Sen. Jim DeMint Tells Glenn Beck Why He Resigned: ‘We’re Not Going to Win Things in Washington Until…’

Glenn Beck Interviews Senator Jim DeMint Over Resignation, President of Heritage Foundation

(Photo: AP)

U.S. Senator Jim DeMint, one of the strongest conservatives in Congress, announced this week that he will be resigning his seat in January to become the president of the Heritage Foundation.

As Republicans appear to be caving more and more to the demands of their political opponents, many have been wondering why DeMint chose this moment to leave.

“We’re not going to win things in Washington until we win the hearts and minds of the people,” the senator explained to Glenn Beck on radio this morning. In many ways, this is an opportunity for the senator to become even more influential, he says.

DeMint continued: “Republicans are not reliable communicators. The Heritage Foundation has that base of great ideas, can showcase where conservative ideas are working…This is an opportunity for me to take my game to the next level.”

When Beck expressed support for DeMint’s ambitions, the senator said Beck can be a “huge help,” and has already begun to “convince good people by doing good things.”

“The Heritage foundation puts me in a situation where I don’t have to be an apologist for a political party, we can be advocates for what really works,” he elaborated.

One of DeMint’s biggest frustrations is that– as the election made clear– many Americans believe the Democrat Party will serve their interests better than the Republicans.

“It makes me want to pull my hair out, because you can see in state after state how liberal policies [drive people out of business],” he lamented.

“I just realized that we’re not going to do anything positive at the federal level for the next four years,” he concluded, “but we need to be ready when these policies bring the country to its knees, with policies that really work.”

But how, exactly, are they going to accomplish that?

“What we need to do is not try to be the end-all for conservatives, but help facilitate, bring together coalitions, raise up success stories, and communication,” DeMint told Beck, continuing, “which you’re a big part of…”

Beck responded: “I would love to sit down with you ASAP because I have not only ideas on the media, but also coalition-building. I really believe that there is a new way to look at things and to move that will change the dynamics entirely.”

The two briefly discussed who will replace the senator, but DeMint remained tight-lipped about his preference.

In the end, he said, “We’ll never have the numbers if we don’t have the principles first.”

Discussing the fiscal cliff, DeMint remarked: “Glenn, we have to separate what they consider political realities or political expediency from what our country really needs. What the president has been talking about is neither a plan nor a solution.”

DeMint noted that the proposed tax revenue is just a “drop in the bucket” of our national debt, and it will likely cost countless people their jobs.

“The idea that, if we take more money out of our economy and give it to incompetent, wasteful politicians [to solve the crisis] is completely irrational,” he said with disappointment.

From there, the two proceeded to discuss the ever-developing situation in Egypt. Beck noted that we were eager to help the protesters during the “Arab Spring,” though it led to an Islamist-dominated government, but we’re silent today.

““It makes me want to pull my hair out, because you can see in state after state how liberal policies [drive people out of business],” he lamented.”
Well maybe you’re just wrong–conservatives are being rejected, and DeMint comes to he conclusion that what people want is MORE conservatism. Maybe that’s what YOU and your cadre of closeted fascists want DeMint, but most of America recognizes your inane ******** for what it is, and want’s to pursue policies that will actually BENEFIT our country. If you want to keep being a destructuve obstructionist that’s fine–go stand and piss yourself in the corner while REAL work gets done. What a waste of flesh and blood people like DeMint are.

  The nonliberal, progressive democrats want perpetual welfare. The nonconservative, progressive republicans want perpetual warfare. You give us Josef Stalin and the Soviet Union. They give us Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. You both suck. Both of you were rejected in November. A two percent margin of victory and a very low voter turnout because BOTH candidates were identical. BOTH progressive, totalitarians were rejected. This wont be settled at the ballot box or in a court of law. The democrat party is now the communist party USA and the republican party is now the fascist party USA and everyone that’s paying attention knows it.

  As the “smart people” know, liberalism does NOT work. It creates a system where all can eventually be slaves to the political class. Government controls all and knows all. Everyone is dependent. Congratulations America, you listened to the “smart people” and got the government you deserve.

