Cowardly Republican Senate Aides Begin Attacking Jim DeMint

JadedByPolitics

you CANNOT “punish” a man with PRINCIPLES! Senator Jim DeMint is the MOST respected member of the Senate to the GRASSROOTS and for the all the pathetic lemmings down in DC, that is something that CANNOT be bought it is EARNED and that is problem isn’t it? The “moderates” etc., want to be given everything and never earn anything!

OBTW GOP 2012 is going to be just as BRUTAL in the primaries, get ready, you were warned last year about this year and you IGNORED WE The People, you are now getting a TWO YEAR WARNING, turn back to the principles of the Republican Party or go home!

EagleWatcher

The Establishment Republicans are not happy that the GOP base is rising up and saying enough already. They are sending out the snipers to shut down the insurgency.

We have had it with Democrat-lite Republicans who think it is their birthright to rule over the masses. The GOP needs to get back to its founding principles and run the country with smaller government, less spending and strong adherence to that little piece of paper affectionately known as the Constitution.

Not a civil war. Just the conservative base taking back the GOP.

I guess the headder fleshed out the body too well.

It’s also about taking back the Republican Party from those who choose their own interests above the will of the people. That includes the likes of Carl Rove who uses his name and his mouth as though he was annointed to save us from ourselves.

I hesitate to say too much but there will come a time, (about November 2nd at 9:00 Pacific Time) when these people will be called out on their actions. Until then we must play nice and work hard to elect the most conservative Republican majority that Washington has ever seen.

Do not send your money to the NRSC. Send your contributions directly to the candidates you choose to support or send them to one of the great organizations that support our positions and our call for conservative leadership. One of those orgaizations is Jim DeMint’s. Let’s get goiing. We have 50 days left.

fpete13527

They are completely clear that Jim DeMint has the highest levels of integrity and courage……..and they are clear that they have none. They are miserable with themselves given that revelation.

They want desperately to hang on to their phony pork existence.

I’m sending lot’s more money to both DeMint and directly to conservative candidates. As for the despicable Senate staffers attacking DeMint, I wouldn’t get your hopes up about being in office much longer.

Everyone I know considers Sen. DeMint to be top notch, even if they don’t agree with every point he supports. As for the current RINO, progressive, liberal, coward Senate staffers, the words that I most hear describing them are not appropriate to list here.

jmimac351

All Demint has to do is push the Easy button and these aides know it. There is nothing they can do about Jim Demint. The more they attack him, the stronger he and we get. There is a reason why these Senate aides do not wish to be named and why Jim Demint is out in front. Demint has power commensurate with authority; the aides have nothing.

If McConnell has any sense he’d better start getting his head “right” sooner rather than later and they all better start making nice with Jim Demint.

We are witnessing a fundamental realignment within the party and the country and there isn’t a thing they can do about it but get on the bus or get run over by it.

I once had it explained by, of all people, G. Gorden Liddy. You see there are several organizations who feed upon government. Some are corporations, some are NGO’s and some are big Washington law firms.

Now, they are not ideological in nature, rather they are just out to pad their own pockets or increase their own clout. So their management is made up of both Republicans and Democrats.

You see, when a new administration takes office, or even when a new Senator is elected, there are jobs to be filled. These jobs are often filled by the people who work at these various government parasites.

So a Democrat administration takes over and the firm “loses” some of it’s Democrat management. Then a Republican takes over, the democrats go back to the firm, and their republican counterpoints go to work in government.

It is just an incestuous revolving door. And anyone who has proven that they are good at “handling” one of the legislators will be able to land some good jobs in one of the parasite firms.

Morgan_Orlins

People are punished for their principles ALL THE TIME, especially if they act on them. We’re getting ready to punish the Democrats for their tyrannical principles because they have so successfully acted on those principles.

