Grew up in Newton and my parents and sister still live there. They religiously pull the lever for anything with a D after its name but take particular delight in voting for Frank. I can’t even begin to understand it. Makes no sense.

Yes and good news for Penn State, they are a couple of molesters short.

Frank is a corrupt politician in the classical sense of the word - morally, sexually, financially, politically.

He should pursue a second career in acting. He could easily find a role as a dissolute, fat, perverted Senator in a remake of “I, Claudius” or “Caligula.”

Now that he has ruined the economy and queered the military his work is done and he can retire.

Easy ride down I-90 to Syracuse...

I always thought that it was REPUBLICANS who ‘retire’ just prior to a crucial election year.

Democrats die in office and their wives/children/partners just ‘inherit’ their position, don’t they???

Are your parents and sister involved in an industry heavily reliant on government intervention? Like “education” or real estate?

[Pharmboy]

Somehow a post on Barney Frank containing the words “internal poles (sic)” just doesn’t seem right.

Healthcare - but I don’t think it’s that - I think it just *is*. Like I like to say they root for the Red Sox and vote for D’s - an article of faith. No explaining it.

Politics was a thing of the past when he found Penn state would pay, an old queer, to drive around high schools and look for talent. And pay you to take showers with young men and boys. LOL

I get it, I have a family like that, only they all want to suck off the embolistic government teat. I am also a Red Sox fan, but like the Democratic Party that I grew up rooting for, the Sox have sorely been trying my patience lately.

Barney Frank isn’t seeking re-election because he is taking the lead role in a revival in La Cage Aux Folles. Sorry Nancy, he got the role and you didn’t.

Probably because he looks better in a tutu than she does. /gag

Good riddance to a liberal BULLY. Has anyone noticed how he deals with any confrontation?

1. He aggressively/offensively sputters incessantly without allowing his opponent to get a word in edgewise.

2. When his opponent realizes they need to interrupt the cowardly bastard to say anything, Barney ALWAYS plays offended victim, “Would you please stop interrupting me?” and pretends to be suuuuuch a victim

Happens every time.

With all the “pick-up-the-soap boy shower reports” lately from NE colleges, Barney has his eye on a new career, college coach.

"Frank’s campaign manager last year said his flaccid withering 2010 re-election effort spurred the congressman to think seriously about retirement..."
