Man, you guys fold like cheap suits. Have a little faith. Sen. DeMint has always been a solid conservative and he has been a big supporter of new conservatives getting elected. He has taken on incumbent rino's in the primaries. This treaty hasn't been passed yet, maybe he stopped the reading because he's got the votes to stop it.

Why do they have to ram it through. That ALONE should clue you that it’s a bad deal.
What I’m hearing about wait until we hear what DeMint says. I remember hearing the same people on Free Republic say that about Bush and Karl Rove on some liberal bills and the Dubai Ports deal. Just wait.. Just wait... Yeah right!
That's not the point. We're at war, and DeMint just called off what would have been a successful air strike against the leftists in the Senate.
Reading these bills out loud on the floor is a weapon. This one would have eaten away 15 hours of the legislative clock, which would have seriously hampered the Democrats' ability to put through more damaging legislation in the waning days of the 111th Congress.
This is precisely why it's a mistake to promote legislators to the presidency. Few, if any of them can think like a field commander.

AMEN!
I will eat my words and admit I was wrong if he actually shows some spine and follows through on what he says he will do.
I like the idea of anyone reading the legislation out loud on the floor. At least we would know that someone has actually read the darn bill for once.
