He said he knows the press does not want to know what he thinks, they want something to back the story they already wrote, so to get his message out he speaks to the people.
DeMint has been encouraged by the few new senators who joined his effort to keep saying no to more government, as he has done alone for so many years. He said that his Senate Conservatives Fund, among others, has helped put true conservatives in the spotlight, to increase their chances of winning in their state, as it did with Marco Rubio and Rand Paul.
He said states are banding together promoting the right to work, and to keep the federal government out of their business, as the 10th amendments declares.
His positions on the Banking and the Commerce Committees makes clear the ruinous trail the Federal Reserve is taking us on and he relayed that Romney has listened to Ron Pauls forewarning and if Romney becomes President he will push for at least a review of the Federal Reserve. They print 40% more money to buy our countrys debt, by way of Wall Street since they cant legally do it directly (Wall Street who contributes by a ratio of five to one to the Democrats). The Fed was also given the mandate by Congress to keep people employed, which has contributed to the debacle.
He describes Obamas true persuasion he is a bully, a deceiver, and has done nothing to improve this country but has only helped destroy it. If Obama stays in office he will continue to raise the debt by a trillion a year just as he has so far. His administration has helped government get their hands into almost every area of the formerly private sector.
Regarding the Federal Export-Import Bank four year agreement, DeMint said our country backed loans for purchases by foreign countries for up to 100 million dollars. In renewing the bill, politicians including SCs Lindsay Graham want to raise it to 140 Million, while the government doesnt guarantee similar loans to companies in the United States. The people of the U.S. should not have to back anyones loans. Obamas administrations took it upon the government tax payers to back student loans, which are going to go bankrupt, as is the FDIC.
He believes in term limits and will not run again in 2016 but says Mick Mulvaney, the new House Representative who beat Spratt, can handle his job. DeMint will keep backing the true conservatives to help them get elected.
He spoke about 1 ½ hrs. I wish I recorded it.
Thanks for posting.
Wonderful post.
Bfl
I moved from SC to FL recently, but I still have my DeMint sticker on my car. He should be President.

Sorry, but DeMint sold out the Conservative movement not once but twice to the abominable Socialist liar Slick Willard. Shame on him.
Thanks for this very welcome thread!
” - - - to get his message out he speaks to the people.” Something Reagan was good at too.
DeMint for VP 2012!! He has had a couple of missteps but Overall I would venture to say one of the Best Republican Senators in DC!! Almost makes up for the other RINO Senator SC has......
If DeMint is conservative, why is he supporting a liberal/socialist establishment RINO who believes in:
- Govt/Socialist heath care
- Globull warming
- Cap-N-Trade/Tax
- homosexual “marriage”
- killing unborn children
DeMint is a PHONY Conservative!!!!!
