Sen. Jim DeMint was joined this week by 32 Republican colleagues in the Senate, including several not usually seen making common cause with the South Carolinian, to warn GOP members of the congressional super committee against any tax increase.

And long-time conservative strategist and fund raiser Richard Viguerie is lauding DeMint and his fellow Senate letter-signers for making clear “the $600 billion tax hike Republicans floated last week is a nonstarter for conservatives.” His comments come in a piece published today on Conservative HQ.
