Impeach, fire, hang or resign…You choose slimeballs.

Conservatives: Doing the tough fiscal jobs liberals just wont do !
bigkahuna commented:
I hear they are in some hotel. I hope the GOP makes sure they all pay for their rooms and dont let them force it on those taxpayers.
Conservative Ken commented:
Is there a reward? Cause I know a good Bounty Hunter>
Oh Noes! commented:
Cowards!
Gman commented:
The new poster boys of cowardice.
Ella commented:
I hope we have Tea Partiers camping out by the hotel. We need to follow this scum. Just like their side is stalking our brave Wisconsin Governor and the GOP lawmakers at their homes, we need to follow these vermin and make sure we know where they are at all times. And dock ‘em for pay and hit them with whatever administrative penalties we can find. Punish ‘em good.
donh commented:
How about an amber alert. The democrats used the 911 system in our state to make a reverse call to voters on election day when exit polls showed a tight race.
jsbrodhead commented:
Hey, this might be a good trend for ALL STATES! Get the DemonicRATs running and hiding, abandoning their sworn duties.
I think one Repub legislator in WI should turn Dem for a couple days, so the government can GET STUFF DONE!
Rock commented:
Wisconsin tragic answer to Comedy Central. Who will be the buffoon who takes the hit on this joke in living color for the whole world to see. I once thought that the fights we saw filmed in Houses of Government around the world where over the top, now we see these fools acting like a bunch of Ferris Bueller high school dropouts. Real classy Democraps. Your moms must be so proud.
Warthog commented:
They really don’t know what century this is, do they? They are going to be hounded by every blogger with a camer and free time, (which is all of em’).
They can’t hope that the MSM will cover for them or have their story put in a sympathetic light like what happened in Texas ten years agon. There will be swarms of ordinary citizens hoping for a few hits, a link or two from the big boys (see story below) or just for the hell of it out there stalking them.
Poor bastards, one video of them in a hallway looking motel-grungy and dodging the camera could go viral and BAM, primaried out or losing in the next general election.
I pity them.
(But only for a moment and then I realize they’re spineless weasels…)
Justin commented:
This putting up a wanted poster targeting 14 heroic Wisconsin Dems is offensive, just like the rest of your fact-free blog.
tommy mc donnell commented:
#13 whats offensive is 14 elected officials refusing to do the job that they were elected to do. you would never condone republican elected officials doing this. and neither would obama.
Warthog commented:
Justin, you are a weenie.
Your heroes, the Democrat state senators who are abrogating their duty under the law are weenies too.
And every passing day, with every new video of them dodging the citizenry and their duty, their weenidom grows.
(Democrats: party of weenies…)
jainphx commented:
The whole damn Demoncrapic party is either cowards, or liars, or both. If this was a group of R’s that did this Houdini, the police from both states would have the hotel surrounded and telling them to come out with their hands up.
Doesn’t anyone else besides me get so DAMN mad when these idiots pull unconstitutional crap. How can this be allowed, how can the people of Wisconsin allow this. The left is a group of SICK ba terds.
Edouard commented:

