Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) helped create the anti-Washington wave that has damaged his party's chances of retaking the Senate this fall, and his GOP colleagues aren't happy about it.
While no one will confront DeMint directly about his role, Republican aides warn that the first-term senator could be punished if his involvement in GOP primaries is seen as a factor in Democrats retaining control of the upper chamber.
"If on Nov. 3 there are two or three seats in Democratic control that otherwise would have been Republican victories, then that anger will come back up to the surface and there will be consequences," said one aide, declining to cite specific punishments DeMint might face.Anger toward DeMint boiled over after the GOP establishment learned that Christine O'Donnell, a controversial conservative backed by DeMint, upset the party's favored candidate, Rep. Mike Castle, in Delaware's Republican Senate primary.
DeMint's critics acknowledge that he has become a force to be reckoned with in Republican politics.
This 'aide' represents what happened in 2006.
This 'aide' represents Hastert, Livingstone, Foley, Craig, Abramoff and the lack of differential leadership.
This 'aide' is THE REASON WHY TEA PEOPLE EXIST AND ARE ENERGIZED.
This 'aide' makes me wonder if a clean sweep inside the republican party is not needed FIRST.

The view from the rest of even the moderately informed in the west is who gives a spit which "party" Americans vote for. The party is over unless enough Americans wake up before their heads are forcefully shoved into the dirt.
Everything else is window dressing.
Vote for the leaders who vow to stand for freedom in the path of planet islam - lest we become the skank hole and laughing stock of the entire galaxy.
"...first-term senator could be punished..:
PUNISHED!!! by whom and how---how dare they the THEY-try to keep a good man (or woman-Palin O'Donnell come to mind)
See why I no longer call myself a rebublican-I state-"I am a follower of the original intent CONSTITUTION!!"
Indeed- the R party must be cleansed!!!
