Is Jim DeMint the next Jesse Helms?


Three reasons the South Carolina senator could be on track to become — as Helms was famously known — the most conservative member of the U.S. Senate.

1. HE’S IDEOLOGICALLY RIGID

DeMint, like Helms, is an ideological purist who holds fast to conservative principles such as low spending, low taxes, deregulation and strong national defense.

DeMint also, like Helms, doesn’t mind antagonizing fellow Republicans who drift leftward on those core principles. DeMint emerged as a leader in the Senate during his fight to sink illegal immigration reform, splitting with much of the Republican Party to kill a plan designed by President Bush.

“I spent a number of years as a team player, trying to work with our leadership, only to find that our leadership was taking us in the wrong direction,â€

Harry Reid? Harry Reid? You can discount anything this anarchist socialist says. In fact if it pisses him off, that's good because he's always on the wrong side of an issue.

DeMint was our friend along with Sessions and Vitter during the Amnesty Shamnesty...

I have been watching the National Governors Convention on c-span...(waiting to see what they say about immigration) suppose to talk about it) but will probably be behind closed doors.....anyway

A man named Viljay Vaitheeswaran (Auther of ) "Power to the People" was speaking of Energy and the gas prices.......he said "we have integrated over 1 billion of the poor people from 3rd world countrys through out the world" BLAH BLAH BLAH

Gee I wonder why countries all over the world are having the same problems we are ....Well they are doing a good job of driving down the middle class and this shows me our Governors are in on it...... I knew Gov. Otter has been doing some wierd things that are not good for the residence of Idaho....this confirms why. We better keep our eye on them.
