Hatch's response re: BOLTON

[UTdem]

Every letter I write I get one back that defends his backward position. Here's the latest regarding Bolton's UN nomination. Enjoy. (emphasis is mine)

Dear UTDem,

Thank you for your correspondence in which you express your opposition to the nomination of John Bolton as Ambassador to the UN. I appreciate hearing from you and welcome this opportunity to respond.

Though I appreciate hearing your concerns, it appears that we disagree on this issue. I believe that John Bolton has a proven track record of efficacy in diplomacy and the promotion of US interests world-wide. While it is true that he has made critical statements about the UN body in the past, his NO-NONSENSE and STRAIGHTFORWARD approach will be beneficial to a body that is increasingly in the news for HYPOCRISY and CORRUPTION. I intend to support his nomination if brought before me in the full Senate.

May I add that there are two good examples of past UN Ambassadors to the UN-one a Republican, Amb. Jean Kirkpatrick, and one a Democrat, Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan-who went to Turtle Bay as "critics;" both did a commendable job as ambassadors.

Though we disagree on this issue, please continue to provide me with your comments and concerns so that i can best represent you here in the Senate.

Sincerely,
Senator O.G. Hatch

WTF? Talk about hypocrisy & corruption? I look forward to the reply I get over the Real ID issue. That should be fun too.

1. Hatch is on the kool-aid.

Just watched him this morning on C-SPAN spouting crap on filibusters.

Keep up the good work. Let him hear from the folks he's supposed to represent.


and welcome to DU :hi:

2. Hatch wants to be the Supreme Court nominee

when Rehnquist steps down. Mark my words. I remember hearing this years ago, and I think it is true. It's a shame he is such a dumbass: "Utah loves the Hispanics!!!"

[whistle]

3. Neither Amb. Jean Kirkpatrick nor Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan...

...were nominated based on their preconceived hatred to the U.N. and vocal desire to dismantle and destroy the body if it failed to concur with U.S. Imperial objectives. Looks like Orin Hatch has fully conceded to the powers of darkness.

Hey that sounds like the exact same letter he sent me!!! Imagine that. You should read the one he sent me back in reply about the filibusters, that's another doozy. Nice to know there is another few democrats in Utah besides me.
