Democrats and democracy

Power Line makes a point I've been thinking about all day. How much of a democrat are you when you can't stand to lose without tantrums? And what kind of leaders are they if they vacate their posts and hide out of state to avoid a vote they know they'll lose. They're obviously beholden to labor unions if they're willing to take such extreme measures to protect their continued siphoning of taxpayer money for the unions' benefit.
