That is absolute BS! This is a board for thoughtful debate. Back up that statement.
Well, well. Those are strong words, and the second time in a week that I have been commanded to do one or the other thing by thoughtful posters here. Being somewhat independent, I decline such suggestions. I will, however, offer a suggestion or two to you.
If you only get your information from the internet, and I know a lot of thoughtful posters do, at least avail yourself to a good search engine and look into Mr. Traficant's history. Did you know that he was a sheriff in Mahoning County, Ohio before he was elected to congress? That he was accused of taking bribes from the mob? That he was acquitted of those charges, but had to pay the IRS for the money anyway?
Granted, maybe you weren't around in the early 80s, but none of us were around during the Civil War. That does not prevent some from becoming authorities on that period.
