DeMint Signals Change in Senate
Sen. Jim DeMint has been renamed chairman of the Senate Republican Steering Committee — the unofficial caucus of Senate conservatives — for the 111th Congress, and he wants the change in Washington to begin in his own party.
“We have a shortage of courage, and we also have a shortage of vision based on our core principles,” DeMint told HUMAN EVENTS. “A few of us need to step up and try to lead and hope that folks will come with us. I believe that most of the Republicans, the large majority, would follow a conservative plan and agenda if we had the leadership to go that way. But we have not had that.”
Very true. If the Bush administration and those in the Republican leadership in Congress had followed DeMint’s agenda on how government should work the Republican would more than likely still be a majority party. The fact of the matter is they betrayed the people that elected them by becoming the very things they ran against. The polls show we are still a center right country.
