnesty in the history of the USA, voted to leagalize abortion when governor of California, Ran from Lebanon… Yeah, you can bet your ass he would be picked apart here as a RINO.
100% conservative voting record evidently doesn’t count for squat.

Meh. I’ve always been conflicted about Sen. Hatch. I liked his tough anti-Microsoft stance, but then he went and gave us the DMCA.
‘Course, now that I’ve moved to California, I can only *dream* about having a senator as good as Hatch…
Despite the best efforts of people like Bill Grant, the GOP will never be the party of docile, mindless obedience that the Democrat party is.
You mean Cult Tolerance, right ?
A Nuthatch.

Heh, not that that was what I was after but I guess that means that the democrats will be in charge for a while until we eliminate this whole pesky democracy thing. Is it working all to plan sock-puppety?
So when are you going to answer the question?
I’m playing a variation of that fun old party game, “How do you keep an idiot in suspense.”
On January 15th, 2009 at 6:22 pm, Socky said:
I would bet that all it would take with you is a mirror or something shiny.
Having a laugh at how easy it is to split the opposition? I can see it now: “I even used the name “socky”… heh.
John McCain positions himself as Obama’s ‘secret weapon’ in the senate. So, if McCain does become Obama’s most staunch ally in the senate, as seems likely, is he the one betraying the GOP, or are those who will criticize him for helping the Democrats traitors to the GOP?
Remember – according to Bill Grant McCain already supports Obama because McCain has criticized other Republicans!!
I’m picturing one of those androids from the old Star Trek having a meltdown. “Those who criticize McCain are traitors for helping Obama… but now McCain helps Obama… McCain is a traitor… but those who criticize McCain are also traitors… but traitors help Obama and McCain helps Obama… but … help McCain… help Obama…” ….ssszszszszst … crackle … smoke … pop.
Hatch is very likely a Jack Mormon.
And if he doesn’t?
LOL…Lets assume that he does “become Obama’s most staunch ally”…an idea that you have dutifully adopted from someone else as you preach about “docile, mindless obedience”. What do you do there, abandon the party or abandon the man?
Are you the kid with the viking cat and the hot gay loving on his website that was wetting himself on Ace the other day? Is your sock-puppetry a hissy fit over prop 8?

Yet another lie from the proven liar. How needy is that? It seems that you will write anything to get a pat on the head.
Exactly correct with that comparison, Socky. Bill is still sputtering!!
BTW, the TOS episode was “I, Mudd”
And more projection from Bill.
Despite all of Bill’s claims that I’ve lied he’s never been able to prove even a single lie from me.
Standard stuff from Bill. Nothing new here.
It’s quite comical, really. In fairness, while I recognize that in-fighting weakens the party, I resent the use of ‘party unity’ as an all-purpose cudgel against criticism at any time. I also don’t see the point of supporting Republicans if they are not going to provide opposition or alternatives to Democratic socialism. Without bright-line differences between the parties, it becomes a matter of cheering for red ants or black ants.

Just FYI: When you learn a new word like “projection” it is often best not to use it in every other sentence. You are probably best off sticking with the phrases you already know like: “Would you like fries with that”?
That was
almostover 6 months ago you parrot. Your posts are just spam.Here and elsewhere. I can only post a couple of links at a time but you are a proven liar.
As I wrote: “[this] is your equivalent of “I’m rubber you’re glue”; Infantile, lame and done because you crave approval.”
You are so boring at this point, even watching you embarrass yourself has gotten dull.
Socky,
The only reason there’s any infighting in the party is because there are elements in the party selling the party out to the democrats. It’s like Senator McCarthy uncovering Soviet spies in the 1950′s. Remember Venona?
Bill trolls about how often I’ve pointed out that he’s been projecting. You know, if Bill would stop projecting then I wouldn’t say anything more about it.
Bill then takes a post that was proven to be factual and claims it was a lie.
That’s Bill, troll and liar.
On January 15th, 2009 at 7:43 pm, JHSII said:
Yet another idea you had to lift from someone else. At least I haven’t heard this as often as “projection”.
Another false claim from Bill Grant. Maybe Bill could have read post #62 from Socky – that was the post I was responding to. But that would have taken an effort from Bill to stop trolling.
On January 15th, 2009 at 7:59 pm, Socky said:
Glad you like Obama.
Once again, not my objective. (Thanks for trying to re-frame my arguments.) But constant, unfair, counterproductive harranging seems to suit you just fine, eh sock-puppety?
First, people like Orran Hatch are not socialists, or RINO’s. (Indeed, there is nothing more ironic than being called a RINO by someone using the term as an excuse to not support the Republican party… I was called a “Racist” on the left for not wanting Obama and a RINO by, well the left as well. Had you read my previous posts, rather than using your DU approved poop and run approach to debate you might have been able to see that democracy is a numbers game.
So, going to answer the question? Are you having a good laugh at the “Bible thumpers” and raaaacists? We who have defended your right to grow into spoiled brats who think patriotism is for suckers? When are you going to head on back and let them know you “joined the witch hunt”?

