A GOP unknown is in striking range of Barney Frank

Sean Bielat, the Republican candidate for Congress in Massachusetts' 4th District, has had just one conversation with his Democratic opponent, Rep. Barney Frank.

It was in August, at a parade in New Bedford. "I went up to introduce myself and said, 'Nice to meet you,'" Bielat recalls. "He said, 'I wish I could say the same, but you've made this personal. You've been attacking me.' Then he turned and walked away."

Bielat remembers thinking that was a little odd, since at that very moment Frank's Web site featured plenty of attacks on Bielat. But the brief encounter set the tone for what has become an increasingly contentious campaign. The nervousness plaguing Democrats nationwide has touched even Frank, a 14-term incumbent who hasn't faced a serious challenger in years...

Just so everyone knows, Bielat was at one point a registered Democrat. So when he makes a bad vote when he wins and goes to DC, let's not call for his head ala Scott Brown. For those who say he's too liberal we can always let Barney stay if you want.

This is the MA version of Sam Adams in 2010. The people I hope have had enough, but I will have to see it first.

Thanks friend for the info! Just sent some more Florida money to a great candidate to run old Barney out of Congress! Hope all the Freepers up there in beautiful Massachusetts do the same! Let's not only take Congress back, let's get rid of the real scoundrels like Frank and Grayson!!

[gidget7]

Do it!! Vote em both out. I only wish our candidate had a shot against the self proclaimed socialist, Olver! No one even knows his name.

Barney Frank is a very sick mind. Expecting rational reaction from this c*ck ^(%Q# is foolish.

[April Lexington]

Here's the point. Butt F&%#k Barney and his Liberals screwed the housing market, big time. Liberal Massholes understand the wealth effect of home and property value and they've had it handed to them as a result of Fanny/Freddie and Wall Street. Liberal or not, BF Barney has cost them their wealth and BF Barney is going to pay...

[gidget7]

Absolutely, they are both insane!

The ‘Cradle of Liberty’ is Rocking & Rolling !!!

TURNOUT IS EVERYTHING!

It certainly is, and one thing that will help get conservatives and more conservative minded independents to the polls in MA is the referendum reducing the state Sales Tax rate. I'm sure the Unions and libs are going to try to get their folks to the polls to block it, but it's an issue that's near and dear to conservatives, so they'll be a the polls anyway, to vote on it. That will help ALL Republicans in all the districts!

One of my personal top 5 parody songs on YouTube is Barney Frank’s ballet steps in DANCE OF THE SUGAR PLUM FAERIE.

“Bielat is 35 years old, a Marine who spent four years on active duty and is now a major in the Reserve. He’s a graduate of Georgetown University with a master’s from Harvard and an MBA from Wharton. He’s devoted a good portion of his professional life to manufacturing the high-tech robots that defuse improvised explosive devices in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

You know, that’s really all I need to know about Bielat. That, and he’s ten points away from Barney. Let’s MAKE this happen, people! Send him $ and re-post this on your Facebook page, blog, whatever. I’m sending him a donation right now.

[ducttape45]

Goodness, if Frank and Pelosi can both be run out of town I might have confidence that Washington can actually be fixed.


















Nah, I don't believe it either.................

[unixfox]

You’d think that during 14 terms he could have found time for speech therapy.

>Nazi Pelousy is safe. That’s a given.

If she’s so safe, then why does she keep increasing security?

[PapaBear3625]

Nazi Pelousy is safe. That’s a given. That being said, the best thing to happen to her is that when the Pubs regain control of the House, the new Speaker assigns her to the lowest, most obscure sub-sub-sub-sub committee there is. That way, she can languish in annonymity for the rest of her political life. We will never her from her ever again.

I think the minority leader gets to pick what minority-party committee slots get assigned to whom. But Nancy's heavy hand has been making enemies in her own party, who might be in the mood for retribution.
