Congressman Barney Frank has fostered yet another queer deal for Americans. Having introduced HR 4173, better known as the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Slobbering Congressman once again flouts his responsibilities as a defender of the Constitution, by introducing a bill that fleeces Main Street America in favor of his financial contributors in the banking sector. Bloomberg.com reports:
[The bill] supports the biggest banks. It authorizes Federal Reserve banks to provide as much as $4 trillion in emergency funding the next time Wall Street crashes. So much for "no-more-bailouts" talk. That is more than twice what the Fed pumped into markets this time around. The size of the fund makes the bribes in the Senate’s health-care bill look minuscule.
Four trillion dollars? Really? The Slobbering Congressman has done the United States an ......

Is it possible to expel MA from the US if they continue to reelect criminals like Frank?
The reason Barney Frank has such a special interest in fixing this problem is that he’s the one who caused it.
His district must be major liberal. They seem to like him and keeps voting him in. I would not want to know those folks. :)
Hailing from MA here - I don’t know anyone who votes for him. I try to vote him out, I even wrote my own name in at the last election as he’s my Rep. This year he’s got an opponant - finally. I was gonna run against him if no one else did.
Barney Frank sucks...

Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA): Judicial Watch is investigating a $12 million TARP cash injection provided to the Boston-based OneUnited Bank at the urging of Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank. As reported in the January 22, 2009, edition of the Wall Street Journal, the Treasury Department indicated it would only provide funds to healthy banks to jump-start lending. Not only was OneUnited Bank in massive financial turmoil, but it was also “under attack from its regulators for allegations of poor lending practices and executive-pay abuses, including owning a Porsche for its executives’ use.” Rep. Frank admitted he spoke to a “federal regulator,” and Treasury granted the funds. (The bank continues to flounder despite Frank’s intervention for federal dollars.) Moreover, Judicial Watch uncovered documents in 2009 that showed that members of Congress for years were aware that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were playing fast and loose with accounting issues, risk assessment issues and executive compensation issues, even as liberals led by Rep. Frank continued to block attempts to rein in the two Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs). For example, during a hearing on September 10, 2003, before the House Committee on Financial Services considering a Bush administration proposal to further regulate Fannie and Freddie, Rep. Frank stated: “I want to begin by saying that I am glad to consider the legislation, but I do not think we are facing any kind of a crisis. That is, in my view, the two Government Sponsored Enterprises we are talking about here, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not in a crisis. We have recently had an accounting problem with Freddie Mac that has led to people being dismissed, as appears to be appropriate. I do not think at this point there is a problem with a threat to the Treasury.” Frank received $42,350 in campaign contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac between 1989 and 2008. Frank also engaged in a relationship with a Fannie Mae Executive while serving on the House Banking Committee, which has jurisdiction over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Who is going to run as his opponent? Is it anyone worthy of our support?
Given this vile, disgusting, spittle-infested, scumbag, this is a clear case where ANYONE would be better than Frank.
I’m from Mass too, though not from district 4, and I know lots of people who live in district 4 and no one I know ever voted for Barney or at least they won’t admit it. I’m curious, have you looked at the map of district 4? I was shocked at the way the district is set up. There is a block of southern Mass towns from the coast northward and then at the top of the district,there is a thin chain of towns that rise northward to loop back toward Boston. Here’s a link to the map.

I decided to google gerrymandering and Massachusetts and came up with a site that discusses a more fair way to redistrict states which have gerrymandered their districts. Thought you might be interested in the how the district map would look if done without gerrmandering. Here’s a site showing the current Massachusetts congrssional districting: http://www.iqrealestate.com/CongressionalMaps/MA2.gif

I often wonder if he keeps getting reelected because he is gay. Enlightened East Coasters don’t like to be seen as homophobes.
MA is going to lose a house seat due to the population decline. Fwank ironically may be the odd girly-man out. LOL. True poetic justice.
Going to prison for him would be like going to Disney world for anyone else. LOCK HIM UP!
Remind me to never ever set foot in Massachusetts or buy anthing from there..