Call the Waaaaaaaamubulance! Justin found it “offensive”! Gateway Pundit hurt Justin’s supersensitive progressive feelings! Justin frets that someone with a liberal (i.e. small) mental age will misunderstand the poster and do harm! Can the nation ever survive the bruising of Justin’s precious prissy perceptions?
jainphx commented:
It’s either do it our way or we wont play. Run you cowardly despots, you’re showing the true colors of that Damn party, it’s white flag and surrender, or run away. TYPICAL of the Demoncowards.
mark commented:
Hold a special election tomorrow to fill the empty seats.
Melissa commented:
I love the graphic.
Now according to this: http://www.wisconsinreporter.com/gop-might-not-need-democrats-to-pass-controversial-legislation, the reason the 19 Republicans need a Democrat to show up is because the bill has been deemed a fiscal bill. If it was not a fiscal bill, they would only need 17 Senators. This begs the question, what bills should they be introducing and passing while they wait for the AWOL Democrats to show up?
Any legislator who goes AWOL will be deemed to have resigned from his or her post
Public Employees do not have the right to engage in collective bargaining
Abolish tenure for teachers
Add abortion providers and their employees to the list of mandatory reporters of potential child abuse
Make it a felony to encourage a teenager to lie about her age in order to procure an abortion
Require that any person who wishes to be placed on a Wisconsin ballot provide evidence that he or she meets all of the requirements of that office. Evidence of U.S. citizenship shall be required in the form of a long form certificate of live birth or a certificate of naturalization.
Require all voters to provide a government issued picture ID in order to vote
Eliminate same day voter registration
Any other suggestions
Redwine commented:
Keep ‘em running. Get stuff done. The minute they show up, fire them for dereliction of duty, subtract from their pay and use the money to pave a road or something else useful.
wanumba commented:
The Democratic Party should have been outlawed after the Civil War, but it has been allowed to continue on with its behavior of total disrespect for the US Constitution, our laws and lawful processes, with zero regard for the human costs of their disruptive and violent tendencies.
These are people who are screeching about, laying on the floor and kicking like two-year-olds are ADULTS who live in nice homes, own at least two cars, several TVs, a refrige and freezer full of food and they have the NERVE to whinge “slavery.”
Let the rotten brats – the New Vandals who will destroy everyone else’s hard work – hold their breaths until they turn blue and pass out. Then roll them up and ship them to Sierra Leone to get a dose of real life.
rose commented:
http://annapuna.blogspot.com/2011/02/on-wisconsin.html <– some funny ones here. #5. To prevent future stampedes of the Democrats, they need Lo-Jack installed. Or bright orange radio collars. Maybe keep it cheap, photos on milk cartons. Or if they keep escaping, shock collars with the shock wire laid around the Legislature.
GP loves Obama commented:
Are they on the lamb and using Tax payer dollars for their little adventure — I say state Prison for a year until cool heads prevail.
C-Christian Soldier commented:
tax payer $$$$$$$$$$$ used so our ‘servants’ (royals?!) in government can – continue to stick it to us in the US…
When are we going to – finally- say enough…

Dan commented:
How long do they have to be missing before they can be declared legally dead?
Andreas K. commented:
They refuse to work?
Fired. That’s how it goes in the real world. Time for these parasites to get a taste of this real world.
tarpon commented:
Watch the Rats run … Who do they think they are running from?
Fire all the lying teachers instead. If you lie to hide from working that should be sufficient cause. And here I thought it was ‘for the children’.
Ed commented:

