Certainly Barn has no scandals that he could be thrashed about the ears with.

Imagine Frank being interviewed by Chris Mathews. You would need some Gallagher-type audience protection for everybody.

Barney, is Fannie Mae still a good investment?

LOL

How dare Frank call Gingrich ‘a bum’. This great American, Newt Gingrich, loves this country so much it destroyed his first 2 marriages. His love of liberty distracted him from keeping his marriages stable, caused him to neglect wife #1 and wife # 2 to begin an affair with wife # 3.. Barney Frank has some nerve attacking this patriot and hopefully our next President and First Lady. Callista Gingrich will be a great first lady and will make this nation proud again.

Great job by Rep. Frank.

I gave Newt 3 weeks on the top of the field, I think I was wrong. He will be lucky to last two weeks.

Bawnee Fwank calling anybody a liar……boy thats rich

Pointless, GD: Frank is a lock to win his seat again, and you are going to be forced to listen to him for years to come.

But you seem to have no issue with the damage that Barney Frank has done to this Country?  Amazing!

The best line I’ve heard on this is from the Krugthulu: people have trouble keeping these two truths straight in their heads -

1) the two FMs have been routinely deeply corrupted by Wall Street and Congress for decades, and
2) that corruption did not cause the Great Recession, Wall Streets corruption of Congress caused the Great Recession.

Next: the campaign to BLAME the FMs will continue, because everyone loves to scape goat, but it will NOT result in the FMs being taken down. The FMs are the ONLY thing standing in the way of Wall Street going down in a nanosecond. If you take down the FMs, then the merchant banksters are going to be forced to write down their risk on CDSs and derivates; simple as that. And if they are forced to do that, they are immediately exposed as insolvent by a total exposure of about $70 trillion in leveraged debt. The entire US economy is worth less than $15 trillion on an annualized basis, so that’s almost FIVE TIMES what the US could repay over any one year, and almost ALL it could repay over five years – while everyone dies in their homes, apartments, dumpsters, streets and forests of starvation. Take down the FMs and over night we are Cambodia under Pol Pot.

Dear GOP: 

Please, sweet GOP, nominate Newtie. 

Thanks.

P.S. Plus a pink candy-floss pony for Xmas.

I understand but disagree. What the reluctance of the GOP base to give up on Creepy proves is that there is a LOT of tolerance there for all manner of fatal flaws, in the fissure between Mittens and Not Mittens.

People want quick fixes; there is no quick fix here. This one goes right down to a brokered convention in August 2012 in Miami – an uglier, by FAR uglier, replay of San Francisco 1964.

Again: read Rick Perlstein’s great book on that.

What damage has he done? The only damage perceptible here is that in your brain.

I give him one. Bachmann already tore him a new asshole in an ad about a day or two ago.

This is rich, Barney Frank calling anyone a lair, just a review here for anyone who does not know how much integrity Barney Frank does not have.

Reasoning off evidence actually might convince the undecided more than cheap shots. It’s not as if Frank is a closet case; he is OUT there with the wife-husband thing.

I’m sure Barnyard Frank & Martin kissed passionately at the end.

Or something.

Bawney knows a thing or two about Fanny!

Democrats never take responsibility for their actions (see, Obama).

There are numerous videos showing different people from a variety of backgrounds imploring this blowhard to stop giving away ”zero-requirement” mortgages.

Most were going to Democratic constituents, so Frank kept the taxpayer gravy train going – because that’s what Democrats do - THEY BUY VOTES WITH YOUR MONEY!

if they did–they would not have to do it in the airport bathrooms like our good family values conservatives…
liberals kind of like all people to have the right to love who they wish…
as long as it is legal and consentual of course—(we know how cons like that forces love thing)

Slime lizard Gingrich sould go crawl back under a rock like a good Newt!

For those still in denial over the Democratic ownership of the mainstream media narrative:

Corzine (ex-Dem Governor/Senator) scandal coverage:
1000 jobs lost.

NBC – 4 stories

CBS – 2 Stories

ABC 0 1 Story

Compare this to the (GOP smear) coverage by the mainstreams.
Ironically, as well, is the fact Newt’s advice was the same as that given to Frank!

Wait, a lobbyist AND a liar?  Next thing you know, Frank will call him a philanderer and adulterer and just plain mean.  I won’t stand for it!  The Little Bully that Could desrves better!
http://brettcottrell.blogspot.com/2011/11/little-bully-that-could.html

In todays election cycle Newt has so many daming things against him, I do not think he will last very long. Cain and Perry both dropped fairly quickly and there is a mountain of Newt problems for everyone to view.

The Newtser is just the flavor of the month as Cain would say, but once they start looking at his endless list of ethics violations and numerous affairs the Republicans will run back to Romney again.  

The Gop has a ABR Problem -(Anyone But Romney)

Look, a talking hemmoroid.

The very fact that a lispy queen like Barney Frank gets elected to any office in this country is actually quite nauseating. His sickening presence makes me want to vomit, and the people who vote for him make me want to punch a kitten.

Ya, is that so Barney? Well, your a “fruitcake” Barney.

Wipe your chin.

I’m still waiting to hear him say sufferin succotas!!

Barney should be sharing a prison cell with Chris Dodd!!

Democrats have been EMBEZZLING money from Fannie & Freddie for years!

Gorelick (Clinton Adm.) - $90 million
Raines – (Clinton Adm.) – $30 million

Results? – $170 Billion debt.

Then, $170 Billion in debt, and they ask Barney Frank to write the Finance Bill!
It’s bad enough they’re so CORRUPT, but throw in incompetence, and you’ll understand why we’re in a world of hurt.

They should have listened to Newt’s advice, not Frank’s!

Oh good God!  If there is any ONE person who holds the most responsibility for the housing crisis it’s good old Barney.  Are you that blindly partisan that you can’t even admit that?

Liberals like all people………..as long as they agree with them!

Someone dropped a turd…oops, it was Ex!!!!

