Applesauce

The fact that the senior senator from Utah was booed when he EXPRESSED HIS CONCERNS about a split in the Republican Party suggests that he has good reason to worry.

UPDATE: Speaking of splits among right-wingers, Sarah Palin is SHUNNING this week’s Conservative Political Action Conference and is bad-mouthing its organizers.

 You’ve got to hand it to Sen.Orrin Hatch, the Utah Republican, for UNCOMMON POLITICAL CANDOR.

 An excerpt:

 Hatch asserted that the health bills, which he believes represent a “step-by-step approach to socialized medicine,” will lead to Americans’ dependence on Democrats for their health and other issues.

 ”And if they get there, of course, you’re going to have a very rough time having a two-party system in this country, because almost everybody’s going to say, ‘All we ever were, all we ever are, all we ever hope to be depends on the Democratic Party,’ ” Hatch said during an interview with the conservative CNSNews.com.

 ”That’s their goal,” Hatch added. “That’s what keeps Democrats in power.”

 Imagine that! Those darned Democrats are just trying to ingratiate themselves with a majority of the American people! It’s outrageous!

 UPDATE: And then there’s Virginia Foxx, a House Republican from North Carolina, who SAYS Democratic efforts at health-care reform are a bigger threat to America than terrorism.
