BINGO! What counts is the OVERALL THRUST of Traficant's impact. To point out individual disagreements with this or that vote is nitpicking. I could make Bush look like a liberal by isolating a few votes. For that matter I could make almost anyone in public office look like a liberal (or a conservative) by highlighting a few votes here and there. However, if ever there were someone who makes the liberals incredibly UNCOMFORTABLE, it is Jim Traficant. Hey, what Republican is so outspoken about the corruption of the Clinton gang, the IRS, or the BATF as Traficant?