Why do you feel the need to share this.  It sounds like a personal problem.

The problem is Democrats using FM as a political Slush Fund!

Frank was told over and over – on tape! – not to lower the qualifications…but hey, it’s Taxpayer Money he needed to buy votes for The Party with, so he did what any other Democrat would do, he screwed the taxpayers!

But the fact that some people are so mind-numbed dumb to support him.  His problems have been there for the world to see for DECADES!  To them, this is the new kid in town.

Barney where’s your boy friend? Ask him to help you put a cork in it cause you talk to much.

There is one “L” word that applies to Barney and it ain’t “lesbian”.

When Barney Fwank farts it is a thunderous noise because he rear end is so bored out, it probably looks like one of those German ’88 cannon muzzles.

Barney Fwank = another sick homosexual that God is shaking his head about.

I agree with him.  Barney Fwank makes people want to vomit.

He’ll be dropping the soap left and right intentionaly.

The idiots that vote for people like Barney Frank need their heads examined.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKaXpc57uGM

How is one congressman out of 435 in the lower house of Congress responsible for the housing crisis? The dude was not even in the majority till 2007. Are you really an idiot? Your accusation has no merit. Shut up. 

According to Barack Obama yesterday, Hawaii is part of Asia.

Do you always make fun of people with speech inpediments?
You must feel superior!

You wnt to make a good investment stonepark?
Go see and invest in Dr.Jack Kevorkian.

So let’s assume that to be true, Nobits – despite that the actual EVIDENCE is that its Rs in Congress who are using the FMs as cash machines; but forget that actual evidence for a moment – just assume you are right.

So freakin’ what. This is not the problem, not the one that’s taking down the country. YOU aren’t making one thin dime off the FMs either way; whether it’s Ds or Rs or both Ds and Rs, you Nobits get bupkiss from all that.

How does that make you feel, Nobits? Does it make you upset at ALL the Congress critters using the FMs are cash machines, or at Wall Street which encourages that, or what – JUST the Ds?

Because if so, then that’s just nuts, Nobits. You gain nothing from cheerleading one way or the other. So you might want to ask yourself: Why am I, Nobits, so emotionally invested in something that means NOTHING to me? What is WRONG with me?

But again, let’s leave that aside too: let’s assume, again, just to keep you from jumping off an emotional cliff, that the Ds are looting the FMs, by themselves, no Rs involved. Now, you want the Ds to stop that, but you want it in a specific way: you want the FMs done away with.

So, this is what we know: this is the consensus, from every expert, from every pol, from every Wall Street banker, from every hedge fund operator, from every economics expert, fresh water or salt water – every single one of them:

The merchant banks are leveraged to some quite ridiculous and dangerous multiple of their own value – hell, their own value PLUS what they hold in trust for customers, or are supposed to (MFGlobal and all that). We’re talking not 30 to one, but something more like 50 to one. That, by the way, is what gets us to the bets on both sides of the derivatives and CDS – that $70 trillion risk that the banks are sitting on. 

Now, given the CDS are all interbank bets, that really doesn’t address the problem. So what if the Vampire Squid Goldman Sachs has 200 billion in bets and 200 billion in CDS hedging them, because someone is on the hook for that hedge, and they – I think we all know we’re talking Bank of America here, mostly – cannot pay off for having insured to that level. They can’t – they don’t have the value. 

So what that MEANS is that the Squid does NOT have a balanced sheet – that in fact its bets are really NAKED bets; if they lose, THEY lose, and they go under.

Now, who right now has the primary paper on all that debt? The FMs have it. That means WE have it, Nobits, you and I have it: WE insure the Squid against BoA defaulting.

But I know you don’t like that, Nobits, so let’s go your idea, cut out the FMs right now, for the reasons you want, to stop the hated Ds from using it as a cash machine – apart from that being no more true for Ds than Rs, but then I have granted you that for this thought experiment.

If we cut off the FMs now, right now, what do you think happens to the Squid? The Squid has no choice but to demand the CDS be paid off on, the ones for which BoA is on the hook. But, BoA has not got the assets to pay off, BoA will default – and then the Squid dies immediately, starved of money oxygen right there. So what? Another TARP, Nobits? That would mean, to get rid of the $70 trillion in previously unrealized risk, the Fed would have to back the banks to tune of almost FIVE TIMES the current value of the US of A. FIVE TIMES in one fell swoop. 

We have not had inflation for years and years now. We’ve had DEFLATION for several years, now. You want to shut down the FMs, that means 500% hyperinflation OVER NIGHT.

So to stop Frank and some other Ds using the FMs as a cash withdrawal machine, your premise not mine, you would cause hyperinflation. That would mean not socialism, FORGET socialism, that would mean an overnight police state, which practically every American stuck in a jail with nothing to eat, a nation of 320 million starving all together at the same time.

Mr. Frank?  That lowlife asshole?  Mr. my sorry butt.  
He’s a liar and a fake and slime.  

O’Reilly called him on it and he didn’t like it one bit.  He lied and then he lied and then he lied again.  

“How do you say delicious in Cuban?”-Newt Gingrich (today in Florida),
What a dumbass!

either that or we do something right.

God shakes his head?
Wow, Tell me more!

I guess all the People in Southeast Massachucetts are all idiots.
You should move there and join them.

Just crooks that run illegal gay brothels and are directly connected to the collapse of the housing market that sent this Country into downward spiral!!

That’s a weird construction “If there is any ONE person who holds the most responsibility”; it’s like, yes, the responsiblity is shared by many, but Frank is the most of the many. So, that could mean 0.02 % is the biggest single share of the responsibility, because no other individual bears that much, no other is more than 0.019 % responsible. Pretty pointless scape goat you have there, BR. Better roast Frank at the stake, so all will be better. Yeah, that would do it.

