‘You Gotta Vote’: Megyn Kelly Confronts Wisconsin Dem ‘Cowering’ in Illinois

After one Wisconsin state senator canceled his appearance on FNC’s America Live Thursday afternoon because he was running from the law media, host Megyn Kelly confronted Sen. Jon Erpenbach, a Democrat currently hiding out in Chicago.

Megyn asked Erpenbach to justify his absence as the state legislature waits to vote on Gov. Scott Walker’s budget proposal.  “You have to go do your job. It is not your job to leave the state and cower in Illinois,” she said.  “How is hiding out in Chicago discharging the duties of your office?”

While he dismissed the notion that he was “cowering,” Erpenbach insisted he and his fellow Democrats were doing their jobs, answering emails and phone calls from outside the state.

“What we do in this country is we vote. You can vote no and you can rail on the senate floor why this is wrong,” Megyn insisted.  “You gotta vote, sir.”

Baby, Baby, Baby. Waaaaaaaaa! “I can’t get my way!!!” This is not a man let alone a state senator. Play by the rules you coward.

    These Democrats are steeling and voiding the votes of the majority. Elections have consequences and as President Obama said…….I won! Well so did the majority in Wisconsin and Ohio and now the Dems have run out of town because they don’t like a certain bill. Its not how democracy works and they are making America look like a two bit banana republic. We will certainly remember you all for trashing the legacy of our fallen heroes who gave their lives defending our democracy. You are all a disgrace and should be recalled.

      They answered Kellt correctly: Walker must FIRST discharge his duties to negotiate, not act like a dictator and say all-or-nothing. Until then, the democrats have every right to wait for him to come to his senses.

      Doesnt Walker understand the anger and that the good people of Wis are anti his plans? Or is it that he CANT wait to head to the Koch Bros ranch in California as he said on the taped call….?

      When it comes time to shut down the government, Kelly and her “its your duty to vote” “and discharge your duties” will be nowhere to be seen. How is she going to handle that? Simple: by throwing softball questions as she usually does to the far right wing Tea Party and letting them spin it without her confronting them.

      Kelly is just another far right wing Tea Party windbag, botox’d face and fake blonde hair and all.

      There has to be a simple solution we are missing to prevent fleeing from disabling Government. Can the Majority not amend the statute requiring one more minority to hold vote to less? I sure hope Oklahoma sees all the fleeing cowards and enacts a provision for these instances. 

      Yes the chicken Dems from Texas fled to the City or around it. I believe if my memory serves me right the Oklahoma Highway Patrol found them or something to that effec, but nothing done to extradite them back. 

      Seriously Darmok, why isn’t Wisconsinites tracking theses cowards down and hauling them back to do their job? With technology as such and “Representatives” being paid by us, I think we have full right to track them and when MIA find them and hold them accountable. you know they could find them in two seconds……..

      The question is what would they, being Dems, do if Repubs fled? Track them and haul them back or enact the bill regardless of any rules is my thoughts.

It puts Republicans in a position of weakness. Ignore these absentee idiots. Stop giving these spoiled sports the attention they want/crave by constantly reporting and trying to chase them down. They are just like children and must be loving every minute of the media attention. It may sound elementary but, “leave them alone and they’ll come home, wagging their tails behind them.”.

      The Wisconsin and Indiana Dems are TRAITORS : One who betrays another’s trust and is false to an obligation and or DUTY. They should be tried for TREASON :: the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign’s

      It is obvious by the way the “Speech Giver” and the Dems handled “Health-Care they have NO RESPECT for the Constitution or for the PROCEDURE. Lets just STOP enforcing the LAWS of the land.

      I love the way the DEMS keep lying about the Majority of Wisconsin taxpayers want them to do this, When the Majority want them back doing their jobs and get the business done.

      THE DEMS do not give a hoot about the individual union member – the only thing that matters is getting those campaign contributions from the union leaders
      DEMS + UNIONS = CORRUPTION

      THE DEMS have PROVEN beyond a shadow of doubt – where their TRUE LOYALTIES are and its not the PEOPLE – but their campaign funds.

At least the others give half way reasonable responses with reasons for what they state. You two, however, must be very young and haven’t learned much yet. When your done reading the Huff Post or Media Matters why don’t you just copy what smart people there have said, at least we will find your comments more challenging.

