Barney Frank was one of the most destructive Congressmen in American history. He created the mortgage mess. And any time anyone criticized him for it, he used the fact that he was gay as a shield as if criticizing him for creating a disastrous housing policy was homophobic. He also was corrupt to the core, and arrogant. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Has an “active” congressman ever been pardoned? That is what I think this is about. Bawney get’s out of the way, investigations get explosive by the end of 2012 and Zero pardon’s a party hack on his way out in 2013.

He ought to be led out in irons.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

On a nice fat pension.

Since Mr. Frank hates rich people, shouldn’t he sign it over to the guvament?

Just asking.

Guess he can’t get his usual “perks” at Penn State and Syracuse games any more. Time to get out.

For the life of me, I never could figure out what the Massachusetts voters saw in Barney Frank. He was a pervert of the first order and only looked out for Number 1. Good riddance. May ho receive his just reward from God.

Hmmmf. His district lines were recently redrawn and my very conservative town is now part of his district. He sees that he can’t win the next election so he decides to quit. But hey...whatever gets rid of him.

Not soon enough! He’s devastated my husband’s career as a mortgage broker and I’m sure many others are also suffering. Good riddance.

They probably could, but, who is going to charge them? They [the Democrat Party] owns the enforcement agencies and the propganda arm.