We used to do that, not just in Ye Olde Countrye but here: burn people at the stake to make ourselves feel better. They’d would cry out and sizzle and fry and all their body parts would melt down and the moisture would evaporate and everything would be turned to ashes. Good times. Helped immeasurably to secure permanent economic security, too.

You must be a Democrat.

It was CAIN!

eeewwwww!!!

Yep, You’re a Republican all right!

Yeah, I hear you; but they been lubbin’ their little Newtie for decades now, so there’s a lot of tolerance built up. I certainly don’t claim to understand or relate to how they tolerate him, but then I’m not an authoritarian, I cannot think like that. I mean, if it was me, I’d have dumped Creepy from the get-go. So, obviously I, and I think also you, don’t quite see it the way they do, and that means Newtie could well be in it for the long haul.

The homphobia and scapegoating from you rightwingers is really laughable and pathetic. Frank had a marginal role in the financial crash. It really was the financial institutions who forced the removal of all consumer protections and then proceeded to churn out mortgagaes for all and sundry. Frank is really a very smart guy who has actually tried to protect us from the excesses of Wall Street. I really think Steve Jobs had a profound commentary about rightwingers when he told Rupert Murdoch that Murdoch’s life and work was a mistake because he was basically a destructive person. Since most rightwingers are followers of Murdoch, I would say it’s a safe assumption to call you all a bunch of negative, nihilistic (look it up) destructive fools.

This is epic. Coming from a man whose boyfriend ran an escort service out of his apartment in D.C.. a boyfriend who grew weed in his back yard while Barnet was livibg there, and has an relationship with a man who is employed by Fannie Mae.

Maybe it’s the 57th State he was talking about.

The mainstream media covered that up because it conflicts with the intelligent image they’ve manufactured for Obama.

Newt will CRUSH him in any debate, that’s why he’s asked the intellectual fraud for Lincoln-Douglass-style encounters.

Wow, Bachmann going after Newt; how can he POSSIBLY survive THAT?!

I don’t agree, but so what – assume you’re right: where does get you?

MY BAD!! WRONG IDIOT!
OK, Cain is a DUMBASS1

Considering Barney Frank played a direct role in causing the housing crisis and downfall of our economy, I don’t think anyone should give this man respect. He’s the definition of corrupt politician. 

I love Nobits when he’s like this, out there on his lawn, yelling at the hippies.

Barney Frank now there’s a guy who is credible.

I’m sure you would like to watch.
Because that thought never crossed my mind until you mentined it!

Nobits, as I have pointed out before MFGlobal is a story waiting to be told, and a critical part of that story is to be told by the federal audit and by the courts. The audit takes time – tracing funds is not a hit-the-button thing. We hear rumors of MFGlobal reps saying they don’t even know where the money went, which I frankly don’t give much weight to, but that’s not easily refuted in these days of overnight trades in the billions all done through computer programs. We read stories of the Vampire Squid having technically but not actually advanced funds or “funds”, since they are just book entries, to MFGlobal AFTER the problem cropped up, just to gain priority over other claimants in the bankruptcy – like, for example US TAXPAYERS. But the arguments have yet to be made before the presiding judge and the ruling is off in the distance by weeks, months or more, so … where exactly do the stories come from – ranting in thin air?

The concern right now is said to be that MFGlobal was the latest canary in the coal mine, that a number of the merchant bankster pirate ships sailing on Wall Street are deeply exposed on Euro debt. But both the audit and the court proceedings are where the real action is right now, not in ranting on TV or in ignorant columns and posts. 

You just made me vomit.

Good God, how partisan can you get?

In the 1970s, activists declared that banks were racist because they wouldn’t lend to minority and low-income citizens. The banks wouldn’t not lend to them because of their race, they wouldn’t lend to them because they had bad credit.
Fast forward to the 2000s and the ‘Community Reinvestment Act’ which, through HUD, re-initiated this practice and said banks HAD to lend to minorities and poor people who had bad credit and low chances of paying back the loans. Frank (head of the financial services committee) supported this government intervention (which replaced good business practice with affirmative-action) and, as we all know, led to the housing bubble.
Frank, while supporting this government intervention, told America TO OUR FACES that these loans were secure and that they were good investments. Mere MONTHS later, the economy fell in shambles.
Yes, Frank was one member of 435, but he had SO MUCH power when it came to bank regulation and he let the American people down.
Really, stop being so blind.

You’re fine with legal non gay brothels?

(R)egressives and their homophobic issues.
Sheesh

Gorelick ? Raines? Jamie of the NSA? Tim of the basepaths?

Linkies, Nobits; remember the linkies, or someone will think you’re a lawn ornament.

(And actually, if you were right about that $170 billion, and you’re not, it’s WAY bigger in real terms, I for one would be thrilled. That figure is speculative and nominal. The real exposure is financial cumulative: $70 trillion – over 4000 times $170 billion. Hey, if the problem were just a lousy $170 billion, 5 minutes work at the Fed would fix it.

When will you realize that the majority of Americans do not look at candidates on a superficial basis like you liberals? Most people will not care about Newts divorces and this ‘lobbying’ story is going to be a non-story soon – bet on it.

The American people will look at Obama’s record on the economy and then compare it to the GOPs ideas. If 2010 elections were any pre-cursor that Americans wanted change, you can bet the same will happen in ’12

To his Constituents!
He keeps getting reelected over and over again

Great job destroying the economy by Rep. Frank*

Now that sentence is complete. 

You are…disturbed.

Commenting on the 2008 housing crisis Frank said

“The private sector got us into this mess, we need the government to get us out”

The worst 9 words are “i’m from the government and i’m here to help”

Asia-Pacific or APAC is the area generally regarded as encompassing littoral East Asia, Southeast Asia and Australasia near the Pacific Ocean, plus the states in the ocean itself ( Oceania).

Yeah, he did it for the money

Care to give the timetable for those story tallies, so we could get some context?  And what scandal are you talking about?  Poor job performance does not equal scandal.  1000 jobs lost?  Over the course of what period of time?  Jon Corzine is a state politician-turned-failed-investor.  How would this be newsworthy? 

