Frank had a lock on this seat and should be easily re-elected for years to come. Are there criminal charges forthcoming or some other reason for this? It is a mystery why he won’t seek re-election unless he and Chris Dodd are planning a consulting business tied to their criminal dealings with Fannie and Freddie.

So what kind of leftist pervert will the Demonrats drag out of some Sodomchusetts sewer as a replacement?

I’m sure there’s a lucrative lobbying job waiting for him.

Howie Carr list ping. I think after he was re-elected in ‘10 he said he prob. wouldn’t seek re-election again but he changed his mind and said he would.

Now...

I'm not surprised. Republican Sean Bielat ran a strong campaign against him last go-around. Being Massachusetts and all, it wasn't that close but he certainly gave Barney a scare for a while and made some significant inroads with name recognition. During that campaign, there were Sean Bielat yard signs all over Newton. With or without Barney in the race, I think Bielat has a good chance of capturing the seat in 2012 and he appears interested.

GOOD — Taxachusetts is finally getting back their village idiot. Too bad he helped ruin the country while he was in DC.

Makes me wonder why and what he’ll be implicated in.

To be replaced by another ‘Rat, one just as corrupt.

It doesn’t seem possible for Marxistchusetts to elect anything other than corrupt liberals to office.

Except that kind of thing never stopped or bothered him before.

Not sure if he was a RINO or not but Sean Bielat took on Barney in ‘10 and ran this ad, “the Barney Shuffle”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QbNGnvBR7k

In the 6th district there will be a primary for the GOP.
Opposing incumbent John Tierney will be Bill Hudak (who
ran and lost in ‘10) and former state Sen. Rich Tisei. Tisei,
who ran as Charlie Baker’s running mate in ‘10 (Gov/Lt Gov)
has announced he is openly gay. Whether he wins the GOP
nomination or final election, we’ll have to see.

No, he's getting a job with the TSA.

Is the press sure that is what he said ? In Barney speak, he probably said

I wont seek re-ewection .

Now, he could have meant re-erection, not re-election

His mission is through. He can now retire with a platinum parachute (and a golden shower)..
