McCain's Frank Talk (He Finally Pulls the Trigger!)
Boston Globe ^ | 10/9/2008 | Sasha Issenberg

Posted on 10/09/2008 11:39:41 AM PDT by markomalley

John McCain may be going out of his way to praise Ted Kennedy at debates, but he is using another Massachusetts Democrat to draw boos.

In response to a question about whether McCain would investigate those responsible for the mortgage crisis, he pointed the finger at "willing co-conspirators" in Congress.

"Congressman Barney Frank and Senator Chris Dodd are two of them,” McCain said, so riling the crowd by the mention of the first name that few probably heard the second.

Reminder: Barney Frank’s gay lover was an Assistant Director at Fannie Mae when Barney was on the Banking Committee.

Conflict of Interest?

Yes, he can do it. But how many people will hear what he said in Waukeesha? He attacked Obama the day before the debate and the day after the debate—but not at either of the debates themselves, when people were watching.

Looks like Sarah has given him a political spine transplant. Now, let’s just hope he doesn’t slip back into reaching out to “my friends.” I guess anyone can tell I’m really disgusted with the guy for the way he mollycoddled Obama at the debate the other night. Sarah puts on the full-court press — and Johnny-Boy drops the ball. Geesh!

It’s a good start, albeit a late one.

What I’m waiting for is for Senator McCain to keep his campaign promise regarding earmarks. He promised us he would name them and make them famous. I’m still waiting to hear the names of the Senators who added each piece of rotten pork to the crap socialist sandwich that was foisted on all Americans under the guise of “financial rescue”.

And, what I really want to know, is the name of the Senator who added the 20% kickback to Acorn that at least didn’t make it into the final bill. Still, we have a RIGHT to know the name of that person! Tell us the names, Senator McCain, you promised.

I simply do not understand this either. Why is there (seemingly) no effort by McCain to do the “name naming” for a national audience? I’m glad it’s being done at rallies and state events and such, but then you see him in the debates or on TV (the appearances I’ve seen) and he’s all vague generalities and politicalease.

Goes deeper than that. Who did ACORN’s queen-Madeline Talbot- pressure at FANNY MAE to buy up all the sub prime loans they were generating at the banks by forcing them to give loans to unqualified minorities? Who did Madeline Talbot hire to train all of Acorns top “community organizers”, the ones who used their thuggery to force banks to give these loans? Why BArack Obama.

Frank has argued that family life “should be fair game for campaign discussion,” wrote the Associated Press on Sept.


The comment was in reference to GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and her pregnant daughter. “They’re the ones that made an issue of her family,” the Massachusetts Democrat said to the AP. How about “alternative” families?

The news media have covered the relationship in the past, but there have been no mentions since 2005, according to Nexis and despite the collapse of Fannie Mae. The July 3, 1998, Reliable Source column in The Washington Post reported Frank, who is openly gay, had a relationship with Herb Moses, an executive for the now-government controlled Fannie Mae. The column revealed the two had split up at the time but also said Frank was referring to Moses as his “spouse.” Another Washington Post report said Frank called Moses his “lover” and that the two were “still friends” after the breakup. Seems that Barney was focusing on the wrong fanny.

Barney said this week that Republican concerns regarding the loosening of subprime loan regulations and the pushing of such as mortgage backed securites is simply an attempt to appeal to the GOP’s racist tendencies...

Why would Repulicans have a problem with Barney? Given this week’s implication by King Frank, who is the real racist? The biggest question: Will the overeducated, self-important weinies of The 4th District ever hold this criminal responsible? As they skip into Starbucks, wearing their Crocks and Obama logo t-shirts signing “yes we can, yes we can...”, not likely. Welcome to Holistic Facism..:)

I wonder what appointment position Obama will offer John McLaim when he WINS the Presidency.. McLaim operates quite nicely with democrats.. always has.. Wonder what will happen when Sara Palin discovers she is being used like a rented Donkey by the Obama/McLaim cabal.. and will be put away well ridden and quite wet.. when its over..
