Take a note GOP, this is what we are looking for…guts.

“ABC News’ Jonathan Karl reports: I caught up with a jubilant Senator Jim DeMint today on Capitol Hill clearly relishing the victory of his candidate in the Delaware Republican Senate primary.

DeMint infuriated GOP leaders by endorsing Christine O’Donnell over Mike Castle in Delaware, just as he had infuriated them with his early endorsements of Marco Rubio (back when Charlie Crist was a Republican) and Ken Buck. But, once again, DeMint’s candidate prevailed over the candidate boosted by the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee. He set out to transform the Republican party and it looks like he just might be pulling it off. Even the long-shot candidate he endorsed in New Hampshire – Ovide LaMontagne – came close to pulling off an upset victory last night.

But, still, Senate Republicans are fuming about DeMint, convinced his actions are helping to doom their chances of taking back the Senate.

I asked Senator DeMint if he’ll have any regrets if come November 3rd he realizes Republicans blew their chance at winning a majority because some of the candidates he supported lost.

“No. I’ve been in the majority with Republicans who didn’t have principles and we embarrassed ourselves and lost credibility in front of the country. Frankly, I’m at a point where I’d rather lose fighting for the right cause then win fighting for the wrong cause,” he told me.”

Which is exactly right. We lost in 2006 and 2008 because we indeed forgot the core conservative principles that gave us power in 1994-2005. The American people didn’t elect democrats in those elections as they did sending a message to the GOP. Americans are by and large conservative in their views and want conservative governing. They don’t want liberalism - they’re rejecting that outright now. They don’t want “liberal-light” as they got with the willy-nilly GOP of 2002-2006.

The milktoast establishment of entrenched RINOs which infected our party is fuming that their time has come to exit the stage. They won’t go quietly, but they will go. The conservative movement isn’t a wake, it’s a tsunami and it’s going to sweep them away if they don’t get with the program.

I too do not want an majority simply to have a majority if it means nothing but a return to infective RINOISM. Beltway GOPers don’t care so long as they can claim an “R” in the column. Unforturnately as far as they are concerned it wouldn’t matter if it Joe Biden, Barack Obama or Mike Castle. All three as far as their records have much in common and the current GOP leader is too intrenched in their own stupidity to see it.
