DeMint to Spartanburg County conservatives wanting faster download speeds: Drop dead. I'm gonna get re-elected no matter what so I can enact laws to keep myself from getting re-elected.

Back in July Gary Coates at The Conservativist (that's Spartanburg) complained:

And one last thing.  DSL 6.0 in Spartanburg SUCKS!  What has taken me several hours to upload at home I was able to upload in 20 minutes here in Indianapolis.

Get used to the suck, Gar- it's all Jim DeMint wants  you to have. He thinks it'd be socialism if you could spend 12.5 minutes uploading a video of Dr Alan Keyes spewing hate if you were in Japan, versus 2.5 hours here at home.


He thinks it's just fine for the US to be 28th in the world in net access speeds.
