On the RNC fundraising memo found recently in Boca Grande, about raising money by fanning fears about Obama and creeping Socialism:”I saw that. … I think the progressive philosophy is taking us towards a socialistic economy. I don’t know what else you call it if the government owns and controls a large part of your economy…
..The way that it was presented as some kind of marketing ploy, I don’t like that, but I think there’s real substance here. I mean you don’t have to put a name on it, but I think it’s gone far beyond anything that’s liberal. Where we are as a country with our level of debt is really staggering…We should not ever say we’re going to go out and fool our donors…I think you can give them the facts. They may want to call it something different from Socialism and that’s fine. But what’s getting millions of people out to tea parties and rallies is this whole idea that government is taking over everything and spending away our future” (Note: DeMint’s staff, apparently concerned he wasn’t adequately briefed and outraged, sent this: “The memo is juvenile and insulting to millions around the nation with sincere concern about the direction of our nation.”)
