I know it’s from 2007, but there is no way I am going to even try to defend that letter of DeMint’s.
If he backs Romney in 2012, despite the flagrant failure of both Romneycare and Obamacare, then he can go to hell.
Despite the high opinion many have around here for DeMint, I’ve not fully trusted him because of his connections to Slick Willard. I think he’s been playing a dangerous game of trying to insinuate himself with him in order to score a VP slot, but he needs to understand you NEVER use Slick Willard, he only uses you. He’ll use DeMint as long as he remains a useful idiot for his cause, and then discard him when he is no longer, exactly how he has always used people. DeMint should smarten up and cut his ties now. He had his best shot to be his running mate in ‘08 and that’s not going to happen now. The longer he allows himself to give a smidge of credibility to a wholly uncredible phony, the worse he’s going to look. If he endorses him in ‘12, I will consider him to be no better than his SC seatmate Graham, willfully destructive to the Conservative cause.
Most conservative pols picked a RINO frontrunner to back. I wouldn’t not support DeMint if he ran himself just because of that.
But if he backs him to the hilt again he’s either
A)Not too bright
B)Doesn’t care if Myth isn’t conservative just wants to use him to ride the VP train
Neither stupidity nor hyper-ambition are desirable qualities in a leader. Don’t do it DeMint.
