So in your world Barney Frank, even though he had less say than Pelosi does now, is somehow responsible for the Republicans failing to kill Freddie and Fannie. Because he’s a socialist? Okay.
Whereas W's notion of the "Ownership Society" was rooted in a compassionate conservatism that got gamed -- Barney and his Eunuchs-Are-Us Inc. cohorts are perverted wolves and practiced masters of the deliberate gaming and shearing process, as their ilk have ALWAYS been.
During the 2007 House Financial Services Full Committee Hearing on "Recent Events in the Credit and Mortgage Markets and Possible Implications for U.S. Consumers and the Global Economy", Chairman Barney Frank left the hearing in order to attend a meeting in support of legislation that would force American employers to hire homosexuals. That says a lot about Barney's priorities.

Along with 69 other members of our U.S. Congress. If that doesn't bother you, then maybe you are not fully aware of what socialism is really all about. It is anything BUT democratic. In fact, it was Vladimir Lenin who was once quoted as saying "The goal of socialism is communism."
With regard to Barney frank's influence, Barney Frank had to have had plenty of influence before 2007 in light of the things he got away with that would have landed most other people in prison.
