__________________________________
Mr. DeMint announced on Dec. 6 that he would leave two years into his second Senate term to run the Heritage Foundation, a conservative research group in Washington. He attended the announcement at the Statehouse in Columbia and praised Mr. Scott.
I can walk away from the Senate knowing that someone is in this seat that is better than I am that will carry the voice of opportunity conservatism to the whole country in a way that I couldnt do, Mr. DeMint said.

Governor Nikki Haley is conservative, a woman. Would like to see her or Palin run. Here in blue next to Palin (both hot imo too)

What’d be nice would be if she could proactively replace that asshat Graham. How does the same electorate that elects Jim Demint elect that guy?

I don’t think Linda Graham would like you calling her a “guy”.

The US Senate Democrats do not have one Black Man in its chambers.
Democrats are racist, intolerant, just one big Old White Man's Club.

Governor Nikki Haley is conservative, a woman who backed Romney for the nomination when there were still plenty of viable conservative alternative candidates.
Just saying. Palin has done the same.

Again, for those tuning in late, Linseed lied to conservatives in order to be elected the first time. Won re-election in 2008 in spite of organized S.C. conservatives efforts not to touch the straight-party vote button. But Palin was so popular here in 2008...and still is...that enough voters DID vote straight GOP ticket after enough Dems had crossed over to vote for Linseed in the primary election.

“Governor Nikki Haley is conservative, a woman”
She is a RINO who did some big time Romney ass kissing trying to carry the state for him. Newt handed him his lunch, beating him by double digits in the state.
My brother has lived outside Charleston for 45 years. He tells me Haley is not liked by other republican lawmakers and basically goes on a lot of vacations.

Jim DeMint is a class act from the get go. How I wish we had more political leaders like him. How I wish even more that we had more constituents like those in his state to elect people like him.
All my best wishes to soon-to-be Senator Tim Scott. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sen. DeMint let him take his seat a few days earlier just to get a leg up on seniority.

I wish DeMint wouldn't have put himself down the way he did in his statement...not once, but twice.
This was really uncomfortable to read from someone I admire.

Nikki Haley is conservative. Sarah Palin campaigned with Nikki and for her. Nikki was a tea party candidate.

Well, he's just acknowledging reality - as a white male member of the privileged elite racist WASPy warmongering woman-hating Wall Street-loving class, 90% of what he says is automatically disregarded by a lot of voters the GOP message needs to reach.
Maybe Scott will only be disregarded by 85%...
