Real Conservative Bump!

"These candidates rush over to the right during the primaries, and then tack to the middle in the general election," complains Richard A. Viguerie, the longtime conservative direct-mail guru. "That's what ruling-class Republicans do. We're not interested in somebody who says, ‘I'm opposed to increased taxes.' That's all rhetoric. Government has gotten too big. If you don't want to roll it back, you're part of the problem."

And then you've got the current crop of Republicans in the House of Representatives who stayed conservative in the general election, won on their conservative stands, and then went on to defund... NOTHING!

[Reagan Disciple]

This guy gets my vote over everyone. No question.

[Reagan Man]

DeMint has a solid conservative voting record in the Senate. But he’s no Ronald Reagan. And his support for Romney in 2008 raises questions of his judgment and how principled his conservatism really is.

The big question is. Can DeMint find that fire in the belly needed to keep him viable over the long stretch of a national presidential campaign? I think not.

And just to set the record straight. Back in the 1980`s people like Paul Weyrich, Howard Philips and Richard Viguerie joined Ron Paul in denouncing Reagan’s agenda and opposed many of his policies. Attacking Reagan as a sell out to the conservative cause.

I generally would prefer a governor over a legislator, but I’d make an exception for DeMint. Instead of silly possibilities like Trump or Rudy, I wish they’d do a poll with DeMint as a hypothetical candidate. I’d guess he’d be in first place by a large margin, and that might help persuade him to consider a run.

Isn’t Jim a Senator? We have just been told that Senators are no good.

Hm. Maybe. I think there’s a better match out there, but it’s considered fanboyish to say so.
