The GOP's Orrin Hatch Problem

Did the 2014 midterms really happen? Less than three months after a red tide rolled over the country, the Senate Republican Rollover Caucus is back to its default position in Washington, D.C.: Hands up, bow down.

People losing faith with elected officials? Imagine that!

Once in a while, reality manages to sink in, getting around all the bullshit propaganda - except in the more clueless individuals of course.

Orrin is a worthless, bought & paid for, piece of trash, establishment man. He can be counted on to toe the K street line against the people on every vote. There is no violation of the bill of rights to empower the security state that he would not gladly support. Bennett was just as bad. Thank the Almighty for Sen. Mike Lee.

Republicans plan on bending over for the next two years in order to convince they need more senate seats and the white house to do ANYTHING. Folks tire of both "parties" playing to lose in order to play the victim so they can play for the next election - avoiding all responsibility along the way (while they enrich themselves along the way).

George Washington warned us about political factions.
I say again, still, maybe we ought to try listening rather than trying it again just one more election and then just one more election....

Many fail to realize that our founders set it up so that it would get harder and harder for fedgov to inject itself as the population grew - as THEY set it up, the HOUSE would have roughly 7000 members today. Controllers SAW how hard it would be to pass ANYTHING down the road attempting to get THAT MANY to agree upon spending and taxation so they "capped" house size. Gerrymandering and political faction control began thusly.

Today, legislation gets longer and longer and longer as a means of getting around that three page document that crafted government itself. Sad it is. Sadder yet that Americans just take it.

Passing bills was supposed to be SIMPLE - indeed the bills themselves were supposed to be simple ... Which is why they are to be READ three different times OUT LOUD ON THE FLOOR!!! See, the POWERS delegated via the Constitution were FEW, so simply put.... There isn't that many things fedgov was supposed to be doing in the first place.

Theron thing it SHOULD be doing is HAMMERING each state that is violating the rights of CITIZENS! Remember, ALL governments are instituted among to SECURE the blessings of Liberty. Orrin Hatch? Hardly. He's a controller just like OBAMA. Yet fools keep thinking that a (R) makes some kind of difference.

Yeah, don't forget to send them all a bar of soap...

They seem to want to need it as the vast majority of them are 'ho's.

FSHB,
You're right. Hatch is an embarrassment to the state of Utah.
Too bad he's stepping down (he IS stepping down? right?), otherwise I'd LOVE to see him defeated with the same slogan that he used against the then-incumbent Frank Moss to initially get into office 36 years ago, "What do you call a senator who's been in office 18 years? You call him home."

And seeing "mr entitled" Robert Bennett get the boot through the caucus process, and his ensuing temper tantrum, was a delight to behold.
