I'll just take my ball and go home."That is sort of what Wisconsin Democrats did when they realized that they could not get their way on a vote to cut back collective bargaining rights of public sector unions. Only they went even further - they took a bus to another state (probably on the taxpayer dollar to boot).
Imagine the mainstream media shit storm that would have happened had this been the Republicans. Guess this is the bipartisanship that the Democrats are always whining about - "If we can't have our way, we will just refuse to participate." Maybe on the next tough vote they could threaten to hold their breath till they turn blue.
These people were elected to do a job - not run away when things get tough. Too bad the Governor can't just kick them out and appoint replacements.
I only wish we had enough Republicans in Washington so that the Democrats there would do the same thing (as long as the bus goes north and not south).
Just Slip Out the Back, Jack

Normally I would say that if All of the Democrats in my state wanted to leave, that would be a good thing.
