To the very end this POS cheats me!!!. My town was just re-districted into “HIS” district. I was most happily looking foward to the pleasure and high honor of casting the vote that threw this garbage OUT!! But I smile anyway.

Barney has AIDS or he doesn't relish another two years with the Reps in control of the House. It is no fun anymore because Congress can no longer play Santa Claus, but must now be Scooge cutting spending and benefits.
Or Barney is running for the Senate.
No doubt, Barney will say that he is tired of working in Congress and increased partisanship that prevents things from getting done. He will use his press conference to attack the Tea Party. It will be interesting to see if he mentions the recently disclosed information about the extent of the Fed loans under TARP.

The last election saw an excellent conservative (NOT a Scott Brown clone) candidate, Sean Bielat, run a flawless campaign against Bwaney...and still got soundly defeated.
Bwaney’s uber-Gerrymandered district is made of up of primarily rich Jews (Newton, Brookline) voting for one of their own and the “Gimme” crowd (New Bedford, Fall River) who want the handouts to continue.
Now, with the 2012 election being an open seat? Possible, but still highly improbable IMO.

This piece of human debris will settle down with his loot and a young stud for a well-deserved retirement. He has always had the best interests of the nation at heart, but what would one expect? Barney is a homosexual which explains a lot!
Homosexual types are by their very nature evil and should be away from normal people; however, there’s not much normality in Congress.

“Especially in Barneys district there a lot of people who suck off the embolistic government teat.”
And he just lost these ground troops in the new redistricting. He lost the Southcoast strongholds of Fall River and New Bedford. These two now fall in a brand new district that’s going to be wide open and very winnable for the republicans if they can get their act together.

I would tell Barney not to let the door hit him where the Good Lord split him, but that’s just the sort of thing he might be into.
Eww.

She almost makes Marcia Coakley look...human? What a droll and dower creep Warren is. She's a DB, hold the water.
I can't believe I'm typing this but I may have to reconsider voting for (actually voting against the Rat) Brownie.

There has been some changes made due to re-districting in his district, but we’ll see
To: raccoonradio
Yes. Howie had an article about re-districting last week I think...it could make a difference.
I’d love to see Bielat win the district.

I think his district is filled with wack-jobs. Frank will be gone...but, I’m sure another freak is eager to step in.

Frank chaired the House Financial Services Comm. during the time the Fed released HUGE non-transparent loans to the top six banks (via Drudge today). Frank claims he didn’t know anything about the specifics.
Ya wanna bet he knew more than he’s letting on? Wanna bet he and his butt buddies made money on this information?