eaglewingz08 commented:
Remember in Texas when the repubs put forward redistricting legislation in 2002, I believe, the Austin Democraps did the same thing and fled, I believe, to Oklahoma and surrounding states to try to impair a quorum. Gov. Walker should withhold the legislator’s salaries for their AWOL, and should look into public officer violations against them for dereliction of duty.
notagain commented:
These union loved coward democrats are driving a MAZDA. Gotta love it.
CJ commented:
Silly Libs. Politics are for adults.
donh commented:
Note how only one of these portrait pictures has the democrat photographed with a US flag. This AWOL constitutes a defacto resignation and the Senate can proceed with 19 as full attendance quarum.
archtop commented:
Think of the dangerous precedent this kind of action by the Wisconsin 14 is setting for all state and national governing bodies.
If some powerful group (the public unions in this case) decides they don’t like ANY proposed legislation, they simply stop government from functioning. Elections don’t matter. If they pull off a victory here, what to stop them from making other demands? If the unions want 100% pay increase, then they will get it… or else!
Perhaps Wisconsin Democrats should hire Hugo Chavez to help them direct their strategy to take over the government there…
toongoon commented:
The democrat party is run like a plantation.
The members only do whey are told to do.
The “14 heroic Wisconsin Dems”, as some moron claimed above, have no integrity or sense of responsibility to the citizens of Wisconsin.
This is not a display of courage, it is nothing but the worst elements of our society doing everything they can to return our republic to slavery. A slavery that would be worse than it was in the 18th and 19th centuries.
These (anti)”heroes” were ordered to leave the state.
Wisconsin citizens and the rest of states are in heap big trouble if the progressives, commies win this battle.
Shame on the teachers for their particpation in this and for what they done to the students ithe past few days.
JR commented:
Say… Isn’t that “pro-union” democrat getting into a FOREIGN CAR??? How many of our union bretheren live in Tokyo? (Ans: NONE) These government hacks are being paid their salaries by American workers – you would think they would have the decency to buy the products of the people putting food on their table. But when have leftists ever had a conscience? Their only goals are power and the continuance of their power.
Hedgehog commented:
The Senator in the suit said that he was doing his job. He said that his “job today is to delay the vote” . That would be why? So the union thugs have time to gather a rent a mob for Saturday? This guy is a tool. All of the Dems who slinked out of town are tools. They did it, not as a political stunt, but to allow time to gather a crowd and get the cameras in position on Saturday. Trumpka and his pals will no doubt be arriving by the busload to “show solidarity”. This could get ugly. The Commies have been waiting for this for a long time, and have no doubt that they are well “organized”.
cutlers bad knee commented:
I live near this area , could someone tell me of any counter protests or any gathering of tea party or others, i would be happy to be involved against these union lib democrap morons in Madison.
Any info ?
cutlers bad knee commented:
Just seen the post above,thanks Gateway count me in……
KR commented:
Interesting how these AWOL dems tried to pull a desperate threat: we’re not returning until our requests are met.
mike191 commented:
The arrogance of these cowards is on full display to the citizens of this Nation.Moreover, by denying a quorum to put your vote on record and others is the end of a Republic.I trust the voters will see what has the Democractic party evolved into and end this tyranny.
Marie commented:
Hey Justin, you know what I find offensive? Racking up Trillions of dollars in debt and sticking the taxpayer with the bill. Go have yourself a good cry Justin, you and your union goons are going to loose this showdown.
Ella commented:
What’s on display here is exactly how it works in Europe. The “workers” don’t get what they want, labor goes on strike. That they shut down entire countries is of no concern to them.
Wake up people, this is how it works. You’re getting a good dose of it. Obama is laughing. We will get lots and lots more of this in various forms. We have got to stop it now and I mean NOW.
Start firing the teachers. We must show that we will not stand for this. I am calling for our side to protest NATIONWIDE tomorrow to oppose this union scum. DO IT!
Ricky Vines commented:
I love the post & the comments.

“That’s… that’s enough music for now lads,
*** there’s dirty work afoot*** ???.”
Brave Sir Robin ran away.
(“No!”)
Bravely ran away away.
(“I didn’t!”)
When danger reared it’s ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
(“no!”)
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
(“I didn’t!”)
And gallantly he chickened out.
****Bravely**** taking (“I never did!”) to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat.
(“all lies!”)
Bravest of the braaaave, Sir Robin!
(“I never!”)

