Seems people here are ready to burn DeMint at the stake. Why doesn’t he get a pass? Is that because he actually has to put his money where his mouth is? He doesn’t have a bevy of supporters willing to gloss over his faux pas for him.
Why is he any different?
Your post is completely illogical.
We were talking about Sarah Palin, were we not?
DeMint himself said he would read the bill, then he backed off.
He should get a pass? What for?
The whole issue is that DeMint opened his mouth of his own free will and then he caved. That si significant at this point in time, because had he followed through on his promise, he could have tied up the Senate for a whole day, which would have increased the chances of this Lame Duck Session creating less damage.
Just another example of the Republicans not standing their ground.
