Do We Need A Deck Of Cards For Texas Democrats?

Long time reader and FOF Rick from So Cal brings to our attention the pathetic tale of Democratic legislators in Texas fleeing the state in a desperate attempt to stall votes on legislation that they were against.

Rick sees deeper implications in the actions of the dashing Dems:

I see this as a man-on-the-street reference of exactly when and how the Clinton infected Democratic party collapsed? Do you think that, with the exception of the 4 Dem legislatures who stayed in session, ALL of the rest of the Democrats in Texas are going to be called YELLER for slinking across the border? To Oklahoma no less? We have Karl Rove, those wily Dems have Terry McAulliffe. If this is what they come up with as strategy, we'll never beat these guys...

We grew up in a society where the liberal party controlled near super-majorities on a consistent basis. Are we, or rather, have we experienced generationism? A flip-flop in politics and social mores nearly consistent as a generational marker? I can't believe the way the Dems appear to be just laying down and taking it, or more appropriately, giving us the prize. (Reminds me of the Wild, 2 short handed goals last night?)
