Don’t bother Barney Frank with petty details of consequences. His aim is to install socialism, and if given more opportunity, pure communism.

If he remains in office and the GOP regains control the old and new media should be reminded of this man’s actions, crimes and callous statements that bleed totalitarianism.

Frank loves the little guy as much as he loves pooty tats.

"fragged himself"

Let me make a prediction: nothing will be made of this. Yes, he "fragged" himself, but he's been doing that for the last three years. Nobody is going to make the Dems responsible (Frank and Dodd) for the housing crisis and the consequent financial crisis accountable. They've managed to point the spotlight at those evil, nasty bankers and financial speculators and their derivatives. Big Media is more than willing to be an accomplice. Nothing will happen to Frank.

....."if I want to get re-elected it’s my job to talk about the issues and my record"....

You also need B-I-G- bucks Fwankie......

If you can't get the financial industry to handover the bucks .......fugeddabatit. Better yet, ask your pal Dodd why he dropped out of the running.

MEMO TO FWANKIE We will demand investigations into any financial entity that contributes to your campaign.

“...these statements by Frank are damning to him and the Democrats...”

Kristinn, it’s only “damning” when you have:

a. An actual, real media concerned with doing an impartial job - instead of the democratic socialist hack operatives who currently run it.

b. A public paying attention - our current public has the attention span of an American Idol contestant’s 15 seconds of fame.

c. A majority of the public NOT directly benefitting from the conspiracy...

and

d. An opposition party that has the B*LLS to use the information for what it is - a political WEAPON that should be wielded with brutal, blunt force to drive the enemy to his knees and surrender (like the Dems try to do to us).

As far as I can see, the only option is “e” - none of the above.

Am I wrong?

“...If he remains in office and the GOP regains control...”

As far as the GOP “getting back in control”, see my post #65, option d.

Good luck.

In all seriousness, these statements by Frank are damning to him and the Democrats.

Nothing sticks to that gressed pig.

‘Atlas Shrugged’ scenario where the tyrant politicians have taken over everything and then realize they can’t run anything but still defend their plans and objectives in the name of ‘doing good’. It’s uncanny the similarities—Ayn Rand was a Russian immigrant and reviled it’s communism!

What is amazing is that there is a District so screwed up that they keep returning him to Congress

Classic gerrymanderred(sp?)district. Brookline and Newton are the main population of said district. Suburbs just outside of Boston. Ground Zero for moonbattery. Rest of the district snakes down to near Rhode Island.

Scott Brown won Frank’s district and did so decisively. Maybe it MIGHT be worth a bit of effort, eh?

Ding, Ding, Ding, we have a winner!

I am floating an idea with my conservative friends to fly out to his district and man the phones etc. for a weekend to unseat, work for his (R) challenger to win the district and send Barney home.

Any other Freepers want to make it a nation-wide event?

“I’m pretty good with words..."

That's just priceless. I love it when he says "referee" out three times in a sentence.

Yes Rand did revile Communism but failed in not embracing its polar opposite - Christian Orthodoxy.

Objectivism without a faith in the Lord is just as tyrannically inhuman...and leads to equally vicious human systems.

Raines cooked the FM books creating losses of $9B (that we know of) to create bonuses for himself .......The Securities and Exchange Commission said Raines broke accounting rules by playing with risky derivatives.

Yet he walked away w/ $90 million dollars, a $26 million parachute PLUS a MONTHLY pension of $116,300 for life.

Raines owns options giving him $5.8 million in net profit after redeeming them, plus another $8.7 million in deferred compensation for his six years at the helm. Raines has already collected $4.87 million in special performance shares this year.

He keeps $5 million of paid-up life insurance. He and his spouse get free medical and dental benefits for life, worth over $1 million.

Raines earned $20 million in salary, bonuses and stock awards (that we know of) in one year.

After he was fired, Raines told the FM board that he’s entitled to get paychecks until next June 22 giving him another $600,000, which triggers a $2,000 monthly raise in his lifetime pension. He also says he’s entitled to disputed options with a gross value of about $5.6 million.

To keep Raines happy within philanthropic circles, Fannie Mae will match Raines’ charitable contributions by $10,000 a year.

Franklin Raines looted and pillaged Fannie Mae
