I believe that what FINISHED the Traficant circus was the overwhelming vote of the House last night to expel the jerk back to whatever cave he crawled out of. The basis for that expulsion was a gross violation of House rules on taking bribes, obstruction of justice, and misuse of his office.
This guy belongs behind bars, either serving time or serving drinks. He has no place on the United States Congress, and Republicans who support him with one breath cannot lay claim to any moral high ground with the next.
It's doesn't say much about a person if they enforce the law when it's to their advantage. But if they stand by that law when it's to their DISadvantage, then you know they are bound by principle, not expediency.
Where's the evidence???? Open your eyes. Traficant crossed Reno. Haven't we learned that no one crosses Clinton/Reno and lives to tell about it? What about Jesse Jackson--why isn't the IRS going after that f$#4ing criminal????? Congress? Moral high ground? Ha! They are all criminals. Screw the gov't. I say a vote against Traficant should be a vote against them.
Jack, I sure wish i could agree with you, but I don't.
