I'm going to have to rethink my opinion of Barney Frank after this. He did the right thing in this situation when it would have been easy to just fake a lapse of memory or attention.
Unfortunately I see it as more strategic. . .post this election and the Demrats need to appear more 'center' and certainly more 'pro-America/Military and 'apple pie' as well.
Frank did do the 'right thing'; and that is good. I would offer that his motivations for doing might be a thoughtful consideration; rather than an 'gut response'. I can give him the benefit of the doubt; but no more than that.
The Demrats are determined in their 'collective' efforts to appear pro America/Military and 'apple pie' . . .but whatever the case; we can all appreciate his response.
"He did the right thing in this situation when it would have been easy to just fake a lapse of memory or attention."
Barney Frank, hometown: Bayonne, NJ where I live now. It's a very patriotic town.
After 9/11 there suddenly appeared, everywhere, placards declaring:
Bayonne NJ
We defend America
Any time
Any place
Anywhere
Barney Frank has lived up to that. GOOD FOR HIM!
I LOVE BAYONNE!
