Live Thread -- Traficant Expulsion Vote

CSPAN, et al. | July 24, 2002

[Howlin]

Recovering_Democrat suggested a live thread for the "song and dance" about to take place up on the Hill, so here it is!

If you see/hear it, post it.

[Nowhere Man]

Well, looks like "The Man" has really slapped Traficant down and Congress went along with it.

[YaYa123]

Thanks for the giggle.

OF COURSE NOT Defender

He is pet yorkie he doesn't vote

HE IS A DOG

[OldFriend]

Last I read, the committee didn't even bother to show up for his hearings.....they sent staff! A pox on them all.

[pattycake]

Right on, I am with you, what I meant was that it is time we all got on the same page and start calling the critters and letting them know we are taking back our country. They are supposed to be public servants, serve time and get out, but instead they pursue their little agenda's and the only time they want to appear to be for the people that voted for them is at election time. It's time to make them accountable.

[Defender2]

#1343 agreed. However in this instance, Bonior not voting aye, smells!!!! What's Bonior hiding????

[Don Joe]

"Condit was trying to say something with that vote, now I just wonder what it was."

Dear Jim,

If you do write a tell-all book, please keep my name out of it.
Thank you very much!

Your Friend,

Gary

#1345 Agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY!!!!

[SevenofNine]

OHH Defender honey

ALOT that wacky Pet Yorkie is

Think about it this guy want run for Governor he not going say JACK about Traficant
Majority of Congress are crooks and rapists you don't hear about it
Media cover up

[pattycake]

Thanks, when I called my critter today, I told them that they would not even consider expelling someone like Jim Moran, money grubbing bum or Gary Condit, or going after Tom Daschle and all the rest of them that take campaign contributions for favors. It's time to clean house.

[Defender2]

#1349 All true!!!! We have to start taking Our Country Back!!!! We have to start now!!!! Big Government has now definitely turned into Big Brother!!!! It's Way Past Time for ALL of them to GO!!!! TIME TO START OVER FROM SCRATCH!!!!

Did Condit vote?

Not only did Condit vote, but he was the only Member of Congress to vote against expulsion.

Hmmm....

re: 984

I recorded it, all of it..watched Trafficant and quiet honestly, I now believe he is the one the Dem's are offering up as a "see, were ethical". Yes, I saw the vote as well. Did he do wrong? Well, the court said so. But I have to say, I am really pissed right now. Why? Because I am pissed that we all know there is big time corruption in congress, much bigger than what this guy did. They did the right thing by getting rid of him, now they need to do the right thing and get rid of all themselves.

[pattycake]

I don't think he did the corruption, I think he was set up, he voted with the Republicans the most, he also has a lot of knowledge of who did what. The dems wanted to get rid of him and at the end he said he would tell on all of them. We need to hear more.

[BillyBoy]

>> His problem with Traficant is that Traficant is a convicted felon. Do you think convicted felons should be serving in Congress? <<

I dunno. Ask all the G. Gordon Liddy and Ollie North supporters here.

[BillyBoy]

>> I believe it was Phil Daniel Crane of Illinois who had relations with a female page. <<

Please don't confuse incumbant Congressman PHIL Crane with ex-congressman Daniel Crane. Phil Crane is a solid, principled conservative and his only past crime was being a bit too fond of the bottle. Feminazi Melissa Bean would love to defeat Phil this year, however!

[Howlin]

I needed to be smacked around. I was in the middle of having yet another belief torn to shreds in front of my very eyes.

You'd think I would have learned by now, but, geez, they are ALL crooks????

[Iowa Granny]

Ping for reading tomorrow

[Jay W]

Traficant was railroaded out. I am glad that he said that Reno is a traitor, because that is exactly what she is. Ditto for the rest of the Clinton Administration.

[hinckley buzzard]

Not cynical. There are many Traficant fans in LaTourette's district, even without the new map. Nevertheless, he (LaTourette) has an excellent reputation throughout NE Ohio, and doesn't need to pander for votes.
