Jim DeMint Tells ‘Real News’ Panel He Is ‘Glad We Dispelled the Myth’ That ‘Tea Partiers Won’t Support Romney’

S.E. Cupp and the Blaze panel sat down with Senator Jim DeMint during Thursday’s “Real News From The Blaze” to discuss the 2012 election, particularly Romney’s success with Tea Partiers in the Florida Primary.  Of Romney, DeMint said, “he showed that he could stand tough” in Florida and “that’s what made the difference in my mind.”

“I‘m glad we dispelled this myth that Tea Partiers won’t support Romney.”

When asked if he thinks the Tea Party’s credibility will be tested this election, DeMint suggested that there is no one candidate that fits the Tea Party because the Tea Party comprises so many different small groups around the country — from Libertarians to disaffected Democrats to conservatives and Independents.

    I hope all you Newbies to Political Observation and Activism are getting this. Just because you “discovered” and thought you “learned” from Glenn Beck in the past couple years, doesn’t mean that ANYTHING has changed in our Federal Electoral process – technically or ideologically. You only THINK that your voice and attendance at rallies matters. You’ve been lied to and deceived. Sorry to be the one to break it to you. (Actually, I’m not sorry one bit.) Your voice is meaningless. Deal with it (or don’t, no one cares).

      good stuff….

      The truth has no agenda…. Soros says Romney and Obama are the same thing but Glenn doesn’t report that.. If Soros said he wanted Gingrich to be president and he would be the same as Obama, Glenn’s head would pop off, Pat would tear off his shirt and Stu would poop his pants and rub it on his face.

      Soros Endorses Gingrich would be the Headlines for the next 6 months….. Glenn would release 5 new books and a new Line of Clothes 1/31/2012 the Date that the article came out.

      Agreed.

      But I’ll go further, and say that they triumphed about 100 years ago.

      What is so downright sad to watch is s’nnelG transformation from a guy who was all about the founders and the Bill of Rights, to a guy who forgets everything he stood for.

      Have you noticed how nnelG never personally calls out the candidates on their views of the NDAA and the Patriot Act?

      Remember when nnelG used to call Ron Paul the most Constitutional guy in congress?

      I sure do miss the old nnelG that I used to admire…..

      I responded to the following by saying I agree, but I need to qualify something:

      “The Collective has triumphed over the Individual in America. Unlike Glenn Beck, I’m, not going to exploit that fact for personal gain.”

      I very much agree that the Collective has triumphed over the Individual in America, but I inadvertently pasted the subsequent sentence with it. This definitely suggests that I agree with the accusation made.

      I apologize for this, as it is not my view that Glenn’s reporting on the assault on our liberties can even be exploitative. Making money the way Glenn does is legitimate.

      Nobody is entitled to knowledge, and if someone wants to make money by providing it, there’s nothing wrong with that. We can try and find such knowledge elsewhere, if we want, but we come here, to The Blaze, knowing that it will make Glenn money. It’s a voluntary exchange – nothing to be complaining about.

      Newt supported TARP, Newt supported global warming (with Nancy Pelosi which makes it even worse), Newt supported Carbon Credits, Newt PRAISED and supported Romneycare, Newt is the only candidate to insinuate that an individual healthcare mandate should be on a federal level, Newt voted for 4 debt ceiling increases, He cosponsored the 1987 Fairness doctorine which was against the 1st amendment, He called for universal DNA testing of Citizens (10/12/2005), He stated that free speech should be curtailed to fight terrorism (11/29/2006), He wanted to implement a Nationwide ID card with biometrics so that they would be able to track everyone in the country (5/20/2007).

      To top this all off he failed in some of our most important duties as citizens of this nation, he failed as a husband, he failed as a father, and then failed and resigned as a politician. Mitt and Newt are very similar in policy history, The only real difference here is one has been successful in business/management and has good family values.

      Mitt would be a huge difference than Obama as Mitt supports one of the most important things which is a BALANCED BUDGET. He also supported Paul Ryans plan.

    Senator DeMint – one of the best and he is so right that we had better get this election right. Agree with everything he says but I am not so sure if obama stays if there is ever another chance to get our country back.

