I probably am giddy over Scott Brown’s win in MA, but is it even remotely possible that Barney could lose an election in his District.

I ask because I simply don’t know the area. I assume his seat is as secure as Nancy Pelosi’s in my state of CA.

Did you know if you misspell “Barney” in a post and run the spell check that “boner” comes up as an alternate?

In second place was Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) with 26.3 percent.

Plays right into Governor Rick Perry's hands, yes?

Go where? How sad is it, we have a blatant, arrogant, radical “in your face” homosexual ,as Barney Frank, in our federal government that makes decisions concerning the future of our family and country. How could Massachusetts send a deviant like this man to represent them? How far have we fallen-from men like John Adams to sub-man like Barry Frank. What he puts in his mouth is his business. Why do they want to tell all of us what puts in his mouth? Why, to desensitize us to the point that we accept it as normal. It, ‘homo-ism’ is never normal- never will be normal. It is called queer for a reason. Remember when Barney ‘friend’ ran a prostitution ring out of Barney’s Apartment. That should have been the end of Barney Franks political career. Why wasn’t it? Barney was sending money home to the ignorant constituents. Stupid people, Barney wasn’t making the money somewhere- he was stealing from me and you and my grand kids. Fannie and Freddie - neither was safe from Barney.
