#1199 Lockstep vote; "There's something REALLY Wrong in Washington!!!!!!!!!!! Time To Take The Country Back!!!!

[Jhoffa_]

*Well* from the point of view that Trafficant is being burned at the stake by hipocrytes..

Yeah.. To a large extent I will agree with you there.

Just watching CSPAN makes me want to scream, the arrogance of some of them. Especially the Senate. Like Barney Fag sarcastically acusing others of not being aware.. He had a prostitution ring in his own house (ahem) he wasn't aware of.

The fact that he is a man should comfort Dark Mirage.

Ohhhhhhh..

[NeoCaveman]

They are the best. Thanks Howlin.

[Howlin]

Am I what? And who are you?

[StriperSniper]

Yeah, that is so much more important, PUKE!!!

(Directed at the media {usefull idiots} not you.)

[WKB]

Live threads are THE BEST, aren't they?

[Constitution Day]

I bet most of them jetted out of there to go screw there girlfriends now that the shows over.

Or, ummmm... boyfriends.

"and Zoe Lofgren is a wilted flower child from the '60s."....

She's a 400 pound prevaricating Clinton apologist. She and that fat democrat(name is right on the tip of my tongue) from New York ought to do a Sumo Wrestling match to close the night.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

So anyone know what happens now regarding a replacement? Is it up the the Governor or the State Legislature?

[Reactionary]

You can bet that there are far more in Congress who are dirtier than Traficant. His only problem is that he doesn't have the dirt on the scumbags, so they have no reason to fear him.

And the scumbags will moralize and squawk, of course, as they ignore terrorists, the FBI incinerating Americans, the president providing communists with missile technology for campaign cash.

[Defender2]

Howlin, the way that vote went, theres something REALLY REALLY Wrong in Washington!!!!

[mhking]

I wish I could listen to WKBN in Youngstown, to hear the reaction.

Of course, they're owned by Cheap Channel, so they aren't streaming...

[kissoldspot]

I thought I sensed a touch of insincerity in all the dems saying what a sad and agrevious task they had been faced with.......I imagine that in private they are all quite proud of themselves for dispatching renos biggest critic

[aristeides]

I don't agree. "Present" seems to me quite a proper vote for a member who thought Traficant was guilty (and the evidence does seem to establish that he is,) but who objected to the proceeding.

[Howlin]

How about a little humility, a little acknowledgement that they just did something unusual.

[NeoCaveman]

The governor can call a special election....but it would be assinine to do that this close to the election. With that said it will probably happen.

[StriperSniper]

If the scum on the floor are afraid that means.........IT'S TIME!!!
