This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that not only are the Democrats incapable of policing their own rank and file, they are equally goping to be useless at guarding us against abuses of power and influence from the Whitehouse down.

Our government us utterly and completely corrupt. They need to be replaced just as Thomas Jefferson would subscribe. But now they have control of the armed forces and will turn them against the people to hold on to their corrupt power.

America is screwed and there is nothing we can do but sit back and watch the show.

Burris Sshould have never been seated. He is about as arrogant as I have seen. And we all know he bought the seat from the Governor. Our Senate is so messed up. Can''t wait to see whats next. I thought Obama was going to be the breath of fresh air we needed but now not sure anymore.

Hey, on a TOTALLY UNRELATED topic, the new President gets sworn in just a WEEK AND A DAY from now.

Isn''''t that exciting.

The feds should check Blago''s freezer for frozen green paper wrapped in foil!!! I''m SURE the democrat leaders have counseled him not to keep it THAT way.

Now Roland Burris can add this tainted Senate appointment to his gigantic life sized Resume he has craved on expensive brick impersonating a Tombstone! Looking at this shameless self promotion, no way can you come away thinking Burris is even remotely capable of being humble! All the Senate Democrats see is another Senate Vote and to hell with how they go about getting it!

I gotta wonder who is he humbled to? No one from Illinois voted for him. He demanded a seat in the Senate. If he is humbled to Harry Reid what the hay! Old Harry is about as dirty rotten scoundrel as they come. Good Grief! What have we done????

Democrates change you can believe in, yeah right! Looks like a lot of SSDD. The two party system is as broke down as Wall Street. It is all greed and mememememem....neither party cares for the average American. Work your butt off and send us your money. Burris is a joke for taking this seat and it just shows his true colors, I Want Mine....

Let us see how humble he would be when he is further linked to Blago, or when he is kicked out by his **** in a couple of years! He is not morally qualified even if he has residency and other qualifications. Anyone who would accept such a post which is so tainted is the same color as the guy who appointed him. Shame on Burris for his lack of judgment and ethics. The IL voters should definitely approve of this appointment by kicking him out next round.

I totally agree. If you want to about this guys character look up his little memorial to himself.

In the end it doesn%u2019t matter that Burris got a seat. The only way you can tell one crook from another in the Senate is the same way you tell one chicken from another in a hen house and that is by where it perches. The only difference between a senator and a chicken is that after gobbling up all it can get the chicken may produce an egg out it%u2019s a**, while a senator will only produce smoke out of its a**.

Burris''s problem isn''t that his appointment isn''t legal. It''s that it isn''t ethical. This is problem lawyers often have.

Burris has never been "humbled"in his life. Check out his king size monument at the cemetary in south
Chicago.
