Fox Nation has learned exclusively from a highly placed source within Wisconsin state politics that the fourteen AWOL Democrats are experiencing "dissension in the ranks." State Sen. Julie Lassa (D) is pregnant and "extremely unhappy" about being on the run. State Sen. Jon Erpenbach (D) has been hit particularly hard by his paycheck being withheld.

Choice!
She's a lib dem. I'm surprised Planned Parenthood isn't offering to perform an abortion at her hotel.
Um...all the Tea Partiers are at work.
Last Saturday we held a huge tea party rally at the Capitol on the other side of the building. The Capitol police told us we could NOT go in the building. However, the union thugs and their useful idiots on the other side were allowed in.
Many of our people had signs that said “We can only protest on Saturday because we WORK Monday through Friday”
Choice!
Yes, surprised her flee-bagging friends have not demanded that she get her government endorsed mandatory abortion. Sheesh, doesn't she understand the meaning of choice?? /sarc
That's a vivid example of part of the problem and how hard the fight is. I don't know how you solve this, but part of the government is in union and leftist hands and is actively working against the taxpayers who are becoming tax serfs who exist to support a new ruling class.
Illinois has doctors?
Life can be tough if you are doing the wrong thing.
FOX,
You are really pissed and you nailed it.
If the demonRATs think that they are coming home to a parade, they better get used to rotten eggs and tomatoes.
Shit will taste better than what will be shoved down their throats.
I don’t care about their difficulties.
She is 8 MONTHS pregnant so she is probably a little uncomfortable just from that. They care close to giving up because they now realize two things. #1 Gov Walker is not caving #2 Even the RINO Republican Senators are standing behind Walker....Game, set, match. The Dems have 0 power in this situation, even with the sympathetic media they still have no way to get Walker to ‘compromise’.
>>Illinois has doctors.
I hear they still treat with leaches.
No need to pass a new bill, one already exists, but the threshold is 30 days. The clock is ticking...

Cite, please. Thanks!
Thank God I don’t know personally.

Wisconsin’s Newest Progressive
The Republican governor wants a new social contract.
By JOHN FUND
Snip:
“I very much want to avoid laying people off,” Mr. Walker says. But his experience as county executive taught him that “not everyone feels that way. During budget crises I would push for a couple of weeks where workers would only put in 35 hours so we didn’t have to cut jobs, but union leaders would say no. It’s reactionary.” He says there’s a gulf between the interests of union leaders and those of their members. “When they say it’s about worker rights, it’s really about big union bosses running their own political dynasties.” That’s why the parts of his plan that most stick in the craw of union leaders are the ones that would limit their power.
Mr. Walker says that the employee rights that people care about are protected by civil-service rules, not collective bargaining. “We have the strongest protections in the country on grievance procedures, merit hiring, and just cause for disciplining and terminating employees,” he says. “None of that changes under my plan.” Mr. Walker notes that the single largest group affected by his proposal are the 30,000 workers at the University of Wisconsin who were only granted collective-bargaining rights in 2009. “If they only got them two years ago, how can you say they’re set in stone?”

I’d bet Walker had a talk with Rick Perry. Perry waited out the Democrats when they took off in 2003. It’s not like it’s the first time this tactic has been pulled.
