There are political power brokers behind both in SC and I think they are the same. I was surprised Lindsey was reelected after his Amnesty blowback.
I know SC has an old boy network that is very strong and goes back generations.
I think the powers that be in SC whoever they are have pronounced Lindsey as one of their golden ones, and they want Demint to chime in harmony with their music.
And believe it or not many pols do not have the background info that we here on FR have on RINOs like Romney. They and their staff see what is said ***today***, and they look to the RNC and other high level republican chatter, then they make statements.
IOW they are not always in touch and even if they are in touch they may find it less than enhancing to point out the hypocrisy of powerful well-funded RINOs.
I like the ones that stay silent.
I do not understand why Palin was not silent other than she is on the circuit for catching dollars in preparation for a large role in the future. I suspect some party brass looked at her and said they expected everyone to blow kisses at McCain.
I still don’t like it though.
They are in an enviornment that is surreal. To a conservative in that environment, Miss Graham is toning down the global warming radical thing that came out of the House in a bi-partisan hut. DeMint is releived.
But the problem he does not see is that giving the Left an inch on the validity of global warming is giving them a mile for future oppressive action at the UN, in the Congress, the courts and at EPA. Immediate gradification for Demint: kill the radical bill. Long term consequences: Give global warming the foot in the door for “progressive” legal and mainstream power.
So no, it is horrible for Repubicans to join the Left in condoning the scam of global warming.
Yeah but we need to keep the heat on them. We need them to ‘feel’ it’s Ok to be 100% conservative and that it is in their political best interest to surround themselves with died-in-the-wool conservatives.
Keep firing at them, never give ‘em a break!
Did you see that Ann Coulter winked at ‘Birthers’?
Did Birthers back down? Did they give a pass to those that insulted them? No! And now the punditry is starting to come around.
Same with Fred, Sarah, and Demint on bedrock conservative beliefs. Never let them feel they can get away with turning their back on us! Never! Keep them on the straight and narrow!
Change of order
Hunter/DeMint.
ping
This is DeMint returning to his roots!
But not by anyone that knows his record.
Uh Oh!
At this point, all I know about DeMint is that he started the Obama waterloo thing, and he has a reputation for being a reliable conservative.
But these comments about Gramnesty put his reputation in serious doubt.
I didn't either, but I read the whole damn thing.
Lindsey's the senior senator, but Jim DeMint could have kept quiet, couldn't he? No need to answer. :)
