Orrin Hatch started some silly plan to keep the state’s monopoly on sales of booze and called it ‘to save the children’. He didn’t say what they were being saved from.
This was his way of saying he was going to keep the liquor prices high and guarantee the jobs of the state employees.
I’ve heard this line a lot on the news. Some turkey neck will yap about a hidden danger and then say ‘how to protect your kids’.
Heck with that. I want to know how to protect myself.
56 Million of us chose to never have yard apes, and we still get no consideration.
I don’t know who these ‘kids’ are who are being saved, but I don’t like them.
There are some people who have the misguided idea that having the state monopolize booze somehow reduces alcoholism, DWI, and/or underage drinking, and Orin Hatch must have extrapolated that notion into a “save the kids” kind of deal.
It seems to me that he is using kids as a political tool, trying to manipulate people into supporting him by making it seem as if those who don’t support him are evil child-hating SOB’s. He isn’t the first or the only person to do this.
Life is a tragedy for those who feel and a comedy for those who think.
Lindsay you need to trim your posts down and then think hard about what you have to say before you say it. You are beginning to get on my nerves.
Your also starting to take on troll-like qualities. And right here at Easter time too! BTW your last name wouldn’t be masterson would it? ( never mind an inside joke)
One of the few to be personally welcomed to this board by Ed Zotti.
Orrin Hatch is a reactionary arch-conservative whith whose politics I disagree now as strongly as I did when I lived in Salt Lake City.
However, Lindsay, it seems you’ve spent too much time with the hypocritical Goads or perhaps the Misanthropic Bitch.
If the former, your head might as well be full of cottage cheese. If the latter, you have no concept of satire. If you’re parroting some other writer or website, drop a link, willya?
If, OTOH, you came up with all this bile on your own, try professional counselling.
And while you’re at it, please stop trolling for responses with poorly-thought-out and deliberately inflammatory rhetoric, mmmkay?
First of all, any politician worth his or her salt will find a way to include the phrase “to save our children” in any message because it sounds good and people buy into it, regardless of how relevant it is.
I could propose a bill to limit the import of Norwegian albino tiger cubs, and as long as I said it was to save our children, I would pick up support.
Second of all, your threads continue to represent the height of moronic activity on this board. I think we should ban your use of a keyboard, to save our children.
