Sen. Jim DeMint pointed out the importance of the vice presidential nominee in the upcoming election. (Photo: The US Report/Kay B. Day)U.S. vice presidents don’t get a lot of respect—that can sometimes work for a vice president prone to gaffes. Joe Biden comes to mind. Times do change and a recent message from Sen. Jim DeMint (S.C.) to supporters of his Senate Conservatives Fund suggests the General Election of 2012 may change the tenor of the VP office.

Day/The US Report)As protesters filled the streets of Egypt, media and everyone else on the Left fawned on that event and others like it in countries in the Middle East.

DeMint recounts the experiences of a conservative in a progressive-controlled government in his new book ‘The Great American Awakening.’
With Democrats in full control of both the legislative and executive branches, spending zoomed to new heights, setting world records for debt.

Neil Cavuto did an on air op-ed explaining why Standard and Poor's "is not the problem." [Screen snip from video at FoxNews.com]When I heard Sen. John McCain call the balanced budget amendment a fantasy and tea partiers “hobbits,” I wasn’t really surprised. For McCain, the disastrous campaign of 2008 is now a distant memory. McCain has returned to being the real McCain, courting media approval and projecting himself as a bipartisan compromiser.

First the US Dept. of Health and Education handed out waivers to organizations and corporations that realized the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was a legislative nightmare. That happens when your congressman doesn’t read the bill he signs.
