Let me be the first to put the idea forward. We need a Route 95 rest stop named after Congressman Barney Frank.

If I remember history correctly, the reason Frank got elected in the first place was due to redistricting which caused longtime prolife Republican Congresswoman Margaret Heckler to lose her seat.

Wikipedia - Frank's father ran a Jersey City truck stop — a place Frank describes as "totally corrupt" — and served a year in prison, when Frank was 6 or 7, for refusing to testify to a grand jury against Frank's uncle.

How many different ways can you say ‘theres no way I can win re-election’?

Barny frank, while evil to the core is not stupid. He sees the writing on the wall. If he stays in another term, he may be held to account for the massive fraud he committed in “bringing down the house” in the housing market. Better to take the money and run.

I say hunt him down and bring him to justice no matter where he flees to. Grand theft and embezzlement are not congressional perks like insider trading has become. Millions of Americans are suffering for his excesses now.

He’s saying that the district is more conservative than it was, and he can’t win re-election. I hope he’s right, but I suspect it’s due more to the fact that he doesn’t want to expose himself publicly given the mood of the electorate.

No, he knows he will not be elected this time around because of all the damage he has done so he thinks he will just fade in the sunset............. until the knock comes at the door with a subpoena to appear in court. We have a cell waitng for you frankie and a neighbor who will enjoy having you do his laundry

Barney Frank's Links To The Genovese Crime Family

According to Frank, his father (Sam Frank) was involved with the Mafia. "[Alfonse Frank] Funzi Tieri, a big-time gangster with the Genovese family, came to my brother David's bar mitzvah, when I was twenty-three," he said.

Sam Frank died at the age of fifty-three, while Barney was an undergraduate at Harvard, and Barney took a year off to help resolve the family's tangled financial affairs. "The Mafia guys were very helpful to me at the time," he said.

“There was also this — I don’t like raising money.”

I thought it was his boyfriend who was the money raiser

[Plumres]

When I saw Barney was not running again, I actually for real had a Fizzies party! Just found a box of them at Cracker Barrel.

Barney Frank, a despicable piece of human filth. Cost America trillions, left us in an economic depression.

Whatta scumbag.

A somewhat bitter Barney Frank....a move he said was triggered by redistricting that left him with too many new constituents to serve as a “lame-duck” legislator.

Entitled swine. Mass typically votes 45% or more Republican in national elections (and sometimes even higher as in the Scott Brown race). And yet people like BF demand that MA forever be represented by Democrat congresspeople only, and anything else is a violation of the rules.