  Beside it’s not the Welfare Recipients destroying America. It is the fact that it cost US Tax Payers $80,000 to pay out just one Welfare Recipient’s $12,000 a year entitlement. $80,000 to pay $12,000, nobody see a problem with that.

  Demint is leaving because nothing can be done within the house or senate. With traitors at the helm in both cases. John Boehner and McConnell must be removed. John McCain, musgt be remove along with the other traitors. just go down the list of people who pushed the NDAA and you will see who needs to be gone. Demint knows it won’t ever get fixed so he is leaving the ship before it sinks below the waterline.

  @The Third Archon
  
  Let’s stop the bus for a second Archon… just because Obama won and many promising (conservative) Republican candidates lost this last election doesn’t mean the country is turning it’s back on conservatism. (which happens to STILL be the largest single political ideology in the country according to gallup)
  
  What this election said was, in the most basic of senses is that – scary as it is to some of us – more people liked Obama over Romney. It also shows that the Republican base wasn’t thrilled with Romney enough to turn out enough to vote for him.
  
  Look at the presidential win alone – the popular vote was split pretty much even. (give or take a couple million votes) That shows that the country is still just as divided the day after the election as it was the day before the election.
  
  Speaking of specific candidates that lost? (West, Brown, etc) Those were targeted races that Republican’s lost. It doesn’t reflect the larger picture of the country.
  
  Setting the notion of “stealing elections” aside for a moment. If anything, as much as it pains me to say it, my hat goes off to the Democrat election teams. They ran a better campaign that the Republican’s. And we all will suffer for it.

The gov is supposed to work for the tax-paying citizens, not the other way around. We don’t work for them and it’s time we remind them of that! The Constitution is the rule of the land & we must strip away everything the gov is doing that does not comply. PERIOD! The states are sovereign & must remain so.

  Did you READ the entire article??? WHERE did it say that he believes ‘people want more conservatism’? He said exactly the OPPOSITE, and of course, the election confirms that the majority of people think the Democrats have the answer. The problem, which DeMint stated, is that most people are not very fluent on economic matters and don’t have any idea the problems they will have created by taking money from taxpayers to give to a federal government that is not only incompetent and inefficient but, also, based on some actions, seems pretty corrupt.

  It is too late to save our country. Because of the mind set of liberal progressives and those who want the republican party to compromise and others who hate conservative values, this country is meeting a mighty judgment hand of God. Regan was the last chance to turn the country around. Since then, the minds of the people have deterioritated and have gotten continually reprobate. Actually, the whole world is under a great horrible catastrophes coming to everybody who shakes their fist at God and blasmphemes and loves evil. Evil is called good, and good is called evil. To me, judgement can’t come fast enough.

  Republicans didn’t lose because “they aren’t good communicators.” Look at Allen West – he communicates just fine. Republicans lost because their message of supporting the top 2% of America at the expense of their constituents’ best interests was heard loud and clear. They lost because women and minorities heard their message.
  
  The smart Republicans realize that now and moving forward the tune they’re singing has less and less popular appeal, particularly the anti-Christian message that anyone who is poor is a bum and a moocher (try to find that message in the Bible).
  
  The problem for Republicans is that the not-so-smart ones, which is most of them, are in denial about why they lost.

  Real work? No budget since Obama took office, even when the dems controlled both the house and the senate. They are too busy covering up their mistakes, Benghazi for example, to do a thing to help the middle class who they claim to do everything for. They have taken more and more of our freedom to give people stuff. I fear for the future of our country now that the Obama phone generation is here.

  It’s about destroying this country, so they can send the feds in to look like the hero, when they are actually the cause of the problem, it’s time to ged rid of all of them an start over.
  
  Believe me I hate freeloading bums as much as the next huy, but these people are an easy mark for the feds, they are to stupid to realize that nothing is for free.
  
  In the end the bums, hippies and freeloaders are the best ones for these morons to target. They just have no sense of worth, and that makes them sheep of the feds.

