James POS Traficant BUMP! Just go away IDIOT!

[allmost]

word!

[hosepipe]

Beam him out to the Borg Hive at the DNC...
His resistence will be futile and he will be as corrupt as all of them..
he will want his slice of the pie...

[doc1019]

Go for it … you piece of crap, considering your heritage and political background, you might get elected. As a matter of fact, you probably will get elected, considering the current political conditions.

[Dissident1]

bribery, filing false income tax returns, obstruction of justice, conspiracy to defraud the United States and racketeering.

He's clearly qualified to become the Czar for Acorn.

[kaila]

These ex politicians don't know what else to do with their lives.
Unlike the rest of the taxpaying population, who have job skills, these people have nothing going for them.
Politics is their only job skill.
Do not elect them back, have them work at McDonald's so they gain some humility. We need people who are of high quality, not ex cons.

[dalereed]

He’s better than 90% of the so called Republicans!!!!

“He's clearly qualified to become the Czar for Acorn.”

He is also qualified to be a Democrat congressman....

[tflabo]

Bad timing for Traficante-—just as ACORN is tanking now there may not be enough fraudsters to pull him over the line
to a cheating victory. Shame in that he would fit right in with Pelosi’s culture of Dem corruption in DC.

Traficant took on the IRS. Too few congressmen do that.

[ssaftler]

He's clearly qualified to become the Czar for Acorn.

I was thinking either Secretary of the Treasury (oops, too late, someone with equal qualifications beat him to it) or head of the IRS, actually.

[duckln]

I semi agree. Go for it, but big!!

You took on your whole corrupt party and got nailed for it.

Run for Senator in the primaries, IMO opinion you'll win.

Based on your record in Congress, your conservative values, and spunk, you'll be a shoo in.

If Alcee Hastings can do it, James the wig can do it! There aren’t enough conspiracy nuts in the Congress to cover for the criminal democrats, so let him back in!

[charmedone]

“He’s better than 90% of the so called Republicans!!!!”

I always thought he had a certain ‘classy’ style. Called a spade a spade. Better than that dickweed Flake in AZ.

[duckln]

Your by line implies truth. I see just the opposite in your post.

Trafficant didn't need acorn, and he voted for Hastern not his own corrupt party. Now that's a little truth for you.

[TBP]

He’s still got a following. He had a better voting record than most Democrats.

[hinckley buzzard]

If Traficant runs for Congress he will win. Period. You don't know the Mahoning Valley. If he could have run from his prison cell he would have been elected then too.

Thanks for the link. Just many freepers it seems, haven't read his classic rants.
