fleebagger

Popularized by Michelle Malkin, it refers to a politician that flees their home state to avoid a quorum, and thus stifle legislation from being passed. In the original context, the term referred to Democrats who fled the state of Wisconsin to avoid the passing of a bill that would rescind collective bargaining rights for Wisconsin public sector unions.

"Scores of Fleebagger Democrats are now in hiding in neighboring Illinois, the nation’s sanctuary for political crooks and corruptocrats." -Michelle Malkin, "Fleebaggers" (NRO; 23 Feb 2011)

Fleebagger

A tax-hiking, union-protecting, spending-addicted Democrat so inept and incapable of fixing their own state budget mess they've crossed state borders into big government sanctuary zones -- screaming "la, la, la, we can't hear you" all the way.

Faced with stifling debt, bloated pensions and intractable government unions, liberal Midwestern legislators have fled those states -- paralyzing Republican fiscal reform efforts. Like Monty Python's Brave Sir Robin and his band of quivering knights, these elected officials have only one plan when confronted with political hardship or economic peril: Run away, run away, run away.

When you get teabagged in the elections and then flee to a nearby state like a spineless turd.

Look at the fleebagger run to Illinois and not do their job because they won't like the outcome.

Fleebagger

A Fleebagger is a Democrat that has lost elections and when it is time to fight they run away more than likely to another State.

In Wisconsin the Democrats ran away from their elected duties and are hereby known as Fleebaggers

Groups of “elections have consequences” Democrats who think voter will grow fond of them avoiding their jobs, during 9% national unemployment.

Even if those fleebaggers never come back home, we still get to vote them out of office.
So you’re just going to take your marbles and go home like a fleebagger.

A teabagger who hasn't bathed in awhile.

Dave must hate showers as much as he hates Obama and the Democrats, because he's starting to smell real bad, like a fleebagger.
