Is South Carolina Jim DeMint's Vision For the Rest of America?

South Carolina's Sen. Jim Demint leads the far right fridges of the Republican Party and Tea Party movement. His state has been dominated by extremely conservative political leadership for over 200 years and is home to some of the most severe poverty, public health problems and unemployment in the U.S.A. Add to that massive failures in education and public health and the most violent crime in the nation, and you can get an idea of what Demint’s vision for the rest of the country looks like.
