Illinois Governor Calls on Burris to Resign

See ya! LOSER!

No way but the highway for Burris!

I am a Dem and Obama voter and agree that Burris needs to step down. He can take Pelosi with him also. Im not going to defend politicians within my party just because they are Dem also. That is what is wrong with the Country. Most put party first. Burris has zero trust now and needs to go away.

This is ridiculous. Burris needs to resign. He should have never accepted the appointment from Blago. And he flat out lied under oath. Toss this jerk quick.

Why don’t we just ask all of these America-Hating Republicans to move somewhere more in tune with their thinking…like Saudi Arabia.

Burris needs to go. He just needs to go.

Duhhh…wasn’t Pat Quinn part of Blago’s government? Was he not the Lt. Gov.? Maybe he should also resign too and take Burris with him too.

Burris needs to resign now! But, about the RACE CARD. When racism is obvious as seen in the double standards and weak logic from BHO’s critics, we shouldn’t ignore it. Nixon brought us the ideology of “benign neglect” concerning race in America. Many people loved it but the effects are still with us today. Obama’s speech on race in Philadelphia is well worth re-reading (see AmericanRhetoric.Com)

It’s people like jason that scare me! Hey moron, who was it SUGGESTING that banks make these risky loans to losers too stupid to think for themselves in the interest of being FAIR? The Iraq war was not about oil you idiot. We freed a nation under seige from a dictator that killed whomever he wanted and allowed his sons to kill, torture, and rape whomever they wanted to just for fun. Do us all a favor, including your own party, shut up!!

Jason oil by the barrel has come down and yet the price of gas is creeping up a few cents every other few days and drops a little then creeps back up. Oil up we paid more. oil down we paid less. oil is down and we are paying more. where is the news reporting on this? Want to shut everyone up about war for oil??? Then lets drill and pump our own which exceeds most all nations. We have more oil here than Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

Jim Rod, you are a very shallow and what sounds like a unrealistic opiniated blogger. Are you saying since Obama was sworn in America has become the equivalent of Saudi Arabia? If this is your ideology, please explain to me and the rest of us bloggers the comparisons. Oh, maybe it’s not the country that you are equating to a muslim nation. Ok, I get it, it’s OBAMA you are equating to a muslim nation. Like I said, this sounds like a very shallow respondant. Let me be careful not to pull the RACE card here! SMDH!!!

allen ridge:”Just look at what this Do Nothing Democrat Congress has done with our economy since taking over responsibility for it over two years ago.
…
Time to bring FACTS and TRUTH back to America.”
Facts and Truth? How about the FACT that when Democrats took over the Senate, the number of successful filibusters increased by 150% and the total number of filibusters increased by over 90%. This FACT is a historic, never before seen levels of obstructionism.
The “do nothing Congress” was unable to overcome Republican obstructionism (over 110 filibusters in the 110th session alone!), and the few times they did Bush vetoed it.
And today no one even expects an up or down vote – it was assumed from day one the stimulus bill needed 60 votes to pass because the Republicans filibuster just about everything…

nxhdud

Well said Jim Rod. I think jason changed his name but the same moronic thought pattern. I would like to know where Burris stood on the porkulous package that the Dems pushed through to get 40 years worth of crap programs funded. Good bye Burris don’t let the door hit you.

Burris will end up resigning. The Democratic Senate is ashamed of him and so are the Democratic Senators and Governor in his own state. Just because someone is of the same party, it doesn’t mean they always think exactly the same. If Quinn was Lt. Gov. it doesn’t mean he and Blago thought alike. Democrats are individuals, unlike the Rethugs who wouldn’t dare get out of lockstep with their party membership for fear of being dismembered (probably in more ways than one!!).

Jason is correct. We did not go into Iraq because it was the biggest threat facing out nation: we went there because Bush had already decided long before he was even elected that he was going to go topple the guy who tried to kill his daddy because “daddy” reneged on an illegal deal over stolen Kuwaiti oil. Georgie turned away from the REAL threat facing America and the world, and let Osama bin Laden slip away into the night to further spread his deadly gospel of hate – fueled by Bush’s own excesses in Iraq.
Bush also “declared” a recession in the middle of a historic budget surplus before he even took office! The current fiscal crisis was caused as much by Bush’s deficit spending to the tune of nearly $5 TRILLION as by any other cause: the biggest bailout / stimulus estimates to date are still no match for the bills Bush ran up on the National Visa Card while in office! What Bush set out to do from the start, he certainly accomplished in the end: “Mission Accomplished!”
Unfortunately, these Republican apologists will never willingly receive the truth of these matters, for like aging rock-stars, they have deafened their ears on the cacophony of lies, rationalizations and outright hate speech spewing from the electronically-amplified mouths of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill Kristol and other subscribers to the doctrine of American supremacy through deceitful oligarchy and postured bullying. They are all followers of shameless false messiahs.

