Who is paying for their lodging? 



Taxpayer's... unfortunately.

FORTUNATELY, I am not a Wisconsin resident anymore... or ever after all of this.

I don't see how they can bill the tax payers for this. They aren't on official business, in fact it's avoiding doing their job.

But I'm almost positive they will find a way to stiff the taxpayer's with this.

They might try, but this is too well publicized for them to try and claim they were doing state business.  Ethics charges would most likely be filed against any that tried.  I know, these are DemonRats, ethics aren't relevant to them.

Someone is paying the bill.   God help them if it's the taxpayers of Wisconsin.  I agree that this would be a major ethics violation as they were avoiding doing their jobs.

I think Big Government is following them from place to place.  However without proof they actually stayed at a certain place it would be hard to charge them.

The old "if a tree falls in the forest...." thing.

If the democrats stay away, will anyone really miss them?

Oh, and there will be a Tea Party protest tomorrow from 12 noon-3pm if any Wisconsinites are interested. I'm going to make my best effort to go!

Hi,

Got a note from our beloved Tea Party leader in Illinois.  They have a bus headed to Madison in the AM.  If someone gets hurt, do they blame Obama for inflaming and encouraging this........of do they find a way to blame Palin and Rush?

Yes. To be bi-partisan about it, yes on both counts.

+1. The good and decent people of WI should keep their eye on those expense accounts, and publicize them when they find it.

At some point this has to go beyond making a statement to an impeachable dereliction.

Hi,

Amen, I understand some districts are indeed beginning to do just that, impeaching the derelict senators.