    I am totally appauled by Jim DeMint’s comments. Mitt Romney in not even close to being conservative. I am a Tea Party supporter, but I am a conservative first and DeMint has always portrayed himself as being a conservative too. Now I am not so sure. It is amazing how a politician can change his spots depending on how the political winds are blowing. Where are all the men who will stand for principle.

      Dammit, all the politicians are positioning themselves.
      Rick Parry was our HOPE, but Malkin, Bachmann, and Coulter with their narrow agenda screwed that up.

    DeMint, I believe in him. But, I’m yhe most Tea Party person alive. It is in the book. Santorum, NO nut he11 No.
    There is a SPECTER, as in Arlen, who dooms Santorum. The HOLIER THAN THOU candidate is the worst of the worst, Don’t believe me? Ask Sen. Pat Toomey (PA-R). e’uff said.

    It seems that NOBODY knows what the Tea Party really stands for. Well I don’t either, its an idea with no written agenda. I like the Tea Party. Why? Let me give you some reasons. Live within your means, a love of the Christian God, educate the children, don’t regulate where there is no need to regulate, defend the border and RESPECK come to mind. That is my definition of the Tea Party.

    DeMint is on the Romeny bandwagon too?

    The already small pool of politicians I considered relatively trustworthy keeps getting smaller and smaller.

    I have decided that the Tea Party has lost its way, those in the top have themselves become corrupted. They are so blinded that they cannot see Gingrich for what he is.. he is big government, he is global warming, he is healthcare… the only dofference between Gingrich and Obama is that Obama is a pacifist and Gingrich.. well lets just say that Gingrich has a few anger issues.. which will be directed at American’s.. He has neither any character, values or principles not to mention a lack of morals.. I no longer want to affiliate myself with the Tea Party! You people had better wake up before it is to late! God is giving us the answers..and they do not listen!

      The Tea Partiers smack of immaturity. They want what they want and they want it now, or they’re going to throw a hissy fit, take their vote and go home. They’ve been in existence for barely four years and they think they deserve the Presidency already. After just two years they wanted the Senate, and lost their shirts. They learned nothing. It’s ridiculous. They don’t have the candidates yet. It takes time to develop them. Tea Partiers can‘t just throw amateurs like Christine O’Donnell out there, slap a Tea Party sticker on their lapel and expect them to win. And they can’t let retreaded Progressives like Newt Gingrich co-opt the Tea Party message and use it as his own to get elected. The GOP needs to win this time, not just make a meaningless point. The stakes are too high to let immature fools hand us another four years of Barack Obama. Look in the mirror and repeat after me . . . Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul cannot win the general election. I understand this and will act like a patient adult.

      @ABBYGIRL an DISINLIGHTEND

      You speak as though there is a National Leader for the TEA Party There is NOT
      If you are talking about tea party express that‘s Dick Armey’s Group.
      Washington DC Elites trying to co-op the TEA Party an bring them into line.

      Trying to lead the Tea Party would be like trying to herd cats The closest thing
      we have to a leader would be Sarah Palin more of a National Spokeperson.
      You can Teach a Bunny to herd SHEEP but you can’t teach a Republican
      to herd CATS.

      I will vote Mitt Romney in NOV but I don‘t Support him until he shows me He’s
      Ronald Reagan Conservative !

      @AbbyGirl I would agree with you with exception: The Tea Party was called tea because it came together to protest taxation without representation with no affiliation to any party neither Republican or Democrat nor Independent nor Libertarian. In protest many seats were replaced in the House and those few have kept their promises. Your comment predisposes when you characterize them as a whole. For myself I still support the tea party but do not fall in line with Republican, Dem., etc. Yes, I am a conservative and prefer Santorum but believe this if iI am alive on election day I will vote for the candidate chosen. I always vote.”God is giving us the answers and they do not listen?” Please give scripture..chapter verse version…That would be like me praying for football, you bet. If you know the answer then I could place a bet except I don’t wager. Romney is a capitalist..Gingrich is a Progressive and family values he isn’t (in my opinion). Tea Party will be very influential in the HoR and Senate again (no fluke).

    With Romney and Gingrich at the top so far,I‘m doubting if there ever was such a thing as a modern ’Tea Party’. 2010 and taking the House may have been a fluke.Neither of these pretenders will get my $support$.

    *Rick Santorum* GO!
