Frankly, I think that you can't separate people's personal lives from
the way they act publically.  Condit was a sleaze for cheating on his
wife, abusing his power to get sex (Traficant did the same thing to
get a barn built and got kicked out of congress), and then not owning
up to the truth when it became public knowledge.  His actions on his
personal issue cannot be that different from his actions as a
congressman.  If he makes poor decisions like this in his personal
life, how can we honestly expect this sleaze to make decent decisions
about running our country?  Maybe what traficant did with his personal
life is none of our business either?  Would you argue that?
 


> Traficant, from what I've read, actually did commit crimes.

As I just said, Traficant used his power to get money and a barn. 
Condit used his power to get laid.  They're both criminals and should
not be honored with the responsibility of helping run this country.

I will not take up for republicans, either.  There are crooks on both
sides of the aisle.  If Bush bailed out on his dealings with his
energy company, will he bail out on Isreal?  Our economy?  Our
protection?  Possibly.  I won't blindly defend either party.

It seems that your decision to defend and victimize Condit, while
calling Traficant a crook is OBVIOUSLY FLAWED.  Just because someone
receives money or physical items, we say he's a crook.  When they
receive sex, it's OK.  What a crock of crap.  Clinton should have been
impeached.  And every congressman who sells out the American public
for gifts or side money of influencial positions should be jailed. 
It's ruining this country.  From BOTH sides.
