South Carolina isn't big enough for Jim DeMint. He's willing to do whatever it takes to put his band of cronies in power. People that will say or do anything. People that don't share our values. Some of them think 9/11 was an inside job. Some think we should abolish the minimum wage. Some think we should repeal the Civil Rights Act, or abolish the Department of Education and Department of Agriculture. Or even that federal law enforcement shouldn't arrest drug dealers. They're his DeMinted Deputies.
Nikki Haley was asked who she would be like as Governor, and was unequivocal: Jim DeMint. So we need to know: would Nikki Haley support candidates that don't believe in the Civil Rights Act? Or that think that we should "drop terrorists off back in Afghanistan" because it will "take them a while to get back"? Would she hire somebody who thought there was a conspiracy to abolish the dollar for one North American currency? Nikki Haley needs to tell us why she's standing with Jim DeMint. South Carolina can't have another Governor embarrass us with the company they keep.
Rand Paul became Jim DeMint's shining star after getting his endorsement in May. But does Jim DeMint know who Rand Paul is? Paul opposes the Civil Rights act. He blames America for 9/11. He wants to return terrorists to the battlefield, to abolish the Departments of Education and Agriculture, and repeal the Americans With Disabilities Act. He won't commit to the minimum wage or overtime pay, and wants to end aid to family farms. We need to know: where does Jim DeMint disagree with Rand Paul? Or does he?
Joe Wilson sold out for the Tea Party, running from his bailout vote and hiding his proposals to raise the tax burden on hard-working South Carolinains. But with Jim DeMint and his cronies blazing the Tea Party's extremist trail, how far is Joe Wilson willing to follow? Will he stand with Rand Paul when he opposes the Americans With Disabilities Act? Or the Civil Rights Act? Does Joe Wilson support the Department of Education? The Department of Agriculture? Minimum wage? It's time for Joe Wilson to tell us exactly where he stands.
As he likes to remind us, Henry McMaster is South Carolina's top law enforcement official. So why is he silent when his state's Junior Senator advocates for candidates that not only want to make it easier for terrorists to return to the battlefield and put us in danger, but that don't want federal law enforcement to be able to help South Carolina arrest drug dealers? Why doesn't Henry McMaster stand up to Jim DeMint for endorsing men who won't tell if they think the Second Amendment gives citizens the right to violent uprising? Is Henry McMaster standing with Jim DeMint & Rand Paul, and hoping we don't notice?
