Frank Mocks Health Reform Protesters, Bachmann
FOXNEWS.com ^ | November 06, 2009 | FOXNEWS.com

Posted on 11/07/2009 4:52:50 AM PST by Son House

Democratic Rep. Barney Frank took a dig Friday at the Republican lawmaker who organized a protest by conservatives against health care legislation.

Frank, a Massachusetts liberal, told an audience: "Some of the people (at the rally) that wanted to engage me in conversation appeared to have been the losers in the 'Are you smarter than Michele Bachmann contest?"'

Rep. Bachmann, R-Minn., had organized Thursday's rally attended by thousands of conservatives critical of the Democrats' health care plan.

Frank, who recently compared arguing with an angry voter to conversing with a dining room table, said this week's protest was like being trapped inside a furniture warehouse.

Considering Barney's intellect is sub par at best it is a highly risky stategy for him to mock anyone.

Barney’s “significant other” was arrested for drug possession in Maine recently when Barney was in the house. The charges have since been dropped. I suspect we will discover the arresting officer has been demoted.

One of his old significant others took the fall for a homosexual prostitution ring being run out of Barney’s home. I wonder if the IRS agents in charge of verifying that income tax was paid on that business wore appropriate protective gear.

Time for a Drug Test for a Congressman, of course they didn’t call him a Democratic when the article is bad news for Democratics;

Barney Frank present during marijuana bust

http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpp/news/local/barney-frank-present-during-marijuana-bust

Barney Frank was present during a marijuana arrest at James Ready’s home in Ogunquit, Maine. Ready is well-known for his relationship with Congressman Frank.

Congressman Frank tells FOX25 that he was surprised and disappointed with what police found. He also tells us that he wouldn’t recognize a marijuana plant if he saw one because he is, “not a great outdoorsman,” and ,”wouldn’t recognize most plants.” ( Listen to Congressman Frank’s full audio to the left.)[Linked Above]

There is no more despicable individual than Barney Frank. He is a coward that somehow has been granted power. He creates problems, steals your freedom blames others and relishes what he has done. I truly despise this vermin.

I can see the Democrats have already started wooing independents for 2012. If Frank, Pelosi, et al think this is the way to win swing voters back in 2010, they are in for a rude awakening.

They are doing everything they can to control the language of this assault on our economy and our liberty away from the term SOCIALIZED MEDICINE.

We must be constant in referring to this “change” as SOCIALIZED MEDICINE. That is what it is.

[So why does the president adopt such positions...] This arrogance is typical of todays worthless politicians as a whole, rinos and democrats alike who will do their own will and most who hate Americans and the liberty’s our Christian forefathers laid down in the Constitution and the bill of rights which the God of Israel only gives and takes away as He will for the righteousness or for the sins of the people.

DAN 4:16 Let his heart be changed from man’s, and let a beast’s heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him. and DAN 4:17 This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men. DAN 4:33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws. DAN 4:34 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation: DAN 4:35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou? DAN 4:36 At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me. DAN 4:37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

Like answering a question with a questions, is this part of “his heritage” too?

Or is this just the brazen arrogance of a tyrant?

If the latter, it is certain proof that the wild card up their sleeve is amnesty in 2010 to replace all the moderates, independents, and conservative Democrats that initially put them in power.

There are so many Demonrats to loathe....Waxman, Pelosi, Waters, Murtha, Reid, and of course the resident of the WH.

But I do believe Barney Frank takes the prize as being the most vile and loathesome of them all.

SNL had a great impersonator of Barney Frank the other week - and that person got the biggest laughs of anybody in the skit...because most of America sees Barney Frank as what he is - a pompous, well I don’t use those terms.

“have been the losers in the ‘Are you smarter than Michele Bachmann contest?”’ “

Barney doesn't like strong women. He feels weak and insignificant compared to them.
And he is weak and insignificant compared to them.
; and he knows it.

The worst part of all of this is that Frank is just the outlandish characterture of the liberals in congress, regardless of party.

Not all of them have his total lack of the social graces and morals, but they do share his lack of respect for the voters.

Being a snob is Barney’s defense mechanism to try to hide his own inferior intelligence - look at his dumb regulations for mortgage laws. He is too dumb to take speech lessons to get rid of his sloppy, spitty lisp. He is a flagrant homosexual who is attracted to homosexual criminals. And this miserable creature is stupid enough to discuss the mental abilities of others?

He represents a district in Massachussetts with a population of 634,000. That district is 88% white, 2.2% Black, 3.2% Asian, 3.3% Hispanic. Two-thirds of the people are classified as white collar. 60% of the district is classified as rural.

Barney has been granted power by those people. They must love him because he achieved 64.3% of the votes (203,032) versus the 23.9% (75,571) for the Republican and 6.3% (19,848) for the Independent in the 2008 election. He was unopposed in the 2006 election. In the 2004 election he won 77.74% of the vote (219,260) against 22.1% for his independent opponent. The Republicans did not offer an opposition candidate in 2002, 2004, 2006.

In 2008 Frank received $2.282,358 million in campaign contributions versus $39,026 for his Republican opponent.

It appears at least 200,000 US voters are pleased with his behavior.

Just how long do these arrogant low lifes think they can continue to deliberately and uncessarily insult significant numbers of sincerely engaged voters and not suffer repercussions.

Frank could easily hold firmly to his riculous political positions without any need to spend everyday trampling and grinding into the ground voters who diagree with those positions.
But he consistently chooses otherwise. Choice points are interesting. If not wisely made, they have a way of coming back to bite us

I understand he passed on the cash prize, and took the pair of breeding gerbils instead.
