James Traficant, Ex-Con and Former Congressman, on Ballot in Ohio

i am a retiree from Packard Electric better known as Delphi in Warren, Ohio. Wonder if Gm is going to give us our good insurance back now that they are bringing in big bucks again. We worked for them for 30 yrs and gave them our time and most of us our health but they do not care about that. We do care because we are older now and need the drs and medicines that we pay for mostly out of our pockets. The generic ins is a joke. I think we deserve to be taken care of, after all didnt we take care of them thank you

GOOD! This guy was railroaded just like Blago in Chicago. He wouldn't play the game the way the others did and kiss up to the powers in charge so they ratted him out for doing the same things THEY ALL DO as a way of getting rid of him. An old Japanese saying goes: The Nail That Stands Up, Gets Hammered Down!

Where else could Traficant find medical care for life, paid for by the American taxpayers? Or a huge salary with lifetime retirement benefits? Why look for a REAL JOB when you can go on the public dole and virtually do nothing and come out with millions, book deals, speaking engagements, free travel, free postage, staff in 2-8 offices across the state and be proudly "respected" again? Hopefully the good folks in Ohio vote smarter.

I believe that once a person has been punished for their misdeeds such as he did by going to prison they have paid their debt to society and they are even on the scoreboard. However those persons have demonstrated what their true credentials are. I pity Ohio with their burden already of Boehner! That plus the fact that Kasich has a good chance to become governor after he demonstrated his lack of financial responsibility when he participated in shutting the federal government down during the Clinton administration costing the taxpayers untold millions needlessly. Trafficant should fit right in with that scheme of things.
