FLEEBAGGER REBELLION!… Dem Senators Met Secretly With GOP Behind Minority Leader’s Back (Video)

The Fleebaggers Are Cracking–

Wisconsin Senate Minority Leader Jon Erpenbach admitted to Greta Van Susteren tonight that his fellow caucus members met secretly with the Wisconsin Senate Majority Leader today behind his back.

He did not even know about the meeting until the media contacted him!

Greta Van Sustern: Did you know about the secret meeting?

Minority Leader Erpenbach: No, I was not told about the secret meeting until I was called by a reporter so obviously somebody did not want the meeting to be secret. I think a couple of senators, from what I understand, met with Scott. I don’t know what was discussed but I gotta believe we’re a little more firm in our stance now that we hear from Senator Fitzgerald that he wants us to come back and debate something that’s not negotiable.

They won't admit that they're cracking and falling apart.

But, they are.

Is there not a weak link on the Republican side? Is this the guy negotiating in ‘secret’?

I think they initially ran and hid without considering the ramifications. They had no end game plan, and now are sort of between a rock and a flat place. (that's a little Southeastern WI humor....)

Almost makes you feel a little sorry for the little buggers-----NOT!!!

“They won’t admit that they’re cracking and falling apart. But, they are.”

Not all of these Dems are rich, and they have bills to pay, like everybody else. Recalls are now in motion against them, and in 13 days the seats can be declared abandoned, and they lose those cushy jobs.

Union pressure or no, some are beginning to realize this could be the end of some very promising careers, and I can’t imagine the voters back home are very happy.

All we need is ONE...just ONE of these Rats’ to turn, and it will be over. 19.8 is the magic number.

What end did the Rats expect to see? Walker fold and go home? What dopes. You know they drew straws to see who would be the 14 idiots to go on the lam and make the vote impossible. I'm sure the ones that pulled short straw were pissed. After near riots and pressure, the Gov. is standing strong. I bet they thought a day or two on the road would end this in their favor.

Now the humiliating return must begin.Nice.

Sounds good to me - just wait them out and declare them abandoned. It's gone on this long - what's another 13 days?

Hope this is turning the tide for Governor Walker and Wisconsin. I would imagine most folks there would like to get back to a normal life...including some of the Dems that aren’t rabid lefties.

Praying for he governor and the state!

Dean’s Green… Howard Dean’s Grassroots Group Is Funding Wisconsin Fleebaggers
http://gatewaypundit.rightnetwork.com/2011/03/deans-green-howard-deans-grassroots-group-is-funding-wisconsin-fleebaggers/

Jim Hoft also says that this “gift” is illegal according to Wisconsin campaign finance law:

The Dean Dollars are being specifically funneled to the Wisconsin State Senate Democratic Committee (SSDC) — an apparent violation of Wisconsin election law that pointedly says, according to the Wisconsin Election Board’s Legal Counsel in a 2005 decision, that the “SSDC may not accept a contribution of more than $6,000 from a single committee in a calendar year.”

Erpenbach was in Chicago. I guess the scummiest Dems hid out in Chicago while the other Dem suckers were in budget hotels. I bet their families are asking when are you coming home and money may be getting tight.

The N IL Tea Party folks have been chasing em all over the state. LOL!

They should be frog marched in the snow back to Wisconsin.

I bet a few probably have spouses ready to divorce them.

And why, pray tell, are the Republicans not passing everything they can move with a simple majority quorum? Think how fast it would go! Do you really think the Fleebaggers would stay out of town with the Pubbies whipping through their shopping list? Hell, they could institute right to work across the board if they wanted to!

What are they waiting for? Do they really believe the backlash would be any worse?

No, not just an ethics violation — a CRIME. And I heard tonight that Chuckie Schumer, Howard Dean and a number of other national Democrats and Washington, DC Dems have been footing the bill for the WI Dem Senators while they stayed out of state. Problem? To receive those funds is ILLEGAL.

Of course, for the National politicians to GIVE those funds in illegal too — but I don’t think Schumer or Dean or any other Dems are the least bit worried about the Atty. Gen. of the US pressing ANY kind of charges against them. But the State of Wisconsin just MIGHT charge the whole bunch — Dem State Senators, nat’l Dem crooks, Union thugs, and ALL.

Gov. Walker and the Republican Senators are inching closer to a win — if they remain strong, the Dems WILL fold, or fly apart. And if they lose in Wisconsin, they can lose almost anywhere. Of course, then they (unions, Leftists) WILL become literally violent. But that’s a problem for another day...

Since there are only 14 rats in the WI senate and they all split, they all drew the ‘short straw’. Now what do they do? They were sure that the motley protesters in Madison would force the Gov to back down, so they went all in. Their problem is that Walker has a straight flush and they've got nada.
