DeMint Won't Back McCain

[ccharles000]

Sen. Jim DeMint (S.C.) on Wednesday declined to endorse fellow Republican Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) in his GOP primary against conservative former Rep. J.D. Hayworth (Ariz.).

DeMint has been active in Republican Senate primaries across the country and has funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to his preferred candidates through his Senate Conservatives Fund political action committee.

Just this week, in fact, DeMint's PAC launched a money bomb effort with a six-figure goal on behalf of Marco Rubio, who is running against Gov. Charlie Cristfor the Senate nomination in Florida.

But DeMint told Fox News he would not pick sides in the McCain-Hayworth contest, saying, "I'm going to stay neutral in Arizona."

5. As the republican party lurches to the extreme right

It quickly tosses its excess baggage over board. So long Johnny, and say hello to the fishes.

6. The base is going to destroy McCain for being a moderate on some issues.

7. Not surprising

Many of the reich wing (especially those courting the tea partiers) are upset with McCain. And it's not only for running what they consider a lackluster campaign, but McCain's support of amnesty has them quite upset with him.

8. Can you say "HRINO"?

'Cause this makes probably makes DeMint half RINO in the eyes of the true believers.
