<Insert megaphone here>
Attention, GOP senators! Get your fucking act together or get the fuck out of office. The wave of change will just as soon sweep your sorry asses out the door with the Democrats. Stand behind Joe Miller in Alaska or get the hell out of the way. And lay off Jim Demint. He’s just about the only thing some of you fat asses have going for you right now, so stop acting like a liberal and pull your head out of your rectum, pronto! At this time of crisis, we certainly don’t need you clowns standing around waving your pricks in the air in anger. Get in line, or get the fuck out.

South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint last week accused his Senate Republican colleagues of doing “everything” in their power to help Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s write-in campaign against GOP nominee Joe Miller. And he pounded them in a fundraising solicitation for doing “business as usual,” just as he “thought Republicans in Washington were beginning to get the message.”
Turns out Republicans got his message — they just didn’t like it.
A number of Republican senators told POLITICO Tuesday that DeMint was skewing the GOP Conference’s position solidly backing Miller, saying he was intensifying a rift within a party that’s trying to unite following a divisive primary season. And Republican leaders say DeMint’s decision to lay out to his supporters the debate about Murkowski in the closed-door meeting was a clear breach of protocol where senators don’t discuss private sessions between colleagues with outsiders.
“I personally think it’s very counterproductive,” said retiring Sen. Kit Bond of Missouri, scoffing at what he and other GOP senators see as DeMint’s apparent attempts to build his national profile at the expense of his colleagues.
Asked whether DeMint’s message was helpful to the Republican Party, Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison simply said: “No.”
…DeMint insists that he’s “pretty popular outside the Beltway,” where he claims he’s standing with a “majority of Americans right now.”
“I hate to offend my colleagues, but the fact is that there is a battle going on for the heart and soul of the Republican Party,” DeMint told POLITICO. “There are a lot in our party who are fighting for the status quo. That status quo includes the ability to throw around money and earmarks — so I think we need to change the status quo, and a lot of people are not supportive of that.”
DeMint isn’t exactly subtle in his latest fundraising pitch. The subject line reads: “Senate GOP Help the Alaska Party Switcher” —- in response to Senate Republicans’ decision not to demote Murkowski from a leadership position on a Senate committee.
“I would take issue with that,” said South Dakota Sen. John Thune, No. 4 in the GOP hierarchy. He said DeMint’s statements are “overstating what happened. I think the Republican leadership is very much doing everything they can to help the Republican nominee in Alaska.”
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) called DeMint’s pitch a “mistaken idea,” saying there “isn’t one sitting Republican in the Senate that isn’t supporting Joe Miller.”
Alright kiddies, lets all get along. Right before we board what should be a successful flight to victory, is not the time to start bitching about where you’re going to sit.
