Barney Frank: End 'Tea Party nightmare'

The political fundraising frenzy has entered the extreme stage this weekend as an 11th hour deadline looms, with retiring Rep. Barney Frank labeling the Tea Party a "national nightmare" that needs to be eliminated and former President Clinton issuing a virtual disaster proclamation of what GOP rule would bring to the nation.

In an email to Democrats, Frank blamed the nation's ills on the Tea Party that sent members to Washington in 2010 when voters expressed displeasure with one-party, Democratic rule.

"This is our chance to end the national nightmare of Tea Party Republican rule," he wrote.

Clinton in his email listed the dangers of giving the keys to the White House and Capitol Hill to Republicans.

"They want to cut the budget in a radical way, decimating programs that help the middle class, poor children, seniors, and those in science and technology that will create the good jobs of the future," he said.

“Find a butt and kiss it.”

That ain’t Bawney’s style. He’s a pitcher, not a catcher. He only wants to,,,, well,,,, pitch,,, not catch. It’s quite obvious. His only interest is,,,,,, well,,,, nevermind. Butt, He’s not a “catcher,” He’s only a “pitcher.”

Barney Frank: End 'Tea Party nightmare'

Real nightmare: You're a guy, locked in a room with Barney Frank. Your ankles and wrists are cuffed and cuffed again, so your cuffed wrists are also attached to your cuffed ankles.

You are held in a, sort of, belt attached to a cable attached to the ceiling.

You are clothing challenged.

Barney Frank shows you a bottle full of viagra pills.

Yeah Barney, who in their right mind wants a government where fiscal responsiblity is paramount, where wasteful spending is curbed, where people control the government rather than vice-versa, where dependency is lessened and opportunity is increased, where personal responsibility is heralded, where taxes are reasonable, where politicians actually care about their constituents. Yeah, how silly of people to want all of that.

"They want to cut the budget in a radical way, decimating programs that help the middle class, poor children, seniors, and those in science and technology that will create the good jobs of the future."

Be it due to the collapse of the US dollar and the US economy or be it by the nation finally coming to grips that we have a spending problem, these programs will end.

There is nothing Barney Franks can do to stop it. The Obama debt continues to grow by the trillions of dollars, and at some point, the chickens will come home to roost.

“We must be doing something right, boys! Let’s keep it up.”

This is actually the correct response to Bawney.

No castigation’s, no condemnation, only celebration over his angst.

Bawney stew.....let him.

Have to tell a true story. Outside of a grocery store today a black lady was asking people if they had voted yet or were those people being asked if they had voted intended to vote for 0bama. Another black lady showed up and said, dear I voted for 0bama nearly four years ago. I was stupid. I'm not stupid this time. I politely stated I vote absentee ballot, and walked away snickering.

Barnyard Frank says “end Tea Party nightmare”: translation: end average citizens interest in accountability of corrupt, government officials.

Elitist POS. I don’t want anything to do with people who recurrently elect people like this, allowing them to live high off the backs of hard working taxpayers, all the time pushing their own personal agenda while being impervious to the laws they make.

If he thinks the Tea Party is a nightmare, wait until Jesus returns as King of kings and Lord of lords.
