By choosing to pander to their public sector union supporters and financiers rather than serve the hard working taxpayers of Wisconsin, the 14 Democrat Senators who are cowering in the People’s Republic of Illinois will bear the responsibility for $165 million in additional debt service costs. Lost amid the well organized protests in Madison and dwarfed by rumors of crippling strikes in the wake of meaningful fiscal reform is today’s deadline for debt restructuring.

The obstructionist Democrat Senators disgraceful action will now be paid for by the people of Wisconsin.

Yeah, but when a Democrat lawmaker shows up it costs even MORE!!

[Crawdad]

Why hasn’t the gov. been screaming this fact?

[workerbee]

Isn’t there not a single one of these pukes who have the guts to step forward and vote? Not one? Is every one of them a despicable, cowardly, unAmerican piece of feces?

[hosepipe]

lol...

They are Democrats. What answer do you need beyond that?

[Bigh4u2]

Well.. they ARE democrats..

[Bigh4u2]

Beat me by mere seconds..

Even more proof that the Demos don’t care about saving the state any money. That $165 million not wasted could have been a bargaining chip. But no - wasting other-people’s money is what the Dems do best.

Democrat Senators disgraceful action will now be paid for by the people of Wisconsin. So what's new? The layoffs will be starting shortly as the state will be short of funds for the fiscal year ending 6/30/2011. Without the senators the budget hole doesn't get plugged. Of course it's the least senior who get laid off so the unions or senior staff don't care. The liberals and the news media will use the laid off staff as Republican victims.

A legislator from Maine made the trek out to WI to show “solidarity.” Our gov called her out today as someone who was AWOL from her job.

They are DIMocRATS. They hate you, your family and your future. What’s it to them if you are taxed into serfdom? Like they care. Losers all. Maybe society should consider bringing back tarring and feathering.

[eyedigress]

Just start printing pink slips governor. You also need to hire a PR camp to make sure it is understood what it means to be a leader.

[TheBattman]

Democrats are all about the “democratic process” until the voters send another bunch up to do their will...

[garjog]

[Carling]

Why would he? He'll simply point out that the Dems running away cost the state $165 million, and that necessitates laying off workers ASAP. The Dems look like the bad guys in that scenario.

[workerbee]

I know, but still. We all know people who are culturally “Democrat” in name that still have American values at their core. (Don’t ask me WHY they still align themselves with the crapola communists...)

I just can’t believe that at least 1 of the 14 Wisconsin pukes hasn’t been shamed into returning. It just makes me sick.

[eyedigress]

Don’t forget the rail............ ;^)

Bflv.
