Jim DeMint, Republican Senator from South Carolina, has a pretty good handle on why his party lost big in 2008 elections . . . George W. Bush, Ted Stevens, and John McCain.Bush and Stevens led the way for expansion of government and wasteful spending.
McCain betrayed conservative principles by sponsoring a flawed campaign finance reform package, proposing "amnesty for illegals," supporting a cap-and-trade program to fight "global warming," opposing oil drilling in ANWR, and backing the $700 billion bailout.
"Americans do prefer a traditional conservative government," DeMint said. "They just did not believe Republicans were going to give it to them."
You're absolutely right Senator DeMint. Right on the money!

That picture is not Jim DeMint. You posted a picture of Judd Gregg.
Thanks for catching that. Google image search failed me . . . and haste made waste. Sorry to all. The photo has been corrected . . . I think.