*Puts on Norbit mask*

ANSWER MY QUESTIONS!!

But you repeat yourself.

Anyway Nobits, I’ve been meaning to ask what exactly you think Gingrich did to get that $1.6 million from Fannie. 

Did he provide some “historical advice”, as he claimed on the GOP Game Show?

Did he provide some “strategic advice”, like his spokesman said today, but a Fannie spokes denied?

Did he tickle her bits?

Or … is it at least POSSIBLE that Barney Frank may be right – that Newt, then the most recently ‘retired’ Speaker, acted for Fannie as a lobbyist, lobbying Congress for more money and more power?

What’s your guess, Nobits?

(This should be good …)

Well, we dealt with that yesterday, right here at Mediaite. So, all this tells us is how winger memes work like termites, against all evidence, burrowing burrowing in.

What he said was that Hawaii was part of the Asian-Pacific economic zone. It’s in the transcript. He spoke  to it at length. So, you maybe missed yesterday, or you just took Breitbart’s word for it. But, fortunately, IF you wish to check, the talk and the press conference are both available for you see listen to, all over the internet, including YouTube. 

Winger memes never sleep.

And then there’s this (23 mins ago): 

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203503204577040472772072092.html

Because he resides over an incredibly liberal district made up of rich ivy league liberals. He has the money and name recognition to keep getting elected. Its definitely not because of his track record. 

LOL….nothing brings out Republiscum bigotry like a Barney Frank thread.

Usually you have to pay a visit to the Blaze to get this level of fundie hate.

Well, it also includes the west coast of the continental US in terms of that region being involved in the Asia-Pacific economic zone. What you’re providing is more of geographer’s view; what Obama was talking about was US interests in the economic zone. Apples to hog futures, I’d say. 

This is not tough, people. You don’t need to act like soggy used napkins on this. Check it out; check out the remarks, the questions, the answers; they are all out there, free of charge. No need to take Breitbart’s distortions as your own.

(Man, does THAT guy ever have issues.)

I love it when Nobits gets one right: No no, you idiot, the moron in question wasn’t Gingrich, the moron in question was Creepy!

Anyone else guess the official language of Cuba is, uh, Spanish? Cuban itself, that’s a new one on me.

Plus, if I’m not mistaken, this is like cricket scoring, and so with that gaffe by Cain, the GOP has clinched the match for the Dumbass Cup for 2012 – and it’s still only November 2011? This is of course also a new world and indeed universe record.

BigFagDave is a huge fan of Barney’s as they have much in common.

It is probably said the same way in Austrian.

That would be news to the people of the cities of New Bedford and Fall River!

No… But I do make fun of people whO prostitute young boys.

That says a lot about the people of Mass.

This is what I love about the Republican Party.  Their hypocrisy has no bounds..  

Ok, pull out some red herrings to prove your point. If it makes you feel better.

75% of Franks district are white collar workers. Thats bankers, lawyers, businessmen etc. AKA – thats who donates significant amounts to campaigns. 

I like his boyfriend staking his apponents. That’s classy.

You’re really gonna bring up line in a thread with Frank who sold young boys?

Bernie M. is a piker compared to Barney F. 

Has anyone in the history of the world caused the destruction of more wealth than Barney Frank?  He worked tirelessly to turn the home mortgage into a welfare entitlement, and thus played the biggest role in the mortgage meltdown of 2008 — and we still live with the consequences.  

Frank was Penn State before Penn State.

75% of the People of Fall River and New Bedford (the two largest cities in Frank’s district) are white collar workers?
You have no Idea what you are talking about!

I would find it hard to believe any district in the US has a 75% white collar worker majority.

Or Goldline….

Just about 75% of Franks district are white collar workers. Go look up the statistics. 

Just because you don’t want to believe doesn’t mean its not true. 20% of his district have master degrees. Look up the stats before blindly refuting my points just because it doesn’t fit your narrative

I know I am hearing a Rush Limpdick Dildo-head when someone blames Barney Frank for the mortgage crisis.

Lehman, Bear, Merrill and 100s others would be surprised to know Barney did them in.  And the CRA?  don’t make me laugh.  No bank was ever FORCED to make a loan.

Gingrich was paid $1.6M to lobby build relationships with Republican members of congress. Does he get a pass?

Moron, Barney Frank was in the minority party from 1995 until 2007.

If Barney Frank were not gay, it would be impossible to convince the simpletons that he somehow had something to do with the economy that the Republicans destroyed.

Similarly, if Obama were not black, it would be impossible to convince the simpletons that he’s somehow a socialist.

Republican politics is all about hate.  Without hate, the Republican Party literally doesn’t exist.

Doesn’t seem like a lie to me.  Just because you don’t believe it, doesn’t make it a lie.  

It doesn’t get me anything, he is one of many who needs to go…  It amazes me for all of the supposed intellect of the left that you will defend to the death people like Frank, I am sure that you have seen his Youtube videos, these are not the best examples of Barney’s lies, but they directly contradict what he said in the video attached to this article.  

Hey, I am for getting rid of all of them, Boehner, Pelosi, Frank, and all the rest.  You guys really think that the leadership of both parties are not responsible for getting us to this place, are you so deluded by the rhetoric that you believe that your side is any less unclean?  How naive can you be?  You guys will fight to the death for the honor of thieves, it is really just amazing, because if you would stop hating the R’s so much and take an objective look at politics you would be saying worse things about these people than I do…  You can see the forest through the trees, you are too busy defending talking points, how foolish we are, both sides.  

You are a smart guy Rex, a wordsmith such as yourself must have some intellect, use it!

Project much.  I don’t see Democrats going around calling everyone that disagrees within the party, a dino.  I do hear Republicans calling every moderate within their party a Rino.  

LINK?

If your writing right wing fiction that line is key.

I thought that was Rush while in Hati?

