Yeah I like him too. Nutjob or not, he’s a better conservative than 90% of the republicans.

I wonder if his hair is the same.

I always kinda liked the guy too. He was a bit nutty sometimes, but in a good way.

We could have used his vote a few times over the last few years.

"Make room for Cold Cash Jefferson."

Heh. Did he "yield the remainder of his time" to his "esteemed colleague from Louisiana"?

I would like him to run for congress again. If that convicted judge from Miami can do it, he can too.

I believe in law and order. So naturally, I think Jim got what he deserved. That being said, it bothers me considerably the selective enforcement we have going on these days.

When a president insights people to conduct violence from the Oval Office, I think he should be prosecuted for it.

When he advocates organizations like ACORN take part in illegal activity, he should be called on it.

When he asks citizens to turn other citizens in for voicing their opinions, I think he should be tossed out of office for it.

When a guy can’t prove he’s qualified to be president in the first place, why should he be sworn in or remain in office?

Trafficant bud, you did nothing more than this ass hat clown in the White House has done.

You paid your debt to society, but it appears others have their debts excused don’t they.
