Chicago Tribune ^ | February 21, 2011 | Dawn Rhodes

Some senators left Wisconsin with little more than the clothes on their backs. Others came to Illinois equipped with an Urban Essentials pack: clothes, toiletries, cell phones, smart phones

What? They don't have stores in Illinois?

Who's running that third-world backwater?

Cowards don’t need much. Just a pair of fast running shoes and a safe place to hide.

The great liberal heroes continue their glorious battle against the evil, hatefilled taxpayers of Wisconsin.....

And nobody believes that part about "toiletries" ~ these guys don't need that stuff ~ not as long as there's some running water to splash up underneath and on top.

They'll be good for a month or two ~ Democrats don't ripen that fast in Winter!

I heard on the news that some moron in Egypt is ordering pizzas for the freeloading union thugs in Madison. Maybe the jerk should order some pizzas for these freeloading, ‘RAT “senators”.

If we just knew where they were, some nice WI FReepers would be glad to personally deliver some care packages. Heck, we’d even give them a free ride back to Madison!

To Wisconsin socialist liberals, a “patriot” to them is one who runs away, breaks the law by not showing up when the senate’s in session, crosses state lines so as to have your own state’s law enforcement not be able to bring you back to do your job, and sit around all day in a motel not being on the floor offering amendments and making your case even though you will not win the bill.

It’s what Republicans have had to put up with anytime democrats are in power and we can’t stop their bills. They are little crybaby socialist pussies who threw a temper tantrum because they can’t legally win a battle and so they run away and hold the entire state hostage.

There is no way they will ever come across to most Wisconsinites as heroes. We’ll get a bunch of non-fiscal bills passed in the meantime. They don’t care anyway, they’d just be voting against them if they were here. Instead of passing 19-14 they will pass 19-0. Voter ID reform, here we come. Concealed carry, here we come.

Once they crossed the Cheddar Curtain, they should have been on their own. State credit cards canceled, state-paid mobile phones turned off, and access to their state-provided email and internet accounts blocked.

So if pizzas are being ordered for the flee-baggers then can’t someone just follow the pizza delivery car and locate the runaways.

I thought this story was REALLY weird. They said morons for 5 different countries have been ordering pizzas but most are coming from some pinhead in Egypt. Like a greedy union thug can’t afford his/her/its own pizza.

There will soon be at least one bleeding heart that goes back to WI... and then his/her political career will be over. His/her bleeding heart friends will kick him/her to the curb for being a type of "scab" to the dem party.

Get your popcorns ready ... this is going to be fun, fun, fun.

LOL!

What a lame excuse for an article! Like we’re supposed to believe that these “fugitives” can’t have their wives or flunkies simply FedEx them anything they need that that they’re not willing to buy locally.

And what’s the deal with roughing it in “survial mode” in Chicago, anyway? No stores? No restaurants? No five star hotels? I guess not. I really had no idea that living in Chicago or the rest of Illinois amounts to being in “survival mode”. Guess they’ll really be glad to get back to civilization when they leave Illinois and return to Wisconsin, hey?

I hereby coin the term ‘ratfugees’. Pass it on to someone who knows how to use Twitter.
