Jim DeMint BLASTS D.C. GOP
:beer::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::beer:


You tell em Jimbo...:rofl::rofl:



" A day after saying the GOP had united headed into the fall elections, South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint laid out a sweeping indictment of Washington Republicans on Thursday, accusing party leaders of quietly trying to discredit conservatives and undermine their chances at the polls....:wow::rofl:


In a fundraising solicitation sent to supporters, DeMint said the Washington establishment had “launched an all-out assault” on him for backing the “principled” Christine O’Donnell, the conservative Republican who shocked moderate Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.) but now has imperiled the party’s chances of winning the Delaware Senate seat in the fall.


“They say she can't win and that by supporting her, I've helped lose the seat for Republicans,” DeMint said. “Well, I've been in the majority with Republicans who didn't have principles, and we embarrassed ourselves and lost credibility in front of the country. Frankly, I'm at a point where I'd rather lose fighting for the right cause than win fighting for the wrong cause.”....:nopity::rofl:


And he highlighted anonymous comments Republicans have made criticizing him in the press, saying such attacks “are really against you and the thousands of freedom-loving Americans in Delaware who supported Christine.”


“National Republicans are not going to invest real money in this race and her primary opponent, Rep. Mike Castle, is refusing to endorse her,” DeMint wrote to supporters of his political action committee, the Senate Conservatives Fund. “The dirty little secret in Washington is that the establishment is quietly rooting for Christine to lose so they can continue to peddle their discredited line that conservatives cannot win.”......::spray::rofl::rofl::rofl:


The comments are a striking departure from his calls for unity the day before – as party leaders sought to put their differences behind them to take down the Democratic majority in the fall elections.

3. It's starting to look that way!
She is nothing more than a Palin clone, who will most likely do just as Palin did, "NOTHING"! Everyday more and more crazy things are coming out about her, and if she by some miracle wins, well tea party gang must be putting something in the water up there in Delaware!

2. Good!
Nothing I like better than to see more republicans fighting each other before the elections! :evilgrin:

I think DeMint is pulling for the crazies so he can become their leader and he thinks he can control them and get them to do "his" bidding! Good luck on the Jimbo!