Kim Jong Trevor is filled with hatred towards America and go back home.

RyGuy2012, you are calling me a partisan, while making a partisan argument. How typical! Your argument is as illogical as the prior one. Let me agree with your premise for a second (hypothetically)  that F&F was responsible for the housing mess, by the way, another partisan assessment…sigh..are you keeping track? Why did the GOP not do anything substantial about it during the zenith of that crisis? Bernie was not the head of the financial services committee (you lie!) during the majority of that “problem” period. His power was pretty much checked as a ranking member. (Do you really think for example Elijah Cummings is as powerful as Darrell Issa?) Barney was in the damn minority party. The chairman and the majority of the members in that committee were Republicans. With a Republican potus, they could have passed anything they wanted. These are simple facts that you can verify. To put blame on Frank and Frank alone is being duplicitous and partisan. Doing so would be claiming Barney was more powerful than Republican house members in both houses and Pres. Bush. Quite the idiotic theory. Address my critique and stop lighting strawmen. [I never said Barney bares no responsibility at all. I'm disabusing the asinine accusation that he was solely responsible for it as posited by your fellow dogmatic loon.]

Yell at me NORB!
I’m a Liberal Hippie!

Which has something to do with nothing.

To you…

Maybe they did that together…

I’m not willing to put the blame fully on one institution. The private sector had a hand in causing the crisis as did the Federal government. For Frank to say that the government is completely innocent and that we NEED the federal gov’t to get us out of this mess is completely dishonest. 

~70% of his district are white collar. Median income is ~$66 thousand – sounds pretty wealthy to me http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massachusetts’s_4th_congressional_district

~18% have masters degrees (look at District Demographics on top right of page) http://thatsmycongress.com/house/repFrankMA4111.html

OK
That’s funny;)

It’s hard to keep track of which candidate is making a joke of the GOP on a daily basis.
But still, Score 1 point for you NORBY It was Cain!!!
I think they are making gaffes to give cover to one another.

you stand behind that statement or under it?  lol

You really are a foolish foolish man.  I would imagine money and you have parted a long time ago.  

Oh shut the hell up, wittle bittie Bwwwwarney Fwwwwrank. And take that thing out of your mouth…nobody can understand a word you say.

prove it.

Barney has done more shady, semi criminal acts during his “illustrious” career than the Barkers.  

LOLOL, nice description of your goofy DummyCrap party. You gals are so damn funny. Keep it up….we need some laffs after what oBUMbler and Puuuuelosi and Zzzzzzzzzzzreid have done to America the past 3 years. See ya around the block, kiddo.

District DemographicsU.S. Census data put Representative Frank’s
record in the context of the people who he represents. Massachusetts District 4
is 88.24 percent urban, 8.55 percent non-white, and has a population that is
3.28 percent Latino and 12.88 percent foreign-born. 11.45 percent of adults
working in Rep. Frank’s district commute using public transportation, on a bike
or on foot. 17.46 percent of adults aged 25 and older in Frank’s district have a
Master’s, PhD or Professional Degree.

from your link!,,,,,17.46 percent of adults aged 25 and older in Frank’s district have a Master’s, PhD or Professional Degree……. Does not mean these people even work never mind it is not even near 70%

Btw-Define wealthy.

That will be easy to prove. I’ll start with Jack Abramoff and Tom DeLay. Next.  I guarantee you there will be at least twice if not three times the amount of Republicans that went to jail than Democrats. And I’ll come back with the numbers that I proved it. Respectfully, next time always think before you talk.

The hypocrisy that comes from the right is why Obama will win re-election. The Dems could spend an hour on an ad showing the hypocrisy and another hour just on Romney alone changing his positions on issues.

Look at the first link I provided. It says that roughly 70% of his district are white collar workers. I can’t believe I’m having to spell this out for you so slowly. Read more CAREFULLY! 

Wealthy is anyone who uses their creativity, talents, skills and willpower to be self-reliant & create a self-sustaining living for them and their family. Because we all have the power to be wealthy if we just use our talents and abilities and have a positive mindset. 
 I don’t try and set a bar that determines Rich-ness like Obama does. (Anyone over $250,000 needs to be taxed higher).

And why is it every or almost every Republican against any type of campaign reform?  Pretty simple.

She basically pulled the pin and tossed the grenade into the GOP tent with that ad. Guffaw.

Really? You are conflating homosexuality with pedophilia? I thought you were a reasonable dude.

Come o Kim Bong idiot surely you can make more sense than this! Try it one more time.

“You shall know them by their fruits” 

You are ignored so much that you answer yourself now! Seek help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

…and you as the Mayor of Cornfield, would know a thing or two about cornholes?

Republicants never take responsibility for their actions, they blame Democrats.

No. I’m compairig selling young boys for cash with pedophilia.

PS: My brothers gay so dont go there.

The theory is that authoritarians don’t question the authority of their leaders and tend to do as they are told in an almost puzzling submissive manner. It certainly seems to be in play here, despite his rather checkered past.  I have to give Gringrich credit, his actions suggest he is well aware of and even counting on it.  He’s spent a lifetime learning to gauge what he can and cannot get away with and it’s my sense he’s gotten very good at it.

…and when did Barney Frank do that?

So Newt’s serial infidelity is “superficial” and most Americans don’t care about it? Seems like good ol’ Newt cared about it awful lot when he was spearheading the Clinton impeachment hearings:

This clown gives new meaning to the word hypocrite.

Freddie Mac’s internal records show that 11.7 million dollars were paid to 52 outside lobbyists and consultants in 2006, they were all former Republicans and ex-GOP staffers. In addition to Gingrich other prominent names included were Vin Weber, Alfonse D’Amato, and Susan Hirschmann, who was chief-of-staff for former house speaker Tom DeLay.  Apparently, not just Democrats.

http://www.mail.com/news/us/847226-gingrich-defends-big-contracts-with-freddie-mac.html

Or about Neo Black Panthers screaming about killing white babies on streetcorners.  I’m still waiting on a link for that one.

