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.

I can only speak for myself, but I have a lot of reasons for my devotion.

Here's one (minute):

FBI AGENT WHO KILLED VICKI WEAVER CAN BE PROSECUTED
June 6, 2001
Mr. Speaker, a Federal court ruled that the FBI agent that killed Vicki Weaver can be prosecuted. Finally, a Federal court with some anatomy. Check the facts. The Department of Justice once again investigating the Justice Department once again concluded that Agent Horiuchi accidentally shot Mrs. Weaver. Accident, my BVDs. Vicki Weaver was shot stone cold right between the eyes while holding her infant child.
Mr. Speaker, the FBI is beginning to look more and more like the KGB. I yield back the fact that if the FBI and Justice Department were not guilty at Ruby Ridge, why did they pay Randy Weaver $3 million and his wounded friend, Kevin Harris, $400,000 to shut them up? Think about it.

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.
