Wyoming senator campaigns for Hatch

Another day, and another western senator visited Utah to campaign for Sen. Orrin Hatch on Wednesday. Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., joined Hatch for a series of meetings with energy, farm and business groups, a day after Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, spent Tuesday campaigning with him during the Senate’s Memorial Day recess. "When Orrin Hatch stands up to talk — whether it’s on the Senate floor, or in our closed conferences with just Republican senators — everybody listens. They don’t listen to every senator," Barrasso told the Utah Farm Federation Bureau in one meeting. Hatch is facing a June 26 primary against Dan Liljenquist. "We all know that there are some good things that they [environmentalist groups] want, and we are supportive of them. But I’ll say this: Not many of them, as far as I’m concerned. They are not my favorite people in reality," Hatch told the Farm Bureau. "I think they are taking this country down the primrose path to destruction." Hatch added about Obama, "He has no idea about what our problems are out here in the West."...more

Hatch's quotes demonstrate the problem with the old-line Republicans.

"We all know that there are some good things that they [environmentalist groups] want, and we are supportive of them." and  "I think they are taking this country down the primrose path to destruction."  The two don't go together and Hatch still doesn't realize this. 

Let's put it this way:  would you say "good things" about groups who are "taking this country down the primrose path to destruction"?
