Bad news! South Carolina's Republican Tea-Bag governor, Nikki Haley, will undoubtedly appoint someone with a viewpoint similar to DeMint's. There's no shortage of 'em in the Palmetto State.
DeMint will make $1 million a year at Heritage, a pretty good pay raise from his Senate salary. But he says it's not about the money. No, he's leaving so he can use Heritage's pulpit to "convince the American people that conservative ideas will make their lives better."
Good luck with that. DeMint and the Heritage Foundation live in a bubble of their own making. Obviously, they missed the message of the recent election. They're still convinced that they lost because Republicans weren't far-right, anti-government, anti-labor, anti-woman, anti-environment, pro-wealthy, pro-corporate, pro-tax cut, pro-white, pro-gun bat-shit crazy enough!!
Some say DeMint is making this move to prep for a 2016 presidential run. Tee-hee! That'd be great!