The stimulus package passed by this corrupt individual man’s 1 vote. The Democrats refused to let the people of Illinois vote but had they allowed it, the trillions of dollars of debt would not be happening. INCREDIBLE

The Republicans has screwed up the world economy. There has been no vote to impeach Bush, Cheney or Rumfield.
Whatever lie Roland Burris is alleged to have told is pale in comparison to the Republican deeds which are treason in my book and punishable by the ultimate.
Why do we allow Republicans to play the blame game and getaway with every conceivable crime there is.
Allen whatever his name. Is an oreo and a pawn for the Republican Party and should be called out for it.

Jordon, you seem slightly more informed than your “other brother Daryl”(Jason). I believe if put down the dictionary and check your history facts, you would see that it was your previous “perfect” commander Slick Willy that let Osama bin Laden slip away. Which probably would have avoided the WTC disaster. But he was slightly distracted I guess. At least GWB made an attempt to get him. Where by the way do you get these facts you are spewing, or do you just make them up as you go along? You want to talk about affect on the ecomomy? Have you seen the direction of the Dow Jones, since it was thought likely that Obama would become president? Down Down Down. Even more so since the announcement of his brilliant porkulous package. Oh yeah, and how about the Mortgage bailout? Great idea for those of us responsible borrowers to pay for the mistakes of the greedy less intelligent ones. Let them loose there homes. That is how the system is supposed to work. What happened to being responsible for your own actions? I’m sure our grandchildren and great grandchildren will look back on this administration and say thank you for the debt they were left to pay as they struggle themselves to succeed. I believe they will remember this presidency as “historic” for many different reasons than it should be.

mjr – your can’t be serious. It was the banks themselves offering money to people who couldn’t afford the mortgages, then after getting their share of money, they just turned around and sold the bad mortages. It wasn’t “pressure” from the Dems. that made the banks do this. Since when would the banks take any orders from the Dems, especially since Dems weren’t in charge during the Bush Administration. Banks are all run by Republican fatcats anyway. Furthermore, I haven’t heard any bank use this as an excuse as to why this country is in the mess we are in. It’s you Bushites who want to believe that. And you actually think Bush sent us into Iraq to “free” that country from the tyrant, Saddam? You think he and Cheney cared about the Iraqi people? Come on!! Of course this War was about the oil – the third largest reserve in the Middle East. Cheney’s oil buddies like Halliburton egged them on to go to War. We all know it. Dozens of books have been written about this War. Read a few and get educated about the truth!!

mjr
how do you feel now that you’ve had your brain removed.

Let him stay. He voted for Obama’s “porkulus bill” and now they want to throw him under the bus.

You have to ask yourselves, did Burris cause this mess? Who gave him the job? Who nominated him? Are any of these people in their jobs to better America? Are they in their jobs to gain personal power? Fire those who you don’t want running the country come election!
Burris is smart like a fox, he mostlikely got training from Blaog.

Sean, what do you think the definition of dishonesty is? Lying or a “disposition to lie”!! Typical Dem response. What the “Definition of Is Is.” Let’s just throw more money at the economic problem. “It’s the Republicans fault”. Did Republicans force banks to loan to much money to people that could not afford it? NO. Did Reps force irresponsible people to run up their debt? No. Did Reps force corporations to WAY overpay their executives and give them lavish bonuses that the company could not afford? No. Did Reps sell secrets to China? No. Did Reps raise taxes on US companies so that it would be more cost effective to move jobs oversees? No. Is it the Reps that want to give amnesty to all the “undocumented citizens” (illegals) that snuck into OUR country and are here taking jobs from actual tax paying AMERICAN citizens albiet for substandard wages, because companies take advantage of their illegal status and fear? NO!!!!!!!!
Stop the insanity!!

Matt, the answers to your questions are “Yes”.

It doesn’t matter because whoever is in that office will become a yes man to Obama. The dems have not had a single individual thought since JFK. They all belong to the collective. Adios comrades.

Sean, you are a mind numb robot. Put your tin foil hat back on and have a great weekend in your fantasy world.
boulderhippy2, kudos, well put!

Chicago style politics have arrived in Washington, complete with criminal investigations. Burris should resign and a special election should be held. Burris should be in the need of a fitting, United States Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald Kennedy could not have planned anything better, without having footage of the president himself involved in raising funds for the embattled former governor.The tires of the Obama bus is wide enough to hurt all who come in contact with him.

