Even opponents of Senator Jim DeMint have to give him the fact that DeMint is a man who talks about big ideas, be it tax reform, conservative approaches to healthcare or the like. Jim DeMint is not the petty type and that drives liberals nuts. Liberals looking to find someone to caricature have a hard time with DeMint. The man speaks about big ideas and does not bite on the small stuff.
Therefore, it is easy to understand why so many far left liberals hate the guy. DeMint does not play their game. However frustrating DeMint is to the left, he is refreshing to conservatives and middle of the road voters. In DeMint, South Carolina has a senator who reflects the will of its people and talks about principles and ideas. If you are looking for the next Tiger Woods story, don’t look to DeMint. DeMint seems too worried about making freedom work in the United States for such distractions.
VUI swung at South Carolina’s other so called conservative Senator, Lindsey Graham, deeming him unplugged. Frankly, VUI still believes that Graham deserves that for his support of Obama’s tax and cap, uh, cap and trade energy bill that will cost South Carolinians in their energy bills.
Therefore it is only fair that VUI praises our other United States Senator, Jim DeMint, who stands tall in the conservative saddle. Agree with DeMint on this or that issue or not, you cannot lump DeMint in with those who dwell on the petty. DeMint has spent his five years in the United States Senate standing for ideas and principles. And, even to those who might disagree with him, it has to be refreshing to see someone actually be honest and stand up for what he believes needs to be done.
DeMint does no apologize for his point of view. In a recent interview, Senator DeMint stated, "The problem here in the Republican Party is not that our base has gone to the right. The problem in the Republican Party is that the leadership has gone to the left and the tea parties and the Republicans out across the country are right there where American principles have always been and I’m trying to pull the party back to the mainstream of where America really is."
DeMint understands that the people of South Carolina want government out of their lives. They want government to get out of the way of success. Further, Senator DeMint tells you what he believes and acts upon it. That is rare in politics today, be it right or left. No wonder DeMint seems poised to cruise to re-election. People tend to find the honest man refreshing.
