DeMint pledges to stop McConnell plan
By Alicia M. Cohn - 07/15/11 10:29 AM ET

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) on Friday said he would use "every tool" available to stop Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) fall-back proposal for the debt-ceiling negotiations.

"I'll use every tool in Senate to stop passage of 'Plan B' blank check debt limit increase," DeMint said on Twitter.

"No Republican was elected to give President Obama more power and that's what this plan does," he added.

<..> DeMint, a Tea Party favorite, carries considerable influence with conservatives in the Senate. Although McConnell's proposal has split the GOP, with significant voices raised both for and against the idea, DeMint's opposition will likely solidify the divide.

DeMentia is spreading his disease. What a teabag.

These people are sick. This is the kind of crap that sours people on politics and makes you feel that us little people don't matter. What an idiot! Raising the debt ceiling used to be what did they call it "routine house keeping"? Now they are being complete assholes! Grr

Good. Now we've got a Cantor in the Senate who we can place the stalemate blame on.

Go for it, you idiot! Do this and you are declaring open insurrection within your own political party!

The resulting civil war within the ranks, forcing sides to be chosen, insures a Democratic victory. I pray for that day to come.

I guess DeMint sees himself as President of the Teabagger Nation, and is going somehow to ride that into the White House.

He's insane. Massive ego coupled with massive ignorance.