God bless Jim Demint! I’d vote for him tomorrow if he decided to run!

nepanyrush

The national GOP organizations will just use your money against your candidates. They will either endorse and financially the establishment candidate or the most liberal/moderate choice “because they are the most electable.” Thus, your own money will be used against you. I have told the NRSC they will never get another dime from me because they supported the moderate choice here in PA-10, a very conservative GOP-leaning district, over a great, and very electable, conservative. Their flawed choice even has ties to the Bufalino crime family.

I would support Jim DeMint in any election. I don’t have any problem supporting him for President. He is the kind of principled conservative that America desperately needs. We would be so much better off if he was living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

I heard ex-McConnell aid, now NRSC chump Josh Holmes was wagging his lips on this as was Don Stewart (another MCConnell)?

Mark Levin’s show yesterday afternoon and realized that I was listening to the man I would like to see run for POTUS in 2012. He isn’t flashy, he isn’t trashy, the man is just all classy and dripping with principles. He said that any power he has has been granted him by the people, not by Washington.

A man who actually gets that he works for us. No wonder the bums he’s forced to work with in the Senate hate his guts.

jmadisonfan

that a tsunami is coming. They should get out of the way before they’re swept away . . . On the one hand, this makes me happy because it’s a confirmation that Senator Demint and the Tea Party movement have the go along to get along establishment crowd running scared. On the other hand, all this sniping provides red meat to the lame stream media to further the “fringe” narrative. Nov 2nd can’t come soon enough.

“Right will Right itself, and Wrong Never will! ”
No, these are not words from scripture, but what my dad taught me as a child to live by. Today politicians from both sides can learn from simple truths if they woulds but listen to the people and the still small voice of God. Self seems to get in the way of so many people and they get caught up in their own ‘ego’
which can be really embarrassing when its exposed!
“He who,– who he” ??

. . . are no different from Democrat elitists in their snarky belief that they are
superior in intellect to the average American citizen.

Personally, I have made a vow to myself, that I will not contribute another red copper to the RNSC. I was very angry at their snooty reponse to the election of Christine O’Donnell, but because of the previous attitudes they have shown, I expected it. From henceforth, my contributions and my support will go to individual Conservative candidates for the Senate

By the way, elitist politicians don not experience “instantaneous conversion,”
except when it suits their agenda to do so, when they are trying to bamboozle the public. While ithe RNC changed their tune on support for O’Donnell from Tuesday to Wednesday, they did so purely because they got an angry message from the grassroots.

Another thing which ruffles my feathers: I cannot believe that Carl Roe would put “the kiss of death” on ANY Republican candidate’s campaign like his comment re Christine O’Donnell’s chances, especially when he does it AFTER she won the primary. Talk about closing the barn door after the horse gets out! If he can’t support our primary winners in the general election, he could at least remain silent.

Ausonius

You should be careful about diminishing the “Butterfly Effect” of Senator DeMint’s endorsement.

The whole point of the butterfly effect is that its influence becomes magnified, despite its seeming initial insignificance.

How can one really know that his endorsement was of little – or of great – importance? Even if it added only .1 percent, .1 percent can win an election.

RedState can be the butterfly catalyst for pushing DeMint to become a prseidential candidate, if he desires the position, as mentioned by JMadisonFan above.

…and say nasty things about one another, they get to go sit in the corner until they are willing to behave. And they do come around, and do behave. That makes them more mature than some of these so-called adult aides in Congress. Very sad.

Not that I am complaining. It usually shows up a day late and in the PM.

Karl Rove was supposedly working for the Castle campaign “behind the scenes”. That still doesn’t explain his badmouthing O’Donnell after the primary,

I can’t say Rove was NEVER a Conservative, but I think we can all agree that he hasn’t been one since W was elected (of course W was no Conservative either – though far, far better than the alternatives).

morninginamerica

Staffers, indeed. The Republicans in the Senate had better ask themselves how they got into the minority. Hint, it wasn’t the the Democrats who kept the tax cuts from being permanent. Too many of those guys want the parking space without the responsibility. Well, their time has come.

