TO any Congressional aids lurking...your bosses are shamless. Make no mistake, the Republicans have orhestrated this SHAM! The Dems are just as happy, but the Republicans control the house.
There is not one memeber standing up in support. This is totally, TOTALLY, unbelieveable.
You could mark their words but it will do no good. They were long ago hypocrites and they will be hypocrites always.
Where is the fair hearing? Where? Can you say KAngaroo court. Not ONE WITNESS IN FAVOR?!?!
To: carenot
none of these congressman could stand any scrutiny...pick any one of them from the audience, and they are more than likely guilty of a worse crime, than they accuse Traficant of
To: terilyn; Howlin
No the speaker online is saying how serious this charge is .... grr ..... disgusting.
If God is listening, smack the Capitol with a meteor please.
To: Howlin
He should have been struck by lightning when he said that! We're not that fortunate.
To: aristeides
Are you saying he was wrong to do so, because of something else Demjanjuk may have done (and that, true or not, was inconsistent with the charges DOJ was prosecuting him for)? Demjanjuk was a Nazi camp guard. The DOJ didn't prosecute him for anything. They kicked him out of the country, and the Israeli Supreme Court cleared him of being a guard in the camp he was accused of being in.
We later find out that he was a camp guard in another camp.Nazi guards are Nazi guards.
To: Howlin
Imagine those lying scum democrats who gave clinton a pass and condit a pass........and they're going to vote Trafficant out of congress...............well, BEAM ME UP!!!
To: Mo1
Listening to Berman go on and on about the bribery and other charges, I thought he was speaking about Toricelli.
To: Defender2
We should make a list of the LIARS on TV tonight!
To: Howlin
That one congressman saying that they shouldn't use their office for personal gain... Well what do you call getting blow jobs from interns?
To: Centurion2000
Cheney's not there; fine by me!
To: Howlin
A list of liars would consume too much bandwidth.
To: Howlin
He's got 3 minutes. He has yet to say, "Beam Me Up." I expect it now.
To: Mo1
Traficant is either going to cry, kill himself, or something equally as shocking.
Some Rep. just made me want to puke using 9-11 as an example of how great Congress was at bringing all us stupid little peons together after "Thousands of Americans were killed".
Some joker judge/rep just claimed it wasn't EEEEEEEEsEEEEEEEE to sentence people to death.
Traficant gets to close - head of Ethics committee yielded his right to close to him.
To: spectre
There is also an impeached by the U.S. Senate Federal Judge serving in Comgress - Alcee Hastings D - FL. And then there is the Delegate from D.C., Ms. Eleanor Holmes Norton, who, when she was elected, was found to have not paid her federal income tax for years. They just pushed that one under the rug.
To: Howlin
Traficant will be LUCKY to get 2 votes as some have predicted.
To: marajade
3 Hours! 3 Hours! God forbid they must be tired- I hope they have gatorade on hand!
To: YaYa123
Every member of the house on the floor...and not one that supports. HAh!
