Live Thread -- Traficant Expulsion Vote

CSPAN, et al. | July 24, 2002

[Howlin]

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.

[Constitution Day]

Unsurprising, I suppose.

CONDIT VOTED AGAINST RESOLUTION!!!

Wow..

I wonder if this was a protest vote, a "I know something you don't know" vote, a "gee, I feel sorry for him" vote, a "You know, I was chased around too and felt harassed" vote or simply a "I believe him based on the merits of the evidence presented me" vote.

Just Amazing.

"And now I hate them all. All of them"

Total Agreement From Here >>>>>>>>>>

[agrandis]

I heard some Yankee guy on the radio the other day. He said something very true that I have been thinking now for 4 years. He said there may be two parties, and they may hate each other, but when it comes to uncovering corruption, they close ranks. That is the undeniable truth!

[cibco]

"That looked like something out of the Kremlin!!!!"

Yes it did... Comrade.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Anyone hear anything more on a projected Fox news show with JC Watts and actor Jerry Doyle (Garibaldi from the show "Babylon 5")?

[StriperSniper]

Pussies, but half honorable pussies.

[kstewskis]

Visit it before it's gone! http://www.house.gov/traficant/

for what it's worth, I sent him an email wishing him the best of luck, and "we'll see you back in January!" :o)

"He says Jim will be re-elected by a landslide:)"

LOL...at least (among other things) Traficant is honest enough not to completely deny that he's been a crook of some type...just that he's the KIND of crook the feds made him out to be.

I believe he was railroaded..then and now.

And watching that man trying to speak as his whole life fell down around his ears....sad....very sad.

[Jhoffa_]

I still can't get my jaw off the ground.

Oh, me either..

Condit was trying to say something with that vote, now I just wonder what it was.

It's gonna kill me if he doesn't come clean about it in the press.

and I am gonna really be floored if Traficant get's re-elected and serves from Prison.. Can you imagine the looks on the faces of the rest of the house when they cut to a live feed of him for the debate? ROFL! ROFL!!!

I would pay to see it.

[Howlin]

He voted NO?

Fred, LOOK at this!

[SevenofNine]

OHHHH really it is true Hillary Gate

YEAH I remember Garbardri from Babylon 5

OHHHH THAT IS COOL RACK ITTT

[Rebelbase]

[Fred Mertz]

Condit was the only one to vote NO. That's more than interesting.

I'm thinking that Condit was 'quietly' evicted at the ballot box, but Traficant had to be shown the door.

[harpo11]

Now he will be saying "Break me out!"

Poor fellow. I sure liked his style. I don't think he has done anything that should be considered unethical especially after the House Checking Scandals and Lord knows what else that has been going on in the so-called esteemed floor of the Senate, and while we are at it, what about the former occupant-less of the WH.

Whatever happened to "So what, everybody does it. Why can't you just move on, already?"

[Bandolier]

If they had a "no thieving bastards" rule, where no thieves, crooks, or liars could vote; it would have been
gone 0
stay 0
abstain 0

[pattycake]

I hope Traficant tells on all of them like he promised. They will be sorry. I believe him. I called my Congress Critter this morning and told them how I felt, they let bandits like Jim Moran get away with selling his votes for loans and just like Traficant said the critters that had sex with pages were not expelled and that is rape in most states because the pages were under age. Go figure. There are so many thieves up there doing way worse, the dems don't like the way he voted. I'm calling my critter again tomorrow and telling him just what I think of his gutless vote.

"Who is the punk salesman?..

That fast acting, fast talking punk from Missouri. Look out for this jerk......and he's a Republican. They're all a SHAME on this country. Tonight was nearly the same to me as when all the pieces came together over the years to illustrate that "the single bullet theory" was just more government BULL. Very sad.

These people are so awfully LOW!!! The vote was a disgrace !!! SPINELESS PUNKS......and that creep from Missouri was right up there with thew LOWEST!!! Look out for him, he's a great liar and perfect sleeze!!! He has a great future in our government of slime!!!!!!!!
