Jim DeMint: the man who would be GOP kingmaker | Stewart J Lawrence

Republican Senator from South Carolina is the mobilization of support from social conservatives "to be a fundamental reason for 2012

It's official: Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, not participate in the "Forum of the candidates' special planned for Sept. 5 in South Carolina. None of the candidates of the Republican Party since 1980, won the 'his party's nomination without winning the "Palmetto" State - even if they have already lost in either New Hampshire or Iowa, and Romney, already jumped the first debate of the Republican Party of South Carolina, held two months ago, seems completely writing off South Carolina, where he lost badly in 2008.

But Romney also avoid what is more unworthy of a meeting. The main sponsor of the event, the youth of the South Carolina U.S. Senator Jim DeMint is strongly anti-gay, anti-abortion, and certainly the most conservative member of the house upper end of the Congress. His co-host, a law professor at Princeton, Robert George, is the founding president of the National Organization of fight against gay marriage. The event itself is co-organized by George principles of the bill, a group that started this year by the boycott of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) to protest against the participation of Republicans in favor of human GOProud gay groups.

DeMint

called "Freedom Forum", which promises to be another meeting of the homophobic white hoods and very vocal Republican hardliners.

Why the Governor Rick Perry, MP Michele Bachmann, Ron Paul, pizza magnate Herman Cain, and even irrelevant, but frankly, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, all agreed to attend - looks like the blessing of George DeMint and social issues agenda?

First, take a look at these views of the candidates themselves on gay marriage. Bachmann, who is widely DeMint counterpart Tea Party in this House condemns gay marriages as it does with vehemence. Gingrich, the OFT considered, "the man of conservative thought" with relatively moderate - or at least considered - views on issues such as immigration, just said in an interview that gay marriage could be a reason for which the U.S. economy. UU. is tanking. Even the arch-libertarian Ron Paul, who fight for the nomination last authentic Republican Party began to please the conservative social issues.
  • hitting people is gay, apparently, is a proven method of rallying in a particular sector of the conservative base.
  • But this is not the case with all the Republicans - which makes up DeMint and the choice of sponsors in bad taste. After all, Palin has to GoPROUD at CPAC, and in fact spoke out against homophobia. It is not (yet) a candidate for the Republican Party, but was extended an invitation - which she refused. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who supports gay marriage, also rejected the invitation. And former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, the only Republican candidate who openly supports gay civil unions, and in need of exposure is likely to have wanted to attend the event, was not even invited .
  • Officially, DeMint says he wants the forum for candidates to serve as a process of selecting candidates for the Republican Party, particularly on issues related to employment and the economy - even Christians Conservatives admit should be the focus of the Republican Party this election cycle. And no doubt, if the candidates DeMint to clarify their views in debates over national television to do so, you have to do a kind of public service.
  • But DeMint, who has largely succeeded in blocking his Republican friends in South Carolina to make amendments or large campaign contributions, is also creating a litmus test to qualify as a "true conservative" in front what is a dreaded "Rino" (Republican in name only) and must be disposed of on the bus.
DeMint endorsed Romney for President in 2008, and - perhaps to spread your paris - continued to speak well of him in the face of criticism from other conservatives. Thank you to $ 6 million paid in ten Republican Senate campaigns last November, five of its candidates won. In the process, which appeared as a kind of Republican Party power broker, and, of course, has the ambition to do the same for the presidency.

is probably a blessing for everyone that is presented on September 5 for questioning by DeMint and George into something dark and no television - except at the state level - "Star Chamber" event. But it is a sign of how things are that many GOP candidates walk diligently to do the will of DeMint, may be too afraid of the consequences of being labeled as "rose".