THE SELECTION PROCESS FOR THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION APPOINTEES IS BASED UPON THE MOTTO, “KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE, AND YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER.” THE TRUTH IS, “SOME OF THE SO-CALLED APPOINTEE (ENEMIES) ARE REALLY,‘FRIENDS’ IN DISGUISE.” AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF THIS IS HILLARY CLINTON. FOR THE CLINTON APPOINTMENT, THE QUESTION WAS, “WHY DID HE DO IT?” WHY DID PRES. OBAMA CHOSE HIS ‘BIGGEST’ ADVERSARY FOR HIS CABINET?” HILLARY IS NOT HIS BIGGEST ADVERSARY; SHE IS HIS FRIEND. REMEMBER, SHE SAID, “IF I WIN, YOU WIN THE VICE PRESIDENT.” OBAMA SAID, “HE WANTS TO SURROUND HIMSELF WITH HIS ADVERSARIES AND NON-ADVERSARIES LIKE ABE LINCOLN.” WASN’T ‘ABE’ ASSASSINATED BY HIS ADVERSARIES? IF YOU HAVE THE NICKNAME OF ‘NO DRAMA OBAMA’ YOU DON’T WANT TO SURROUND YOURSELF WITH TOO MANY ADVERSARIES. IF I WERE OBAMA, I WOULD SPEND MY FIRST 4 YEARS BUILDING BY OWN LEGACY; NOT FOLLOWING THE LEGACY OF ANOTHER PRESIDENT. THE RECENT SERIES OF FAILED NOMINEES FOR OBAMA ADMINISTRATION AND CHICAGO GOVERNMENT PROVES THAT HIRING REFERRALS IS NOT ALWAYS SUCCESSFUL.” IN THE WORLD OF HUMAN RESOURCES, THE PRACTICE OF HIRING ONLY REFERRALS IS CALLED, “IT IS BETTER TO HIRE THE DEVIL YOU KNOW, THAN, THE DEVIL YOU DON’T KNOW.” MAYBE, IT IS TIME TO LOOK OUTSIDE OF THE ‘CLIQUES’ OF FAMILY, FRIENDS OF FAMILY, FRIENDS OF FRIENDS, THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION, EX-BASKETBALL PLAYERS, ETC, AND, HIRE FROM A DIFFERENT ‘POOL’ OF ‘DEVILS’.

Jesus Warrior – Corrupt Chicago politics “reached Washington” on January 20th when Obama swore in. But to get back to the issue, I’ll bet the democrats lose Burris’ seat in the special election that will follow Burris’ ousting. From what I’ve read heard from Chicagoans and people from Illinois in general lately. They are getting sick and tired of democratic politics and politicians. Me sees “the political winds in Chicago going in an ugly direction”. I suppose that means, as Obama has stated in his book, that he will now go and stand with his muslim brothers. What a friggin’ joke the messiah has turned out to be. As if we didn’t see this coming.

Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan expressed concerns about the costs associated with filling Senate seats by special election rather than by gubernatorial appointment.
“How do you pay for it?” asked Madigan spokesman Steve Brown. “It has worked for 180 years, why change now? Nobody’s shown how to pay for it.”
***************************************
What kind of clown is this guy Madigan??? More worried about how to pay for special election rather than trying to get a crook out of office!!!!
Typical Chicago Cesspool Politics!!

I think Pat Quinn should resign. Burris has done nothing wrong; his crime was being appointed by Blago and they can’t prove Blago did anything wrong. No one has heard any tapes. If he is so guilty why is he not in jail? I love this your guilty because we accuse you business they are running. It kinda reminds me of umm well a banana republic and kangaroo courts. How about we return to the rule of law and fair hearings.

And you Libs thought Halliburton was a scam. by the way, they just got $343,000,000 from the government. The Democrats party, this Democrats party, makes the republicans look like penny candy thieves

Burris should resign.He is a liar and for lying Nixon had to resign and Clinton was almost impeached but then GW Bush lied about Iraq and was left in office to screw this country beyond believe.By the way to you all the reason we attacked Iraq was not to save anybody but because GW Bush could not accept the humiliation that the face of his father was painted in the floor at the entrances of Sadam Hussein palaces and everybody had to spit on it.The last two wars was started by Texans:Vietnam by LBJ and Iraq by GW Bush.To republicans and texans, american young peoples lives are inmaterial to their pride.Also,remember Burris is black and so nothing is going to happen to him.Now where are the black “leaders” about this situation.Hey Sharpner,J. Jackson,etc… speak up BROS.

For this guy, Burris, to endure what he has in order to get that Senate seat and keep it, you can just imagine how valuable it is. These people will do anything to reap the perks and power of these so-called “jobs”.
