It was because he was going to retire anyway, lost a favorite port town in redistricting and had a tough race last time.
Was this really why Congressman Barney Frank announced today hes retiring from the House of Representatives?
Perhaps another reason was hes no longer chairman of the House Financial Services Committee and like a lot of bullies, Mr. Frank found its not easy to be stripped of the power to torment and humiliate others.

That can be said about every single place he's ever inhabited!
Amen. Congress will be better when Barney Frank is gone. In fact, our country will be better without him.
Except the part about the real reason Frank should leave congress (not out of “shame”- the bastard makes Bernie Madoff look like a small time pickpocket) I agree as well.
Rove you magnificent ba$tard... once in a while he still comes through.
“Congress Will Be a Better Place When Barney Frank Is Gone”
I seriously doubt that.
However, I’m sure you’ll feel more comfortable in the Men’s room.
the congressional showers will certainly be a more comfortable place with Barney Frank gone.
Gerbils everywhere rejoice...
It is a start to get rid of the Fat Fag..Now say goodbye to Botox Nancy..Get ride of Maxine Waters and the Black Caucus and that will be even better.
The people of MA will be in deep denial and mourning once “their barney” is gone. How can they sleep at night without him there to “protect” them?
I'm sure he'll whistle when he walks out...
Odds are when the doors hit him in the ass on the way out they'll get stuck...
Barney working on his car after retirement:
Don’t count those chickens yet. Wait’ll you see what the morons of Massachusetts send to the Senate next.
Not bad Karl, not bad at all. It has been a long time since I agreed with anything Rove.
And how about this: When the old bastard finally croaks, no crocodile tears or, “let’s not speak ill of the dead” crap. This man is personally responsible for the despair that millions of Americans are experiencing.
Ah yes, Taxachusetts! Frank really did fit the mold there. A Socialist/Marxist paradise continuing to run up a debt tab for future generations. Take a look:
30. Massachusetts
State debt per capita: $11,357 (the highest)
Pct. without health insurance: 4.4% (the lowest)
Pct. below poverty line: 10.8% (9th lowest)
Unemployment: 7.3% (15th lowest)
Massachusetts provides many benefits to its residents. For instance, as a result of its widely-talked about health insurance system, only 4.4% of people are uninsured the lowest rate in the country. The state also spends a large amount on cash assistance for needy families and on pension benefits for retired state employees. To provide this much, however, the state must spend a lot. As a result, Massachusetts has the highest state debt per capita in the country.
I heard Maxine Waters may be replacing Barney on the House Financial Services committee. She would be as bad or worse than Barney.
Including this planet.
The problem with debt per capita ratio is that debt goes up exponentially while in states like taxachewtits, the poopulation goes down or remains close to stagnant, therefore debt per capita ratio will increase to the point of implosion.

Did you notice that one reason he left is because is new district is nowhere near as gerrymandered as his old one? He only won 54% of the vote last time and 2012 looks to be a dismal year for the Dems. They may even lose a few seats in MA.
