MADISON, Wis. – Democrats on the run in Wisconsin avoided state troopers Friday and threatened to stay in hiding for weeks, potentially paralyzing the state government in a standoff with majority Republicans over union rights for public employees. article link
KPIR says: Typically, a headline that reads "Democrats plan to stay away for weeks" sounds wonderful, but this just brings shame to our entire system of democracy. First of all, could you image if these were republicans leaving the state to avoid bringing the bill to a vote? Remember how the media always seemed to slam republicans when they all voted in sync against the health care bill in congress? The media and democrats demonized them because they were acting in such a partisan way. FLASHBACK: Bill Clinton rips on republicans for being 'obstructionists' against health care reform. (Huffingtonpost Article) At least republicans show up to vote instead of running away. If you think about it, this is normal...democrats are used to running away from being present during a vote...just look at President Obama. FLASHBACK: The "present" votes of Barack Obama.(Real Clear Politics Article) The democrats in Wisconsin are probably just preparing their resume for a 2012 presidential run. Abstaining from voting in congress worked for Obama in the Illinois General Assembly. I guess the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree...but far enough away from Wisconsin State Troopers, apparently.
