I think this story is truly the big race story.

What he did was absolutely peanuts compared to what the “boyz” have been doing for years.

I think he’s making a very real statement. I rather like him, btw.

He’s a guy who is a whole lot smarter than people think.

*nuance*

There is nothing terribly untoward in fundraising as a quid pro quo. (And before Clintonites get their panties in a bunch about that statement, they need to tell me what they thought Denise Rich's $450,000 contribution to the Clinton library was all about.)The problem is, he looks to have perjured himself. And his perjury goes not to personal peccadilloes (which are nobody's business), but to the actual office itself and the manner in which he was appointed to it. I don't think Illinoisans deserve a Senator who, if the reports are true, literally lied himself into office.So I think Burris should resign. And I expect he will, sooner rather than later.

The Torturer in Chief and his crime family are DIRECTLY responsible for the deaths of at LEAST hundreds of thousands of humanbeings, have DEFINITLY committed war crimes and attempted to utterly subvert the Constitution of the United States and there is NO movement what so ever to investigate them and hold them accountable. Makes sense to me! So let me see if I have this straight…Senator Burris may, MAY have lied in some testimony and so there is a bruehaha and screaming for him to resign and an investigation.

I agreed totally with the retiree quoted today when he said, parenthetically, move on Illinois. You'll get to vote someone else in within 2 years.This is all nothing but "fluffandnutter."
