Barney Frank: "She let it become a personality contest and that was a mistake"
Fox News ^ | 1-17-10

Posted on 01/17/2010 12:46:01 PM PST by truthandlife

(Boston) Outspoken chairman of the House Financial Services Committee Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) has not held back on his feelings on the Massachusetts special election Senate race, and today is no different.

Inside the gymnasium awaiting President Obama's remarks at a rally for Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, Rep. Frank tells FOX News' Carl Cameron about Coakley's campaign so far:

"She let it become a personality contest and that was a mistake. Some of us complained about it and we think it's turned around."

Previously Rep. Frank said a win by Republican State Senator Scott Brown in this race would "kill the health bill."

Its throw Coakley under the bus time. Makes me hate the Obama Junta even more, and his little grease ball fags like Bawney Fwanks.

Sounds like Baaaarney has thrown in the towel.Exactly where that towel has been before it was thrown is something I’d rather not know.

Right Barney, when you have no personality it is kind of Democrat (stupid) to make it a personality contest

Barney says she is taking it up the arse because of personality.

Yep, it's definitely turned around...

Keep supporting Brown, don’t let up. Frank may be lowering expectations and trying to get Brown supporters complacent.

This strategy worked for the Kennedy's ... why not Coakley?

Usual out and out lying by the Leftist media/political machine. Typical Democrat propanda tactics. They turn the truth on it head and scream the lie loudly and often knowing their stoodges in the Junk Media will carry their water for them

Check the below, Who actually has a real position on any issue, who is just spewing focus group tested slogans?

Brown’s issue page

Coakley’s issue page.

Because she has NO personality!

And unlike Obama, she hasn't been able to RENT one (one comes included with the teleprompter, plus you get six months of HBO as part of the deal).

supporters complacent? Carl just said on FOX that the 3,000 capacity hall was not full. He estimated 2,000-2,500 at the most.

Would you...ahem...care to rephrase that?

Barney Frank is a complete goof. Instead of pushing for the wrong MA Senator instead of Brown, Barney should be resigning, post-haste, for helping create a housing mess of tragic proportions.

GW warned Barney, but Barney didn't listen.

Personality? What F'n "PERSONALITY?"

After a couple of double-doubles to steel me before watching the "Dog and Pony Show" in Bean Town, I am now for the FIRST time, listening to Croak-ley and she is about as inspiring, upbeat and enthusiastic a public speaker as a dead fish and about as EXCITING as watching paint dry.

What a frikin Maroon!

Small wonder she has avoided public gatherings as she is obviously way over her head and her worst own enemy.

Besides (I know, catty even for an old Nam Vet) she is Coyote Oooguly!!!

Are there NO attractive female Demo-Rats???
