How is it that Bush and ALL his cronies get away with MURDER but when the dems get power they try and clean up their own house. Hell no. burris and blagoevich should stay as a fingered salute to the reps and bush.
Burris is an opportunist. He will never resign. He wants to be able to add junior Senator to his tomb stone that he's compiling. Welcome to Chicago politics.
Every politician's son or daughter is somewhere on the payroll. Stroger takes his father's position then appoints his cousin as his secretary at 175k/year. Then turns around and increases Chicago sales tax to highest county in the U.S.
The more we focus on Burris, on the gossip between him and Blago, the deeper we fall into the stupid internecine Democratic battles and into Republican traps. Can't you see progressives are being played with this story? Let s focus on the real and cut this bullshit out.
The white dem leadership is asking Roland to resign and this upsets the black community. Granted, there are some repubs also, but they never get the black vote anyway. Durbin, Pat Quinn and the young turks here are examples of lib dems alienating the black community. It does not matter if they are correct to call for Roland's resignation. The fact is that another entitlement has begun in the black community with the election of Barrack Obama. The white libs have played their role as useful idiot
We have created a "monster" here and we don't even know it. The monster here is not Roland Burris or Blago. The monster is the next phase of affirmative action. We have heard the cries that there better be a "black" senator or else from a significant portion of the African-American community. Lets be honest here-white dem libs buy the black vote and they get elected to office as a result. The next step is to force dems to put in more people of color-eventually white libs will be superfluous.
Burris is Palin's DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCH and PUSSY! Palin is a SUPERIOR and CLEANER politician and statesman than Burris could ever be. She is also MORE MAN than he is. Roland wears the skirt in the Burris family while his wife wears the pants. Burris and Blago will lead to a 1 term Obambi EPIC FAIL and a GREAT, GOLDEN and GLORIOUS 2 term Palin presidency!
No. Just the principal of that if you're going after Burris over Blago then Geitner should never have been chosen for treasury due to his circumstances. Don't mind me. Just rambling. :P
Look, Cenk. You gotta go easy on Burris. A flag here or there, true. But his politics are good and he's a steadfast guy that's represented well on the real issues. You gotta accept that Burris was playing the game he needed to play, and you can't blame him for making a cheap empty promise to Blagojevich regarding money raising. Also, when was the last time anyone got a job w/out connectns? Let Burris stay. It's so easy to get on the anti-Burris bandwagon. Let's focus on the real issues instead.
You are a hypocrite. If Burris was a white republican senator you would be going crazy at his obvious corruption. I am a NY democrat and i think this bum needs to go away. It is an embarassment for the party.
If Roland had any integrity he would resign for the sake of the dignity of the high office but its only the self that gets served & there in lies the very basis for the fall & decline of western civilization.Greed.
Politicians from Chicago appear to be either highly inept, extremely corrupt or basically useless. Um if his house has a foreclosure and a tax lean does that mean that if the bank foreclosures his home the money (at least $34,000) go to the irs?
sorry to burst everybody's bubble, but i dont know of anybody that has ever gotten a job without knowing somebody............with the advent of the internet and each posted job getting 5000 apps a peice, you have to know somebody to get the job
@TriaMaxwell damn..........thanks for the reply to my post...................a year later, way to stay on top of the conversations hahahaha. your current job must keep you real busy. you may be one of the few that has gotten a job like that. every job i have ever had has been through somebody. not that i am not qualified to do the jobs, its just thats the best way to get your resume pulled.
Go Cenk!......Now speak the same truth about Hillary who accepted a position that she voted a pay increase for the year before....WHEN THE CONSTITUTION SAYS THAT IT'S AN ILLEGAL ACT!
Why is this guys crimes more important to correct than ALL the others on the hill?
Cenk needs to start posting his videos in HD, the resolution on these videos are utter crap. As much as I love watching TYT, I'd love it a million times more if it was in HD!
Simple rule of thumb: never, ever believe a single damned word that the liberal media or the United States government says, any time, on any subject. Assume they're lying all the time, and you can't go wrong.
Nepotism, Lobbyism and Opportunism should be rooted out of US politics. The Democrats can show the way in Chicago. Burris must step down or stepped on by the powers that be. Blagojevich needs to serve serious time eating porridge and getting kicked around the exercise yard.
and why would he give up being a senator i sure as hell wouldnt he wasnt charged with a crime so theres nothing they can do to remove him
