“Unfortunately, we can’t trust what he says anymore, and I don’t think that the American people are going to begin to trust him more and more as we get towards the elections, even if the economy improves,” says the usually very gentlemanly South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint, in an interview with Newsmax.com (see above video).
Senator DeMint doesn't just stop with his harsh criticism of President Obama, who earned more distrust recently with his unsubstantiated accusation against the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, but expresses frustration with his own party who, when in power during the Bush years, governed more like Democrat-lites, Liberal-lites, and and Republicans-in-name-only (RINO's).
About the Republicans in power during the Bush years, Senator DeMint contends:
“I was a team player, and I listened to my leadership, and I saw that they run this party (Republican) into the ground. I mean after a disastrous 2006 election, where we lost the majority in both Houses, there weren’t any changes. I couldn’t believe it...you got a lot of people here in the House and in the Senate who just don’t get it, and so even some of my Republican colleagues have resisted any change."
During the Reagan administration, which accomplished a great deal, yet would have accomplished much more if the liberal, establishment (or, as they refer to themselves, "moderate" or "centrist") Republicans hadn't fought him along the way, seeing him as an outsider and a threat to their power.
It's these kind of Republicans that must change, be removed actually, from their elitist perches. We will not recognize our nation after another round of big government party #1 and big government party #2.
DeMint's Senate Conservatives Fund has been a major factor in funding true conservative senatorial candidates, a role largely abandoned by the Republican Party establishment, who've endorsed liberal Republicans (a term that should be an oxymoron) repeatedly.