They didn’t get the message the last time, so new people are being sent by the electorate to reclaim our freedoms.

Here in Illinois, it is easy to see what happens when the GOP tries to play like the Democrats. They disappear. We end up with high taxes, no jobs and crooked politicians. Thanks a lot.

We simply have to take power back from Washington and give it to the people. The market of freemen is many times smarter that anyone on the Hill. DeMint knows that, and he needs reinforcements.

Reid loves “pets” – Reid can cure them of their Republican ways.

After Nov. Reid can open a “pet” shop consisting of Chris Coons and the disgruntled former Republican Senate Aids…..The pet shop boys of the FRSA.

izoneguy

and conrinued attacking O’Donnell – Karl when did you switch parties?

Karl either start attacking Coons or just shut up.

O’Donnell has the same problems that many Americans have, and this is a crime?

Go ask Coons why he only paid $10 for his house.

Especially considering he’s the main force behind conservatives campaigns like Angle’s, Paul’s and Buck’s. He’s the one keeping them alive in the polls – especially Angle and he’s the one organizing and paying a GOTV effort that can deliver a win – and not in some low turnout primary, but in general elections. Besides banking other conservative campaigns across America.

So, let’s try to not undermine those efforts, all right?

Re: his opinon on O’Donnell, the future will tell if he’s right or wrong. He’s obviously doing it for strategic reasons, to protect other candidates. Not the first time it happens and it won’t be the last one. It was to be expected. It’s politics, sometimes it gets ugly. Live with it.

The_Rebel

when he left the WH in August, 2007. He had just lost the Congress in 2006, and it was time for him to bail. He had laid the groundwork for further losses in 2008. Now he is supposedly the great savior that we should listen to for electoral guidance. Please!

If he had laid into Democrats the way he has trashed Christine O’Donnell, perhaps our losses wouldn’t have been so bad over the last 4 years.

and Castle got beat like a drum,

It?s politics, sometimes it gets ugly. Live with it.

You win some, you lose some. Now I’m exclusively worried about November and nothing more. Something you seem clearly unable to do.

Btw, the fact that you were completely unable to discuss the issue at hand – Rove’s essential role in electing conservatives in NOVEMBER – and instead it’s, should we say, very telling.

I support Angle, Paul, Buck and many others and I appreciate the tremendous work Rove and his organization is doing to elect them and I thank him for that. What about you? Simple question. A yes or a no should suffice.

I never considered myself a “Tea Party” person. Until now. The way the GOP has treated O’Donnell and backed Castle is the last straw for me. When the GOP “leaders” said they would not back O’Donnell if she won the primary I was LIVID!

I renounce the GOP. I declare myself no longer a Republican. I am now a Tea Party affiliated voter. GOP – NOT ONE MORE DIME IN MY ENTIRE LIFETIME WILL PASS TO THE GOP! The GOP is Dim o crap lite.

GOP – I QUIT YOU!! RINOs, I will work against you at every step of every level of politics. ENOUGH!

These “Vichy” republicans are going to cause great pain and distraction until they are discarded onto history’s dustbin. The Vichy French are remembered on both sides of w.w.2 as self serving and cowardly. Personality traits shared by r.i.n.o. republicans. Current events have shown the light of day on packs of these “patriots” and in some unlikely places to boot. The truth, the facts and intestinal fortitude, along w/strident disavowment will help our country right the ship, and help our party from being relegated to obsolescence. On Rove, he’s done more good than ill for conservatism, although, (he provided a very tepid defense of “W” on many occasions during his 8 yrs.). I think he’s afraid of a Palin sequel, what the media and even members of our own party did to her immediately after mccain chose her as is veep, which is a very legitimate concern.

You are free to do as you wish, but it seems to me that actions like yours snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Just as conservatives are winning nominations within the GOP, you abandon them.