  It’s actually not a Democrat/Republican problem, it’s an ingrained process in Washington. Unless the House, Senate & President are all replaced with new people who’s primary objective is to represent the American people, rather than feather their own nests, America will continue to decline into 3rd world status.
  
  Although comparing monkeys to politicians is an insult to the monkeys, the link below shows why it will take a complete replacement of our political leaders to save our country.

  The only thing to seems to resonate with many Americans is “what’s in it for me?”, instead of what is for the Common Good. Most Americans are not virtuous because they spend a majority of their free time in fitness clubs and watching Reality TV instead of working how to be more honest, humble, self sacrificing, etc.

I have lost all respect for Jim DeMint. Like going to work for a think tank is really going to change America. If he really wanted to change things, he could stay in the Senate and block every vote for the next four years using the filibuster, but that would actually require him to take a stand. I guess Conservatives don’t care about fighting to save this country as much as Liberals care about fighting to destroy it.

  to LTB (about DeMint staying in the Senate): Boehner has marginalized true conservatives, punishing them for truly representing those who elected them by booting them off of their favored committee assignments & keeping them out of leadership. I’d say DeMint sees the writing on the wall. We should, too. The Republican party holds nothing for us– party hacks interested in business as usual. You don’t see that?

  I am sorry, Sen. DeMint, but Harry Reid is a HUGE problem. I can have “friends” that I disagree with, but Harry Reid is hell bent on the destruction of the country and the Constitution. People like Harry Reid are my enemy. I took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, and I will do just that.
  
  I used to have a lot of respect for Sen. DeMint, but now the Republican Party will not see another dime from me, and either will Heritage.

  BookMDanno, it doesn’t matter if Boehner has marginalized Conservatives, Senators are powerful people. One Senator could block every judicial nominee that Obama puts up over the next four years and every piece of liberal legislation by using the filibuster. It just takes someone with enough guts to tell the establishment Republicans to go to Hell and obviously that man is not Jim DeMint. I do agree that it’s time for a third party; however, if the Supreme Court tries to tell states like Texas that men must be able to marry other men, I don’t think we’ll need a third party, because that could be the thing that finally motivates southern Conservatives to seriously consider secession.

Well DeMint is right about winning hearts and minds in order to change the way people think about responsibilities in this country but good luck. Considering the progressives have been busy destroying basic beliefs and the principles on which this was founded since Woodrow Wilson was president 100 years ago, I’d say the task of winning hearts and minds is going to take a while.

  John Free you are right about that, although it has nothing to do with either party. They are both playing a huge role in destroying this country.
  
  It has been going on since the new deal gave way to socialistic thinking, and that thought that those who don’t want to work should have all of the hard working people pave that way for them to sit on their asses and draw on money that the government steals form the people.
  
  It’s not a republican, or democrat thing, and obviously dumbing down the people works well. People do listen to the crap that comes out of Al Gore’s mouth, none of which as been proven.
  
  People want the handouts, and they don’t care if it destroys the country for the rest of the people in it as long as the have a free ride.
  
  Think about it, what do you think a union does once a person has tenured in it. The union will make sure that for no reason the company can fire that particular employee.
  
  There was an instance on the east coast where a teacher was caught spying on the girls locker rooms, but the school could not fire him because of the teachers union, he kept his salary and was dmoted to janitor. Those are the sad facts of hoe things have been working for a long ime in this country.
  
  Utill the people grow the balls to fix the issue it will only get worse, and it has nothing to do with Satan, and eveything to do with lazy people.

Jim DeMint has long been a proponent of Congressional term limits and has long said that he would retire before running for a third term. Read his books! In fact, he almost didn’t run for a second term. This comes as little surprise. Strategically it makes tremendous sense. This way, his successor is chosen by the leader of his State, which is as close as we are going to get to how it was before the 17th Amendment was passed. You can bet he sat down with Gov. Haley before he made his announcement and made a pact with her about who would be selected. If he punched out at the end of his term, it would be leaving way too much up to chance. This way, he will very likely be replaced by the best possible choice to fill his shoes and still be able to go do what he really wants to do, over at Heritage, which is change the Senate. His Senate Conservatives Fund has been tremendously successful at identifying real conservatives and helping them win primaries and then get elected to the Senate. I strongly recommend that if any of you folks want to see him succeed with this goal, donate to the SCF monthly from now until forever.

