I heard he was behind his opponent, as expected.

All I can say is I’m glad I don’t live in a district that would elect Barney Frank. He causes the housing disaster in the nation and gets rewarded with re-election. What a bunch of idiots in Frank’s neighborhood.

The first returns showed Frank losing. He came from behind and creamed his opponent.

No! Not Fannie May Frank!

Nice creative prose to describe the travesty, though. ;-)

I won’t be surprised if Massachusetts goes, almost, “all D’s, at all levels”, yet again, just as I predicted. This is Massachusetts with a “moonbat majority” of voters.

I’m from MA. I’m sorry. Not my district. Very “em-bare-assing” to be from this crazy place.

Democrat “Change” means sending the same old rejects to the Congress.

It’s Massachusetts. They’ll be proclaiming their own revolution because of status quo.

How did these idiots vote that moron back in?

That district would vote Castro.

A "Castro District", as it were.

Drooling, spluttering, slimy, sodomite, slug beats handsome, Marine and family man.

This could only happen in a place so degenerate that it has been abandoned by God.

God hasn't abandoned them; they turned away from Him. I am overwhelmed by sadness at this news.

At least the freak had to throw in some of his own cash to get it done. I have no doubts were this guy is going when his time is up...that is enough satisfaction.

Dude.... Dude....

Well, maybe he couldn’t be voted out of office, but with a new GOP majority he could maybe be indicted.

The most miserable man in congress, probably the one most responsible for the mess we are in, is reelected.

It doesn’t seem Massachusetts is too smart.

This is actually good...

Now he can face corruption charges and be removed from office in full nationwide view.
