What Hatch should of said is: “Everyone knows those quotes in the WSJ editorial were not my words but were the words of those guys who wrote the editorial for me.” At least that would be an honest response.

Hatch can borrow what Tina Fey said while channeling the spirit of Sarah Palin: “Don’t distort what I said by quoting me verbatim.”

If there was a something in the law that stated “No subsidies shall be provided to applicants selecting insurance through the federal exchange,” then the cons would have an open and shut case. But no such language was added because it would obviously be ridiculous to put such a self-destructive provision in the law. And saying subsidies will be provided via the exchanges established by “the State” doesn’t rule out also providing provisions through the federal exchange.

Senator Orrin Hatch hates Obamacare!
Of course, back in the 1990s, my Senator-for-Life was one of the original proponents of the Heritage Foundation-written healthcare plan that we now call the Affordable Care Act. Back then, it was the Only Possible Solution. Now that the Democrats have made it law, he regards it as the very embodiment of evil.
Such a turnaround isn’t new for Hatch; the seven-term Senator originally ran for office in 1976 by claiming that his three-term incumbent opponent had been in office too long. “What do you call a three-term Senator? You call him home!”
I have proudly voted for Hatch’s opponent each of the last four times he’s run. While he says this term will be his last, I suspect he will continue to run for office even after he turns to dust. Sadly, people here in Utah would send a pile of dust to Washington, as long as it said Dust-R on the ballot.

" “There is no excuse for twisting my words and imputing to me positions I have never held. Not then, not now.”
Is this guy STILL defending his love for Clarence Thomas?

Poor Senator Hatch. His heart isn’t truly in this battle.
He should play the age card and claim that he forgot that in the Internet Age, everything is on video, film, or a digital recording. Take himself out of the running rather than look like a fool and a man who betrayed a thirty-year relationship for partisan politics.

I am reminded when this liar & fraud was considered a moderate back in the good ol days. In those days: 80s, 90s my Mormon friends were still good at masking their racism on account of the elders having visions that black folks were not the devil. I still don’t know how my Mormon friends can say they love jazz music but hate black people.
