Jim DeMint Wins GOP Hypocrite of the Week Award For Putting Union-Hating Ahead of National Security

Jim DeMint

There was once a time when, if the nation were under attack, even the strictest of partisan hacks would put away their petty squabbling and try DeMint, Obstructionisttheir best to figure out how to make the United States a safe haven for its citizens.

Not anymore.

After the attempted terrorist attack aboard Northwest flight 253 on Christmas Day, the Republicans came out swinging. Clearly this whole thing was President Barack Obama's fault. Didn't he get that memo titled "Umar Farouq Abdulmutallab Determined to Strike in America"?

Perhaps the worst of these is one of the men is one who could conceivably bear the most responsibility for it. Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) showed up on CBS' Early Show Wednesday morning to explain exactly how Obama dropped the ball on airline security. He said that the president was at fault because "he doesn't use the word [terrorism] anymore," and because he waited until September to even nominate someone to head the Transportation Security Administration.

On top of it, DeMint has been accusing the administration, both before and after the attacks, of playing politics. A gold star to any reader who can pick out the true player here.

So, one would think that if he had to wait that long to get someone into the top TSA post, DeMint would be in a rush to have that person confirmed ASAP. But no, turns out DeMint's had a hold on the nominee, Erroll Southers, and he still refuses to let go.

Well, since DeMint is so worried about terrorism (the word, at least), he must have a really good reason for opposing Southers' nomination, like that Southers has connections to al Qaeda or something.

Wrong again! Widely known as a counterterrorism expert, Southers has already earned the blessing of two Senate committees. DeMint has said his reason behind the hold on Southers is that he might allow TSA workers to -- gasp! -- unionize!

Yet this sorry excuse may be yet another obstruction. Not only has Southers said he will reserve judgment on whether or not the TSA should unionize until he's gotten the full story, but according to at least one consultant in the field, this decision won't really be Southers' to make:

In reality, aviation security consultant Rich Roth said, the decision will be made above his pay grade -- by the White House and the head of the Department of Homeland Security, of which TSA is one division.

So what's DeMint's true beef with Southers? We can't say for sure, but it probably has to do with terrorism... or hypocrisy.

While DeMint insists that "America must use every tool at its disposal" to fight terrorism, he clearly doesn't mind if the toolbox is a little light. And though he professes to be "a strong supporter of the men and women" who keep us safe from terrorism, he doesn't seem to include the hard-working TSA in that equation. And that's why Jim DeMint wins BuzzFlash's GOP Hypocrite of the Week Award.

Remember our motto: So many Republican hypocrites, so little time.

Catch up with you soon.

South Carolina Traditions

Ever since SC moved their fabric industry overseas, putting thousands out of work, I lost all respect for them.  DeMint has several motives for holding back Obama's nominee:

-DeMint is pro business, anti labor

-He owes his soul to SC business

-DeMint has caught the (greedy virus) from SC business

-DeMint is the example of the present GOP

-Like many southern reps., he bristles at any black nominee

 

Furthermore, the republican party must have gotten into a huddle after election night and vowed to be as obstructive to this administration and congress as possible... even if their obstructions foul up the nation.  That accusation is as clear as a freight train barreling down the track.  Of all the obstructions republicans have demonstrated through 2009, it simply appears that it is just DeMint's turn to rock the boat.  Yes, it appears that they take turns at the obstruction strategy.  Pathetic, Anti-American, UnPatriotic, Subversive, Childish... and they absolutely refuse to accept being thrust into the minority. 

Jim DeMint is another of

Jim DeMint is another of those Confederate Republicans from South Carolina  -- and there are LOTS of them these days in the former Confederate States, and now in the Congress of the United States. It makes one wonder.

Anyway, my take on ths DeMint hold is that he'd probably put a hold on ANY African Americon that Obama would nominate.

Jim DeMint

Hypocrite of the week, asshole of the month, partisan hack of the quarter, bi-annual fear-monger, and self-aggrandizing, filibustering, union-denier of the year ... ah yes, Senator Jim DeMint from South Carolina, also home to Strom Thurmond (Christmas past) and Mark Sanford (Christmas present).

 

You'd think those two SC characters alone would keep Mr. DeMint busy minding his own ... but then, as you so aptly illustrated, hypocrisy seems to be DeMint's trademark and, as his area of expertise, he's intent on letting the world know that.

Jim DeMint;pseudoChristian

Jim DeMint is one of the many pseudoChristians peopleing the GOP...he has many times betrayed his oath of office. He should have all privelidges and benefits revoked and thrown in jail or shipped th the Hague along with the other NeoConArtist war criminals!!!
