Burris? He voted in favor of ACORN. He spoke out in favor of ACORN, in the midst of the scandalous videos. Burris is from Illinois. He is in the pocket of community organizers, Jesse Jackson and his ilk, SEIU, etc. There is no way Burris will do anything but what a typical leftist, machine Dem would do. He will vote in lockstep for whatever healthcare bill the Dems put forward.
If we could absolutely predict how people will vote, there would be no point in having elections, lobbying, or even having a website like Free Republic. We could just let the computers factor out all the contervailing forces, tot up the statistical likelihoods, and then make the decrees by which we live.
But we're not entitled to give up, because "people are odd, sometimes" and we simply do not know.
Personally, I'm concentrating on Nelson and Lincoln. But those who pull any trick out of the bag with Burris, should do so now.
Chicago radio has been announcing all morning that the Senate Ethics Com. is “admonishing” Roland Burris for his statements regarding involvement with former governor Blago. Seems like odd timing, he may be getting “squishy” on his healthcare yes vote. Call him at 202-224-2854, fax 202-222-3333, urge him to vote “no.” The Dems are ready to throw him under the bus anyway, he has nothing to lose. A great parting shot, denying them access to this pot of money.
