RINO Number 9: Orrin Hatch

For the Utah transplant, Orrin Hatch, who built his retirement out of taxpayer pockets:

Don’t let the door hit your backside on the way out. 

Take a look at Hatch’s Freedom Works Scorecard (only covers from 2005) to see how and when he chooses to be an alleged Republican. Of course, FreedomWorks, Conservative Review, and Heritage Action do not monitor the same bills so you really have to study each scorecard to see how and when he votes for a Republican vs Progressive agenda. (Note his 25% votes in 2007.)

The worst thing Orrin G. Hatch did, in 2017, was to not stand up for or with Senator Mike Lee when Mike stood his ground for the American people on HealthCare, quote:

“I don’t see him looking for a path to yes. It seems like he’s against everything right now,” said Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah). “That’s the way it looks to me. 

In my opinion, Hatch exposed himself as an arrogant sellout employing that which seemed like sophistry to discredit Mike Lee. Hatch will always and forever pale in comparison to the indomitable statesman, Senator Mike Lee.

Orrin G. Hatch will, no doubt, relish in the accolades and praise from other RINO’s and progressives from his forty years reign in living out of taxpayer pockets. And no doubt, Mike Lee will be far more gracious towards Hatch in this retirement phase than Hatch deserves as an esteemed colleague.

The Candidate: Scrutinize every Military Veteran and ask tough, pointed questions

There is no need to get all excited about a Military Veteran running for office if she or he has not been thoroughly vetted. Having served in the Military does not mean a person is a good candidate. Questions must be asked of and answered by the candidate in order to fully understand the type of candidate she or he will be. 

Here is one question:

Where, exactly, does the Military Vet Candidate rate in political ideology compared to these Top 25 Conservatives currently serving today vs. the Top 25 RINO’s in office? 

Membership of the 115th Congress: A Profile

Excerpt from page 8: 

Military Service

At the beginning of the 115th Congress, there were 102 Members (18.8% of the total membership) who had served or were serving in the military….. According to lists compiled by CQ, the House currently has 82 veterans (including 2 female Members, as well as 1 Delegate); the Senate has 20 veterans, including 2 women.26 These Members served in the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, and combat or peacekeeping missions in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kosovo, as well as during times of peace. Nine House Members and one Senator are still serving in the reserves, and six House Members are still serving in the National Guard. All of the female veterans are combat veterans.

Here is a list of Veterans currently serving in the House (115th). I do not have time find a list of and link the Senate Veteran members. All links to the House members below are from the Conservative Review Liberty Scorecard as of today, October 26, 2017. 

Remember: Do your homework, especially when a celebrity Veteran endorses a veteran candidate and you have not vetted said celebrity’s political philosophy.
