Unbelievable. What else was in the bill? Why would DeMint cross over?
May God give us strength.

Ok. Just got off the phone with DeMint’s office in D.C.
He voted not to defund because the rest of the bill was about setting the budget for the YEAR, and it only allowed for an approximately 4% cut.
The staffer said it is the GOP’s intention to continue to put the defunding in other bills.
I did ask if they considered a “death of a thousand cuts” for the Fed, in cutting whenever and wherever they can, and as he explained it, they could not do that once the bill today passed. That once it passed, they would have been unable to make further cuts.
