Menendez calls out ‘unprecedented’ filibusters as DeMint backtracks on ‘Waterloo’

Senators from each of America's two major political parties lashed out at one another on a Sunday morning talk show. While the Republican hid behind talking points, in an unusual twist, the Democrat showed some spine.

In July, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) said if Republicans were able to stop health care reform it would "break" President Barack Obama. "If we're able to stop Obama on this it will be his Waterloo. It will break him," he said.

1. When he was asked about this he tried to hedge

"He really likes President Obama" I can't remember everything he said but in the end he was feeling uncomfortable because of the questions...I sat infront of the TV hollering at the screen "You Lie you sack of s--t" Its bad when your having a cup of peacefull morning and a hot cup of coffee, and that low life DeMint has you talking to yourself....Republicans LIE hourly they get away with it because they have no conscience....
