Jim DeMint is one of only a handful of senators that the tea party can tolerate. He's one of the very few that actually wants to slash the federal gov't down to its proper size.

Hunter/DeMint 2012

I can’t find a down side to DeMint but you know it will show up soon. And I think you have the ticket upside down. ;)

I’d rather ignore the RINOs who endorsed Arlen, Charlie Loafers, and McCain

He’s got a few downsides, but far fewer than most.

Johnny Martin was caught chanting Obama’s anme at the DNC convention by the Fox crew and Hugh Hewitt.

If South Carolina is deeply Conservative, how should we explain Lindsey Graham?

Examples of his senatorial poor form keep growing.

From Politico, this is a Medal of Honor.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
