[Rep. Barney] Frank's Gutter Tactics Reflect Democratic Party

Barney Frank is in his glory as he prepares to celebrate his 69th birthday on March 31.

Frank's climb has taken 28 years since he first won a seat in the House, but he has now become, in the words of The New York Times, “one of the most powerful members of Congress.”

Since becoming chairman of the Financial Services Committee in January 2007 after the Democratic Party reclaimed Congress in 2006, Frank has taken high-handed regulatory control of both America's banking and housing industries — not coincidentally, the two industries at the center of today's severe economic recession.

“A crisis,” prominent Democrats now chant gleefully, “is a terrible thing to waste.”

And Frank, who did much that precipitated today's economic crisis, appears eager to use public outrage at insurance company AIG bonuses as leverage to enact what he and then-Sen. Barack Obama wrote legislation to do in 2007: demonize capitalists and impose a ceiling on all business executive incomes.

To appreciate Frank's manipulative and bullying role in causing the crisis and his political efforts to hobble capitalism, we need to look back to the roots of his radical, gutter-tactics politics.

This is important, because when you understand Barney Frank, you comprehend the essence of today's Democratic Party, what it is and what its real values and often-concealed aims are.

Barney Frank is the perfect poster boy for today's Democratic Party — and its apotheosis.

Any time an American votes for any Democrat — even one claiming to be moderate and bipartisan — more power accrues to Frank and his ideological comrades such as San Francisco-based Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, daughter of the former Democratic machine boss of Baltimore.

Somehow, just somehow, I really can’t picture Barney Frank assuming the 69 position or would I want to see such a demonstration.

"...there is nothing good left in the Democratic Party. Its values
corrupt to the core, its personalities deceitful and immoral, its
platform shameful and evil."

Wasn’t he recently demanding the names of AIG executives who refused to return their bonuses?

I figure he was just looking for a rich boyfriend.

What do you get someone like that for their 69th birthday?

Another gay male prostitute to work out of Frank's condo while he is "away and unaware".

[Seaplaner]

Frank...quietly threatened fellow lawmakers that, if he went down, he would put out evidence of others in Congress, prominent members of both parties, who had availed themselves of callboy services.

So, Mr/Ms Frank has the down low on who in Congress has been doing gay boys for hire, and uses this info as extortion to keep the ethics investigation quashed?

I suspect that if this is true, Mr/Ms Frank must have more than his share of congressional enemies, who might be waiting for their chance to settle some scores (evidence wise, of course.)
