Back in 2009, South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint, a Tea Party star and the current president of the Heritage Foundation, said that President Obama’s push for a new healthcare law would be Obama’s “Waterloo,” a reference to the 1815 battle that marked the end of Napoleon’s reign as conqueror of Europe.
.
He told a conference call of conservative activists that, “If we’re able to stop Obama on this [health care reform], it will be his Waterloo.”

I think NOT, Jim. Jim DeMint quit his U.S. Senate job from South Carolina and went to work for the right-wing think tank (Heritage Foundation) where he literally DIRECTS the proceedings now taking place within the House Republican Caucus. It is he who is giving the marching orders to his Tea Party cadres to block, impede or slow down Obamacare AT ALL COSTS!!!

As Dick Cheney said way back in 2003 regarding the insurgency resistance being encountered in Iraq – these are bitter-enders. Well said, Dick, well said!!!
