Fleebaggers: The new cut-and-run Democrats

The White House and Beltway Democrats have paved the way for subverting deliberative democracy, of course. If only Republicans in Wisconsin and Indiana had followed the Obama/Pelosi/Reid model and rammed their behind-closed-doors-crafted legislative agenda through in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend, the Fleebaggers wouldn’t be on the lam today. But GOP legislators just don’t roll that way. It’s Democrats who cut and run — abroad in wartime and at home in crisis…

Note: Many of the loudest Washington and Hollywood critics of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin’s decision to resign from office in 2009 are themselves now AWOL on the Wisconsin and Indiana AWOL-ians. Who’s all for mocking “quitters” now? Anyone?

Anarchy is undemocratic, and I know that my Dad is spinning in his grave right now. . . . I do not support refusing to participate, because that will not solve any of the issues facing our state.”