Melissa #20 commented:
Your idea is pure genius! If the Republicans started passing non-spending bills that infuriate the left, they will come back to work.
How about a bill stating that schools cannot prohibit students from praying at school.
Mark1957 commented:
Pass a bill that repeals the law requiring ALL state workers to join the union.
MA commented:
My hope is that the new WI governor and majority keep up the fight and don’t back down. It’s time to say HELL NO and balance the state’s checkbook without raising more taxes on the backs of WI citizens. I wish I lived in WI instead of CT.
Mark1957 commented:
Pass a bill declaring Wisconsin a “Right – to – Work” state.
Ed commented:
The way the union and the democrats in Wisconsin are using kids as their political pawns is enough reason to push for school vouchers. stop the union from using school children to feed their greed…starve the beast by using school vouchers. give the parents a choice whether to allow their kids to be used as political pawns by the union claiming to have the kids’ future in mind or be in a private school away from the ugly political marches that teachers have forced the school children to join and be in harms way.
tj commented:
If I were Governor of Wisconsin… I’d be tempted to declare a state of emergency… apparently someone has kidnapped ALL of the Democratic legislators..
During the temporary state of emergency, I’d pass an executive order.. in effect until we can get those poor missing legislators back to vote on this critical issue..
Mark1957 commented:
Someone should explain to those clueless students that they are the ones who will be stuck paying 100% of the cost of the union pensions. I bet many of them would change their tune.
Chris commented:
This is what passes for “having adult discussions on the issues” on the Dem/Lib side of the spectrum.
“You’re not allowed to win at this game,” they said, kicking the gameboard off the table and sending game pieces flying in all directions.
“We refuse to play anymore! Nanny-nanny-pooh-pooh to you, too! So there!”
Yup, that’ll show ‘em —- but not quite what they intended to be showing everyone by their little temper tantrum, I’m sure….
Chisum commented:
Via Ed Driscoll:
Quote of the Day
“Impasse serves no one except the ideological few who seem too eager to trumpet political victory. When nothing happens, we fail. In order to finalize this budget each side must sacrifice matters of value. The system will fall apart if we as legislators don’t try to work together, to give some ground when we need to in order to move forward.”
– Wisconsin state senator Bob Jauch back in 2007, one of the many state Democrats last seen hiding out inside the Tilted Kilt in Rockford, Illinois.
olm commented:
I’m reading that these protests are spreading to other states.
I don’t understand how the Democrats/Unions/Obama can’t get that there is no money.
My only conclusion is that they do understand and this is Cloward Piven end game and destruction, total destruction from the inside out.
You’ve got to wonder if these older union members that you see screaming about the rich and evil coorporations have any idea that they are working to collapse the US.

BRAVO! YES, WANTED FOR TREASON AND OR ANARCHY. FOLLOW THE BREAD CRUMBS! CAN YOU IMAGINE IF REPUBLICANS HAD DONE THIS! THEY WOULD KICK THEM OUT PERIOD WITH NO EXCUSES! THEY ARE A DISGRACE TO STATE AND COUNTRY! COWARDS! FIRE THEM! THEY GET PAID WELL AND ARE SUPPOSE TO BE ENTRUSTED SERVANTS OF THE STATE. THIS IS WHERE IT FALLS UNDER TREASON!

Cliff commented:
Excuse me; I thought you guys were conservatives. I have a new name–WACKO’S! The greatest danger to this country is not the Taliban or terrorists; it’s right-wing, off-the-chart, selfish, religious wacko’s who wish to impose their warped agenda on Americans! Do you people value anything besides selfishness and money?
Cliff commented:
Boy, you guys just don’t get it. It’s not about taking cuts in salary and benefits. It’s about the right to negotiate with your employer. Perhaps you’d prefer that teachers shuttle coal and work by oil lamps. Or maybe kids should still be pushing carts through coal mines.
Jeff L commented:
Most American’s if they went AWOL like these politicians, or called in sick like the teachers and city workers, got phony doctors notes, and then picketed would be without any employment or benefits.
All of these people should join the ranks of the hardcore unemployables.
Everyone of them are lowly maggots!
Jeff L commented:
Cliff, personally I do not believe public sector employees should have Unions. If you run a company and the Union is demanding too much for the employees you stand strong or you go out of business and all the employees lose their jobs. It is a check and balance.
In the public sector there is no check and balance. The taxpayer is their employer and provides their income and benefits, yet the politicians decide what to give them for salary and benefits. The politicians do not have to worry like the business owner, whether the salary and benefits are too high. Instead the workers pay Union dues, then the Unions bribe the politicians with campaign funds and campaign workers, and the politicians rubber stamp their demands.
