The Democrats have made another grave mistake in saying they will accept Roland Burris to be our U.S. Senator from Illinois. The majority of the people of Illinois do not want Burris to be seated. Anyone who is appointed by Gov. Blagojevich was not to be accepted. True to their courrupt, greedy ways, Senator Richard Durbin and Senator Harry Reid changed their minds. The people of Illinois have NOT changed their minds. We don''t want Burris in office. (another news flash, Burris employed Rod Blagojevich wife for $75,000 per year. Add this to his lobbying for the casino industry, lobbying for an investment firm, and being so morally inept to accept Rods appointment, what you get is another greedy, corrupt politican. I hope they all end up in prison with George Ryan.
To all Illinois voters, don''t vote for Richard Durbin. He doesn''t care about the voters, he like all the rest just wants to line his pockets.