So I was in the Charleston airport on Friday plugged into the wall doing some work, and this guy that looked like Senator Demint came over to where I was sitting and plugged into the wall and sat behind me. About 15 minutes later when we were boarding the plane I realized that the man not only looked like Senator Demint but was acually Senator Demint. He had put on his blue jacket and lapel pin. It was a Clark Kent/Superman thing.

So after 15-20 minutes of trying ignore the cell phone conversations over my shoulder I have this shocking bit of breaking news.

Jim Demint has a Mac!

eburke

what are your concrete plans for taking back our country?

It’s not a rhetorical question. If you pitch your membership in the Republican Party, in exactly what actions on you planning on engaging in order to take our country back from the Marxist elitists that currently run it?

If you despise what the Party has become, I heartily encourage you to do what hundreds and thousands of fed up conservatives have done in the past two years – *become* the Party by becoming a precinct committeeman.

I finally took the plunge two years ago because I feared for my country and I feared for my children. I’m here to tell you that I’ve had more influence in the last 2 years on the political process, who we elect, what policies they will enact than in my previous 30 years of letter-writing, phone calling, and donating *combined*.

It’s simple…it’s easy. Just go here: http://theprecinctproject.wordpress.com/
and it will walk you step by step through the process.

I implore you, for the sake of our country and the sake of your children/grandchildren, don’t leave the Republican Party, *become* the Republican Party.

cordpt

What exactly are you replying to? No thanks to not undermining the efforts to elect Angle, Paul, Buck et all?

etlib

best comment of all. Rove is not a plus for the conservative cause.

powertothepeople

for what he is doing to O’Donnell, but what you have said is quite wrong.

Rove was moving away from politic support after the second Bush election. not in the years you are talking about.

We were going to lose the congress no matter who was behind the scenes, even had it been Jesus. We had laid down with the dems and people were fed up. It was a done deal even before it happened.

Rove made the dems shake. When he got behind a campaign, many times the dems would write it off. They hated him because he was that good.

Even now, he is not back into politics the way he was 10 years ago, but he is still hands down the best strategist in the business.

He needs to be put in his place and someone will do it. Someone will pull him to the side and strongly suggest he stops aiding the dems in DE.

But all that aside, any candidate who wants to win would be advised to pursue the help of Rove. He is that good.

cordpt

… are you willing to replace him in what he’s doing for Angle, Buck and Paul? Because I suspect those guys and many other conservative candidates would simply laugh at your suggestion if you can’t do anything to help them.

So, who’s more of a plus to the conservative cause, you or Rove? Can we compare what each one of you are doing?

By being the first Congressman to openly defy Obama and Congressional leaders (both Democratic and Republican) by breaking the silence and traveling to Honduras with a handful of colleagues – and thereby showing their leaders that there were Americans behind them and thereby bringing in some media attention, he provided vital assistance at a critical time to prevent a “settlement” that would have turned Honduras over to the Chavez-brand Communists with the full backing of the Obama administration.

etlib

I suggest you read the referenced “The Hill” article: http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/119115-sen-demint-relishes-role-as-kingmaker I was struck by the following statement, “the first-term senator could be punished if his involvement in GOP primaries is seen as a factor in Democrats retaining control of the upper chamber.”

What these idiots don’t realize ism that it’s them that are doing the groundwork to prevent the Republicans from taking over the Senate. It’s maddening. These moderates (becoming an intensely derogatory term to me) say, “we can’t win with a conservative.” Then they do everything they can to defeat the conservative and then they blame conservatives for the defeat. One thing you can say for Charlie Christ, and others like him is that they had the decency to leave the party instead of destroying it from within.

etlib

1. I don’t have the audience Rove does. If I did then perhaps I would be doing more than he.

2. Angle, Buck and Paul will win without any help from Rove

3. By doing nothing I’d probably do more than Rove is and has done.

http://andrightlyso.com/ civil_truth

That’s the formula to take down our country.

