Last Thursday night on the Senate floor, Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., told Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, then still a Republican, that DeMint would be supporting Specter’s rival, former Rep. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., in next year’s Senate Republican primary.
DeMint says Specter “pretty much cut me off and said, ‘I’ve heard enough.’”

Its not about any Republican, its about Spectors internal polling data related to the coming GOP primary.
Thats an excuse right out of ‘The West Wing’ season two, folks.

Arlen, don’t let the door hit you in your wrinkled old ass. We’ve had enough of YOU. At least now some of the idjits in the GOP will treat you like the opposition that you are.

I have gone back to Scottish law where there are three verdicts: guilty, not guilty, and not proved. I am not prepared to say on this record that President Clinton is not guilty. But I am certainly not prepared to say that he is guilty. There are precedents for a Senator voting present. I hope that I will be accorded the opportunity to vote not proved in this case. - Arlen Specter,February 12, 1999

DeMint continued: “I would rather have 30 Republicans in the Senate who really believe in principles of limited government, free markets, free people, than to have 60 that don’t have a set of beliefs.”
Well said, Senator DeMint.

Jim DeMint is many times the man that George Bush was when it comes to staking claims to bedrock conservatism.
Bush’s endorsement of Arlen gave us 6 more years of liberalism in that job.

Can’t recall any federal officeholder (aside from impeachment).