Look at the dates, projection boy. Also have a look at all the people who were trashing the Republican Nominee in the name of conservatism before the election who have disappeared from the forum since the defeat.
Hey projection boy; stop posting the same things over and over. At the very least, go nip at someone else’s heels.
Still no proof from Bill that I’ve lied.
Still more trolling from Bill.
Bill then tells me to stop posting the same things over and over. Well, I would do that if Bill would stop trolling, lying, and projecting over and over. If you stop doing those things Bill, then I won’t have any reason to keep pointing them out.
The ball is in your court.
The thing about blind party loyalty is that sooner or later, it leads to, “Yeah, I know that congressman from Florida is a creep, and I know he’s sending mash notes to the pages, but let’s keep this quiet because we’d hate to lose that seat to a Democrat.”
On January 15th, 2009 at 8:49 pm, Socky said:
Get back to me when I have come out in favor of congressmen hitting on pages.
Seriously, we, (if it is we) need to be rebuilding by running effective administrators who wont screw up. (Not too high a bar, supposedly.)
At the moment we are on the canvas, and yes, a lot of it is self inflicted. Holding out for people who can’t be elected in their states or districts or even better; trashing people who have proven to be useful to our (?) cause is just going to keep us on the canvas. Normally I honestly wouldn’t have that much of a problem with it but we (?) are up against a a political machine that is incredibly well run, incredibly effective and is going to be making changes that will fundamentally alter the American way of life. (Obama isn’t carter. Obama is smart, ruthless and has a large cadre of dedicated followers.) We don’t have the luxury of allowing “tough love” to become self abuse and that line is routinely crossed here. We are going to need to rally because immigration, card check, don’t ask/tell are all around the corner, (none of which would have been on the table with the old guy)as well ass many other issues. As are the 2012 elections.
On January 15th, 2009 at 8:37 pm, JHSII said:
Where have I positively compared you to Ronald Reagan?
So you admit that you are posting the same things over and over. (As if there were more proof needed.)
I haven’t lied, you call everything projecting and trolling is latching on to whatever someone else writes and using that as an occasion to make a fool out of yourself. In your case by posting the same thing over and over again. Idiot.
Every time you call me an idiot – as I have explained before.
To repeat myself because Bill can’t bother to remember anything that might get in the way of his trolling:
Liberals called Ronald Reagan an idiot.
Bill calls me an idiot.
See, a favorable comparison.
Then Bill trolls on with his usual nonsense.
On January 15th, 2009 at 9:27 pm, JHSII said:
Nope, That’s just calling you an idiot. Let’s clarify that once and for all.
Nope, that is a lie, idiot.
So, BIll says that liberals never called Reagan an idiot. ooooook. Whatever.
On January 15th, 2009 at 9:46 pm, JHSII said:
Another lie.
Another false claim by Bill that I’ve lied.
If Bill wasn’t saying that liberals never called Reagan an idiot then he has to admit that I was telling truth. He can’t have it both ways.
So where did I state that “liberals never called Reagan an idiot?”
Come up with the quote or that’s another lie to add to your list.
As Bill have never shown that I’ve posted a lie, then it doesn’t matter what I post as he’ll add it to his fantasy list anyway.
I see Bill wants to have it both ways. Nice going, Bill!!
On January 15th, 2009 at 10:14 pm, JHSII said:
So that’s your only defense at this point, deny the glaringly obvious. On this thread alone you stating that I wrote that “liberals never called Reagan an idiot” and that I had “positively compared you” to Ronald Reagan are both lies. Anyone not completely disgusted by yet another thread that you have made unreadable can see that for themselves.
Further you have admitted that you post the same things over and over again. Is this getting you the approval that you seek?
Now I see part of Bill’s problem – I compliment him and he attacks me. Sigh.
On January 15th, 2009 at 10:25 pm, JHSII said:
…and another lie.
Saying “Nice going, Bill!!” isn’t a compliment?
Not in that context. Not that it would matter either.
Bill has another point, that’s two in just a few minutes – possible a new record for him.
It wouldn’t matter what I posted, he would keep trolling.
You are still stuck at zero. Idiot. And again, getting the last word is not a substitute for having anything to say.
Another favorable comparison between me and Ronald Reagan.
Thanks, Bill. You don’t know how much that means to me.
Another lie by the pathological liar and attention whore.
More projection from Bill.
I even complimented him again and he attacked me.
On January 15th, 2009 at 10:55 pm, JHSII said:
The lies keep on coming.
No lies from me. Bill must be talking about himself again.
Let’s see if Bill can take his attacks, lies, and trolling to a second page…
