Look, DeMint’s problem is lack of foxhole buddies. There are no citizen representatives, but only career opportunists that you and I have kept in office. We don’t run against entrenched RINO’s, so they stay under a rock while the dems are in power and feel no obligation whatsoever to oppose the loss of our representative government. The republicans are NOT representing us either. We’ve been had, and in many ways, by Bush also. For example, $60 Billion to abortion between 2002-2008, and that’s so against the Hyde Ammendment law.

That’s where a *real* leader would show his stuff and cobble together some of his own. You think a Ronald Reagan wouldn’t be able to whip ten (R)s into line to support needed legislation?
We've done it too ourselves because our voters are so uninformed. And the Bush problem goes all the way back to Prescott Bush, whom Bill Clinton skillfully "praised" in the 1992 debate so that the first Bush felt compelled to agree with. I am not even sure that the first Bush knew about his father's Senate record. He seemed so surprised in that "debate."