And I guarantee you this has absof**kinglutely nothing to do with the money. That’s GOT to be a joke, right? If those of you who believe that only really understood how incredibly stupid you sound, you’d run hide under the rock you crawled out from under and never come out again.

  barber2 DISSECTED…
  
  CONFUSING:
  “Let’s Have a Revolution”
  QUESTION:
  Who said anything about a “revolution?” Typically, when republican/democrat (same thing) propagandists cannot successfully criticize comments, they will exaggerate, or completely rewrite them, in order to smear their targets.
  
  ALINSKYITE SMEARING:
  “Please go back to the Lefty NYT”
  ALINSKYITE SMEARING OBJECTIVE:
  Fake-conservative republicans can NEVER successfully smear Constitutional Libertarian Tea Partiers, so they attempt to falsely reposition them as democrats or “libs.”
  
  CORRECT:
  “where you guys preached this mess back in 2008″
  TRUTH:
  Yes, I myself, voted for Constitutionalist Christian Chuck Baldwin, who was the 2008 Constitution Party candidate (Ron Paul endorsed). I pleaded with others to do the same, but too many were weak, tricked by the republican propagandists and voted for ANOTHER “better evil”… leftist John McCain… thus ELECTING Barry Soetoro. Same republican “better evil” scam used to REELECT Soetoro in 2012!
  
  MORE ALINKYITE SMEARING:
  “Hearing from your Black Bloc buddies ??”
  MORE ALINKYITE SMEARING OBJECTIVE:
  When using the tactic of falsely redefining their target, republican Alinkyites pull advice from Joseph Goebbels (Nazi propagandist)… and repeat, repeat, repeat – ALTHOUGH very careful (Alinsky Rule) to make each repeat different, so as to MASK the repetition.

  We’re too busy working for a living to get “it”….
  
  But there’s less and less of us every day. It’s as simple as that and that’s why the left is winning at this game. They are the monkey on our backs. The monkey will be shaken off when there is nothing left to give.

  As someone said, it’s hard to compete with Santa Clause. That being said, conservatives haven’t had true leadership since Reagan and maybe Gingrich. They tried to destroy Reagan but he was too big for them. They destroyed Gingrich and have destroyed anyone else that resembles a true conservative before they even get out of the starting gates. The republic is over. Free bread and entertainment has won. The dumbing down of the population through the school system has finally succeeded. Who does DeMint think he’s fooling with his $1M salary and “winning hearts and minds” talk? Beck seems to be lapping it up. $16T in debt and no end in sight. Anyone thinking this will be fixed without the shedding of blood is delusional. Nowhere in history has anything like this ended well.

  Apparently you are not aware of the history of our country. The troops have fired on citizens and will do so in the future as well. The citizens will be labeled terrorists and the troops will enjoy “taking out the bad guys.” If not the military, than the militarized FBI, ATF, DEA and every other agency with a swat team to include the dept of education. They love to kill civilians. The police depts kill more and more of your fellow citizens everyday. It is a sad but true fact. Unless the “Oath Keepers” are will to prevent the non-oath keeper members of the military and police forces from attacking civilians and stealing arms, then they are no good. In Katrina some oath keepers refused orders to confiscate arms, but they allowed other units to do so, so it didn’t make a difference.

I guess that someone here doesn’t know that there is a dedicated following of our armed forces who are OathKeepers and who know about a piece of legislation called the Posse Commitatus Act of 1878. We will not be political pawns. The government has NO AUTHORITY to use troops against the citizenry of which it is comprised. Not even to maintain order or peace in an emergency. It just doesn’t exist and for good reason. Oh, and any military member who acts on orders to the contrary is violating his oath and deserves to die a traitor’s death. Because that is what he is. Make no mistake, the military will not be used against our own population without the division of and infighting between the military itself.

