Video: Tea Party Activist Confronts Wisconsin Democrats as they Flee Illinois Resort
by PubliusHopefully, Big Government readers can help us identify these Democrat senators from Wisconsin. In the video, they claim they are heading back to the state to fulfill their constitutional obligation. They’re Democrats though, so we’re skeptical they worry about things like that. We’ll see.

I wonder if these legislators are paying for all this luxury with their government-issued credit cards and/or their per diem pay…i.e., with taxpayer money.
And if that's the case, they are using taxpayer money OUT OF STATE.
Great work from a real patriot…a citizen who takes action to hold his government accountable. Run these rats down…don't let'm rest. We have work to do, Sons of Liberty.
"I am not sure what my job is today" – Priceless!
LOL It's his job to run away to a resort to delay the vote. Haha Haha
No fool like a Damnocrat fool !!
All that is missing are their 'flowing robes.'
"Senator! Senator! Wait you forgot your toga." (hotel worker)
HAHA.. The Citizen Journalist Rules! Do you think these genius know that they just created a political lightning rod? His name is Scott Walker.
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker going ON THE RECORD at 10pm tonight!!
That'll make an effective campaign commercial for some aspiring Republican in Wisconsin.
Vermin scatter in the lights of scrutiny! How long till the weasels are back in Madison at the Statehouse. I wonder how the conf call to Team Obama went??? Does the DNC have more buses scheduled to go from Chicago to Madison tomorrow?
You can run but you can't hide….
Get’em Tea Party! It’s time to wake up again our work is not finished.
Follow that car!!
Or any other day!
Great JOB!!!
Go get 'em guys! I love it!
Here's their House listings: http://legis.wisconsin.gov/w3asp/contact/legislat...
I couldn't tell who that skunk was. Maybe someone else can sniff'm out.
HICCUP….SHOULD OF BREATHYLZED EM TOO!!!
For the 1st time in my adult life this south Georgia boy is proud of one of my fellow Americans from Wisconsin.
Go get 'em Tea Party!
Notice how he quickly called him a member of the Tea Party? That's right were out there watching and can find you!
Yes, the sleeping giant that
iswas the American people has awoken, and there is no place for the leftist cockroaches to hide anymore.This is effing great!
Off Topic
While we're all busy watching obama's riots, the House is doing their job:
House Passes Amendment to Block Funds for Net Neutrality Order
http://www.nationaljournal.com/house-passes-amend...
House votes to overthrow 'czars'
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0211/49781.h...
Tree'm, Wisonsin! Don't let them dodge the issue. This is one of the small but crucial battles for Liberty: if we cannot control our public sector, we may as well start from scratch. These people don't create wealth: they live off of the hard work of those who pay taxes on income earned while producing goods that people choose to consume, real value. These public-sector parasites need to be taught a lesson.
Stock Markets closed Higher today on news that all of the Democrat Senators from the great state of Wisconsin had fled the state on the short bus….
http://liberallystupid.blogspot.com/
Good to know we can get past our differences, even 140-year-old ones. (wink)
These were Senators, not Representatives
I don't think they should be allowed back in the state. Send them to Minnesota where they seem to enjoy cry babies. They took Farvre, after all.
Very good news John.
Thanks I didn't see those news items.
The first "senator" recognized the cameraman as a Tea Party guy. What, was he wearing a Tea Party shirt?
Or are we starting to get a "reputation?"
That's right politicos. We're everywhere, and we're coming for you. Bwahahaha
High-5 LOL
I know who he is, he's one of the The Dreaded Knights who say NI!!!!!
HEAD KNIGHT OF NI: Ni!
KNIGHTS OF NI: Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni!
Thank you my tea party brothers!
checked twitter–you wouldn't believe the people up there who think they're fighting for democracy and liberty. They think they're Egypt! They don't get the state doesn't have the money!!!!!
State Senator Bob Jauch, according to @BadgerBlogger http://legis.wisconsin.gov/senate/sen25/news/
Tea Partiers just followed the stench left on the trail by the jackasses. Donkeys can flee but they can not hide.
and i believe the other is Jim Holperin http://legis.wisconsin.gov/senate/sen12/news/
Here are the senate Democrats. http://legis.wisconsin.gov/senate/sdc/
FIrst guy looks like Jim Holperin. Not sure about the second guy.
There's just too much good news for conservatives today! Save some for tomorrow, everybody. My smile can't get any bigger than it already is today.
In all seriousness, I am appalled at this.
They are duly elected officials, intentionally shirking their responsibilities.
They should be ashamed of themselves.
Why can't 1 Republican switch sides for 1 hour to get this passed?
The optics of this, with the millions that have lost their jobs, is going to make the Democrats, and their union supporting ilk look like the trough feeders that they really are. In the wise words of Margaret Thatcher – "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money".
Takes a lot to get a Liberal to Flee a nice Resort.
That is awesome, keep up the great work of holding these douche bags accountable.
Too good….best laugh I've had in a month.
Score.
Awesome!!!
Always have to watch the other hand.
It appears there is a *bit* of condescension in these people
I, for one am proud of this 'alleged' TEAT Party patriot. This guy did more in 1 minute than the thousands of protestors did all day.
Camcorders, cell phones & laptops combine both the 1st & 2nd.
This isn't the first time they have done this. They did it in 2003 in Texas
http://articles.cnn.com/2003-05-13/politics/texas...
They really are pathetic. What is even more disturbing is listening to what these people say when interviewed…they have access to our children and that is scary.
In all seriousness, CL.
These are democrats.
They have no shame.,
The two senators on the video are Robert Jauch, 25th District and Jim Holperin 12th District! Citizens of WI, vote them out!
