Letter: Bye, Orrin, I won’t miss your hypocritical preaching

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Members of the Utah Senate praise U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch, relaying their own personal stories with him from his 42 years in office, as Wednesday, Feb. 21, 2018, is declared "Orrin G. Hatch Day." Hatch is the longest-serving Republican senator in U.S. history. At right is Senate President Wayne Niederhauser.

Sen. Orrin Hatch thinks people who like Obamacare are stupid. In 1989 the Heritage Foundation came out with a personal mandated insurance idea and several leading Republicans, including Hatch, Mitt Romney, George Bush and Dan Quayle, supported it.

No surprise Hatch has been on many sides of many issues. It doesn’t take much of a political breeze to sway that guy. Hatch has received $865,000 from insurance and pharmaceuticals from 2009-2014. He has been feeding off taxpayer money for 42 years!

Bye, Orrin, I won’t miss your hypocritical preaching. I hope Utah voters are not stupid enough to elect a Hatch clone: Mitt Romney.
