The Ed Morrissey Show: Senator Jim DeMint, Larry Schweikart
posted at 1:12 pm on June 12, 2008 by Ed Morrissey
Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), we welcome stalwart conservative Senator Jim DeMint, who will talk with us about the launch of his new PAC, the Senate Conservatives Fund. We’ll ask Senator DeMint how he sees this as an organizational tool and a potential pressure point to force Republicans to walk the conservative walk as well as talk the talk. In the second half, we’ll talk with Larry Schweikart about his books on American history and his upcoming work, 48 Liberal Lies About History (That You Probably Learned in School).
Now you can join the conversation, so be sure to register at Ustream to participate in our raucous live-chat sessions…

Please ASK Ed, what it will take to get the Republicans to ACT LIKE Conservatives?
WHY should we believe that they will? Is there a lesson learned? OR, Do they have to get their heads handed to them by the Dems in the upcoming election.

I just started Larry’s “Patriot’s History” this weekend and Jim DeMint is in my top 1 US Senators. I will tune in!

It’s a very good idea Senator and I think it will be a big success if you are very careful to ONLY support candidates that truly support conservative ideas. You need to make it very clear that no RINOs need apply.
Once the money starts rolling into your PAC you can expect a RINO stampede. Kindly direct that stampede over the nearest cliff, in other words, don’t give them one red cent.

There is a slight problem with DeMint’s logic. America is a center-right country and that’s what the country wants. But DeMint wants to offer far right candidates. It’s not clear that such candidates are any more attractive to the center-right masses than are center-left candidates.
Ed is closer to what the majority wants over the long run when he talks about limited government. I hope McCain takes this tact in the future.
