DeMint Wants To Take Back Senate So GOP Doesn’t Have To Compromise

At CPAC, Jim DeMint articulated two desires for the Senate in the 2012 election. He wants to take back the Senate, and he wants to do so with particularly far-right candidates. He is unsatisfied with moderate Republicans because he doesn’t want to compromise with Democrats. When we do, he said, we borrow more and spend more. For this purpose, DeMint gave a shoutout to his own Senate Conservative Fund which raises money for very conservative candidates.