Doesn’t matter whether its R or a D attacking conservative – well the letter does matter, I guess, as to which level of the Inferno they end up in.

Just a matter of degrees, though…

cordpt

Really?

Well, I doubt they share your opinion. They’re in close races and Rove’s help (and many millions) has been instrumental.

In any case, when they win, it’ll be with help from Rove, regardless of your opinion about how needed was that help. And they’ll know it.

1. I don?t have the audience Rove does. If I did then perhaps I would be doing more than he.

I wonder why you don’t have audience. Well, it’s the market working.

“He is a political operative with little or no evidence of a philosophical soul.”

He could just as easily work for the Democrats, just by changing a few words.”

The only thing the “Boy Genius” or the “Architect” built was a path to Obama, Pelosi and Reid.

He so diluted the meaning of conservatism, with his “Compassionate Conservative” lingo, that many saw no difference in the parties. We are still fighting to get our definition back. The Tea Parties have told Rove that his opinions, advice and ideas are no longer needed or wanted.

“We the People” another “Bum” bites the dust. GOP should still keep their eye open as there are a few more to go. “Throw the Bums Out”. The top GOP should start to take notice, “We the People” do not like the GOP Politicians in there as they have sold our Country down the drain with all the personal perks, special interest favoritism and arrogance in Lieu of our Conservative values. Some of the GOP and the DEM’s are thinking the winners are not going to be a strong enough candidate in the upcoming General election.
“We the People” know who the good ones are and we will “Throw the Bums Out” in November.
GOP quit favoring the “Rhino’s” because you owe them and you may think they are your friends. If you do not start to listen to “We the People”, you may very well become one of our goals in “Throw the Bums Out”

I do not get in line at the RNSC, the republicans hold no moral high ground, they do reflect beliefs I hold dear frequently, and other times they join in bashing Sarah, Jim Demint, O?Donnell and promote “politics by expediency”. At a divide of purposes men and organizations can choose their own path, and at this time the GOP and I are not going in the same direction. I welcomed the insight of Carl Rove – until last night.

He said we would keep the House and Senate in an interview with NPR exactly 2 weeks before the election. He was still very much into politics back then as evidenced by this quote in the link:

“I’m looking at 68 polls a week for candidates for the US House and US Senate, and Governor and you may be looking at 4-5 public polls a week that talk attitudes nationally.”

Times are changing and time has passed him by. We need to look elsewhere for electoral guidance.

that try to simplify Demint et al as trying to create a purity-test for the GOP.

That is such a blatant oversimplification of the movement that it is false by definition.

The Republican Party ought to have SOME lines beyond we never cross: namely fiscal conservatism and government serving the people. If a policy encroaches upon personal liberty, it ought to receive the highest scrutiny possible. The 1st and 2nd Amendments to the BOR must be upheld to their purest possible forms.

I think beyond those items you can find gray areas. But re-instituting principled leadership in government is NOT a “purity test” and it defiles the spirit of the movement and particularly the principles of those who would restore the adherence to the planks in the Party platform.

When I first read that material about “punishing” DeMint, I could scarcely believe it.. Even after getting their butts kicked every single time, the establishment is still completely clueless.

