You'd think the GOP elite could take a hint from the disgusted base, wouldn't you?

[TexasFreeper2009]

grief, even DeMint is selling out now.

*sigh*

[Yashcheritsiy]

Jim, you’re killin’ us here.

I swear, it’s time to scrap the GOP lock, stock, and barrel and replace it.

[Cyber Liberty]

I got quite bit of heat the other day for suggesting DeMint isn’t as rock-ribbed as people think. I got this tagline from one of the more sarcastic responses.

[MotorCityBuck]

Your dead to me now, Fredo.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

I don’t trust a single GOP at this point..they are selling us out..time for someone to come up with something to replace the modern Whigs( GOP) with and move on with some conservative alternative.

IS THIS THE GREATEST MOMENT IN AMERICAN CONSERVATISM?

YOU ARE THERE

THE IMPOSITION OF OBAMACARE/ROMNEYCARE
AND DEATH PANELS BY MYTH ROMNEY
AND THE FELON.

The ineligible, metamorphosing, vulture-corporatist:
"I bet you $10,000 that you rot in jail for this
while I will be lauded widely for our imposing with a stroke of my pen
this RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE,
its costly boondoggle of fewer doctors,
longer waits to be seen, millions more illegals in ERs,
our new death panels from which WE are exempt,
and the rising insurance rates for everyone else."

Et Tu Jim?

They are all bunch or worthless windbags.

Never put your faith in the man. Put your faith in his ideas...but never in the man. The man will ALWAYS disappoint you.

[BitWielder1]

Good for you Jim, you're a Senator, wealthy and set for life no matter what happens.
I'm none of those things and I'm not comfortable with Mitt. Not at all.

I wonder how long ago the country clubbers agreed to lose in 2012?

[dt57]

Game Over dude. I can’t believe I am saying this but it is third party for me as well.

[Captain Peter Blood]

There we are, now Jim DeMint selling out. I guess the Republicans don't really want to win and are now officially the Socialist Lite Party.
Well no more donations or anything else to the Republicans.
It is time for a rock ribbed Conservative Party to be formed. no more chances for the Pubbies, it's over.

[Engraved-on-His-hands]

No thanks, Jim.

[alstewartfan]

Hey Sen. Demint, you’ve just been ETCH-A-SKETCHED!You don’t seem to get that many of us loathe Romney and think that he’s a transparent fraud.

[DemforBush]

Disappointing, but I think also probably a move to try to mend fences between the conservative base and the establishment types ahead of the convention/general campaign. A Romney nomination isn’t written in stone at this point, but unless Newt (the guy I’ve been backing) pulls out and throws his support to Santorum, it seems increasingly likely. A brokered convention is still a possibility, of course, but I wouldn’t bet the farm on that.

The bigger question is, will it mend anything? I have my doubts. Romney has been saying the right things the last couple of weeks, but saying and doing are two different things, and Mitt’s actual record is one of liberal governance. Hard to get the base to turn out when many of them see Romney as just a watered-down version of Obama.

Me, I think I’ll just go back to working on that time machine I tried to build in the third grade. With a little luck, I’ll get back to 1984 just in time to see Mondale’s concession speech (heh).

[Gator113]

So now DeMint helps to shake Romney’s Etch-A-Sketch.

DeMint disgusts me.

[SERKIT]

Speak for yourself, DeMint! I am NOT comfortable AT ALL with Mittens. If he is elected, he will need to have his flip-flops removed and REALLY put his feet to the fire on conservative issues.

[CatherineofAragon]

I am so sick of these jerks. I got an RNC solicitation for money in the mail. I happened to have a joke million dollar bill with Obama’s face on it, so I stuck that in the envelope, wrote a note telling them that was the last they would ever get from me, and sent it off.

[Lazlo in PA]

DeMint and the Beltway Rove types can all come together around their hand made disaster Romney. I'll pass. Just look at the low turn out this slash and burn loser is creating. Santorum is right is saying there isn't any difference between Obummer and Milt. Just look at all the positions he has on one simple issue. Obamacare. Milt and his pals can screw.

[Longbow1969]

He said it’s to save the country. ... That’s what I needed to hear and I think everyone in the room needed to hear — [that] really our country’s at stake, and we want a president that understands that this is not a business as usual. ... I think what we got from him is a sense of urgency.”

It's funny that DeMint says this considering the very problem I have with Romney, aside from the fact he is obviously not a real conservative, is an utter and absolute lack of urgency and understanding that big things need to be done to turn this country around.

Meh, I guess the writing is on the wall and Romney is 99% likely to be the nominee now. I hope at least Newt stays in till the end and keeps forcing Mitt to the right. I'd expect folks like DeMint and Ryan to formally endorse the chameleon soon after the Louisiana primary.
