Protesters find missing state Senate Democrats in Illinois (Tea Party Bounty Hunters!)

One of the 14 Wisconsin senators who has been hiding out in Illinois with his Democratic colleagues says protesters have discovered the hotel where many of the lawmakers are staying.

State Sen. Chris Larson said Tuesday that the senators were trying to keep their locations a secret because they were concerned for their safety. For example, he said, someone e-mailed him threatening to burn down his house.

Larson was speaking by cell phone Tuesday when protesters pulled up in front of his hotel. He said he and his fellow Democrats would likely move, although he wasn't sure whether that meant going to a different hotel or a different city.

The Democrats left the state Thursday to prevent a vote on a Republican Gov. Scott Walker's sweeping bill that would limit unions' collective bargaining

NO, the comment about ‘ran and hid’ with Osama, Hitler and Hussein refers to Senate Democrats....

Of course, but it will be a pain in the arse..... they have to eventually go home. I hope their staff all gets layed off or fired.

Outstanding! Well done! Keep up the pressure! When they leave, follow them to their next destination. Keep the rats running. No rest for the rats.

When the democrats controlled congress and rammed bills down our throats we didn’t run off - but now that we are in control you run off and hide like scared children, scream and call our elected officials Hitler......

That’s how Democrats roll these days

They’ve been playing the victim card for the last two days, that’s their M.O. One of the female members was raving yesterday about how hard the whole thing was on her children.

Meanwhile, Ann Althouse, a local law professor who videoed a group of public works employees who were demonstrating while on the payroll and posted it on YouTube, really got a death threat.

Pukes! Cowards! Union stooges!

They can be followed, and a whole new crew of protestors can arrive at the new place.
There are ways.
