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.

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**.; Reply to this comment

by cattiej January 12, 2009 9:14 PM EST: 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.; Reply to this comment
