Trouble maker and proud of it: SC senator spurring GOP infighting
By BEN EVANS (AP) – 1 hour ago
WASHINGTON — Sen. Jim DeMint proudly recalls the moment he became a thorn in the side of the Republican establishment.
In the gloomy weeks following the party’s throttling in the 2008 elections, the first-term South Carolina senator urged GOP leaders to shake up the seniority rules that he felt were perpetuating a broken culture of parochial spending within the party.
“I was told eye-to-eye … ‘DeMint, you can’t change the Senate,’” he said in an interview in his Capitol Hill office this week. “I said, ‘Well, we’ll see.’ And that’s been my challenge ever since.”
Two years later, DeMint has done as much as anybody to incite the tea party uprising and bitter infighting that has roiled GOP primaries this year. He’s used a newfound political celebrity and resulting fundraising strength to fuel a string of upstart conservatives who were opposed by the party as too extreme or unelectable. He’s burned bridges, infuriated party leaders and helped defeat some of his colleagues in the traditionally tight-knit Senate.