U.S. Army intervention

At 4:45 p.m., commanded by Gen. Douglas MacArthur, the 12th Infantry Regiment, Fort Howard, Maryland, and the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, supported by six battle tanks commanded by Maj. George S. Patton, formed in Pennsylvania Avenue while thousands of civil service employees left work to line the street and watch. The Bonus Marchers, believing the troops were marching in their honor, cheered the troops until Patton ordered the cavalry to charge them
Shacks that members of the Bonus Army erected on the Anacostia Flats burning after the confrontation with the military.
After the cavalry charged, the infantry, with fixed bayonets and adamsite gas, an arsenic vomiting agent, entered the camps.

  Except that the military attack on “The Bonus Marchers” (though disgusting in my opinion) was a legal act as it did NOT prohibited by the Posse Commitatus Act of 1878. That is if I’m reading this paragraph correctly:
  
  “In 1781, most of the Continental Army was demobilized without pay. Two years later, hundreds of Pennsylvania war veterans marched on Philadelphia, then the capital, surrounded the State House where the U.S. Congress was in session, and demanded their pay. Congress fled to Princeton, New Jersey, and several weeks later, the U.S. Army expelled the war veterans from the national capital. In response to that experience, the federal district directly governed by the U.S. Congress, Washington, D.C., was EXCLUDED from the restrictions of the Posse Comitatus Act which forbade the use of the U.S. military for domestic police activity.”
  
  I realize the paragraph I cited occured almost 100 years rarlier…but it does not seem to have been directly addressed and/or rescinded in 1878.

  if they can rescind it when they feel like it, it isn’t much of a protection. Just more proof you can’t trust the military or police to do the right thing when the SHTF. Don’t participate in mass protests, it just make you easier to kill and or round up for camp.

Mr. DEMINT, I wish you well. Americans who defend our Constutution and Bill of Rights, have no major party to represent them. It is time to establish a new party of patriots, who will make a showing at election time. Both the Democrat and the Republican parties have the same goals, which is the reason for the falling out of the voters during the past 15 years, starting with Bush Sr. If we continue on the same course, we will continue to lose our status as a nation. That is one of the reasons for the surge in arms purchases. Again, good luck, but you had better hurry to get where you want to go!

  Ron Paul was great at building bridges…
  
  He built bridges (and bridges of thought with) with Barney Frank (drug legalization/slashing Military preparedness/dismantling the Military), George Soros (Sustainable Defense Task Force), Cynthia McKinney, Ralph Nader, Bernie Sanders, Radical Islam, Rearend Wright, Calypso Louis Farrakhan, Palestinians, Iran and Iranian TV, Russian TV, Truthers, 9/11 (and other) conspiracy theorists, blame America firsters, explicit racists, anti-Semites, anarchists and anarcho-capitalists, Isolationists, Julian Assange and Bradley Manning, incendiary anti-war/Military groups (including disgraced and dishonored Vets)…
  
  Just to name a few. The list goes on and on and on….

  the military is a bastion of wasted resources and you know it. It is being dismantled anyway, has been since clinton. Drug use is not the governments business just as how much salt we put on our food or sugar we want to eat is not in the government’s authority. Most of the societal troubles associated with drug use are results of the government attacks and not on the drugs themselves.

  TIME_2_END_THE_PAUL_CAMPAIGN_IN_12 what kind of nonsense are you babbling about? That Ron Paul agreed with Frank on allowing adults to put whatever they want into their own bodies? As if supporting that one thing means he believes everything else Frank supports? That one issue is consistent with liberty. Maybe a statist such as yourself might have a problem with that, but it is consistent with libertarian thought.
  
  So you think the government should be able to tell individuals what they can and can’t consume? It’s OK to become drunk on alcohol but not high from pot? What, because you said so?
  
  And the nonsensical statement “dismantling of the military”? When did he propose that? I suppose any reduction maintaining global policing, hundreds of bases around the world, or avoiding boondoggles like Iraq can be absurdly construed as “dismantling of the military”, the great irony being that here we talk about how broke our government is and to a great degree due to this foreign policy that we currently have and you will still support it.
  
