Haley Barbour to DeMint: Let's face it, Cut, Cap and Balance can't pass

“Our people have to understand that we can’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good,” Barbour said…

“If I had my way, if I were a dictator, we’d have no tax increases,” he said. “But Republicans control one half of one third of the government.”

Barbour said Tea Party Republicans such as Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) needed to get behind Boehner’s effort, rather than clinging to the “Cut, Cap and Balance” Act which passed the House but “isn’t going anywhere in the Senate.”
