Not So Minty!

It’s hard to believe this story but it’s true.
Sen. Jim DeMint’s office yesterday slammed the Obama Whitehouse for failures to stop terror attacks on the U.S. and that because the Obama administration has failed to get his department heads in place, our nation is less secure because of it.

Then we come to find out that the ONLY reason there is no department heads for the TSA and Border Patrol is because there is a Senator that is Filibustering the Nominations.
Who is that Senator? Himself – Jim DeMint
“A Republican senator who has been blocking President Barack Obama's nominee to head the Transportation Security Administration complains that Democrats are trying to rush a vote on the nominee without adequate debate.
Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina has placed a hold on the nomination of former FBI agent and police detective Erroll Southers.
DeMint said Wednesday that he is concerned that Southers would let TSA screeners join a labor union.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has accused Republicans of jeopardizing national security by playing politics with Southers' nomination. But today, Sen DeMint’s office sent that charge right back to the Democrats suggesting that the Whitehouse is stalling to replace Southers and that they were responsible for any and all failures in the system. The holdup in Southers' confirmation has been highlighted since the airliner attack last week in Detroit.
Reaction from Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s office was asking for there to be clarification from Sen. DeMint’s Office on objection to the Whitehouse’s nomination of Erroll Southers and a pathway to his up or down vote.”
So what’s the deal DeMint?