  You think your are some sort of conservative and really don’t understand what the hell you believe. You are a statist, and you only differ with progressives in where you want government growth to occur and where you want them to intrude in our lives. People like yourself believe in the same premises as the progressives and other collectivists and you are just as much a part of the problem as they are.

  That’s not what you’re saying is it AL? Oh… and BS on the continued circle-jerk freedom argument of drug legalization. It kills kids like abortion and that dog doesn’t hunt.

  KISHNA. I’ll throw you a bone so you can’t come back and say that I was copping out on an answer. If you think Ron Paul’s ANLY assocation with Bawney Fwank was on drug legalizaton you’re either cluless or being disingenuous. In July 2010, Barney Frank and Ron Paul co-authored a [Huffington Post article] rolling out their Sustainable Defense Task Force. The Task Force “consisting of experts on Military expenditures that span the ideological spectrum” would recommend a trillion dollars in defense cuts. The experts, however, didn’t quite “span the ideological spectrum”… more like float under it. And that’s where George Soros comes in.

  You know…. that “involuntary servitude” thingy that they all (and Paul) rail against (except where Blacks/slaves were concerned I guess, lol).
  
  Now, if your mentor Ron Paul is so anti-collectivist… why didn’t he volunteer for the war instead of going along with the collectivist draft? Or was / is he just a go along to get along kind of guy… the kind he railed against in the debates? Did he not have the balls to stand up for what he believed in and pull an Ali on America? Or was he just blowing smoke up evryone’s rectums in the long run. Paul was, is and always will a coward. Ali seemed to have more balls than your faux founder impersonator and Ali was a coward too in my eyes. So that makes Ron Paul’s balls look the size of gnat balls doesn’t it?

  TIME_2_END_THE_PAUL_CAMPAIGN_IN_12 How is it that people such as yourselves can rationally use the word “isolationist” to describe a policy that says we don’t interfere in the affairs of other countries? Do you even know what the word means? What is “isolating” about not butting in to business that is not yours? If I refrain from kicking my neighbors door because I don’t agree with how he raises his family, I’m engaging in isolation of some sort?
  
  So, because Switzerland doesn’t get involved in the affairs of other countries, does it practice isolationism? Does China practice isolationism? Or how about Canada? Tell me. Also, tell me, why if you are a conservative and you supposedly believe that government doesn’t fix the things it intervenes in, how is it that that same practice on an international scale will yield different results than nationally?
  
  I’ll give you something for free: knowledge. What you describe is “non-interventionism”. Isolationism is what a country like North Korea practices, or Japan in the 18th century.
  
  I know, it’s really hard to grasp that concept and so much easier to just utter a mindless slogan.

Demint knows there will be a battle within the republican party, and he doesnt want to have to make the tough decisions. Seems like there will be LESS opportunity to get the message out as head of a think tank.

This also makes it very more likely Lindsey Graham will win his primary challenge

I trust most of our military 100% to stand with the citizens, but look at how half this country voted. It is only a matter of time now before we see Americans acting just like these third-world countries, simply because we have let their ilk infiltrate our culture. They aren’t here for the same reasons as our ancestors.

  Actually I’m concerned that the Oathkeepers site is nothing but an easy way for the fed to target subversives. I mean all they do is have you sign an internet pledge.

This is quite simple, The Republican party has to ditch the progressives which comprise the leadership of the party then, as Demint says get somebody who can communicate! Conservative also need a plan. Progressives were very patient, the slowly took over the schools, the media,the govt., the society. We need a plan to work conservative values back into these areas and break the stranglehold.

