@pwire Sources tell me Bawney Fwank won't run for re-election. Wants to work on the board of a bank and make $ before retirement
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
He wants to work a Bankers back door.
In my state, folks are pretty livid and the S-word pops up more often in conversation.
Yeah, I know and the comment was “is this a trend”. So, I just heard that Stevens is also retiring and posted it because it fits in the trend of Libtards jumping off the sinking ship......’cept in Stevens case he’s 90......
Barney Frank—— GET OUT OF OUR HOUSE!!
That would be a special vacation for Barney.
They know the seat is gone with the memorably named Dim in it, so they are swapping out for a new Dim in hopes they won't lose as many seats.
What is he scared of that he wouldn’t run for re election?
Wonder what kind of cushy Job Stupak is going to take after his retirement?
Rats appear to be pretty insecure right now. rightfully so.
This isn’t all that much of a surprise. Scott Brown won Frank’s district in Massachusetts, and apparently decisively. All of the politician’s who passed the Health Care Nightmare will be looking for a rock to crawl under, and no doubt have been handsomely Golden Parachuted for their vote.
The question is: how will this effect November? Those who voted for this are dropping like flies and will leave a host of “unknown” Democrat candidates who will be able to claim THEY didn’t vote for Health Care, Cap & Tax, the looming VAT passage. The state run media will do all it can to help these candidates Smokescreen their way to DC. I don’t know that it will pay off, but they’re going to try it: sell the “New” Democrats who have clean hands of all votes which drove out the old Democrats. Sadly, a lot of voters will likely buy into this ploy.
He’ll never go to prison. He has too many pictures of naked politicians and judges.
In light of the impending Stupak and Barney Frank ‘retirements’ this bears repeating:
Who Visits the President the Most? Union Chief, Swiss Banker & Chicago Billionaire
Boy..those swiss bank accounts that Obama set up for ‘retiring’ traitors to this country must be really sweet.../sarcasm
need 2nd source for confirmation.
THIS JUST IN Bawney Fwank won't run for re-election.....wants to work on the board of a bank and make $ before retirement.
Bwaney's sucking up where Chris Dodd left off---hoping to snag the big buck financial donors who no longer will contribute to the tainted Dodd. (Dodd dropped out when he could not raise the millions needed to run again.) Read on.
Feb 2010---Cong Frank lauds Dodd's fight for US financial watchdog: Chairman of the Financial Services Committee Congressman Barney Frank (D-Mass), attended the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Frank emerged from a two-hour banking meeting, and made it clear that governments were now calling the shots after spending billions to bail out the industry.

I would like to see more folks here on FR create an about page so we could know where “Around here” refers to without having to ask. A quick click on the user handle and a peek at the state flag can tell you a lot. OTOH, some people are more private than others. TEHO
Will his title on the bank’s board be “Banking Queen?”
Until it is announced from his office, don’t go overboard on rumor.
A few weeks ago, rumor circulated that Sen. Blanche Lincoln was going to make a major announcement — her retirement. Instead, she only announced that she had a re-election war chest.
The stimulus slush fund might even have to be expanded to cover it.
Not a bad idea, but come on: these people are all richer than snot. They’ve lined their pockets. It really wouldn’t have any effect. They need to be INDICTED.
