Jim DeMint still vying for title of Most Dangerous Man in America

Jim DeMint isn't happy with the debt ceiling agreement, and so he's going to target incumbents who had the UTTER AUDACITY to vote for it. I told you the Tea Party would sell their children if it meant avoiding a tax hike on millionaires, and DeMint embodies that scenario.

So here's what he's saying now:
DeMint could back incumbent primary challengers over debt-ceiling vote

"After the 2010 elections, DeMint promised his colleagues he would not endorse any primary candidates, but the debate over raising the debt ceiling has changed his mind. DeMint said in mid-June that "if we have folks who go the wrong way on [the debt ceiling vote], it's going to be pretty hard for me to sit still" and stay out of primaries.

The new deal does not pass muster with him, which should worry some of his fellow senators. The Senate Conservatives Fund spent $8.2 million on its preferred candidates last election cycle, and DeMint has said he hopes to raise and spend $15 million this time around."

Dedicated and deranged is a dangerous combination. Let's hope DeMint does as well picking candidates this time as he did last election for the control of the Senate.
