Jim, Obama could care less. You, sir, had better get your voice heard NOW if you want to make a difference. The clock is ticking....

Today in America over half of Americans get their income from the government or a government source.

OMG. I've never seen that statistic before; I guess I didn't want to see it.

This is a beautiful speech. Little experiments in democracies dotting our country have been working since the founding fathers day. The government needs to stay out of the charity business, permanently!!!

...no balls. That is why. Jim didn't blast anyone! WEAK!!!! INEFFECTIVE!!!! A WASTE OF TIME!!!!

If Jim really gave a shit, he would shout out in front of Congress, TV, every-time, everywhere....NOW.

Jim doesn't really care! Can you say “lip service”? Can you say “same old crap”? I knew you could.

Jim is not a solution, he is part of the problem as he is an enabler just by being complicit.

Unfortunately, our history shows us when Government gets involved, it tends to take something that is working and make it not work nearly as well. Civil society works because it is everything Government is not. It is small, it is personal, it is responsive, it is accountable. Civil society must be protected from any effort to make it more like Government.

Jim DeMint ROCKS.

I did see Jim blow his stack on the house floor when Zero's bill came up for a RAPID vote.

Jim must get TV time 24 x 7, now! There is little time left. The socialists and Marxists running AmeriKa.

Give him a break. He’s only one man. Blame your stupid ignorant neighbors and friends (maybe family) that voted in these Government goons.

I have given Jim a break, with a response. I don’t believe any of my immediate family supports Socialism. Most of them are good people who do not like the direction this country is going.

Don’t tell me that there is only one man with a voice.

The line “huge well-intended mistake” can pretty much sum up everything liberals have ever done through the government to America.

Yep. I spent literally hours and hours hacking together the HTML for that banner ping.

Knock it off! :-)

Nothing new, but well stated and it certainly bears repeating. Thanks for posting.

BULLCRAP.
He’s one of the very very few who stands up and speaks the truth, on the steps of congress, on TV. The fact that he is a statesman and doesn’t cuss or froth at the mouth certainly doesn’t mean he has no balls. He’s one of the few in the Senate WITH any balls.
He is certainly not complicit. That’s a lie and you are vile.
