Barney Frank to sponsor town hall meeting on health care
Boston Herald ^ | 8/17/2009

Posted on 08/17/2009 11:50:42 AM PDT by markomalley

Responding to what he called the “unusual nature of the health care debate,” U.S. Rep. Barney Frank intends to host a town hall meeting on the national effort to overhaul the health care system.

The meeting will be in addition to a Tuesday Dartmouth Town Committee meeting at which Frank plans to speak on a variety of Congressional issues, including regulation of financial institutions.

In a statement released Friday, Frank said the interest in his attendance at the Dartmouth meeting – the town committee moved the event to a larger venue to accommodate the anticipated crowd – spurred him to consider sponsoring a separate meeting on health care. The time and place of his hearing are forthcoming, he said.

Oh boy get the popcorn as this poofer tries to shout down the last thinking 100 or so people in his\her district. Funny this guy gets pwned every time he debates, he sounds like a stuttering ignoramus.

I’m sorry. I can’t post what I wanted to say. Something about the fudge or meat packers unions. I really hadn’t completely thought out the response. But I know it is better not to say anything at all.

Thanks for listening.

Given his rousing success in driving Fannie May and Freddy Mac into the ground ... this has to be exactly what Obama does NOT need.

“Let’s see, you’ve driven 2 of the largest US Gov’t housing projects into bankrupcy; devastating our banking system and costing the US taxpayer Trillions of dollars; now you want control of the Health industry?!?!?”

Isn’t Forrest Gump available?

I believe the meeting has been moved to Hershey, PA. I realize it’s a drive from Boston, so there are options, you can a train there.

The ‘town hall’ will be held at 11 pm Thursday behind the men’s room at the I-95 rest area in Auburndale, MA. Bring your own lube.

Thanks for the post. I only wish I lived in the area. Not likely that anyone will get into the event, but I would get everyone I know to stand outside and do the “mob” thing.

Frank is a pathetic piece of garbage.

p.s. IMO, the gay comments should be toned down.

He heard members of Congress were getting their butts reamed at these meetings so he is scheduling as many a possible.

Congressman Frank, should men who engage in a behavior that takes more years off your life than smoking have to pay higher premiums?

Dartmouth college and UMass Dartmouth are two VERY different places. You are about 150 miles south of Hanover NH.

I can’t make it, but IF I could, I would take dozens of uncooked hot dogs and throw them at him and yell, “YOU LYING WEINIE!!!!” every time he uttered a lie—wait, I don’t think there’s enough hot dogs in existence for that!!!

...or do y’all think that might be misconstrued as “rude” and “un-American”??

Moot point.

First thing I thought of was it’s a set up to get a major confrontation going on so they can use it as press leverage to hurt the dissenters.

I’m sorry, but I’m seeing too much manipulation of these meetings by the press now. For him to do this tells me he wants to use this situation nationally somehow for other than a simple town hall meeting.
