Orrin Hatch on the senate floor right now being ridiculous.

[AlCzervik]

and almost hopping up and down ala Ted Stevens. Hatch looks like he just stepped out of a victorian painting of a wealthy family and he's the heir thats never done an honest days work in his life.

[SharonRB]

1. I'm listening

I just want to scream!

[AlCzervik]

2. do you think he has a clue how absurd he is?

[SharonRB]

24. Of course he doesn't.

[MnFats]

3. give the cubicle rats some details!!

give us some quotes!!

[AlCzervik]

8. in a nut shell he thinks the resolution will get more troops killed and that we will

look weak. Really it's his "gesticulations" along with his chickenhawky lack of service that makes Orrin Hatch's military stragteegery as about as legitimate as me giving a symposium on rocket science.

[solara]

4. What's Hatch sayin'? nt

[AlCzervik]

10. oh the modertates "are pulling for us" to win, we can't let them down.

[kirby]

5. He disgusts me

He doesn't let facts get in the way. Linked 9/11 to Iraq several times. Blames Democrats for undermining Patreus. Claims children in Iraq are now able to be educated and have health care unlike under Saddam.

'Show us how you will prevent the terrorists from coming here'.

'We've got moderate Arabs in that part of the world pulling for us because they know they are next'

This guy is one of the worst...

[Roland99]

9. What children in Iraq? Those of the millions who have fled? Or perhaps he means...

the countless # of girls who've been kidnapped on their way to school in Taliban-esque southern Iraq.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

Yeah. Too bad we don't have a congress that will guarantee health care to our kids,

and I don't think americans voted for a bloody costly war in order to get Iraqi children educated.

[kirby]

15. In a very real sense

this is more important than Hitler.'

'We should not decide this thing on polls that can be manipulated to say whatever you want them to say.'

'We are not here to respond to polls, we are here to do whatever is in the best interest of the country'

'Isreal itself will be threatend like never before. If we leave there will be a holocaust'

[Webster Green]

6. He has repeatedly said: "The truth of the matter is..."

...only to follow that assertion with a pack of lies.

He is a complete idiot!

[gratuitous]

7. Gee, Mr. Hatch

You were running an important committee in the Senate for five years during the time these abuses were taking place. How many hearings did you convene? None? Well, that's about as much credence, then, that I would give to your self-righteous ranting now -- none.

[AlCzervik]

11. oh dear, he's almost in tears right now. "Terrorists in our country today to destroy us"

[Divine Discontent]

22. oh, good heavens... someone please check him in! n/t

[AlCzervik]

12. ok after he says there are terrorists in this country that want to destroy us

he's now saying "we haven't had a major terrorist attack in this country since 9/11" alright then.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

13. I don't think I can watch this

:puke:

[AlCzervik]

14. oh come on! Now he's talking about Hitler!!

[AlCzervik]

16. "This resolution undermines everything we're doing over there" now trashing

2008 presidential candidates about changing their positions "because of the polls" Uh-oh invoking Israel and claiming there will be a holocaust in the ME.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

17. Dodd to the rescue!

"When is the President going to realize that Iraq is a failure?"

:)

[AlCzervik]

18. thank goodness, a voice of reason.

[malaise]

19. I pressed mute a while ago

I will not waste time listening to him. I'm watching Chris Dodd now.

Add.

[Elwood P Dowd]

20. They keep regurgitating the same talking points over and over

That's all the repukes can do. When are they going to pass out some new ones?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

21. So, should the Oscar go to Warin' Orin,

or to the parents of the dead and injured soldiers and thousands of Iraqi's who are crying REAL tears?

[AlCzervik]

23. Now Mel Martinez is a general all of a sudden.
