But What Will Jobless South Carolinians Think?

Regarding the Senate vote on unemployment insurance that went off a moment ago, it’s worth noting that the only opponent was Sen. Jim DeMint (R), who represents South Carolina, where the unemployment rate of 11.6 percent happens to be the fifth highest in the country.

We’ve got a call in to DeMint’s office to ask for the reason behind the senator’s resistance to the bill. There are roughly 250,000 out-of-work South Carolinians who are likely very interested to hear the response.

This guy DeMent(ed) is not only so out of touch with the real America, he's out of touch with the people whom he was elected to serve. He's not a people person. I really would like to see Republicans and Democrats come together and vote this Dodo bird out of office.

Homer: [looks at ballot information] Hmm…I don't agree with his Bart-
killing policy, but I do approve of his Selma-killing policy. [votes for Bob]
Krusty: Well, he framed me for armed robbery, but man, I'm aching for
that upper-class tax cut. [votes for Bob]

Maybe he voted against it because the Dems blocked provisions that try to reduce illegal immigration.

I found out about those provisions from this site, but the SorosChip in the brains of TWI staffers prevents them from tying one to the other.
