DeMint says Obama voters have ‘buyer’s remorse’

Sen. Jim DeMint said yesterday that supporters of President Obama are experiencing “buyer’s remorse.”

“After Obama led this emotional swoon across the country during his election, where thousands came out for hope and change, which I think many believe–they have a little buyer’s remorse,” DeMint told Newsmax. “The swoon is over and more and more people are taking to their feet and they’re speaking out.”

DeMint added that Americans are worried about growing socialism.

“They don’t want to see America go in the direction of socialized Europe,” he said. “More and more Americans are concerned that this new administration is intent on socializing a larger and larger area of our economy. And I’m concerned that the Obama administration and anyone in it would say that speaking out, taking advantage of our freedom of speech, is a bad thing.”

The South Carolina conservative said that government healthcare is “the last thing we need,” and said the Republicans need to offer a real alternative to Obama.

“I feel that Republicans are starting to get the message of the last two elections–that the American people don’t want a lukewarm agenda,” DeMint said. “They don’t want a liberal light agenda.”
