Title: now Indiana's Democrats flee
Post by: Glock32 on February 22, 2011, 11:30:01 AM
The Democrats in Indiana have done it now. They've left the state rather than face a union vote in the legislature.

Gutless cowards, hiding like pigs...just like their Wisconsin pigs cousins...both hiding in the People's Union of Illinois!

But Daniels is not being as forceful in his issue as Walker is.

Walker is sporting a big set, Daniels could learn something from Walker!

I guess Daniels is in GOP Presidential candidate mode, which means being a total eunuch.

Republicans in the legislature have offered a bill that addresses union prerogatives.  In comparison to the proposal in Wisconsin, however, this one is rather mild.  It would bar unions and private-sector firms from establishing rules that require non-union employees from being forced to pay representation “fees,” a back door for forced dues payments.  It puts teeth in the open-shop environment, and it’s broader in scope than the Wisconsin bill (which only applied to public-sector unions), but it doesn’t restrict collective bargaining rights at all.

Democrats in Indiana may only be staging a momentary walkout as a way to express solidarity with their colleagues in Wisconsin — or more accurately, their Wisconsin colleagues who have fled the state rather than allow the elected legislature to conduct business.  Even a symbolic walkout carries significant and deeply damaging consequences to representative democracy, however, as I explain in my column at The Week today (specific link later when posted): ...

And the WH is in this up to its neck.

This is what it looks like when you have a President with the resumé of a "community organizer".

Governor gave a deadline, I believe, before he lays off people. Screw the deadline, fire them all.

That's what I say.  It's been long enough.  Now the "protesters" are playing football INSIDE the Capitol Building.

"Fleebaggers"! HAH! I love it!

And the prez is a community agitator, from what I can see.

Daniels "signaled" to Republicans today to drop the union legislation.

Not only not-presidential, eunuch.

I think it’s to Daniels’ credit that the annoying Mark Levin finds him objectionable.
When Levin rises to the Governor’s accomplishment level only then is he qualified to criticize.