According to three presidential wannabes he’s also spoken to them personally.  One compares himself with Moses.  If you stated that on an MMPI (psch test) it would raise a few eyebrows and in all likelyhood you probably would’nt get the job.

You want me to think and yet you don’t practice that fine art?  Hmmm, you’re full of it there sweet stuff.  Barney is a lying, thieving jerk who got called out and handled it like a lying thieving jerk who got called out.  

The lisping fool got re-elected.  Only the democrats would do something so completely moronic and think they have an ounce of sense.  

You are trying to prove your bias by going to factleft? lol  Stupidity noted.  

I am a gay, black, socialist, simpleton and when I’m at a party I hate you! LIBERAL LOGIC

Does Barney’s Frank sympathize with Sandusky? Why not?

(Listen to the liberals’ scatter like frightened little girls.)

there logic only makes sence when agree with them otherwise its a death sentense

Peanuts. Spare change. That’s what the Kochies & Wall Street spent to corrupt Congress, and that’s what they’re spending now to keep themselves in a regulation-free zone where they feed on US government bond finnagles (where the government sells the bonds and Wall Street buys them and they Wall Street lends the government money back to operate, but with a viggorish attached that covers the cost of bonds Wall Street bought plus the profit margin to Wall Street). Peanuts. 

The Kochies told POLITICO they’ve already committed to spend $200 million plus on this upcoming election. They don’t pay taxes, so we’re not talking “after tax dollars”, and worse, much of those expenditures they get to deduct from net revenues, so WE are actually the ones paying for the Kochies to buy the election. But even if it cost them, out of their own pockets, with a total $50 billion net worth, it’s costing them 0.004, or 0.4%. Say you make $60,000 after all taxes; that’s like you going out and buying one iPad, and donating it to your favorite politician, who because of that little gift you now OWN. You phone, he answers; you want a grant to think about starting a business or a nonprofit, he gets you the grant that pays for the entire development costs; you want more tax deductions, he gets them for you. You OWN that pol, for the cost of an iPad. Sheesh, the special approvals alone make it just stupid not to do it.

Now, what your Congress critters get out of campaign donations has to be spent on campaigns. It’s not their money, it’s us paying for their campaigns, yes, but they can’t spend it on themselves (unless they game the system, like it appears Newt has been doing, his campaign mysteriously charging out half a million to buy a $10,000 off the shelf website). They CAN keep the money, or some of it, if they retire, but retire means retire. But the RATE at which these campaign donations get raked in, PER CANDIDATE, is affected by the fact that there’s 34 Senators to be elected and 437 House Reps plus a president, so just in the General Election that all gets spread among 1,076 candidates, more or less, likely more with independents, but just take that 1,076, which is way low, and figure a total of $3 billion spent on all federal campaigns total, which we know is too high even with the inflation from Citizens United. That means an average of about $2.8 million per seated bum. That is peanuts for a billionaire to pay to buy a pol; the billionaire retrieves his investment in the just the first quarter of the first term, so it costs him nothing, and the rest is gravy for the billionaire.

Now – here is reality: people hate Congress, but they love their own Congress critter. Every poll shows that. It’s why the incumbency victory rate is so high in Congress. So, Throw All The Bums out SOUNDS great, but does not work. It. Will. Not. Happen.

If you want to starve the beast, you need to get a handle on Wall Street, how they buy pols. 

Barney Fudd talking trash? Guess he’s in his native element…At least he’s no Bum of the Month. He’s Bum of the House–for life! Thanks, Massivenuisance.

NOBODY, NOBODY has been bought and paid for more than Barney Frank.  His lack of ability to keep his mouth shut while living in a glass house just solidifys the impretion he’s an intellectual midget.  Why anyone gives him airtime baffles me.

Because he’s a Democrat, and most of the mainstream American media will calculatingly use their news and information forums to promote that party and its interests.  

nope, facts which you wanted me to prove. I did nand you don’t like it.Just some advice, learn the facts before you ask someone to prove them. It’s ok.

What ever Barney did or didn’t  do three times as many Repubs went to the hoosegow for similar corruption charges. And there were alot more sites that also had the same info. You don’t like the facts you asked me to prove so now you try to nit pick and ignore it.  That’s a typical Sean Hannity tactic but the problem is we are not on Hannity’s show. It is what it is. Just next time always know the facts before daring someone. That’s all.

Ok. Tomorrow I will find at least 20 totally independent sites verifying the exact same thing. That site came up first when I googled “Democrat vs Republican” + corruption. Are you sure you want me to prove that or are you just going accept that fact?

 mistake. I will list at least 20 totally non-partison independent with the exact same facts. Hey, it is what it is. You can’t sugercoat it. Sorry.

You get an A+ in name caling, but how do you respond to what he said ? Fannie and Freddie did not originate the bad loans. As far as I know this is true. Do you have anything besides hearsay to back up your claim that he lied about this or anything else ?

Really ? Frank is bad because educated people like him ? That;’s all you got ?

Talk about the pot and the fuckin’ kettle!

To be fair, maybe a lot of people think he’s the best bad choice. Looking at the candidates, it would appear the repubs brought a lot of volkwagons to the indy 500.

The board cashed in.You can’t loose when it’s private profit with public risk. For public investors, maybe not so good. They were forced to take on a lot of bad loans that they did not originate. Fannie and Freddi were almost unique in that they serviced all the loans they made. They didn’t bundle them and sell them off.

We’re not going to let a little thing like FACTS get in the way of our BF Hatefest !

Name one lie

Barney Frank is the definitive liar…can you google “Barney Frank and call boy ring”?

Barney Boop is Fannie and Freddie’s b-boy in Congress.  He’s been lying for them for the last 20 years.

I was saying that the reason he keeps getting elected is because he has a very rich liberal following in his district. 

