I will never understand why Traficant is so popular on this website. (Sure he's colorful but look at his voting record) People like to bash Republicans but love moderate Democrats like Traficant and Zell Miller, go figure. Me either.
But in reality, he is not that popular. Most freepers would lock him away and throw away the key.
His voting record should be an embarassment to all those who worship him.
He was pro-abortion. Pro-taxpayer-funding of abortion. Pro-NEA. Anti-impeachment of Bill Clinton.
I think his supporters would support Tom, Ted and Hillary if they beat up on Janet Reno.

I think all of our representitives that encourage, support, and or ignore this titanic illegal alien invasion should all be immediately removed from office and jailed for failure to do their jobs, secure our borders, and uphold our sovereignty....

To: duckln
Good for the G-Man and good for Traficant for standout performances. Out of 435 greedy grubbers in the House, Traficant is a golden coin.Vote for Traficant!
Yeah, great. Now, if you can just name a single thing that Traficant did for his district in all those years....(embarassing them doesn't count).

On principle alone, I vote no. I don't think those in prison should have voting rights at all.

What does any congressman do for their district? They all take a slice of the pie, including Jim, but few are worth it.
Gingrich 'nationalized' the congress to work for the good of the nation. Traficant is one of the few that did that over his party, espescially in the case of protection from the IRS.
Vote for Traficant.

Traficant never got my vote when he *was* my representative. The guy's a total joke who should have started doing time a long ago for his "one person sting operation" against the Mob.
If any city could use someone to go to bat for them it's Youngstown. Unfortunately, Traficant's always been too preoccupied making an ass out of himself to do anything for his constituents.

Just like 'liberals', IMO and as Rush often says, you can't vote him out so you have the 'courts' do it. Beam me up.
Vote for Jim, one of few who believes in the 1st ammenment and proved it by example. Jim was a source of 'straight talk' out of DC. Now there is none.

The Democratic Mayor of Youngstown served a jail term, then ran for Mayor again, and won. But running from jail??? I don't think so!!

What if they are 'not' guilty in your eyes? Personally IMO he got shafted. How about OJ?
Think about it.
