The POS democrats do this quite a bit. A remember several years ago when they ran out of the Texas legislature for the same reason. Pigs.

Democrats love our orderly representative republic.

As long as they win each vote.

He might have been a little bit wacky, but when Jesse Ventura was governor I read that he locked an entire committee in a room with his Rottweilers until they voted on a bill he wanted passed.

The Texas episode in 2003 is the first thing I thought of when read the headline. Those TX Rats where living motels under assumed names to avoid voting. Apparently this is not uncommon in certain states.

You insult pigs and I don't even eat pork!

I can't even express how thoroughly juvenile and lunatic it is for a party of elected representatives--adults--to run and hide to avoid taking a vote!
