It names two of the 47 GOP Senators as going for Reid...although we know of other RINOS that could sign on...and based on those two, you ask if Jim DeMint is the only true Republican?? BTW, don’t you mean Conservative?

Marco Rubio
Ron Johnson
Mike Lee
Rand Paul
Pat Toomey (on most issues, but folded on gays in the military)
Jeff Sessions
Jim Inhoff

There must be others but I’m just answering your question...is there anyone but DeMint.

And u saps here think that we we get a majority in the senate, things will change? That the McCains, Browns, Mulkowski’s, Snowe’s, Collins, Lugars, and Graham won’t cluster...our majority?

If u think u r going to get change, just look at the sham debt bills.

I wish u good luck.

Big deal. They only spell democrat a little differently with an ‘r’.

Keep in mind, it’s CBS news reporting this. Look for the propaganda angle in it, and figure the only truth in it is whatever it takes to add a flavor of credibility. I do not think they are accurately reporting this, and it isn’t an accident.

Snowe and Lugar are likely gone after 2012. Primaried out, if they don't retire.

Brown will face re-election in an unfavorable state -- perhaps replaced by a Democrat.

Granted, that leaves the backstabbing McCain, the feckless Graham, the useless Collins and the ever contrary Murkowski. But it's a lower hurdle to carry...

But without sensationalism, we couldnt write off every half decent member of the Republican congress as a dem infiltrator.

Staying home is like living in the dark for the next 5 years. We have not yet begun to truly fight. We are still in the learning stage how to beat the bas____s at their own game. They are damn good, we have to be damn better

Jim Thune = John Thune. RINO-SD

The next mailing I get form Thune asking for money I’m going to unload on him, with his postage free envelope.

The whole thing is a joke...cut 7 billion the first year...might as well just give OBAMA the money and go broke... a spending freeze would save 9.8 trillion over 10 years..

Doesn’t Reid’s bill have to go thru the House?

It seems like DC has it down to a science. They use our energy and money to elect a RINO or Tea Party Candidate. Then use or PLAY that Tea Party Congressman or Woman that we elected for their own purposes, not the purpose they were sent there for without anything in return except a few bones here and there.
