Frank: Partisanship is out of control in Congress
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9DTEVVO2&show_article=1 ^

Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank says Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh is right that Capitol Hill's partisanship is getting out of control.

But Frank says his fellow Democrat could do more to change that by staying in Congress and helping change the filibuster rule than by stepping out of public service.

I know. I am so sick of these idiots who know nothing and speak more no nothing than I have ever heard. Lots of hot air up there in Washington DC. With all the natural gas coming out of these guys; the heating bills should be read almost zero.

Like I said yesterday, hyper-partisanship began on Nov. 5, 2000, when Al Gore told George Bush not to get "snippy" about his rescinding of his conceding the election of 2000.

The Left turned on everything Republican, with a vengeance, ever since then.

Does anyone ask WHY?

If you push an agenda that not only is diametrically opposed, indeed antithetical, not only to the agenda of the other party, but the agenda of the people as well, why in Hell’s Bells would anyone expect even a smidgen of accommodation?

I don’t know why Frank is not in prison. He , more than anyone , caused the housing fiasco and thereby the economic crash we have now.
Fag boy needs to be arrested and tried .I’m sure the one thing he will never be is HUNG!

This is their new BS, that voters are turned off by all the “fighting” on tv. I heard Robert Reich serve up this muck this morning.

Rather than face that voters are upset over their liberal policies.

Frank should take the hint and retire himself. He has done much to destroy the foundations of this country and put our great grandchildren into debt. He is a monster when it comes to tax and spend Democrats.

Isn’t it funny that Democrats didn’t care about the filibuster rule until they lost the filibuster-proof majority?

Exactly. The only bad part about partisanship is when neither side will even listen to the other or let the other speak; otherwise, voting as per party principle is what’s supposed to happen.

The Democrats raised the level of the partisan fighting while Bush was President, and they could care less what the republicans or anyone else said in 2009 as long as they have the Filibuster=proof majority. now all of a sudden they want to play the sympathy card? I hope people aren’t stupid enough to buy into that rhetoric.

Change the filibuster now to benefit democrats. Change it back to the way it is now, when rpoubilcans regain the senate.

Bayh wants to run for president one of these days and he needs to distance himself from Obummer .... ‘partisanship’ in DC is a good excuse to get out.

Is the entire Democrat Party loco? They own the entire congress and executive branches. If there is partisanship it is between themselves.

"Frank: Partisanship is out of control in Congress"

What Bwawny means is, the dems are loosing control of their own, which means more partisanship comes into play.

Bwanwy is pwobabwe afwaid that if those wascally Wepubwicans get back in power they might start investigating Freddy and Fanny. You know, just to just see if there was any cronyism or criminal wrongdoing that he and Senator Dodd knew anything about...just sayin'.

Bwanwy...America has dwopped the soap for you enough times alweady...your turn.

They can’t even see how one-sided their version of partisanship is. This is the problem with most liberals. Talking to them, explaining to them etc. literally does no good.