Sigh. Barney Frank was certified “UNETHICAL” by the House Ethics Committee in the 80′s. We all know he helped push the housing market to the brink and lies every single time he denies it. He’s a fat slob who is just an awful spokesperson for liberalism. I’ll say it again, these Dems get a pass from the media all day long. There will never be a republican Robert Byrd, a Republican Ted Kennedy, a Republican Bill Clinton, a Republican Barney Frank, a Republican John Murtha…..The Media simply wouldn’t allow it. Nor should they. But I guess when u support gay marriage and abortion and taxing the wealthy, you can leave a girl to drown in a sinking car you drove into the lake, you can have a gay prostitution business in your basement, you can join the KKK as an adult and be VOTED into the senate leadership over and over again. Barney Frank, go away! You’re sick. And a liar!

So Rex, Just what oath did the Koches and Wall Street swear to the constitution?

Can you imagine how foul that man’s breath smells?

Barney Frank is one of the smartest on the Hill & funny!
I love him! 
 I’m a hetrosexual woman with a sense of humor & appreciate brains & humor.

I bet it smells like ass.

Frank & Dodd need to be in jail

 WOW!!!
Haven’t heard any Barney-farts in a while.
I wonder who removed his butt plug

hey barney, how many millions have you made off of insider trading while being the head of the House Financial Services Committee.  You and all of the rest are such felons.

Wow….  We really do live in some sad times when simply telling the truth is viewed as talking trash.  Barney Franks was absolutely correct in everything he said about Newt Gingrich.  But people have to remember that those who would support someone like Newt are the kind of people do not care how corrupt the people are whom they vote for.  That is your typical republican.

what a hypocrite…..  can not believe people vote for this turd

Barney Frank (no “s” at the end of his name) has no credibility whatsoever. He is at the heart of the derivatives and housing market scandals, and one of the authors of the untimely demise of the economy by pushing the bad and high risk loans that Fanny and Freddie made to people who didn’t have the finances to buy a home in the first place.

He is a liar and a lobbyist.

You know what I hate, Trevor? I hate sniveling liars and boneheaded fools like you who can’t find their own ass in the dark with both hands. Absolutely none of what you said here makes any sense, but don’t let that stop you from making a total idiot of yourself here in a public forum.

Some people rather enjoy the show. Personally, I’d rather hit the wall with my fist than see another of your insipid and incorrect assumption filled posts.

You bore and disgust me at the same time. That is not hate, it is a total lack of regard of any kind for you.

Have a life, just do it somewhere else until you can make a positive contribution.

“I know I am hearing a Rush ******************* when someone blames Barney Frank for the mortgage crisis.”

Then you don’t know very much because every bit of it is TRUE. Look it up.

Lets see the democrat criminal list too.

Rehashing someone else’s link shows you possess little in the way of intellect and skill.

No, you provided a URL that someone listed before you and it is not from an independent or unbiased source, so you practically did absolutely nothing.

Your skills in this area are thin.

Replying to yourself is also the mark of low intelligence.

You are not correct. Follow along with the narrative of scandals and crimes associated with just one Democrat president, Bill Clinton, and one Republican president, Ronald Reagan – if you can.

The Clintons, to adapt
a line from Dr. Johnson, were not only corrupt, they were the
cause of corruption in others. Yet seldom in America have so
many come to excuse so much mendacity and malfeasance as during
the Clinton years. Here are some of the facts that have been
buried.

RECORDS SET

– The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance

– Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and
associates*
– Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation

– Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify

– Most number of witnesses to die suddenly
– First president sued for sexual harassment.
– Second president accused of rape**
– First first lady to come under criminal investigation
– Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign contribution
case
– First president to establish a legal defense fund.
– First president to be held in contempt of court
– Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions
– Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions from abroad
– First president disbarred from the US Supreme Court and a state
court

* According to our best
information, 40 government officials were indicted or convicted
in the wake of Watergate. A reader computes that there was a
total of 31 Reagan era convictions, including 14 because of Iran-Contra
and 16 in the Department of Housing & Urban Development scandal.
47 individuals and businesses associated with the Clinton machine
were convicted of or pleaded guilty to crimes with 33 of these
occurring during the Clinton administration itself. There were
in addition 61 indictments or misdemeanor charges. 14 persons
were imprisoned. A key difference between the Clinton story and
earlier ones was the number of criminals with whom he was associated
before entering the White House.

Using a far looser standard
that included resignations, David R. Simon and D. Stanley Eitzen
in Elite Deviance, say that 138 appointees of the Reagan administration
either resigned under an ethical cloud or were criminally indicted.
Curiously Haynes Johnson uses the same figure but with a different
standard in “Sleep-Walking Through History: America in the
Reagan Years: “By the end of his term, 138 administration
officials had been convicted, had been indicted, or had been
the subject of official investigations for official misconduct
and/or criminal violations. In terms of number of officials involved,
the record of his administration was the worst ever.”

**Selene Walter accused
Ronald Reagan of rape 39 years after the alleged assault in the
1950s. No further information is available on this case. The
Juanita Broaddrick case involving Bill Clinton was investigated
by the congressional impeachment counsel. According to counsel
David Shippers those conducting the interview “have assured
me that she is the most credible witness that either one of them
have ever talked to”

Justice Department listed 25 people indicted and 19 convicted
because of the 1996 Clinton-Gore fundraising scandals.
– According to the House Committee on Government Reform in September
2000, 79 House and Senate witnesses asserted the Fifth Amendment
in the course of investigations into Gore’s last fundraising
campaign.

-James Riady entered a plea agreement to pay an $8.5 million
fine for campaign finance crimes. This was a record under campaign
finance laws.

