Jim DeMint Party Quotations

I don't have the support inside Washington or even inside my own party.

You've got the Democratic Party that now depends on more government spending and actual building the dependence on government in order to increase their political party.

I think people are confused about what the Tea Party is. I mean, they were a broad cross-section of Americans who came together concerned about our debt and our spending. And they're interested in constitutional, limited government. And so they're not one group of people. They're thousands of small groups all over the country.

The Tea Party doesn't like politicians.

I went through two pretty dark years being fed up with the system and frustrated with my own party after two disastrous elections in 2006 and 2008.

The debate in the Republican Party needs to be between libertarians and conservatives.

Sometimes people credit me for the Tea Party. It's actually the other way around.

I'd like to see a Republican Party that embraces a lot of the libertarian ideas.
