It's been widely reported that Wisconsin Democrats have been discovered at their secret hideout at a Best Western in Rockford, IL, outside the jurisdiction of Wisconsin state troopers who would like them to return to Madison to do their job. While Republicans are at work, their colleagues across the aisle decided a contentious budget fight would be the perfect time to skip town for a little R&R in Rockford.
I'm a big fan of traveling, and I always like to pack my vacation agenda to the gills so I can really experience new places to the fullest. I'd like to help Wisconsin's Absentee Caucus do the same, so I did a little research on Rockford. While I'm not sure if they'll be keen on venturing out of their bunker at the 3-star Best Western Clock Tower Resort (map), here's a list just in case...

Take this article and others I found to the fight to the Libs on their own turf; put the Left on the defensive at at Digg and at Reddit and in Delicious and Stumbleupon
The dems in Texas tried that - ran to Oklahoma. Gov. Perry threatened to send the Texas Rangers to get ‘em. They said, “but they don’t have jurisdiction.” Perry said, “Yup, they do.” (Paraphrasing.) Whether or not they did, it was enough to bring ‘em back to Austin...
They need at least one Senate Dem to make a 3/5ths quorum needed to pass appropriations bills.
Passing legislation making Wisc a right-to-work state would not be an appropriations bill, and could be passed with a simple majority quorum, and a simple majority vote of those present.
Let the unions and the Dems chew on THAT.
Don’t expect it, I don’t think the Republicans are really serious, and are just posturing to look good for the Tea Party.
So can we send the Texas Rangers to IL to get the Wisconsin truants? Oh, and if they do I want pictures.
send the fbi. maybe one dim is being held against his will thus kidnapping and crossing state lines.
It would be more cost effective to send the RCMP. The Mounties always get their man, I've heard.
LOL. I wish. The Rangers do appear to have some VERY broad jurisdiction, but probably not really across state lines. That was probably a bluff by Perry.
Things like this is where our side misses out on great rhetoric opportunities that the radical left would seize upon in an instant.
Why aren’t our media folks crying:
“FIND A DEMOCRAT SENATOR, SAVE A STARVING WISCONSIN CHILD!!!
Who hasn’t had a taxpayer-paid breakfast, lunch, and school provided dinner in THREE DAYS!!
WHY DO DEMOCRATS HATE THE THE CHILDREN, AND WANT THEM TO STARVE????”
You don’t know Governor Scott Walker. He will do what he says. He was interviewed on WISN this morning. There is no backing down. He called out the Bembenek fourteen. Remember, Run, Bambi, Run?
I prefer the steak and pasta at Maria’s in Rockford.
The Mounties always get their man, I’ve heard.

Especially if they send “Sgt Preston”.
Of course, being libs etc, “Dudley Do-Right” would probably handle the situation adequately.

Wisconsin taxpayers will like learning that Illinois pensions are to be bailed out by Obama:
Quinn may ask feds to back Illinois pension debt
By: Lorene Yue February 18, 2011
(Crain’s) — Gov. Pat Quinn may ask the federal government to guarantee debt he said the state has to take on to make this year’s contribution to its pension fund.
The detail was disclosed within Mr. Quinn’s budget, which he released Wednesday, and was reported Friday by the New York Times.