ARKANSAS SUDDEN
DEATH SYNDROME

– Number of persons in
the Clinton machine orbit who are alleged to have committed suicide:
9
– Number known to have been murdered: 12
– Number who died in plane crashes: 6
– Number who died in single car automobile accidents: 3
– Number of one-person sking fatalities: 1
– Number of key witnesses who have died of heart attacks while
in federal custody under questionable circumstances: 1
– Number of unexplained deaths: 4
– Number of northern Mafia killings during peak years of 1968-78:
30
– Number of Dixie Mafia killings during same period: 156

It is important
in considering these fatal incidents to bear in mind the following:

The fact
that anomalies need to be investigated further carries no presumption
of how a death actually occurred, only that there remain serious
questions that require answers.

The possibility
of foul play must be taken seriously in a major criminal conspiracy
in which over two score individuals and firms have been convicted
and over 100 witnesses have pled the Fifth Amendment or fled
the country.

If foul play
did occur in any of these cases, that fact by itself does not
carry the presumption that the the Clinton machine was involved.
Given the footprints of organized crime, drug trade, foreign
espionage, and intelligence agencies on the trail of the Clinton
story, such a assumption would not be warranted. It is also well
to keep in mind the classic prohibition era movie in which the
corrupt poitician’s job was not to engage in illegal acts but
to avoid noticing them.

THE HIDDEN
ELECTION

USA Today calls it “the
hidden election,” in which nearly 7,000 state legislative
seats are decided with only minimal media and public attention.
But there was an important national story here: evidence of the
disaster that Bill Clinton was for the Democratic Party. According
to the National Conference of State Legislatures, Democrats held
a 1,542 seat lead in the state bodies in 1990. As of 1998 that
lead had shrunk to 288. That’s a loss of over 1,200 state legislative
seats, nearly all of them under Clinton. Across the US, the Democrats
controled only 65 more state senate seats than the Republicans.

Further, in 1992, the Democrats
controlled 17 more state legislatures than the Republicans. After
1998, the Republicans controlled one more than the Democrats.
Not only was this a loss of 9 legislatures under Clinton, but
it was the first time since 1954 that the GOP had controlled
more state legislatures than the Democrats (they tied in 1968).

Here’s what happened to
the Democrats under Clinton, based on our latest figures:

– GOP seats gained in House
since Clinton became president: 45
– GOP seats gained in Senate since Clinton became president:
7
– GOP governorships gained since Clinton became president: 11

– GOP state legislative seats gained since Clinton became president:
1,254
as of 1998
– State legislatures taken over by GOP since Clinton became president:
9

This is from the URL below:

There is more there, but you get the idea.

– Democrat officeholders who have become Republicans since Clinton
became
president: 439 as of 1998
– Republican officeholders who have become Democrats since Clinton
became president: 3

Why am I not surprised that a flamboyant registered Independent is here to show support for a guy who for some reason suffers from chronic throat irritation?  Is it the result of lying or what?

Hey, if it’s on the Internet or if Al Gore said it, it must be true. 

Stylin – what a load.

The GOP is who ran Newt out of congress, now they are going to rally around him and make him their nominee.  I don’t think so.   This is on the same plain as marrying your x-wife’s mother. I never thought I would see the day the GOP party would be this disfunctional.

No one will ever take this comment section seriously until management, filters out the RW knuckle-draggers who mostly seem to fit the stereotype of the uneducated-xenophobic-mutated hick whose half-sister is also his/her mother.

Even though that’s not saying much.

No, no you  wrong.  I’m taking about convictions. Not accusations. Much less, accusation from from non- legitimate sites like “Friends of Bill” and the ohhh so right-wing Washington Times.. C’mon, not even most of the Fox viewers will fall for that. Nice try though.

You mean these 6 non-partison sites.   http://www.vikitech.com/454/get-your-facts-right-6-fact-checking-websites-that-help-you-know-the-truth    Now you were saying?  These are fact checking sites. Not accusation checking sites    And there is no need to call names…when you are wrong admit and move on. Apology accepted.

Number of unexplained deaths? Number of missing people? What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?  What does this have to do with corruption and like what are you talking about?  We are on Mediaite. Not the flat-earther society site.  wow. 

Read your own BS statistic, Stylish One.  “Republicans who have been accused, indicted or convicted of crimes.”  That’s lumping a whole lot of maybe into arguing a fact. 

That’s like Obama being given a transparency award in a behind the scenes
ceremony . 

Right along the lines of your type of statistical analysis, I can comfortably and honestly state that:

Most convicted criminals serving time in prison are Democrats.

Yes, your apology is noted and accepted. So kind of you.

You are deeply in denial. Did you read the word conviction in my post before you put out this junk? You can lie all day long but that isn’t going to change the facts.

Trolls are trained by Soros Troll Central/Media Matters/MoveOn.org in several tactics:
1. Clog the site with posts so no one can find the serious discussion.
2. Post spam on every possible article.
3. Be so obnoxious the traffic on the site will be reduced
4. Continue to post the same talking point repeatedly despite the fact it has been soundly refuted.
5. Accuse your opponent of what you are doing.

lol   you are wrong and the best part is that you know it……There are again, that I can say with honesty that there are three times as many Republicans indicted and/or convicted as there are Democrats. The stats I have found are from these “reputable” fact checking sites ;  http://www.vikitech.com/454/get-your-facts-right-6-fact-checking-websites-that-help-you-know-the-truth.  You can’t prove differently because facts are either true or not true.  Just simply google:  corruption “Democrats vs Republican”. Just doing that will show any reasonable person all they need to know. Now until then, keep watching Fox news or something and pest someone else.
The Stylish One.     

Flamboyant fake Independent one.  You can’t even be honest about your political party.  You sit waiting constantly ready to tell your next lie, and provide fake links that are likely crawling with Trojans, not the condom variety..  Admit it, you work at the White House, part of the giant staff, Stylin’  the Scarecrow’s hair so she doesn’t frighten small children.

Have you ever noticed that when liberals attack someone who says something that counters their specious claims they immediately throw the intellect card and start calling names? I think it is interesting that the people who question or accuse others of being of lesser intellect tend to be a fulfillment of their own prophecy.

yawn,,, zzzzzz
