Senator Burris

[Jmarjhah]

Although I think this guy probably has legal right to the seat, the fact that the man would accept an appointment from a man like Blago speaks loads about his integrity and character. I would never accept an appointment from such a corrupt and evil man. Burris is obviously incredibly power-hungry, and his ambition is blinding him.

I also was amazed at some people now calling Harry Reid a racist because he won't seat Burris. For once in my life, I actually approve of what Harry Reid is doing. Someone like Burris doesn't deserve to sit in Congress.

Just accepting the nomination from him speaks words. But if he has done no wrong doing then he should sit. I don't approve of anything Harry Reid does anyway. But that is Ill. Politics, hell people even elected one for President. Anyone who comes out of Ill. Politics should raise questions.

If I were Burris, I wouldn't accept that appointment. Integrity above all else Burris.

Well atleast we know who was the highest bidder. LOL

It seems Burris will be seated, because the Dems are now being attacked by black leaders using the racial argument. We all know how sensitive are Dems (and politicians in general) when it comes to this issue. Nobody dares to say a thing or he'll be called a racist.

Actually, it looks like he's going to be seated because Blago's appointment was completely legal. Maybe not moral, but he's still the governor.

That's not the impression I've got.

The choice was legal all along. It was legal two weeks ago, and it was legal one week ago. It didn't "suddenly" become legal. Did Reid NOT know it was legal when he objected then? I find it hard to believe he is so stupid.

The only reason why he changed his mind was politics.

Actually, didn't he just recently get new documents?
