http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/12/30/1728178.aspx Why would anyone accept this nomination? Is Burris as crazy as Blagojevich?
Does make one wonder doesn't it? His name was NOT tied it with Blago to my knowledge so he willingly ties his name to him. Yes, innocent till proven guilty and guilt by association come to mind but it seems Blago is quite guilty and Burris chose to associate himself with him. I found Blago "worrying" so much about the people of Illinois having representation. This from a guy that sells to the highest bidder. Of course he had the people in mind.
Nope. Not crazy. Turns out Burris is probably only just as corrupt as Blagojevich. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-ap-il-burrisethicsinves,0,4821242.story
That is it ! If you get pulled into a right left, black,white,red blue state, or other opposing views you have taken the bait that has caused most of what you see as corruption. Until you understand that these people in congress are for the most part the same. They are looking to get your piece of the pie. They call it "alternate allocation spending". It is time to revisit what we built, why was it so successful, and do we want to give up our freedom and will to a handful of thugs from Chicago. Pep
