If DeMint is involved, I don't believe the Heritage Foundation should ever again be referred to as a "think tank."

DeMint knows the teabaggers are toast! He knows people won't pay to listen to their tired bullshit anymore.

He's doing what every greedy c sucker would do. JUMP SHIP!

See? It never was about the welfare of the people of his state or our country.

This proves the follow the money principal.

AMF!

There was certainly no reason the people of the United States should be paying his salary.

That's just supposition because the last one made over a million. It could be they got him real cheap since he's used to being poor at $40,000. net worth...they could have gotten him for just a few hundred thousand and he'd feel he hit the jackpot.

Demint's leaving the Senate and going to Heritage changed the IQ level for both organizations.
