It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group of Idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

Also the same group who vote to toss out a member for having a contituent pour some concrete into his driveway. CRIME OF THE CENTURY!!!

OK, let's ask a simple question....what happens if he wins? A lot of folks in Ohio actually like the guy and would vote for him just to upset congress.

[PJ-Comix]

You're a kook-- not a heretic!

Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb!

[Plutarch]

How is the media going to cover the political implications of this story without mentioning Trficant's political party?

[just me]

If I lived in Ohio I would vote for him. Just to piss people off.

[PJ-Comix]

OK, let's ask a simple question....what happens if he wins?

1. Incredible entertainment (lost of comedic material for Leno and Letterman).

2. An embarressed Demmycrat candidate who got beaten by an inmate.

3. An entire Congress who are gonna look like they just got collectively bitch-slapped (especially that idiot Hulshof from Missouri) when Jimbo returns to their "august" chambers.

4. A mass audience for all Trificant "BEAM ME UP!" speeches in the future.

5. A sudden run on squirrel/wigs as a hot Halloween and Christmas item.

6. A return of sartorial splendor to Congress....NOT!

Give up yet?

This could be the list of my fellow members of my church. All of us fall short.

[PJ-Comix]

All of us fall short.

Not me. I'M PERFECT!

[just me]

I just posted it the way it was e-mailed to me.

gunnedah : ask about it.

I know we all fall short of the glory of God.

[OldSmaj]

But you will support a covert liberal named GW Bush. Because he wears the republican tag.

WRONG!

I support the conservative cause and a strict interpretation of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.

So far, that "covert liberal", as you have labeled him, and the Republican party are the only two entities/organizations that agree most with the way I feel.

I will not support anyone or anything blindly.

I voted for Bush with reservations. So far, he has lived up to my expectations of him. Admittedly, those expectations were low, as I do feel that Bush has some definite liberal tendencies, but he was, for me at least, much the better choice than that idiot Gore or the even more of an idiot Nader.

Speak for yourself. I hope Traficant kicks the stuffing out of the Republicrats. Because you guys get 50% (25% for R's 25% D's) of the vote, you think you are in the majority.
You're not.

[Marysecretary]

Isn't that a hoot? I almost hope he wins! He was a character but I couldn't help but like him. He did speak out.

[just me]

Could be.. just posted the way I recived it. I'm out of here..

[VRWC_minion]

Not me. I'M PERFECT!

My wife is still working on me. So far I have given up drinking, smoking, fatty foods, caffeine and wiskers in sink. Still on her list is staring at girls, socks on the floor, helping around the house and probably more than I know as of yet. In 100 years I'll be perfect.

[PJ-Comix]

He was a character but I couldn't help but like him. He did speak out.

To me, Traficant is the "Anti-Sosh." Remember the "Soshes" from high school. They were the phony frat types who were always running for Student Council or Student Body president. They gave you phoney smiles but tried to be slick. It's the same type that grew up to become Congressmen. Traficant was a glaring exception to that rule. No "sosh" would be caught dead wearing those baggy beige clothes of his or talk like he did.

So among many other reasons, I like Traficant because he is the Anti-Sosh.

[Marysecretary]

Get off your bullcrap about Bush. He's no liberal. He may not be as conservative as many of us would like, but he's no liberal, either. If you want liberal, vote for Hillary.

[PJ-Comix]

In 100 years I'll be perfect.

Not if Petra Verkaik walks by your window because you would quickly relapse to your "staring at girls" phase.

[PJ-Comix]

I hope Traficant kicks the stuffing out of the Republicrats.

According to Jimbo, he's aiming for the crotch.

[MadIvan]

Oh that's too funny. I can imagine Traficant winning re-election and sending audio tapes from prison to be played on the House floor..."Beam me up" rides again. ;)
