<"our new U.S. senator proved himself to be a lying little sneak.">

Very fitting-In the image of our new U.S. president himself. Is this a black thing, a dimmacrat thing, or a Chicago thing? Or all of the above?

Notice the lie didn’t come out until the Porkulus vote happened.

Oh well, liars, tax cheats, pay for play, treason and treachery, voter fraud, are imbred into the socialist democrats.

Who tipped off Burris about the FBI recording?

The reasons??? He’s from Illinois, he’s a democrat, he’s a fraud, he’s a criminal, as a democrat it is expected of him, he believes being a democrat excludes him being called on it, because you are racist if you accuse him, pick your own reason, any excuse will do because he is (let me repeat this) a DEMOCRAT and it is part of his heritage.

Remember, they didn’t want him in the Senate to begin with.

No Bill Clinton proved perjury under oath is ok in some cases. The question is, in the Burris case, who was wearing a blue dress ?

What happened in the Burris case is that Burris successfully played the race card. No one dared to challenge him, no white man, that is. -and the Obama administration was stuck, they couldn’t call him on the lie without releasing ALL the tapes of Blagojovich, which would have shown that the Obama administration and the SEIU were in the business of buying and selling political positions, as well.

My guess is that Burris was being threatened behind the scenes about being prosecuted and this mea culpa is his way of letting Rahm Emmanuel know that he is going to defend himself, in the press, not behind closed doors. The man is a lawyer, he’s no Uncle Tom, like he presented himself. It’s an act.

I hope the Illinois Republicans don’t push Burris too hard. We WANT to run against him in 2010. He is damaged goods. I would rather run against him than a stronger Lisa Madigan or Tammy Duckworth who would have the benefits if incumbancy.

I really hope they don’t blow it. We have a good chance to win this senate seat if we chose our opposition carefully. Think guys!
