I have no desire to listen to an extremist like Sen. DeMint, who advocates, along with fellow nut, Sen. Cruz, crazy notions like shutting down the federal government rather than funding Obamacare.I do like the fact that Republican radicals like DeMint holler so loudly about their destructive ideas in that in ensures that there will continue to be a Democrat in the White House for many years to come.
he will be perfect for this group
Amen! Ronald Reagan and W.F. Buckley would be disgusted by these clowns.
Y'all are nuts! No one said anything about shutting down the government, just not funding Obamacare! Seriously, get a clue!
And not funding Obamacare will be the greatest thing this Congress will ever do! Even the IRS workers don't want to be a part of this travesty. Even the idiots that wrote the law, are scared they are going to lose their best staff employees over it.
Amazing how it's good for everyone else, but not government workers!
DeMint, Cruz and Lee are the heroes of this world! I only wish our Senators, RINO;s both, would follow suit with these Senators and get back bones!
So this paid advertisement allows comments but the Team Jackroids one below does not? Why is that?
The twenty somethings hanging out in Fondren are all for Obamacare. They don't know why. They just are.
6:16 pm these guys are using the threat of government shut down ( not funding the government) to get their way.
Did you miss how it was we lost our bond rating? Do you know what that's costing taxpayers?
They vote against anything and everything no matter how inane. Can't get minor appointees approved.
Instead of attacking the budget rationally by eliminating fat, we have sequestration but which is cutting essential functions and non-essential functions as if they were the same.
They don't believe in the balance of power as they've done everything possible to weaken the office of the Presidency and if the court doesn't rule as they like, they look for ways to do end runs.Of course, it's not the Presidency, it's this President but they don't get the long term effects.
They don't believe in a democracy , they believe in their point of view and to hell with the70% who don't see it their way. Instead of trying to persuade the public, they obstruct.They name call and shout rather than debate facts.
They miss that they are to protect the liberties of all, not just those who voted for them.
They aren't smart enough to have suggested ways to improve bills or deal with sections they find problematic, they want to throw out the baby with the bathwater. Only an idiot would be against the reducing the stranglehold the insurance companies have on healthcare ( have you missed the BCBS lawsuit in MS? And, do you understand BCBS in other states aren't doing what OUR BCBS jerks are doing?) but they want to throw out all those sections as well.
God save the world from extremists and fanatics...none of whom seem to be able to face that they are who just don't see that unless you respect the views of others and try to accomodate those views so that all can live together peacefully, you are extreme.
Barackady Obamanov loves the young ones. When they one day realize the economic screwing they've received it will already be too late. And now their leader wants to make war. LMAO
7:38 a.m., you're spot on in your comments, but I wouldn't hold my breath on getting through to 6:16 p.m. He's obviously a True Believer who in all likelihood is a lost cause. My experience has been that it is impossible to reason with irrational people.
I would put the percentage number of people like Sen. Cruz more like 20 percent than 30 as your comment suggests. The hard core Tea Party adherents have been declining in number for awhile now.
Anybody who uses the term 'spot on' is a friggin' dunce.
My beef with DeMint is not about legislative policy but about candidate recruitment. His GOP candidate recruits in 2010 and 2012 lost the GOP good winnable seats by nominating unelectable flake candidates instead of moderate winners in blue states. Because of him, the GOP doesnt hold the Senate today.
2:24 pm has a problem with using the phrase " spot on" but not with using the word " friggin'"? ROFL
Like the guys said, Demint will be perfect for that audience.
Let's be clear. Sen. DeMint is for fully funding the government, just not for funding Obamacare.
The same world leader who referred to Petraeus as General Betray-us referred to Dement as Dementia. Her name is Hillary Clinton. That's good enough to tell me I need to carefully consider what he says.
Jim DeMint is as responsible as anyone for Majority Leader Harry Reid -- and he has quickly turned Heritage from one of the the nation's premier think tanks into just another annoying Tea Party group.
Donkeycrats never listen.
Colorado: Colorado Senate President John Morse, state Sen. Angela Giron ousted
An epic national debate over gun rights in Colorado on Tuesday saw two Democratic state senators ousted for their support for stricter laws, a "ready, aim, fired" message intended to stop other politicians for pushing for firearms restrictions. Senate President John Morse and Sen. Angela Giron will be replaced in office with Republican candidates who petitioned onto the recall ballot.
Stupid Donkeycrats. Stupid, stupid Donkeycrats.
Stupid RINOs too!
On this date just over a decade ago now, we were united as Americans. We weren't Republicans or Democrats or Libertarians or anything else other than Americans first.
We are more focused today on hating each other than on real enemies and threats to our Nation.
Those who died in the WTC were as diverse in beliefs and race as our Nation. We did not look at them as other than being one of us.
Those who have continued to divide us and refuse to work with their fellow Americans to solve the problems facing this Nation dishonor the memory of not just those who died on Sept 11th but those who have died since in Afghanistan and Iraq and in other parts of the world throughout the history of this Nation defending us.
If you are one who shouts and ferments internal discord rather than listens and reasons, then if you want to see what the biggest threat is to our Nation, look in the mirror.
Mr. DeMint should look in the mirror.
YAWN ... Sssnnnnoooorrrreeee
