Maybe he’s getting out so he can open up a new club to cater to a certain ‘clientele’. I hear it’s gonna be called ‘Meat & Greet’.

In Mass, that would be Ptown. Though Barney might need a few months at the Gym before he’d be accepted.

Brookline + Newton + Cambridge + surrounding areas = “their” seat; they can certainly make sure that one of “them” gets elected than in a district that extends to New Bedford.

I'll disagree. Except for the President and Vice-President, NO elected or appointed official should have any benefits of any kind after leaving office. This would force these jack-holes to live with the laws and regs they create.

POTUS and VPOTUS should get SS protection only.

We got the Swimmer’s seat. How sweet would it be to get Frank’s seat?

Everybody dies, even Barney Frank will have to face his Creator, and that gives me comfort.

You are soooo right!! We must remember the Torricelli Scandal in New jersey just weeks before his reelection bid!When it became clear Torricelli was going to Loose, the RATS Illegally pulled him from the Ticket and slipped in Lautenberg who had retired years before! The RATS WON with Lautenberg!! even in tha face of the horrific scandals tearing Torricelli apart! The RATS will do ANYTHING to Highjack an Election!

Perhaps he is going to leave the country with all of the money he has acquired as a legislator, and live somewhere where the people affected by his actions (who will bear the brunt of what he and those like him have done) will be unable to find him.

The Dem candidates for these now open seats will run to the right of the Republican candidate in an attempt to retain the seat for a contunied Democrat majority in the US Congress.

They tried that here in Ca 3, trying to run to the right of Tom McClintock....an nearly impossible feat, given Tom’s record of solid Conservative voting both in the Caliofnia Legislature, and the US House of Reps.............

The Dem challenger, a guy named Charlie Brown, no, not kidding his name was Charlie Brown, lost and has been rewarded with a job with the TSA in DC....

Payoff? Corrupt? You bet it is....courtesy of Nancy Pelosi.....the Dems spent a lot of money trying to fool the voters here, you can bet that that will be their MO this election year.....don’t let it succeed in your district!

Stay frosty Guys and Gals.... this is the year we start the long road back......

I was going to say it’s a bummer about Barney giving up his seat but that would be in bad taste.
