What DeMint and Heritage Forgot to Mention

I received a mass e-mail from Jim DeMint, the former Republican senator who is now the president of the conservative Heritage Foundation. He says that his “colleagues are hard at work making the case for conservative reforms in Washington, DC.” And of course he has to mention “principles like free enterprise, limited government, and the rule of law,” as if he and the Republicans he left in the Congress believe in such things. DeMint talks about “reining in the debt,” seemingly oblivious to the fact that he and the Republicans doubled the debt under Bush and that Republicans have controlled the House since the 2010 mid-term election. DeMint includes a photo “featuring a quote from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)” that “has been shared by tens of thousands of patriots on Facebook.”

Cruz forgot to say a president except Bush.
