U.S. Senator Roland Burris (D-Chicago Corruption) may have deep trouble ahead as the pandemic of corruption, pay-to-play, who-you-know, how much you can give, cronyism and Chicago (Daley) style politics continue to infect Illinois and affect the U.S. Senate.

Anyone who votes in 2010 for the same politicians who got us in this fiscal and ethical mess should be ashamed of themselves.
Everyone from Daley to Madigan (Lisa and her Daddy) to Stroger to Quinn to all those who look the other way on corruption are why we have such high taxes and no ethics.
Just like his boss OBAMA, Burrass lied and cheated his way into office and even tried to pay for it...now all these stupes in Illinois want even more of your tax money. How dumb can you be voting for these crooks!
When the dust settles, Obama is going to have decide if he's with or against Chicago corruption. He can't change Washington and America if he can't change Chicago and Illinois.
As a Dem, it saddens me to see this nonsense permeate every level of government. Holmes, Chapa LaVia, Campos, etc. It's all about getting into office and burrowing in. Doesn't matter how you get in, just get in. Promise everyone everything, then ignore the real opportunity for change you've been given. Then promise the suckers everything again during the next election cycle. We're all chumps if we continue playing by their rules.
This is "the change you can believe in people", the Chicago-style Democratic machine has gone national and pay-to-play corruption has went to Washington DC. If you think BHO who never went after Blago, Daley and his own corrupt party while he was in the state legislature was not a party to this corruption you are drunk on the Kool-aid.
No mention Openline of Tom Weisner and his friends Nayak, Shodeen, Planned Parenthood, and others. Who bought you out and what did they blackmail or buy you out with?
Blah, blah, blah.... Why isn't anyone fighting hard for Aurora? We need to save our $. I think we need to organize a street protest every Saturday (reuse your signs & have a picnic) with a focus on 'silly spending' theme for the week.
We have quite a few items ready to be ridiculed:
- police station costing more than a 5-star resort with 500 suites
- a park, priced as a theme park but only has grass, a few benches and a stage
- the election committee building fiasco
....
any more you want to add?
Since unemployment is high, suggest you join us as there won't be too much to do anyway. Maybe you can make a few bucks selling fat free cookies & lemonade... great way to network and make friends. Might as well make the most of the weather.
As long as you vote for the DEMOCRATS in Ilinois you will have corruption...they know no other way. It is a way of life for them that's why they keep voting the way their ancestors did no matter what the outcome. Get a good politcal job and then go on disability for the rest of your life or have two or three different pensions from the taxpayer.
Dont give me the stuff about George Ryan being a Republican...he was a RINO and it showed from the very beginning.
There should be 365 days of wiretaps on Mayor Daley and all his aides and their aides if we want to get to the root of corruption in Chicago and Illinois.
There should be a law enacted to make Patrick Fitzgerald a perminent resident of Illinois as it will probably take a lifetime to discovery to unravel our political mess.
You can tell just by looking at him that Burris deserves this office just like OBama deserves the presidency its obvious.
uh, Obama does deserve the presidency. Remember, he actually won the election.
