I think it's telling the heading speaks of DeMint's 'impact' but there is nothing about ACTUAL legislation affiliated with this man that had a profound affect, one way or another on the American Public.

This is a US Senator we are talking about. Am I missing something or is that not a sad reality on it's face?

DeMint is the perfect candidate for the job. Who else could lead a bunch of right winged zealots better than a right winged zealot?

Ironically, the better job DeMint does at getting the message of the Heritage Foundation out the more liberal policies will be seen as mainstream.

DaMint is part of the "Fourteen Teabegger Felon's." He was one of the Teabegger Leaders of their "Caucus Conspiracy." On Janruary 20, 2009 at the Caucus Steakhouse Restaurant in Washington D.C. DaMint has committed 'conspiracy,' and his fellow Teabeggers know it. He has taken the GOP/RNC too the very far right. Who were the other "Teabegger Conspirators?" What was their "Blood Oath" that they all took in 2009? Yes America! "Jerk Off Jimmy" has gone out of his way too 'obstruct' the progress of the American People. "Jerk Off Jimmy DaMint" has taken the "Goofy Grover" pledge, and many Teabeggers also took this Tax Pledge. Read Draper's Book America!

A new word has been created since Barry was re-elected

Ineptocracy

DEFINITION: (in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Very good definition, great new word. however low info. voters won't be able to spell it correctly & they will probably think it is a new Obama phone app.

I suppose we should just,

"Get used too it"

    So libbies, one question ? with a premise of course.

    After sequester and cuts to defense, and A raise in the debt limit, + possible down grade in our credit rating. Eminently, resulting in lost faith in the Us gov't bonds held by the various creditors/countries "China" in particular.

    Here is the question.

    What should we do when one morning, we awaken to 60+ Chinese aircraft carriers and support craft surrounding our country, and a delegation of oriental Ambassador's in Washington DC with a message from Beijing to transport All Of Our precious metals/gold from Ft.Knox to the port of New Orleans for shipment to China??? Shall we just nuke them? lol How many nuclear submarines do they have, built with American steel??? "Just Askin"?

      More conspiracy theories from low information people

      China holds less than 10% of our 16 trillion dollar National debt. Our unions hold more of the US debt than China.
      The very same thing was being said about Japan during the 90's.
      China's Military is much smaller than ours and they spend $1 on their military for every $5 the US spends.
