Liberal democrats who have left the state of Wisconsin and Ind, now have a new names for themselves, from now on they will be called fleebaggers!
The New Cut-and-Run Democrats; First lady Michelle Obama said, "Let's Move!" Who knew Democratic politicians in Wisconsin and Indiana would take her literally? Faced with stifling debt, bloated pensions and intractable government unions, liberal Midwestern legislators have fled those states.
I wonder how the Dem-dominated media would react if Republicans tried the same tactic of not allowing for a quorum?
It would be worse than their anti-filibuster bashing.
You lost, take your medicine and vote against the anti-union bill. Maybe voters will bring back the Dems in 2012 and you can reverse the vote then.

I posted this on another thread but I will here too.
Teabaggers as they call us, stand up and fight for what Americans want and need. Fleebaggers run and hide because they are too afraid to fight for what they belive in. And what is so funny is that you will have Libs on here saying that running away is fighting and standing up for the people. Perfect example of pacifists and why they should not be in control of anything. They are followers and not leaders and they run and hide rather than fight for what they believe in.
In 1988, Republicans fled the US Capitol to prevent a quorum so that legislation would not pass. Arrest warrants were issued, and Republican Sen. Packwood was arrested and physically carried into the Capitol by the police.
And of course the incident where Abraham Lincoln jumped out the second story window to prevent a quorum.
So the Dems learned from the Republicans.

In 1988 (32 years ago) they were cowards too. I don't respect anyone who runs and hides. SO why aren't they arresting the Dems who are shutting down the states right NOW in the middle of an economic crisis?
Actually the Wisconsin Democrats are saving Hosni Walker's bacon. If he rams his legislation through, Wisconsin will lose $46 million a year in federal highway funding.
