I am afraid that I disagree with Sen. Jim DeMint about Ron Paul.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  January 12th at 04:00 PM  | 

That the good Senator is apparently at least considering the idea of endorsing Mitt Romney is one thing: everybody does endorsements, they’re not always going to be for your candidate, so suck it up and walk it off. But – unlike the Senator – I want Ron Paul out of my darn primaries.  Yesterday, if possible.  The non-Republicans that he’s bringing in won’t vote for | Read More »

Sen. DeMint not to run in 2016?

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  July 29th at 09:00 AM  | 

(Via Hot Air Headlines) At least, that’s what he’s telling the National Journal: NJ What is your ambition? DeMINT My hope is to elect five or 10 more solid conservatives and go home and rock on my front porch. NJ This is your last term? DeMINT Yeah. It was not a campaign promise; but that is my plan, that the election last year was my | Read More »

The Honduras article Sen. Kerry (D, MA) didn’t want you to see.

(Via Dan Collins of POWIP) Senator Jim DeMint (R, SC) is back from Honduras – despite the best efforts of the Democrats to stop him from going – and he’s unkind about what has been pretty obviously an attempt by the American government to admit that we made a mistake and picked the wrong side of the Honduras issue: [American policy re: the Zelaya ouster] | Read More »

More like ‘DeMint *schools* Kerry over Honduras.’

(Via Jen Rubin) Let’s review (I almost did this using an extended metaphor of a fencing match, but I didn’t want actual fencers wincing): Sen. John Kerry is the Democratic point man in Foreign Relations for this administration’s messed-up Honduras policy.  He is, in fact, the Foreign Relations chair… which tells you how seriously the Democrats take this committee (i.e., they don’t).

This fish cost California almost a billion dollars.

And depending on your monitor, the picture (via Michelle Malkin) may be the actual size: That’s the delta smelt – or, as Rep. George Radanovich (R, CA-19) likes to call it, “a worthless little worm that needs to go the way of the dinosaur” – and it’s the reason why direct farm losses in California’s San Joaquin valley are being estimated at a high of | Read More »

WaPo publishes DeMint-as-sniper cartoon.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  July 25th at 09:40 PM  | 

Via @AmandaCarpenter here (and a related thought here) and Hot Air: how the Washington Post chooses to symbolize the opposition (currently somewhere around 53%) to the proposed Democratic health care bill. Senator Demint with a sniper rifle. This was… vile… of them. Moe Lane Crossposted to Moe Lane.

While I agree with Ed Morrissey that seeing Senator Jim DeMint make Senator Kay Hagan admit several times that there was a double standard in the way that they killed his call for a GAO audit of the Federal Reserve (a very popular House initiative) while not applying the same rule to their own pet clauses, I also agree that it was prefaced by what | Read More »
