“This affair illustrates just how out of control the Democrats in Washington are, and you should find it very troubling.”
I just think that a Governor who has a history of corruption and who did try to sell the Senate seat, and has less than 4% approval rating...how are we conservatives supposed to side with him?
I do think the Democrats are absolutely insane. I really do.
I think the right of the people of Illinois has been violated: they should decide the senator. No corrupt governor should be allowed to do this.
The ‘Rats are just afraid of the chance that a Republican might be elected. That’s what it is.
The entire Democrat party is a den of slithering corruption. I believe Blago is a manifest example of that. That said, due process HAS to mean something in our country. HAS to. Blago is still governor. He is still presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law or until he confesses, whichever comes first. Given all that, he has the right to appoint this senator, and Washington Democrats have NO right to refuse to seat that appointment. If Harry Reid has singular control over who gets admitted to the senate, we have become an oligarchy.
Burris should be seated because there is absolutely no legal reason to prevent it. I also have zero doubt that Dingy Harry's corruption, if exposed, would make Blago look like a saint.
