Recovering_Democrat suggested a live thread for the "song and dance" about to take place up on the Hill, so here it is!

If you see/hear it, post it.

I can't decide which is more disgusting, Traficant or THEM

Howlin <---------- Lurking congressional aid alert!

I'm gonna miss his hair.

So will the birds and squirrels.

(and registered).

Traficant is a convicted felon.

Maybe so .... but these House pukes make the Pharisees and Roman Senators look like archangels by comparison.

[NeoCaveman]

I heard no NO's

[Catspaw]

Here we go.....

[Howlin]

Excuse me?

[Defender2]

#1011 Amen to that!!!! We could name Liars in that bunch quite accurately after all we've seen them do!!!!

[Howlin]

You said it!

[Rebelbase]

Trafficant is up to bat now. "He said that i took money from companies that I did favors for, they owed me money. I bushhogged their acres for them. There is something unusual here, you did not elect me. my people dont want me out."

Now talking about some 1967 jury plan that excluded his "people" as witness, people from his district. The jury is the congress, not one constituent was on there.

A lot of you don't like me cause I raised 1.3 billion and I raided a lot of your programs.

There may come a time when you get targetd. Watch what you say. shut up about the Reno case. Time has expired. I want your vote. My people elected me. I dont think you should take their representation away. Is nothing personal." 2/3 just voted aye.

[snippy_about_it]

After the garbage spoken tonight and often in the House, you tell me who is an exemplary of a Member of Congress and who should they all aspire to be like?

17 MINUTES TO HELL ON A RAIL

[swheats]

Make no mistake, the Republicans have orhestrated this SHAM! The Dems are just as happy, but the Republicans control the house.

You might be late to the happenings but the majority of those that have stood up for Trafficant have been Republican. There have been no dems supporting him. Once again they've been in lockstep.

[floriduh voter]

The sums of money and what Traficant was charged with and maybe rightly so, still pale in comparison with what HRC, Bubba, MacAuliffe, Algor and their crowd do all the time. I'm glad he's got it in for Janet Reno. She is just one traitor that comes to mind. She could have gotten bin laden but didn't have enough evidence. How about the 1993 WTC bombing? How about the USS Cole. Man, she is a traitor and so is Bubba and Algor; Lieberman, etc....

I'm out of this thread. People are dissing my name - well, men actually, they are wasting bandwidth. LOL Proud to be floriduh voter (sarcasm, fellas).

[My Favorite Headache]

17 minutes left of this man's fate.......tick tick tick

[justshe]

Nope.........not one. Sigh.

[Centurion2000]

WOW ... not a single vote Nay via voice.

17 minutes to record the electronic votes.

[marajade]

i wonder who voted present?

[Unknown Freeper]

Can Traficant cast a vote now? Who is that one present vote?

[Catspaw]

So far, no No's, but one voting present. He's outta there.
