Orrin Hatch must win reelection by 70 percent

[Randypiper]

Otherwise he's not doing what‘s right for the American people.

I despise this weasel.

1. I feel even stupider than usual now

I watched his eulogy to his best friend Ted Kennedy and was so impressed, it was beautiful. And in my complete innocence and naivete I actually thought, as a tribute to his friend, he would relent and work towards humane heathcare reform.

How stupid can someone be?

2. Don't feel stupid, Jackeens. It's very hard for decent people to

fathom the insincerity, dishonesty and hypocrisy of Republicans.

[Jackeens]

3. It's a lesson learnt for me alsame, the hypocrisy is just breathtaking.

:hi:

4. I hope the ghost of Teddy comes into Orrin's office & sticks the tip of his necktie in the shredder.

And then, messes up his desk 'n' shit.

5. Please...don't insult weasels, OK?

I know of no such creature of nature that is as low as Whorin Hatch.

JMHO

6. Unfortunately, he probably will...

If not 75%.

7. And Ben Nelson must win reelection by 65%!

For the same reason.

8. In Utah, that's roughly the percentage a Republican candidate is guaranteed in a statewide election.

9. Especially if he's a Mormon Elder.

Kinda like the odds; he'll win if he has a pulse.

[Umbral]

13. He'd win without a pulse - on the off chance God would see fit to raise him from the dead. nt

11. Hah! That's good.

12. He's in Utah, so I'm sure he will

Orson Scott Card would become a Democrat before that fact would change.
