Wouldn't want to actually..you know..debate the merits of the proposal. That would require work, and thought, and...OMG!!!...we might lose! And the unionized employees we've ridden to office on for all these years might actually have to...OMG!!...work in the same economy as the rest of the citizens! OMG!!
Really. Rather than do their duty, they skipped town.
Just in a few minutes ago...
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - A Wisconsin state senator says the 14 Democratic lawmakers who are boycotting a vote on a controversial anti-union bill have left the state.
Sen. Jon Erpenbach says the group wants to force negotiations over the Republican-backed bill, which would strip most public employees of their collective-bargaining rights.
Erpenbach told The Associated Press that he and his colleagues had left Wisconsin, but he would not say where.
He said the plan is to slow down the bill because it's "tearing the state apart."
Senate Republicans can't vote on the bill unless at least one Democrat is present. Police could be dispatched to retrieve them, but it was unclear if they would have the authority to cross state lines.
Welcome to Athens, Wisconsin.
And the true face and character of the American Left.
'We want to negotiate, as long as we get our way.'
So much for the 'adult conversation' Himself blathers about. The grownups have arrived to the state house, and are cutting up the credit card and taking away the keys from Junior. He's pissed, so he storms out of the house...
