Indiana Democrats flee to avoid vote
First, Democrats put their cowardice on display in Wisconsin. Now, the “Fleebaggers” are running away from their legislative duties in Indiana.
Chicken shits.
Indiana House Democrats are leaving the state rather than vote on anti-union legislation, the Indianapolis Star has learned.A source said Democrats are headed to Illinois, though some also might go to Kentucky. They need to go to a state with a Democratic governor to avoid being taken into police custody and returned to Indiana.
The state House was called into session this morning with only two of the 40 Democrats present. Those two were needed to make a motion and a seconding motion for any procedural steps Democrats would want to take to ensure Republicans don’t do anything official without quorum.
With only 58 legislators present, Republicans had no quorum present to do business. The House needs 67 of its members to be present.
Democratic Rep. Terri Austin of Anderson, told state House Speaker Brian Bosma, an Indianapolis Republican, that Democrats “continue to be in caucus” to discuss potential amendments to several bills.
Bosma said he was “flummoxed,” adjourned until noon, and labor union members watching in the gallery and hallway outside cheered the work stoppage.
Tuesday’s flight was triggered by Republicans pushing a bill that would bar unions and companies from negotiating a contract that requires nonunion members to kick-in fees for representation. It’s become the latest in what is becoming a national fight over Republican attempts to eliminate or limit collective bargaining.
House Minority Leader B. Patrick Bauer, D-South Bend, “has taken a page out of the Wisconsin Senate playbook apparently” by keeping his caucus in hiding, Bosma said. “They are shirking the job that they were hired to do.”
In Wisconsin, Senate Democrats have fled to Illinois to deny Republicans the quorum they need to pass legislation limiting collective bargaining for many public employees.
Run away! Run away!
“Brave Sir Robin ran away.
Bravely ran away, away.
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!He is packing it in,
And packing it up,
And sneaking away,
And buggering off,
And chickening out,
And pissing off home,Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge!”

Oh, how awesome it would be to live in a state with no Democrats. It's like they are giving us everything we want in two states.
