Marginalizing Jim DeMint: Senate Republicans Trying to Get Tom Coburn to Be Judas to Conservatives?
Redstate ^ | Erick Erickson

As you know, Senate Republicans are more than a little unhappy with Jim DeMint. The Senate GOP will see an influx of DeMint backed candidates after November. Consequently, the Senate GOP has become more fixated with marginalized Jim DeMint than fighting Barack Obama.

For perspective, Mitch McConnell won’t even campaign against or speak ill of Harry Reid to help Sharron Angle. But his minion are all over Washington newspapers badmouthing Jim DeMint.

They’d better get used to him. They can either work with the new guys, or be flushed when their next election comes around.

“All the RHINO’s have got to go and that includes McConnell and Boehner.”

Includes, heck I say it starts with them first. Swiftly followed by Cornyn. Whatever these men were when they entered congress, they are no longer allies.

These RINOs don't realize their “Salad Days” are coming to an end. The ones who believe they will not be swept up in the Tea Party Tsunami are only fooling themselves.

Establishment Republicans are history and they know it. DeMint has the cajones to fight back and, We The People, will help him.

The only way to send the message to those jerks is to stop sending money to the NRSCC and instead send it to DeMint’s PAC. When he has more money than them, they will get the message.

When we take the Senate; the ‘Tea Party’ freshmen need to force Mitch out as majority leader if favor of a Non-RINO.

After 2010 election cycle, the 2012 will begin.

We MUST get rid of these RINO’s including my two senators, Corker and Alexander.

I disagree. I really don’t think they know it. I believe that they think this whole Tea Party revolt is a fad and will blow over. After the election they expect to get back to business as usual. They’re in for a huge surprise. Beating democrats is huge but i think defeating these old RINO bulls in the primaries is even bigger. I can’t wait to continue our RINO safari in 2012!

I like Jim also! He may have a shot at the #2 spot running with Sarah Palin.

But he may be of more use to us in the US Senate, rather that attending funerals as US VP.

Arrogance by anyone in DC is going to be smacked down hard by We The People. Watch and gloat.
