Senator Hatch Supports Adultery and Prostitution, but not Gay Americans.
Bullshit, Senator Hatch.
"'I've never judged a human being on those type of issues,' attested Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah)" about Senator David Vitter's (R-Utah) recent announcement that his number was on the DC Madam's call list.
No, Senator Hatch, you won't judge a fellow rich white heterosexual male Republican if he cheats on his wife while championing typical BS "family values" from the Senate floor. You don't mind when heterosexuals form "Big Love" style families with two or ten moms ("I'm not here to justify polygamy. All I can say is, I know people in Hildale who are polygamists who are very fine people"). But you will judge and justify denying an entire population of people based on their sexual orientation. To you, gays are bad, indecent, and unclean. According to HRC's congressional scorecard, when your JOB is judging issues that affect human beings you have no problems judging based on sex; you vote 100% against gay and lesbian issues.
I have been thinking recently that there is this fundamental divide between progressives and Republicans. Progressives get SOOO mad at hypocrisy, as if hypocrisy itself is the issue. We consider hypocrisy itself enough evidence to show an argument to be wrong. The problem with that is, Republicans don't give a shit about hypocrisy. From the White House to your neighbor's house, it's part of normal operating procedure. Hypocrisy, intellectual dishonesty (you know, when facts and reality get in the way of even the basic structure of your argument, you just ignore them), and outright lies are what fuels Republican talking points.
Forget about hypocrisy! Republicans don't care about it. The media doesn't care about it. As far as I'm concerned, Sen. Hatch wasn't being hypocritical, he was stating his support for Vitter's illegal, adulterous behavior.
Face it. Republican politicians know that "traditional family values" is a myth. It just happens to be a high-and-mighty myth that wins them xenophobic votes. When a party's fundamental tactic is deceit, is it any wonder all the perverts getting caught in office are Republicans?
