Refuge in a Land of the Fiscally Insane

Chicago Tribune writer John Kass: "Flee Partyers seem right at home behind Illinois' Jell-O Curtain: Wisconsin, Indiana Democratic legislators find a safe haven from tough choices":

"They're visiting Illinois," [Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn] told Fox Chicago News. "And we're happy they're here. I talked to one of their leaders, I think on Sunday, and they're always welcome."

Not hiding out? Talked to their "leaders"? Dude. They aren't space alien invaders, Governor. They're Democratic politicians running from their jobs to prevent votes on important issues.

Actually, they're fleeing responsibility in a time of massive budget deficits in their own states, which is why they're called the Flee Party. And they've come here, where it's ideologically safe.
If they had stayed at work, they would have had to choose between supporting their public employee union allies who fund and work for their political campaigns, or supporting the exhausted taxpayers who are tired of paying for those contracts and fat pensions.