      I saw an intersting posting online today, about an option that could be considered in removing these Senators from office. This was by a poster named Heckmepitus on, of all places, HuffPo (responses were not very pleasant!) :

      ““The first option for removing the “Badger 14″ senators is for the Assembly to impeach them by a majority vote and, if impeached, for the Senate to convict them by a two-thirds vote. The provisions for impeachmen­t and removal upon conviction are set out in Art. VII, Section 1, of the Wisconsin Constituti­on which reads:

      Impeachmen­t; trial. The court for the trial of impeachmen­ts shall be composed of the senate. The assembly shall have the power of impeaching all civil officers of this state for corrupt conduct in office, or for crimes and misdemeano­rs; but a majority of all the members elected shall concur in an impeachmen­t. On the trial of an impeachmen­t against the governor, the lieutenant governor shall not act as a member of the court. No judicial officer shall exercise his office, after he shall have been impeached, until his acquittal. Before the trial of an impeachmen­t the members of the court shall take an oath or affirmatio­n truly and impartiall­y to try the impeachmen­t according to evidence; and no person shall be convicted without the concurrenc­e of two-thirds of the members present. Judgment in cases of impeachmen­t shall not extend further than to removal from office, or removal from office and disqualifi­cation to hold any office of honor, profit or trust under the state; but the party impeached shall be liable to indictment­, trial and punishment according to law.”

      I’m not a union worker and I own my own business. I say Go dems!!!! Stay away, you are doing your job the way the people of WI want you to. You have more support than you know. Gov. Wanker will cave in or he will be gone in a year. The Repuglys that voted for this bill have signed their resignation notice. The recalls have already started. I wish I could be there with you Wisconsin. I will be at my capitol this Sat. along with thousands of others to show our support for the unions. Without the unions you morons would be working 24/7 with very bad and dangerous working conditions. There would be no child labor laws. Your children could be working cleaning motel rooms. How many of you want your 12 or 13 year old daughter or son working in a motel? Think about it.

      I guess at the end of the call he had to run, I mean stand up for the unions.

      When did standing up for something change in definition? I thought Whoopi and Behar showed how standing up for something by running off stage was a failure and actually is running away from a situation. Grown ups, that wear the big boy pants, debate and then do their jobs. If the outcome is not to their liking then they might figure 9out a way in the future to change that outcome, legally.

      Are you kidding me? Why don‘t you go crawl back under the rock you’ve apparently been living under the last few years? The Wisconsin Democrats are NOT doing their job, at all. ONLY scum would make the outlandish claim that they are actually doing their job. You have to be complete scum to think running away from your constituents is actually doing good for your constituents. The ONLY thugs here are the ones cowering in fear in Illinois. The governor actually wants to get stuff done for Wisconsin. He CANNOT do so with the idiot Democrats running away from the problem, which they are.

      @ GLENNBECKISSTOOOPID

      You’re calling Glenn Beck “stooopid” when it is all too obvious you are the ridiculously “stooopid” one. First of all, it is a FACT that the Wisconsin voters are NOT behind the Democratic Senators. That is why the Wisconsin voters voted in the current governor, after all, and have been behind the current governor’s plan since the very beginning. Second, the ONLY ones that have signed their resignations here are the idiot Democrat cowards who have run away from their duty. Third, if you actually think that we’d be working 24/7 with very bad and dangerous working conditions and that there’d be no child labor laws if there were no unions, you actually are a moron that there is no hope for whatsoever. A little news flash for you, but better working conditions and child labor laws came BEFORE unions were even created. Unions came AFTER laws were actually on the books, for crying out loud. The ONLY thing unions did was help to create even more such laws. Do you know how hard it is these days for children who actually WANT to work to actually find work because of some of those laws? Get an education, please.

Do these guys understand the longer they stay away the more damage they do?! Blue blood dems not on board with socialists and unions cannot be happy, we can only hope they will sooner or longer speak out for these ppl to get back to the state and do the job they were hired to do.

      All these baboons think they are doing their job by staying away too! Be there in the capitol and filibuster yes. Run away and hide NO! BTW who is footing the bill for these dolts to be on the run?
