South Carolina U.S. Senator Jim DeMint dipped his toe into the debate taking place concerning the 2012 Republican presidential election, offering his thoughts on former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.

“One of the reasons I endorsed Romney [in 2008] is his attempts to make private health insurance available at affordable prices,” said Sen. Jim DeMint.

Mr. Romney, who has received criticism from Republican leaders in recent weeks, seemed to find a supportive voice from the Republican U.S. Senator. Blaming Massachusetts Democrats, Mr. DeMint seemed to present Mr. Romney with a political strategy to address concerns over his support of the Massachusetts universal health care system.

“It just depends on how he plays it. For me, I think he started with some good ideas that were essentially hijacked by the Democrat Legislature,” Mr. DeMint said.

The comment comes as Mr. Romney continues to build support for a potential presidential campaign. The potential Republican candidate has plans to travel to New Hampshire and Iowa in the coming months.

“One of the reasons I endorsed Romney [in 2008] is his attempts to make private health insurance available at affordable prices,” said Sen. Jim DeMint.

"Senator DeMint, put the pipe down and step away from that baggie...."

Too bad DeMint APPROVES of the BIG-DIG coverup,
and Romney's abdication of the Mass. Constitution,
and Romney's policy of BAD GOVERNMENT,
and Romney's Support of IAG and TARP,
and the Romney Islam-911 Victory Mosque connection.

At least, DeMint had the courtesy to let people know
early of his utter, complete, RINO-type worthlessness.

Mitt Romney: "RINO Jim Mint and me are not running as the Republican view or a continuation of Republican values.
That's not what brings us to the race."

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
 over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
 to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn’t make any sense at all.""
--  President Ronald Reagan

At heart, Mitt and DeMitt are hack, political theory ignorents, that want and like political power. So, the whole liberty/freedom thing is a little always in the background and weak with these types. Let’s call them modern Albert Speers of the Welfare State.
