A tip of the hat in "solidarity" with my Illinois "brothers and sisters" who are relentlessly tracking the Flee Party renegades as they support the hospitality industry across northern Illinois.

However, we have way too many union-loving liberals in the Land of Lincoln as it is, and it's time to go home and DO YOUR JOBS!

Hilarious. This is why the Tea Party people are fantastic. Why make these AWOL losers vacation an easy ride. Hector them into insanity. If just one of these dopes gives up, the stunt is over. Great work TP.

I can’t reconcile the positions. Please help me.

1. During the last Congress, the Democrats in Washington were upset with Republicans for using filibusters and parliamentary manuvers to delay or prevent voting on issues in Congress. The Democrats say that we should have the debate on the issues, but at the end of the day, the legislative process should go forward, and we should proceed to final votes on the issues. Vote no, the Democrats say, if that’s your position, but put a stop to the parliamentary tricks to prevent legislation from going forward.

2. When confronted with a Republican governor and Republicans in the Wisconsin legislature, the Democrats do not allow the legislative process to move forward. They do not have the vigorous debate on the issues, but then proceed to a vote. They don’t vote no when a vote happens. Instead, they resort to the parliamentary manuver of leaving town so that the legislature doesn’t have the quorom (sp?) or minimal number of members present to conduct its business.

Can anybody help me reconcile these seemingly contradictory Democrat positions????

Has the word “FleeBaggers” been used yet to describe the WI state sens who abandoned their duties?

This whole situation is NUTS

Doesnt the WI constitution have anything about firing elected state government officials who refuse to fulfill their sworn duty to the state and its residents ???

Isnt this “dereliction of duty” ???

If a soldier pulled this he would be in jail...

You KNOW these slimes aren’t using their own credit cards. Is Wisconsin’s AG a republican? These 14 crooks should be charged with some kind of crime! Either theft of public property or bribery. Once the charges are filed the Illinois State Police can arrest them. Even if they’re found innocent it’ll be after the vote is taken.

If they are hiding out in chain motels (Best Western, Motel 6, etc.) maybe it’s time to apply a little pressure to those parent companies. Make it difficult for them to find a welcome anywhere other than Ed Scumly’s Roadside Fleabag Inn.

Is there anything at all that stops these 14 Wisconsin fleebaggers from just staying away the entire term?

As best I can tell, so long as public opinion in their districts support their actions, these 14 senators who effectively subverting a Democratic election could simply remain in Illinois till the next election.

These 14 are liberals from liberal districts who survived the GOP sweep. Public opinion is mixed at best, and may even be on the unions/democrats side at the moment - so what compels them to come back?

Additionally, since the mainstream media seems to have declared this subversion of democracy a legitimate tactic, might it become necessary for us to do the same thing in states where we are a minority? If this is now how the game is played, we may need to begin considering similar actions. For example, had the GOP left Wisconsin last session, could be have effectively blocked all the Democrat tax increases? Not saying I support these tactics at all, but if the rules of the game have changed, I don’t see how we can avoid playing without using all the same tools the Democrats will use.

Taking this to its logic conclusion, could a minority party simply get elected in a state they can’t win a majority in, and simply fly out of state for the entire term to avoid allowing quorum’s? So long as they are in partisan districts that are happy with the obstruction, what stops this from happening? Hell, the Indiana fleebaggers can’t even explain what they are hiding from, and they are in a red state - yet they are still getting away with it because they have support in their own districts. This could degenerate into the new norm if it is allowed to succeed anywhere.

OTOH

Many Wisconsiners are learning they don't need the government to survive &

Every day the Democrats are gone is one less day the Wisconsin state government can mess up people's lives.

Those are not necessarily bad things.

Might even make the shutdown of the federal government more palatable.

I really want to chase these bastards but unlike them I actually have to go to work and run a business while these fools are fleeing from motel to motel. I hope the bums get bed bugs.

This is a truly commendable use of Facebook, however we
should all keep in mind that Facebook is not the entirety
of the new fangled social media, and that it is not necessarily
friendly territory. Diaspora (see joindiaspora.com) is
a decentralized social networking alternative. It is alas,
highly dependent as of now on javascript and hence lynx
users cannot really use it either.
