Ex-GOP foe endorses Frank
Attleboro Sun-Chronicle ^ | October 31, 2010

U.S. Rep. Barney Frank received an endorsement from an unusual source Friday - a former Republican opponent.

Edward McCormick of Norfolk, who ran unsuccessfully against Frank in 1992, said he was supporting his former foe because of his superior knowledge of issues and his willingness to work with Republicans to get things done.

"Perhaps it's not every day in politics that a former opponent endorses Congressman Barney Frank. However, these are not ordinary times and as a Republican, I'm proud to support Barney Frank for re-election because of his leadership, commitment, and willingness to always hold true to his principles," McCormick said.

No. The only time the Democrats work with Republicans is when Republicans vote the Democrat way, not the other way around.

On the other hand it pretty much sums up all you need to know about RINOs. The same bastatds who’re conspiring as we speak to unhorse Palin.

I cannot imagine the demrats allowing the coopted (by them) GOP revert to conservative control. It will be fascinating watching a second new, true and national opposition party (to the demrat party) be born. The opposition vacuum will be filled by some entity one way or the other. It’s a natural law.

Interesting how that endorsement says nothing about whether or not Frank's "principles" (snicker) are actually worth supporting. So, that same anodyne statement would seem to cover Pol Pot, Josef Stalin, the Unabomber, Osama Bin Laden, and other paragons of virtue...

We need to support this amazing ad. It's has been running for 11 days up there and I and others believe it is wrecking Barney Frank, especially with middle class and union voters. It isn't running enough though--needs to run like every hour today through Monday night. I cannot possibly imagine a union Democrat in Barney Frank's district supporting him after seeing it. OR someone with financial trouble on their home. OR someone who lost money when Fannie/Freddie lost 97% of their value, etc. I myself donated to it last night.

his willingness to work with Republicans RINOs to get things done.

Too bad those "things" are destroying our country.

The mush-mouthed POS sweetpea needs to be run out of town on Tuesday.

Course, I'd rather seen him tried and put in prison for life, but that's just me.
