Sen. DeMint urges Republicans to listen to Ron Paul

By Alicia M. Cohn

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said Wednesday the Republican presidential candidates need to listen to Ron Paul and would benefit from integrating some of his libertarian ideas into their platform.

<...>

DeMint said he does not agree with the Texas congressman on everything but that the rest of the GOP presidential field should capture some of what Paul's been talking about for years because the Republican Party "needs" the libertarian movement.

"You don't have to agree with everything he's saying, but if the other candidates miss some of the wisdom about what he's saying about monetary policy ... that will be to our detriment," DeMint said.

DeMint, who is an influential conservative lawmaker with a key role in the Tea Party movement, said the debate within the Republican Party he's most comfortable with is between conservatives and libertarians.

DeMint advisers to endorse Romney

Posted by CNN Political Reporter Peter Hamby

Columbia, South Carolina (CNN) - A group of loyalists to South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint - including a top fundraiser for Rick Perry - will publicly endorse Mitt Romney's presidential bid on Thursday, a source confirmed to CNN.

Former South Carolina GOP Chairman Barry Wynn, Columbia businessman and fundraiser Peter Brown, and Columbia attorney Kevin Hall will announce their support for Romney Thursday.

<...>

But their endorsement signals that Romney, the GOP frontrunner in South Carolina, has made significant inroads with the Columbia political class after his wins in Iowa and New Hampshire.

DeMint backed Romney in 2008 but has remained neutral in this presidential race.

3. Libertarians should laugh at the GOP trying to co-opt them.

Be yourselves guys, you're not fooling anyone.
