boot him and get the new gov to appoint someone before the Dems can't win this in 2010.

He can't be booted, he has to resign. And they are asking him to resign. - the liioulu with green m&ms Feb 17, 16:21
It is pathetic. I've never seen a seemingly decent (if somewhat in over his head) guy get so overcome with blind ambition. -- nm - pmb Feb 17, 16:12
"Burris then goes on to say that during the October conversation he raised a question about the Senate seat with the governor's brother" OOOOPS! -- nm - Redmond Feb 17, 16:09

"Burris said that he asked how much cash he wanted raised and was told $10,000 to $15,000" Niiiice -- nm - Redmond Feb 17, 16:04
It was a slam dunk to not allow him in. Then Harry Reid pussed out. -- nm - Redmond Feb 17, 16:02 16
- So did Obama. - the liioulu with green m&ms Feb 17, 16:23
- from Rolling Stone... - Stewie Feb 17, 16:21
- It was not a slam dunk. In fact, mostly the opposite according to most legal scholars. -- nm - pmb Feb 17, 16:10 11
  - They could have tied it up legally in the courts. They saw the easy vote and took it. - Redmond Feb 17, 16:18 2
    - and left the dems with another empty spot? - b! Feb 17, 16:22 1
      - Damn Straight!!! Ethics trumps votes. I thought this was all a part of the era of Change Obama has been speaking about. Same old lying liars. -- nm - Redmond Feb 17, 16:24
  - yup. -- nm - b! Feb 17, 16:12
  - Don't let silly things like laws sway the conversation, pmb! -- nm - ty97 Feb 17, 16:12
  - Not only did he get seated. They embraced him. OOOPS!! You don't think pictures of them all hugging won't be in election ads? -- nm - Redmond Feb 17, 16:12 5
    - that wouldn't have been done if he hadn't gotten there, in part via extreme lying. -- nm - b! Feb 17, 16:17 4
      - OMG a LIAR Appointed him, and he TOOK IT. That is all the Democrats needed to know. Really? -- nm - Redmond Feb 17, 16:19 3
        
        i don't think we said the same thing there. i was referring to burris's lying. - b! Feb 17, 16:26 1
        
        He was appointed by a liar! He took the appointment. That shows you right there he has no, zero, nadda, ethics. -- nm - Redmond Feb 17, 16:29
        
        It seems like politics in the traditional sense is dead. Stuff like this is supposed to be *leverage*, not PR stunts. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 16:20
- I think the White House had something to do with that - eag Feb 17, 16:09
- Harry Reid? Par for the course... -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 16:06
