I really trust DeMint...so I would want to hear his reasoning...something must have been wrong.

“I really trust DeMint...so I would want to hear his reasoning...something must have been wrong.”
*****************************************************
You won’t be hearing it from DeMint (or Rubio for that matter) but the reasoning was likely to have avoided a pointless, self-inflicted political wounding. With the Democrats in control of the Senate, this was NOT going to pass. And if by some miracle it would have passed the Senate, the anti-American Obama would have vetoed it.

You can take it to the bank that once we have a significant Republican majority in the Senate and a Republican president (oh, please please please), both DeMint and Rubio will vote for that drilling if their votes are needed for passage.

I don't know DeMint's record. He seems to talk a good game. What has he ever done? Likewise Rubio, for that matter.
