Will there be a litmus test for Republican presidential candidates? Damn straight there will be. Senator Jim Demint of South Carolina, the lone Tea Party supporter in the Senate prior to the last election has compiled one with the aid of several conservative groups. Senator DeMint does not grade on the curve so candidates should be advised that the test will be pass-fail. The four parts of the test are: Cut, Cap, Balance, and Pledge. In this test a candidate must Pledge to oppose raising the debt limit without substantial Cuts, and enforceable spending Caps and the passage of a Balanced budget amendment. "I'm telling every presidential candidate, if your name isn't on this list, don't come see me," DeMint said.
