Fighting Words: DeMint Warns Republicans They May Be 'Gone' if They Support Debt Ceiling Increase

Quote
Conservative firebrand Sen. Jim DeMint has a message to fellow Republicans in Congress: If you support increasing the debt ceiling without first passing a balanced budget amendment and massive across-the-board spending cuts, you're gone -- destined to be swept out of Congress by a wave of voter anger.

"Based on what I can see around the country," DeMint, R-S.C., said in an interview for the ABC News Subway Series, "not only are those individuals gone, but I would suspect the Republican Party would be set back many years.

"It would be the most toxic vote," DeMint said. "I can tell you if you look at the polls, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, they do not think we should increase the debt limit." >>>

During the 2010 midterm elections, DeMint played key role in several high-stakes Republican primaries, supporting insurgent conservatives often at odds with party leaders. Many of those insurgents -- including Rand Paul of Kentucky, Marco Rubio of Florida, Christine O'Donnell of Delaware and Ken Buck of Colorado -- went on to win their Republican primaries.

DeMint said he plans to get involved, once again, in Republican primaries for the 2012 elections. >>>

I luv Sen DeMint. Have followed him for many years now since he was just a Congressman. He is the unapologetic conservatives, conservative. And is usually content with just working "behind the scenes."

I think the DeMint is correct.  Most Americans are getting fed up with the governments out of control spending.

I think the the mid-term elections were an indicator that folks are tired of the same ole shit in DC.

Senate Conservatives Fund

Quote
SCF is a political action committee dedicated to electing strong conservatives to the United States Senate. We do not support liberal Republicans and we are not affiliated with the Republican Party or any of its campaign committees. SCF seeks to bring bold conservative leadership to Washington by supporting only the most principled candidates nationwide — candidates who believe in the timeless conservative principles of limited government, strong national defense, and traditional family values.

Sen Jim DeMint has a website promoting conservatives for the Senate.

The above links to just one of these candidates. The most pressing atm.
