(CNN) – Republican Sen. Jim DeMint said he's "disappointed" Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann has not signed the "cut, cap, balance" pledge to slash spending and balance the budget.

She said the "cut, cap, balance" pledge doesn't go far enough yet she voted for Paul Ryan's budget that will add $8.8 trillion in new debt over the next 10 years. We need to make her supporters aware of this.

Straight from Paul Ryan's budget:


(5) DEBT SUBJECT TO LIMIT- Pursuant to section 301(a)(5) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the appropriate levels of the public debt are as follows:

Fiscal year 2012: $16,204,000,000,000.

Hmm....

Bummer. If he's disappointed in Bachmann, who is the only other Tea Party Republican he could potentially endorse...hmm...

[Eric21ND]

Does this mean Romney impresses him? eh

[HOLLYWOOD]

Jim DeMint endorsed Mitt Romney in 2008... he's no different than the scummy politicians... he will see who's the top 2, then back the moderate of the 2.

He spoke highly of Romney on MORNING JOE/MSNBC... today.

Demint is your sly politician, playing all sides.

Yeah, I listened in on the recent conference call but Demint did not fool me. I got a ear for BS...

Yikes! I wasn't even aware of this! I really thought he was a true conservative when I heard his speech at the RSLC. Well guess I learned something revealing about him today.

[Aratus]

this is early. if DeMint is holding back until
someone arrives at a consensus before he
backs a contender, then yes... he plays his
cards close to the vest, not from his sleave.

Demint is nothing more than a liar.

Yall are nuts. Until we get more of us in Congress, we are going to need allies like Demint.

I agree. On the priority list of needing to receive 2 Minutes Hate from me, friends of Ron/Rand are at the bottom. Meanwhile, Obummer is threatening to not send out SS checks to try and make the GOP look evil.

I hope the (R)'s call Obama's bluff.

Craziness. Then they act shocked when Redstate takes their boy behind the woodshed with the same pettiness. What comes around goes around. I get sick reading some of the crap around here which echoes some of the stuff I read about Ron Paul on some of those other sites.

[MozoVote]

I'll give Demint a C+

He does say some things that bother me, but we need him there. I'd trade Richard Burr for him.