I understand standing up for your party as many Republicans have done. However, now that O’Donnell has won, her own party attacking her is beyond contemptible. I also realize that she is more a Tea Party candidate than a Republican candidate.
Still, the MSM has launched an all out attack on any & all Republicans & especially any associated w/ the Tea Party.
The entire scene is disgusting. Listening to Republicans give O’Donnell’s November Dem opponent & the ultra biased establishment media sycophants all sorts of ammo to attack her, is depressing. We already know as a conservative woman, she will be attacked viciously anyway. Just as Sarah Palin was & continues to be attacked. I am not asserting sexism, although it really is. I am asserting that what are called “establishment” Republicans are angry that ‘this woman’ actually ran against the party selected (anointed?) candidate & won. The party response is petty, petulant, childish, & destructive to the efforts of Americans to regain control of their government. By throwing out the sickening chum for Democrats to attack, these establishment Republican types are proving to Americans that we really do need to get rid of those politicians who are entrenched in Washington. These attacks, signal to Democrats they can do & say anything at all about this woman. Dems would have anyway, but now w/ the help of a complicit biased liberal media, they might just get away with this. Republican ‘party’ bosses have given Dems & their media allies permission to attack, once Republicans went on TV & went into their tirades about how extreme the woman is & how Delaware is lost because she is out of touch. Castle was “their boy”& they are mad he lost. Yet Castle lost “BIG” to this woman. Seems to me, if a virtual unknown w/ her supposed baggage, could pull off this victory & really at the last minute, then perhaps the Republican party should get behind her because she must have something voters want!! Don’t ya think?
Jim Demint has been the principles conservative thorn in the side of those Republicans who have infuriated Americans as they “compromise” w/ Dems in everything, so we end up w/ legislation that really is what Dems waned anyway. All they did was get “RINO’s” to sell out, while law & justice was trashed. The “RINO’s” are why conservatives are so angry. Look at ‘snarlin’ Arlen Specter. He was done in his last election, but Bush & the other RINO’s got behind him after he tearfully promised to toe the line. That charade was dropped within two weeks of taking his last oath of office. In my not so humble opinion, Specter did a great deal of damage to this nation.
I may not agree w/ every position DeMint takes, but I would chose his positions long before I would ever even consider the opinions of people like Specter! When Specter left the Republican party, all he really did was have his political party affiliation properly displayed for all to see.
You stick w/ it Senator DeMint…. the people of this nation who love it, are with you & will do what we can to protect you & support your efforts. And I expect the rest of the Republican party to get in line with the people.

His greatest power comes from the people who elected him, and the conservatives all over this Nation who support his effort to change the Senate; support it with their money for SCF and the candidates it backs — candidates that win. Whether or not a more conservative Republican tide takes control there, or simply comes close, it will frustrate RINOS and the
established GOP leadership, and make it well nigh impossible for Democrats to break a filibuster. Cloture requires 60 votes. If nothing else, DeMint’s forces are going to ensure that won’t happen. They can pick and choose their battles and leave “blood” on the floor — politically speaking, that is.

Running on a ticket with Alan West for Vice-President.

The democrats could not touch this combination.

I have several friends who are originally from Honduras. They were worried for their families…. worried that the United States was actually going to restore, by economic force or even by military force, a marxist/socialst president and his regime. Their question to me at the time wa, “Is this really America?” And I said, “It’s no longer an American government.” Thankfully, Senator Demint and others proved me wrong.

in the primary process over the last year, this shouldn’t have come as so much a surprise as it was for me, but the depth of the rot, the extent of the cronyism and venality of the corruption is far worse than I had ever expected. RINOs such as snowe & collins are bad enough, but to see those who are – theoretically – Republicans behaving in such verminous manner turns my stomach – LITERALLY. A pox on the establishment politicians unless they demonstrate they are not part of the problem.

Well I will say one thing. His words and the actions of other republican nay-sayers have clearly brought in the donations and filled O?Donnell’s campaign coffers. So I guess he is good at bringing in the money.

These aides are working for the republicans that will spend, spend and spend. Most are members who are almost as big of bums as reid, pelosi, obama and biden. They believe in power and unity as it serves them best. Vote them out. We have to rebuild the country and do not need people like them including McCain, Grassley, Snowe, Collins and others. We need Americans for America not RINO’s of any type.

Some of both the Democrats and Republicans are terrified of the Tea Party but neither will tell you the “real” reason. Its the elite seeing the peasants rise up. it?s guaranteed, definite, surefire, cast iron, in the bag, clear cut, assured, straightforward, and a sure thing that’s the reason.
