| The king of gridlock Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) is resigning. |
The South Carolina senator a favorite among conservatives across the country is resigning to become the president of The Heritage Foundation. The Heritage Foundation is conservative organization that promotes an extremist agenda and has been influential in electing Republicans to higher office.
He was considered a kingmaker in the Tea Party movement. One of the five members of the gridlock circus. Senator DeMint, Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah), Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), and Senator Jim Infohe (R-Oklahoma) are the reasons for gridlock. Their leader Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky, minority leader) openly embraces their obstructionist views.
He is resigning from the U.S. Senate effective immediately. He would end his session in January. This will leave the seat open and put the Republicans at 44 senate members.
South Carolina is a conservative state. DeMint easily won reelection in 2010 after taking on weak candidate, the perennial loser Alvin Greene.

| Congressman Tim Scott (R-South Carolina) may replace controversial senator. |
The Republican Party still hurt from their presidential loss are engaged in a civil war within its ranks.
Conservatives are frustrated over the Republican Party plans to purge members of the Tea Party movement out of the House Committee posts.
Perennial loser Mitt Romney's loss to President Barack Obama left the Republicans with a gaping hole!
They've lost the women and Hispanics. They've can't win back the Black voters. And it's going to get worse if they allow the United States to go off the fiscal cliff. The Republicans on a double edge sword. They lose if they support the president's proposal to raise taxes on the rich. They lose if they continue to cause gridlock in spite of the general public wanting them to compromise with the president. They lose because it was reported that the committee positions were given to men. One being given to woman with little authority.
It's reported that the senator wants Congressman Tim Scott (R-South Carolina) to take the helm of his seat.
Scott is the only African American Republican. Scott won reelection easily. Congressman Allen West (R-Florida) an African American politician was defeated in closely watched election race. There are no African Americans in the U.S. Senate. The last one was Roland Burris, the person who replaced Barack Obama when he became president.
The only thing I got for Jim DeMint today is.........Goodbye, and good riddance! You're not going to be missed!
