It's easier to cry racism than doing what's right. What really strikes me is the Dems have "former" Black Pathers as Congressmen and "former" KKK members as Senators and yet Republicans are the racists.

I don't think Bobby Rush is trying to stick any pins into the Affirmative Action Hero. Roland Burris is a long time Chicago political figure going back to the first Mayor Daley. This is the good ole boys network of Chicago politics and Bobby Rush just wants a longtime friend in.

Bobby Rush belonged to the Black Panthers who created Black Liberation Theology which is preached at Trinity United by Jeremiah Wright whose favorite son is Barack Obama. See, just one big, happy family.

Rodriguez should have asked him why he deliberately used the word "lynch."

She also should have asked him why he thought Burris was entitiled to the seat simply because there are no blacks in the Senate.

One thing you have to say about Blagojevich:  well played.

You're right about the great play by Blogo, MotherBelt.

Jesse Jackson Jr. threw Blogo under the bus and was probably going to get that seat as a reward. It will be hard to turn down Roland Burris. JJ will be the odd man out.

And your problem with that is...? 

For years, we have been screaming about the hypocracy of the DRats "standing in the schoolhouse door" (school vouchers), and how they constantly (and often unfairly) play the race card  on us. So, when two of their own (Rush and Blago) turn the bombsights on the real race-baiting party, dropping a bunker-buster on Dingy Harry, this begs the question:

And just what is your problem, exactly?

 As a Strict Constructionist,  I have two issues that are related:

• On the State level, and given that the chance of the vacant Senate seat being filled by a special election is almost nil, I actually agree with Blago filling the seat, as he is just following the Illinois law as written. [Remember, the Constitution mandates all House members must be elected, but Senate seats are filled at the State's discretion.]
• On the Federal level, it is (probably) Unconstitutional for the Senate to deny him the seat, making every white DRat Senator who signed the letter look like a racist.

Also, Burris said he is taking the Seat only as a caretaker, not running for re-election in 2010. For the GOP, this remains their best hope to take the seat. In other words, if the GOP doesn't support Burris, then they just may get what they wish for: An appointment of someone who will run as an incumbent in 2010.

 My best advice to my fellow Conservatives: Just sit back with the popcorn and enjoy the fun as the Democrats go into their all-too-frequent "circular firing squad" mode!

So. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but the working model in this country is still innocent until proven guilty, isn't it? Which means that, until they actually impeach Blago, they really can't prevent him from performing his duties. One of which is to appoint someone to fill a senatorial vacancy.  And as I understand it, Burris has a clean record (they haven't caught him yet) in his stints in the Illinois state government. So what is the problem. As much as I hate to admit it, the "former" Black Panther is right. The attempt to stop Burris from being seated stinks.

Now we understand that "Dingy Harry and his Klan of Fifty" are liberals, and thus have no regard for, nor would they have any compunction about riding roughshod over, the law. I just hope that the Republicans have the good sense to stay clear of the controversy, or to simply say the nominee meets the Constitutional parameters. In no event should they even allowed themselves to be tricked into doing the Dems, dirty work for them. If it comes to a vote, the Reps should vote right along party lines to seat him (watch though, the RINO's - as usual - will kill us).

I think a recent Coulter column talked about 1974, when the [Dem] Senate refused to seat the [Rep] state certified winner of a New Hampshire senate seat... and 1984, when the [Dem] House refused to seat the [Rep] state certified winner of an Indiana congressional seat.

You have to keep in mind that the U.S. Constitution has no [zip, zero, nada, none, nothing, empty set] meaning to liberals and most democrats.  It's a piece of paper that is useful to them when they can twist the words to their benefit, and flushable when they cannot.

So, assuming this guy is certified by the state, the dems will do whatever they want, regardless of constitutionality... just as they will steal Colemans seat up north.

The irony is, of course, that they have plenty of corrupt dems already in the house and senate, maybe they're afraid of the Chicago machine taking over their action (especially now that thay have the POTUS).

does Bobby Rush sound like he has done sooooo much cocaine, that when he talks, it sounds like he has a cavern in his head??

One can not whine about racism when we have a black president now.  For this guy to play the race card now in this racial climate is ridiculous at best.  Liberals haven't realized that it's useless to try that stunt.  They asked for Obama, now they can live with the fact that they have weakened the racism charges by voting him into office.  This washed up Black Panther needs to get over it.

As for Blago, I think he is genuinely perplexed as to why he's been singled out. I think he is wondering why this stuff has been going on forever, and he is the one getting the shaft. I think it is funny how he just went ahead and appointed Burress. I say, Blago is entertaining, let's keep him around for a while, and let him have several pressers a week.

Congressman Backing Blago's Senate Pick Earlier Cited 'No Moral Basis'
U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush endorsed Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's pick for Senate on Tuesday, but just three weeks ago he said the governor should not make such an appointment.

Wednesday, December 31, 2008

U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush said just three weeks ago that Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has "no moral basis" to appoint someone to fill Barack Obama's vacant U.S. Senate seat -- a stark contrast to his endorsement of Blagojevich's appointment on Tuesday.

Rush joined Blagojevich at his press conference in Chicago to support the pick of Roland Burris, a former state attorney general. Rush said Burris, who is black, would fill the racial void left by Obama as the only black member of the U.S. Senate.

"This is a good decision. Roland Burris is worthy. He has not, in 40 years of public service, had one iota of taint on his record as a public servant," Rush said.

But the Democratic congressman from Illinois expressed a different view on Dec. 9, the day Blagojevich was arrested and accused of trying to sell Obama's seat.

"His goose is cooked," Rush said of the governor. "He has no moral basis for appointing the next senator from the state of Illinois. ... That person would be as tainted as they could be."

Rush said Blagojevich should not make an appointment, and he added that anybody he appoints would be at a "severe disadvantage" when it comes time to run for election in 2010.

On Tuesday, Rush urged the public not to "hang and lynch" Burris simply because he was appointed by Blagojevich.
