GOP Senator Jim DeMint Pledges To Keep Helping Democrats

by Stuart Shaprio

Senator Jim DeMint was very helpful to Democrats in the 2010 Senate elections, supporting such luminaries as Christine O’Donnell and Ken Buck as Republican nominees.  Both lost badly to Democrats in races that otherwise would have been winnable for Republicans, helping to keep the Democrats in control of the Senate. He’s pledged to continuing to support conservatives in Republican primaries.

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) is already building an aggressive campaign machine for the 2012 Senate elections, promising to push his party further to the right, despite angering many in the GOP establishment with his political activities last year.

DeMint’s Senate Conservatives Fund wants to rake in a staggering $15 million, which is nearly $6 million more than in 2010 when his political action committee raised more money than any other politician’s PAC.

One has to wonder how many of those donations are from Harry Reid.
