A GOP unknown is in striking range of Barney Frank
The Washington Examiner ^ | October 1, 2010 | Byron York

Posted on 10/01/2010 9:26:36 AM PDT by Dayvester

Sean Bielat, the Republican candidate for Congress in Massachusetts' 4th District, has had just one conversation with his Democratic opponent, Rep. Barney Frank.

It was in August, at a parade in New Bedford. "I went up to introduce myself and said, 'Nice to meet you,'" Bielat recalls. "He said, 'I wish I could say the same, but you've made this personal. You've been attacking me.' Then he turned and walked away."

Bielat remembers thinking that was a little odd, since at that very moment Frank's Web site featured plenty of attacks on Bielat. But the brief encounter set the tone for what has become an increasingly contentious campaign. The nervousness plaguing Democrats nationwide has touched even Frank, a 14-term incumbent who hasn't faced a serious challenger in years...

Give them hell. I’ll be proudly voting for Tim Walberg here when we sent Marky Mark Schauer back to Battle Creek.

Inexcusable. Absolutely disgusting.

Nazi Pelousy is safe. That’s a given. That being said, the best thing to happen to her is that when the Pubs regain control of the House, the new Speaker assigns her to the lowest, most obscure sub-sub-sub-sub committee there is. That way, she can languish in annonymity for the rest of her political life. We will never her from her ever again.

It would be great is someone beat Frank. I know some voters must be mad about his vigorous defense of the management of Freddie and Fannie. Frank insisted there was no problem.

Bill O'Reilly Battles Rep. Barney Frank Over Financial Crisis

"..(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

REP. BARNEY FRANK, D-MASS.: I think this is a case where Fannie and Freddie are fundamentally sound, that they are not in danger of going under. They're not the best investments these days from the long-term standpoint going back. I think they are in good shape going forward.

They're in a housing market. I do think their prospects going forward are very solid. And in fact, we're going to do some things that are going to improve them...."

Democrats are such victims.

We're seeing this in NY in the governor's race between Paladino and Cuomo.

And of course, the golden boy looking for his succession to the throne, can't do any wrong, while Paladino, well, you get the drift.

Except the liberals are so out of touch with reality and the grassroots of this country.

That's Barney's personal seat, and any attempt to elect anyone else is a personal attack.

And while we’re at it, let’s finally get rid of Jim Oberstar in MN-8.

Meet Chip Cravaack, Navy veteran and a huge improvement to
Porkerstar. I wouldn’t mind seeing a stronger statement against Obamacare in his position piece, but clearly getting rid of Oberstar would be a massive step forward.
