Jim DeMint Just Took One More Step Closer to Endorsing Ron Paul!

He just wants to PLACATE Paul supporters.

Anyone who votes to give the military the authority to UNCONSTITUTIONALLY jail citizens -- is NOT looking to support a Constitutionalist.

Wake up.

Let's see....didn't that guy endorse RP some time ago?

Forget him! He'll only do what will keep him in office. It's always POWER, POWER and more POWER.

Read his words: "It doesn't matter which of the four Republicans wins"

I feel the need to quote Bob on this one.. "Are you kidding me? Are you freaking kidding me?!"

count for very much even though thay are nice to get. We had lots of endorsements out of SC and it really did very little for us. I just think that the public is so disheartened by the performance of almost every politician, that the endorsements don't really matter all that much.

but don't come out and endorse their candidate. Palin has just about endorsed Newt, but hasn't. And DeMint the same with Paul. Nothing like fence sitters. I appreciate her endorsement of Rand, but come on, Newt? And as most comments mention, DeMint should have had the intestinal fortitude to endorse Paul. I mean this is the same guy that endorsed Robot Romney in 08.

If he really likes Paul that much, he should endorse him now rather than later, so he can help Paul win as many states and delegates as possible. What is he waiting for?

but it would've been nicer if he'd done it right before the SC primary vote.

I know it's hard to be principled for so many members of congress.

EVEN when they know the truth in their hearts.

They are scared of losing constituents or collegues over a decision to support Dr. Paul.

But if only ONE (esepecially with a big name like Jim DeMint) would endorse Dr. Paul, it could creat a domino effect where they might start coming on board in droves.

There is safety in numbers afterall.

not a moment sooner.

should have been before the first primary. What would this clown do, wait until it's over?

If he wants to sell some books he would just do the do.

I like Jim Demint and Tom Davis. Tom introduced Dr Paul at the Grand Strand airport rally (the day prior to SC election). These are both guys that I want in Dr Pauls house. Even baby steps towards Dr Pauls ideals are much needed. That said, I do wish that Demint would go all in and that he should have done it prior to the SC primary. Our fricken Governer sure won't help.

and is only looking out for himself. If he didn't endorse him before the vote in S.C. he won't endorse him now or in the future. At this point I don't think his endorsement would even help. What we need is honest state Republican Party leaders to count the votes honestly.

I, Jim DeMint, will endorse someone based upon whether or not I think they can win, not the principles they stand for.

I, Jim DeMint, have never believed in endorsing an underdog, even if he stands for doing the right thing. Once it has already become clear they are going to be the winner... then, and only then, will I say that the guy is the right guy.

-----------------------

Now, what kind of a principle is that?

Or is it that he is just too dumb to know, and needs the Media and/or other people to pick his candidate for him?

Demint could have sold a million books.

....a friend. He is a newcomer here and when I goggled "Michael Bailey, Romney" I was a bit shocked with what I came up with.

So, perhaps there is a Romney effort through DeMint and he will endorse Romney.

I am not naive. Eventually check my facts. DeMint posts here may be...not what they seemed to me. Glad I googled. Still, I will not discount people doing the right thing eventually. And, any cooperation between DeMint and Rand Paul in voting for what we DO believe in has my 100% vote.

The only effect of his endorsement would have been in the SC primary, which he clearly avoided.
