“This pervert has no self respect and none for tax payers. He’s totally corrupt.” Well, he didn’t become chair of the banking committee due to previous business/financial training or economic expertise, since he lacks both. His corruption is his highest attribute in the political milieu he frequents.

We have the people of Massachusetts to thank for him being in Congress. Kind of makes me think that Rick Perry is correct in wanting a nation separate from the New England States??

Barney's district is an extreme example of gerrymandering.

His opponent in the last election won approximately 67% of the towns in the district, and came close in many others.

Three cities in the district pushed Barney over the top: Brookline, Newton and New Bedford (check out their demographics and you'll see why).

The rest of the district is completely under the boot of taxation without representation, and would love to see this freak defeated.

"In 1812, Governor Elbridge Gerry signed a bill into law, that established several oddly shaped Congressional districts in Massachusetts for the express purpose of benefiting his own Republican Party over the Federalist opposition. Today the tradition of Elbridge Gerry remains alive and well in Massachusetts."
