It's FLEEbagger fest! Indiana Democrats Run Away!

[AgeOfEnlightenmentSCP]

FLEEbagger dems FLEE Indiana now, hiding out under the wing of corrupt Democrat governor of IL to avoid the police.

Another state's Democrat representatives have gone AWOL- fled the state.

This is what over-playing one's hand looks like. This ain't France. Voters will remember this, and they won't remember Democrats well for this.

This sort of tactic is a complete subversion of democracy. A disrespect of the legislative process and the will of the citizenry.

They are making a mockery of our entire political system. It is almost like the US is now a third world country.

Third world would be an upgrade for Chicago. Chicago is nothing short of a criminal enterprise.

Indiana Dems also flee state to block union bill


Democratic lawmakers in Indiana have left the House chamber -- and apparently are leaving the state like their colleagues in Wisconsin -- rather than vote on anti-union legislation.

At least two of the 37 missing legislators said they fled to Illinois. The exodus of Indiana House members blocked the Republican majority from conducting business as hundreds of union members crowded hallways to protest the labor bill.

Only three of the 40 House Democrats were in the chamber when Republican Speaker Brian Bosma tried to begin the session this morning, leaving it short of the needed two-thirds for a quorum. Rep. Terri Austin of Anderson told Bosma her fellow Democrats were studying proposed legislation and that she couldn't predict when they would return.

Rep. Charlie Brown of Gary told The Associated Press that he and Rep. Greg Porter of Indianapolis are traveling in Illinois, but wouldn't say what their destination is. Rep. Peggy Welch of Bloomington also said she's "traveling."

The labor bill would prohibit union representation fees from being a condition of employment at most private companies. That issue has drawn strong opposition from union groups, who had several hundred members at the Statehouse for a second day after a GOP-led committee voted Monday to send the bill to the full House.

Union members watching from the House gallery and hallway outside cheered as Bosma put off House business until later today.

Bosma said he hadn't heard from Democratic leader Pat Bauer, D-South Bend, and that he wouldn't negotiate with people not doing their jobs, alluding to the deadlock in Wisconsin over labor legislation that led Senate Democrats there to leave the state.

"He's taken a page out of the Wisconsin Senate playbook apparently and is shirking the job that they were hired to do," Bosma said.

It is unfortunate that this is actually considered a viable political tool by either side.

Fleebagger is great! Who lays awake coming up with these names? Now the Democrats/Fleebaggers can compete with the Republicans/tea partiers!!

It is political theater. I had heard that Abraham Lincoln once jumped out of a second floor window, so to eliminate a quorum in either the Illinois legislator or when he was a US rep.

Check out our inner cities... and they are spreading.

Indiana is in a major recession, and our Democratic politicians spend money on room, drinks, and board in Illinois.
Hell, they could have stayed in Gary Indiana at one of the floating casinos in Gary, and no one would have found them.
