Jim DeMint: “Senator DeMint, people often have noble intent, but I think there are unintended consequences by some of the actions.”

Certainly, the Federal Government needs to be an example everywhere we can.

I think Senator DeMint had a really interesting concept.

His proposal was so outlandish, I don't think we should go back to the table until he puts something there that we can work with.