  the big question is , who do you trust ? in my book , actions speak louder than words . if obama is willing to submit the state of arizona to the will of the u.n. world dribunal about civil right(illegal entrants ) then he is probably not against the use of u.n. peace keeping troops on usa soil to quell any unrullyness of his subjects . if obama tells the russian to wait till after the election so he can have more flexability on our national securtiy requirements , then he now has the room to talk . if for 4 yrs the truth about fast and furious are kept hidden then law and order do not mean much to the administration . if our ambassador to lybia is killed by al quida after the ambassador requested help from the commander – in chief and was denied 3 times , then there is no respect for our men and women who serve the nation . if the administration thru different units – hls , doa , parks , etc. purchases over 1 billion rounds of hollow tip bullets it is to be expected that they are not all going to be used for snipe hunting . if the peacetime martial law is set into motion , then it can be understood that even though the edict states that the secratery would be the decider , then the czars that were apointed by obama would over rule and decisions put forth by those secrateries , the czars have not been vetted by congress , yet have more authority than anyone but ,obama . the haarp machine was used to bring about the drought and can be used to cause earthquakes. enough for now.

  It’s a legitimate question. Senators and Congressman make I believe $170k/year. If Demint is taking a handsome pay raise to take this position, it opens him up to criticism that he’s not so much doing this for the good of the country; he’s doing it for his pocketbook.
  
  His free choice, no problem there, just don’t tell me it’s something it’s not. Don’t tell me you’re being a patriot giving up your bully pulpit in the Senate to make, say, 10 times that at Heritage and it’s because you want to get the conservative message out.

Jim DeMint sounds like one of the good guys.
But if he starts hawking for Jeb Bush or Chris Christie
I’m done listening to him.
If You’re Conservative First I’m with ya. If You’re Republican First.
Not listening anymore.
Republicans have been telling us how great it would be if only they
were in charge since Richard Nixon.(Progressive Repub)
With the exception of 8 years of Ronald Reagan.
You’re either for cutting spending an srinking Government.
or you’re not.No more Moderate Progressives need Apply.

  Yeah I agree, but peole need to quit listening to both sides, and use their own brains, They are trying to kill this country and it’s woring like a charm.
  
  They have tv to keep making the people take their eye off of the ball, people need to quit listening to the lie platform when these idiots run for office, and look in to their background to make a decision.
  
  Obama flat lied to the people. H has never proven that he should be the presiednt of this country by doing even the least American act, and never will because he is not an American.

My opinion;

Conservatives will never win the White House until they defeat the Media … including FOX.

Once they do that, defeating the Liberals will be a piece of cake.

  Boy you guys are just full of great ideas. You’re right, the media has the power. You want to defeat the liberal media? Buy out the owners, clean house and reboot. Pretty simple, just need a ton of money, lots of organization, a plan, and time to work the plan.

In order to make ANY changes in people’s “hearts and minds”……you NEED to out think the devil…. who is controlling Washington DC with Communist persuasion.

This has been going on for the past 40 years per design.

  Just have Beck hold another Restore something rally! As long as you purchase a pair of his $129.99 blue jeans you all are welcome. Maybe Glenn will bring that jar of urine with him and you all can cheer like crazy! Face it the middle aged redneck white boy party is dying out.

Frankly, I think they all need to turn in their office keys to Obama and let him destroy the country. He’s going to do it anyway…………………not much any of us can do now that the uninformed Obamabots handed him the reigns for another 4 years. Sad part is they aren’t going to get what they voted for, and we’ll all be left with the mess.

Don’t know much about Demint, but I don’t blame him. Surprised more haven’t done it. The whole house of cards is going to come tumbling down pretty soon.

We need to stop preaching to the choir. We need to go out and convert 15 million Americans to the IDEA of limited government conservatism. And that can’t be done in the political arena, it can only be done culturally. Politics is downstream of culture.

Yep, he saw the writing on the wall and that he was going to accomplish nothing by staying in the senate for another two years. I agree with his decision and he’s my senator.

Conservatism in the American political system is dead. The only way to revive it is like he said, from the outside to the inside. Boehner finished it off.

  He claims he has good ideas, that he is a leader, he’s leaving, after all, to head an intellectual organization. I ask for examples of the man’s intellect and leadership. I am, however, impressed that you responded without one reference to assassination or murder. That’s a step for you.

  I will add ‘communist’ to the list of words your posts prove you don’t understand.
