The 14 Senate Dems who left the state in an attempt to stop a vote on the budget repair bill will be featured at tomorrow's Capitol rally, organizers have announced.
Flee Party. It’s the Flee Party now.
Walker should now lock them out of the building LOL
Obama’s Friday press conference did not include a single question about the events in Wisconsin, which makes clear the actions taken by Governor Walker were a defeat for Obama, media acolytes and Democrats in general. The absence of comment is a time honored political strategy to deal with such a defeat. Nearly 70 years ago Dr. Joseph Goebbels, the gifted political strategist of the Nazi regime, managed an allied political initiative as follows:
“A much more clever form of propaganda against the Reich has been proposed by the United States. The idea is not to go against the German people, but against Nazism. I sense a certain danger. Fortunately the enemy propaganda is not so unified and consistent as to be able to stick to such a propaganda slogan for a period of years. If this were the case, we would face great difficulties every time we were under a new, heavy strain.
If I were on the enemy side, I should from the very first day on have adopted the slogan of fighting against Nazism, but not against the German people. That’s how Chamberlain began on the first day of the war, but thank God, the English didn’t follow through. I gave orders that the German press is not to publish or discuss turns of speech such as are being used increasingly in the American press. One should simply not talk about these things. Even if you argue about them you nevertheless spread them.”
Given the title, I was thinking more along the lines of a variation of that Bus Boys classic “The Boys Are Back In Town.”
They are some genuine ‘RAT heroes. LOL! Mikey Moore owes each one of them a box of donuts and a big stack of pancakes.

Sounds like fun!!! I think the local Tea Party should attend.
given the events of today in Japan, etc, does anyone really care? Unfortunately for them mother nature stole their thunder.
Just makes them seem even more selfish, doesn’t it?
Oh no, we have to take a 7% cut in pay from the taxpayers! Walker just clowned Barry Obama, and I love it.
Time to pass the most important part of the whole affair which are the pension and benefit adjustments that will strengthen Wisconsin’s budgetary situation.
Tony Shaloub. Mr. Monk sit down and shut up.
Rat Pack
Tony Shaloub. Mr. Monk sit down and shut up.
Amen! I’ve had enough hollywood intervention. Why don’t they fix California and leave the rest of us alone.
