[11th Earl of Mar]

In other words, "I hate Trent Lott because he couldn't get liberal Democrats like Traficant to vote against the president...

"But I support James Traficant, who voted with Bill Clinton, because he looked tired and was pressured to vote against his conscience by the Democratic machine...

"And if we only had more Traficant like people, Clinton would have been convicted, even though Traficant himself would not have voted to convict."

Do you live in Palm Beach?

LOTT didn't try!!!! He violated his oath!!!! It seems you must have been dropped on your head. You just don't get it. If you are a LEADER you don't react to polls you honor your oath and hold a full trial not a KANGAROO KOURT FOR THE PERJURER and RAPIST. No DEMORAT went to even view the evidence because they knew they couldn't refute it. IF a real trial had been held TRENT LOTT could have compelled them through the process of the trial to face it. Instead he elected to become SPENT LOTT willingly. Which is worse?
Traficant atleast resisted SPENT LOTT cheerily marched right together with the Demorats.

Without the pressure Traficant would have voted to convict or can't your brain grasp that. You are the one displaying the Palm Beach County mentality. "The poll and spinmeisters said they wouldn't get a conviction so we shouldn't even try!" "Let's just ignore the law and the CONSTITUTION in this case because it would be hard and might make us unpopular"!
