Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) - Why They Are Called teabaggers

Some of the very basic tenets of Tea Party were (yes past tense vs. what they have become) the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Keeping Government out of our lives, Government over reach.

Senator Jim DeMint is very prominent in the Tea Party. Very prominent.

So there is NO way he would propose legislation having the Government telling women how they can talk to their doctors if they discuss abortion. Right?

Freedom of speech - First Amendment of the Constitution under the Bill of Rights.

Government over reach, interfering with what people can do.

'“Under Sen. DeMint’s extreme plan, if abortion came up in that doctor-patient conversation, the woman and her physician would have to go to a separate communications system. He’s calling for an abortion-only version of Skype. It is impractical, ridiculous, and, most importantly, bad for women in rural or remote areas who would not be able to discuss the full set of options with their doctor.”

And he attached this legislation to another bill on agriculture, transportation and housing. Just ignoring yet another Tea Party tenet of having only one issue in each bill.

So when you Tea Party people wonder why so many are looking with laughter at what the 'movement' has become, look no further then Senator Jim DeMint.

A 'do what I say, not what I do' teabagger.