Yep, "my Tea Party friend" means ANY opposition to these guys now. NICE!!! Don't know if this citizen journo was from Rockford or even IL or not, but I'm proud nonetheless. I'm hoping IL being surrounded (almost) by red will start to change things in this cesspool. We can "nudge", too.
Nah….just hand them the bar tab!
First time commenter long time reader…
thank you for your work Illinois tea party…
..and if you find Sen Chris Larson please keep him
Oh, that WOULD be funny.
But nah, let'm stew a while longer and show the whole country what a bunch of weasels they are.
The funniest part is they are on "strike"–shirking to support parasites.
Why did they stop in Rockford? Why couldn't they have just headed right on to Mexico where all their constituents come from?
>>they have access to our children and that is scary.
that is disturbing
they certainly aren't showing us their best side–not much of an example to the kids….
I love it.
I'm doing my job, I'm hiding and your paying for it!
there was a nut on twitter "inviting" people to "quit" Wisconsin and move to Illinois where unions are appreciated. Apparently this twit didn't know Illinois is even worse off!
They will probably get travel allowance for this
I'm surprised he didn't get the Bob Ethridge "who are you" treatment!
I believe it is a head count that is necessary.
Welcome to where sanity resides friend! (well most times)
"This guy did more in 1 minute than the thousands of protestors did all day."
Oh, I don't know. Those union freaks are doing an awful lot to help the Tea Party cause.
If we could just figure out how to keep them out of state for another Year or Two, we could probably get things fixed!! http://liberallystupid.blogspot.com/
It may be going to a strip club-I'd stay back a ways.
These are just small time puppets…Barry Soetoro is their puppeteer:

"I'm hoping IL being surrounded (almost) by red will start to change things in this cesspool"
We're all ready to stand with ya.
TEA – Natures Anti-Oxidant!
I hope there is punishment for being AWOL!
When they change their tune, it will be
"Ekky-ekky-ekky-ekky-z'Bang,
zoom-Boing, z'nourrrwringmm"
Why did your post above get deleted? I don't think you said anything that warrants deletion !
I see mine got deleted, but i can understand that because I said that the Damnocrats were cowardly and chicken $hit.
I think our winners are Tim Carpenter and Dave Hansen.
Tim Carpenter, District 3
Dave Hansen, District 30
"intentionally shirking their responsibilities"
You were kiddin me right? You weren't surprised by these cowardly actions, I know you better than that.
But yes, it was shameful-no doubt.
OK. So who the hell is this "administrator" that deleted my comment above after it was up for an hour? The message read:
"LOL
PRICELESS."
Yes, 'quorum' thingy is why.
quorum |ˈkwôrəm|
noun ( pl. quorums )
the minimum number of members of an assembly or society that must be present at any of its meetings to make the proceedings of that meeting valid.
NOOOOO… you said "it" !!!! AAAHHH … now I've said it ……
I think the Bigs need new administrators !
I'm glad you clarified that! lol
I noticed. And what did I say?
"LOL
PRICELESS."
And THAT got me deleted?
PRICELESS.
If you do that we will end up paying it!
It's just a flesh wound!
Carpenter is a flaming east side Milwaukee lib…kind of hope he doesn't come back
I hope that Gov. Walker has the National Guard hunt down and drag these recalcitrant swine back to the Senate floor by the scruff of their necks!
You're right.
Very wise Sammy, the democrats wouldn’t hesitate.
Have the Big sites been infiltrated?
Very much ON TOPIC John. Change. We are the ones we have been waiting for.
Memo to the Wisconsin DNC (to quote Barack Obama)….We WON!
I've been going back and forth with IntenseDebate Support over this whacked out page:
http://biggovernment.com/hudlash/2011/02/12/obama...
A lot of deletes there too, and trolls with ratings in the +1000 range. I'm not sure who's going crazy, the Bigs or ID.
Uh oh. Now we're getting thumbed down.
And Soros is Obama's puppeteer.
Wow, thats probably because that cartoon made the spin cycle big time. The trolls sure came out in numbers, or like you said intense Debate is crooked.
Maybe Andrew should use a different provider.
Unbelievable. We have children pretending to run government.
Would love to see as big a Tea Party group as possible follow these people around chanting "go back and vote, go back and vote" or "do your job, do your job".
I don't know, for all the sites I comment on, I like the IntenseDebate format the best. When it's not going crazy that is.
Besides, I've gotten to know ID Support pretty well by now. : )
Democrat cowards, playing games with the process. I, also, have no problem with giving the same opinion about Republicans when they succumb to the temptation of parliamentary game playing.
The Senator/Traitor in this video is Jim Holperin
12th Senate District
Democrat
Fortunately America is still a democracy. The VOTES in Nov. speak louder than the protests in Feb.!!! http://liberallystupid.blogspot.com/
"Democrats SHUT DOWN GOVERNMENT in Wisconsin"
If the Republicans had any brains, they would be using that meme over and over again in every media outlet that gives them a chance to talk about the situation in Wisconsin. On the national stage and in Wisconsin as well.
I am not a Republican, nor do I like their legislative failure to represent conservative ideas over the last few decades, but they need to start learning how to use memes and soundbytes effectively. Its a great way to influence voters and the Democrats hold a virtual monopoly over it.
Wow! Way weird on that page. I don't think it can be just trolls down-thumbing to get some of the p scores I've seen lately – like Hudnall suddenly going from +90s to -70s overnight. I usually get more than one or two "ups" when I post and my p score stays the same for weeks, and then moves by a point or two. I say it's ID.
Question for the voting people of the Wisconsin 12th Senatorial District,……..
Did you folks move from Chicago because,…….
