I am an un-appologetic Demint fan.

He came to the Honduras election battle that I was involved in supporting, and I greatly admire him for his spunk.

Obozo was trying to force another dictator back in power in Honduras, against the Honduran Constitution. (Just like he is destroying our Constitutional Government)

Speak Truth to Lies, Senator Demint.

Any combination of Christie, Brewer, Jindal, DeMint or John Bolton, please.

I can see tht South Carolina wants an idiot for their Senator. They just voted for one to run as a Democrat. If this is what they want in South Carolina,then perhaps Mr. DeMint would be better to run for President.

Not only that but if the Democrats do not succeed in getting Greene off the ballot, he , who is a known idiot will get most of the Democrat votes.

I wouldnt place too much credence in the polls in South Carolina against DeMint.

Old Time dorks and RINO’s running the republican party better WTF up, their old ways of kissing up to Democrats and going along to get along aint cuttin’ it any longer.

Well, the RATS wont have to worry about DeMint much longer, he is facing a tough battle with Alvin Greene for his Senate seat.

Actually, Greene, now a celebrity, will do better than another rat would have. But he’s not in much danger of losing

Huh. Demint's polling better than the Obamessiah. Is Salon disturbed by that, I wonder?

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 25% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-six percent (46%) Strongly Disapprove... Overall, 41% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's performance. That’s the lowest level of approval yet recorded for this president. Fifty-eight percent (58%) now disapprove.

They close with a note about his “ambition”—that old standard with which to minimize someone who is actually doing something.

DeMint is trying to make the Republican Party more faithful to its Republican principles. He is doing a great service in this. Let the potshots begin.

This is written if what Jim DeMint wants is a bad thing.

But the Oval Office?

I don’t think he’s vocal enough. MAYBE if he gets a lot louder after November.

Palin, Brewer, Christie, Bachmann, now even Jindal, are getting LOUD and ‘in Obama’s face’ . . . as did Joe Barton until someone clothes-lined him.

Vote Out the Neo-Cons and RINOs!

Demint is looking more and more like a worthy contender to watch.

That’s interesting. I thought I remembered the name as an outfit often used by dims but I didn’t realize the connections were so well defined. One would have to view their numbers especially on a conservative like DeMint as being totally worthless.
