Bobby did pipe up.
However, my wife who grew up in Illinois and some of her SIL’s who still live in Illinois, knew nothing about Bobby.
They do know who Jackson, Sharpton and Farrakhan are.
Lord Obama, the righteous Zer0 is an Oreo, not an African American with ancestors who were slaves.
Even if the 17th Amendment did not trump section 5 of Article 1, the whole Senate did not vote on Burris.
“the old-guard Black “Leaders” they can no longer tell “their people” how to think. They’re sitting this one out, their dem massas own them, after all.”
You nailed it. These so called Black Leaders are the modern day Overseers, paid and controlled by the elite Rat racists, the Democrats. The DemocRat masters have told these overseers to stfu in this situation.
“...Burris, if he chooses, would really embarrass Reid and Co. “
Gov. Brago is the one who can do the most damage to Congress and Obama administration. But will he????
Well in this case ignorance is bliss.
I guess I am out of the loop, didn’t know Burris was being refused because of his race, but because he was appointed by a corrupt Gov, who was told not to appoint anyone, because he tried to auction off the senate seat to the highest bidder.
And this Democrat demonstrates how to win against them. Burris is fighting for it and will win. Our Republicans give up about half way through which is why they continually lose. They should take notice.
Yep you are out of the loop.
Catch the retired judge on Fox News for the minimal amount of certification actually required. Basically if the replacement senator is alive, old enough and from Illinois, that meets the certification.
Blago may be the worse governor since Bill Clintoon, but he has not been convicted of any crimes nor impeached. He is still the elected governor of Illinois.

BOL! The one liberal in my wife’s family back in Illinois, a niece, lives in Chicago and knew all about Brother Bobby.
Ha, ha.. ha.
REPUBLICANS ARE BEHIND THIS! < /S >
Imagine the backlash that would explode if Burris got frustrated enough to switch parties.
Burping out loud??
I still think that the circumstances of which Burris is coming to the Senate are contemptable, and feel the same way about Al Franken if he she try to take a seat. Having Burris and Franken in the Senate only lowers the Senate’s respect to a New low, so low that being a Senator is not an honor anymore, just a big fat Joke.
As a Republican, I take full blame for this, and also for Bill Clinton lowering his drawers for Monica in the Oval Office.. it is all an evil plot by Republicans of which I am a part of.
LOL! “Axe” me anything....LOL indeed!
unless i read something wrong, he was turned away because his paperwork was not in order. what i actually heard yesterday is that it hadn’t been signed by the secretary of state.
