I love this guy, it's a shame what they did to him. He told it like it is. I wish more congress people had the balls this guy does.

[jbranstetter04]

He is now an example for all the others to see what will happen to them if they get to far out of line, if they open up their mouths on certain topics, basically if they don't toe the line.

Was he a perfect man; no

Was he a criminal; he bent the rules

Did he deserve to go away for ten years; no

Was he railroaded for opening up his big mouth; yes

Wow! This guy is Bold - No wonder why they railroaded him and sent Him up to jail. I guess He wasn't effeminate enough for all those milquetoasts in congress.

Excellent description of the members of Congress.

The federal case against him was not allowed to be conducted in his own Congressional District, with a jury of his peers. Janet Reno really had it out for him for the things he said about her.

It seems the way things are going these days; a terrorist would get more rights than he did. Why don't we try the terrorists in the U.S. and give them a jury of their peers. Perhaps we can fly over a bunch of Middle Easterners to be in their jury.

I will vote for Traficant in a heartbeat if he runs for office after his release!

[hbcrouch]

I would never consider voting for a Democrat until I heard Traficant speak. I wished we had conservatives with these values that weren't afraid to speak out. I'd love to have the chance to vote for him.

Trafficant for UN President... let them be forced to hear some of his speeches

@harleyrebel88 I voted for your remark until I read the whole thing. I don't condone racial comments. In fact, I despise them. But, Jim Traficant would make the best president ever.

[soeasylivin]

@harleyrebel88 How do you really feel about Obama?

[harleyrebel88]

Thats VERY flattering to hear , I have yet to catch anyeone trying to tresspass on my propertry or fuck with me in any form shape or manner and I live right down the road from the housing authority,(nigger ghetto) on Lovers Ln. here in Waynesboro, GA. They know I have guns plenty of them, they know Im a damn good shot being a former sniper in the SF. S.E.A..L teams. So your not saying anything that Im not already known for.

[ChrisF116]

You want to know what I think? I think you're a psycho.

[harleyrebel88]

Well he'd be the first liberal I'd vote for and I'm sure the only liberal I'd vote for. besides anything is better than this obamination that we have in office now , dont ya think ?

[ChrisF116]

I think Traficant is pretty liberal.

[harleyrebel88]
