Cynthia McKinney’s hair only get an 8 on the crazy scale? Cynthia rates a 9.5 just breathing.

MAkes you wonder if he wore that “rug” just for fun. Sort of like wearing a cowboy hat in NYC in February.

Shouldn’t McKinney be the 11 and Traficant be the 8?

I’m with you. Hope he’s the same. Used to enjoy watching him on those after session “special reports” or whatever they are called.
Bet he gets back in!

How many more Americans must be victimized and live in fear of terrorists? Tell me, Mr. Speaker, how many more Americans must be abused before Congress secures our border? Beam me up. I yield back a massive problem that can and will not be solved. - July 15, 1999 Traficant got a 27% ACU rating in 1998.

Traficant was busted for not paying the taxes for the $160,000.00 in bribes that he did not pay taxes on, and never turned in.

Sorry, he didn’t get a 27% ACU rating in 1998, that was his LIFETIME rating in 1998.
“Traficants lifetime American Conservative Union rating was 27% in 1998.”
ACU ratings—”Specter has a lifetime rating of 44.47, while Snowe has a lifetime rating of 47.88 and Collins a 49.55.”

I have liked Jim Traficant since he was the QB for the Pitt Panthers when I was a kid!

He was/is a conservative with a D after his name, now a I.
I know absolutely nothing about the alchemist but Traficant on all issues is well known.
As for being a felon. It was a Democrat hatchet job.
Show me issues on which he wrong versus being right.

"Traficant was busted for not paying the taxes for the $160,000.00 in bribes that he did not pay taxes on, and never turned in."Again, I say that you would be hard--pressed to find a Democrat that isn't taking bribes; but if you toe the Party line, and don't make trouble, you skate. You piss off the Party, and they'll sic the prosecutors on ya.

Again, I say that you would be hard--pressed to find a Democrat that isn't taking bribes; Are you actually defending corrupt, bribe taking Sheriffs that partner up with Organized Crime?

"Are you actually defending corrupt, bribe taking Sheriffs that partner up with Organized Crime?"Don't know where you came up with THAT idea. LOL
What I said was, he was prosecuted because he didn't vote en bloc with The Party; while others that have done worse and stuck with the votes as expected are NOT prosecuted or indicted.

Politicians like “beam me up” give a fun side to politics. I hope he has learned a lesson, and I wish him well.

"he wasn't "rail-roaded, he was caught, thank God."Again; he was ONLY "caught" because The Party wanted him out, and replaced with a Party Loyalist. Otherwise, (if he wasn't maverick-voting), he would NEVER have been outed.
