CONSERVATIVE RADIO HOST SET TO CHALLENGE BARNEY FRANK

Boston radio talk-show host Chuck Morse, known for his conservative, pro-Constitution views, has announced that he is exploring the possibility of running against ultra-liberal Barney Frank for the latter's seat in Congress. Frank represents the Fourth Congressional District of Massachusetts, which includes such wealthy liberal suburbs as Brookline, Newton and Wellesley as well as the old industrial cities of Fall River, Taunton, and New Bedford.

Morse, a Boston area resident, has been a radio talk-show host for six years and is presently on Salem Radio's Boston affiliate WROL. He is also a columnist whose articles have regularly appeared on Internet magazines, and is also the author of four books. With tongue-in-cheek, Morse titled one of his books, "Why I Am a Right-Wing Extremist." Thus, we can expect this campaign to be a classic battle between a movement conservative and one of America's leading socialists and a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

Censured by Congress in 1989 for a scandal involving a male prostitute, Barney Frank has gone on to become one of America's leading proponents of liberal causes. He supports gay marriage, special federal entitlements, abortion on demand, higher taxes, socialized medicine, and big government-the bigger the better. Frank hasn't had a credible opponent since he beat Republican Margaret Heckler in 1980.

But times have changed, and Morse believes that Frank represents old, discredited policies that have hurt his constituents, particularly the poor. For example, Frank supports these big federal housing projects that have become blights in Fall River and New Bedford. Morse believes that Section 8 housing vouchers would allow the poor to move toward self-sufficiency and dignity.

Frank, of course, opposed the war in Iraq and is now calling for the release of illegal aliens detained by the U.S. Government after 9/11, saying that they are being held "for no good reason,"-despite the fact that they are in this country illegally.

Because of our war against terrorism, Morse understands the magnitude of the threat our nation faces and understands that national security matters should not be treated like political footballs.

Frank also sponsored a piece of legislation called "The Family Reunion Act of 2001." According to Michelle Malkin, the author of "Invasion," this bill allows "already deported foreign convicts, including some arsonists, robbers, and child pornographers back into the country to appeal their deportations." We need them like a hole in the head!

Morse is a self-employed businessman who understands the onerous nature of high taxes and the over-regulation of our economy. He wants Congress to stop passing laws that contradict and violate the Constitution of the United States. He wants to abolish the Department of Education because the more money the federal government spends on education, the worse the public schools become. He favors a flat tax and the reduction in size and power of the Internal Revenue Service. He also believes that legislation should be written in simple language so that the ordinary taxpayer can understand it.

Morse, who calls himself a Romney Republican, after Massachusetts' new Governor, has already set up an exploratory website, Morse for Congress.com. If he wins, he'll be the only Republican member of the Massachusetts delegation-and a conservative one at that. Morse is running because he wants to shake things up and get Congress back on its Constitutional track. He believes that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are presently under siege, and that our God-given rights are in jeopardy. He wants to make a difference, and there is no doubt that he is going to give Barney Frank a run for his money.

Both men are Jewish, but the difference is that Frank has been a long-time supporter of a Palestinian state, whereas Morse considers it unwise in light of the ongoing genocide against the people of Israel by Islamic terrorists. His latest book, "The Nazification of Islam," is due to be published later this year.

All of you Mass. voters: Is there any chance this guy could beat Barney Frank? Just wondering.

[b4its2late]

It would be nice to get FWank out of congress.

[breninma]

He doesn't live in my part of MA, but as one of the desperate masses here I sure hope he runs and wins.
Thanks Maria S, you've made my day!

[agitator]

Don't hold your breath but it would be fun anyway :)

[Dante3]

If I remember corrctly Frank had a roommate running a prostitution ring out of their apartment, then claimed he knew nothing about it. Frank is stupid and/or corrupt.

[ken5050]

Bet we could get a lot of Freepers to send him a few bucks...and also, to do some volunteer work on the campaign....wouldn't that be a cool way to spend a long weekend..bunch of Freepers rent a bus..filled with adult beverages...head up to Mass to to some outreach, knocking on doors.....

BTW....since you posted the thread here's your homework assignment..(g)..does the guy have a campaign website..or an email contact....?

[jmaroneps37]

I hope he runs. If for nothing else, it will keep bar nay
from helping other rats in tight elections. Every like bit helps!

"...does the guy have a campaign website..or an email contact....? "

Kamikaze run at our boy Barney *ping*

[onyx]

Good find, MS, but I think it's more likely that the San Diego Padres will win a World Series before a Republican unseats any democrat (even a lisping flamer) in Massachusettes.

[Theodore R.]

Frank is certainly not stupid. He is engineering much of the nation's social policies at this time. People in MA think he is a secular saint. Morse will be labeled a "bigot from hell" before his campaign even gets started, and MA voters will again, no surprise, vote for Barney.

[fieldmarshaldj]

The last time a Republican beat a 'Rat Congressman in MA was in '92. Barney-boy succeeded Father Drinan (what a change that was *cough*) and that seat hasn't elected a Republican from the Back Bay in something like 40 years (though the shifting Congressional lines make it hard to trace its political ancestral lineage). The slow shift of the state from sensible Republican to 'Rat was like a cancer. :-(

Newton is perhaps the most liberal city in Boston. Only Provincetown is more pro-homosexual.

[Impy]

Some think Barney wants to move on up to the Senate if a seat becomes avialable.

[ken5050]

Many thanks.....much appreciated.....BTW, do you happen to have the formula to change lead to gold?..just thought I'd ask....(g)

[TexasCajun]

...where do I sent my political donation to Mr. Morse?

We don't need no stinking Boy-Toy Pimpsters!!

[Final Authority]

You could be right but that was the CW before the general election for governor. Nobody thought Romney could whip O'Brien in the debates and she was dumb enough to ask for more beatings. Same will be true for Barney "Fag" if he decides to debate Morse. In the meantime, like the general election past, talk shows will frame the issues. Jay Severin had a lot to do with O'Brien's demise because he framed the issues each day before the debate. I would not doubt if he was working with Romney in that regard. Massachusetts has changed in the past two years or so. When the generation of the "Corrupt Midget" (Bulger) is over, and I think it will be sooner than later, the voting population will even swing more conservative. For our nation's sake, I hope so.

[Quiltmaker]

Hopefully "sweet Barney" will grossly underestimate Chuck's chances for winning. The "middle of the country" conservative mood is spilling over to both coasts. Feminism is OUT - take a hike, Hillary! Morality and family are IN (but not as in "2 lesbians and a parakeet"). Times are tough, but that's when Americans get back to the bedrock basics, and take politics seriously and personally. I think Chuck will win. Visit his campaign site:

If Chuck gets ENOUGH early support, then he will be more likely to get the big bucks backing his campaign from the RNC. It takes BUCKS to win.

I'd like to see him challenge him in the ring, then go kick some Masshole asses!

I live in Barney Frank's district. It's a gerrymandered mess that extends from Newton (a wealthy west of Boston suburb), somehow connecting to Fall River and some SE Mass towns.

When the district got these lines, everyone thought it was a throw-a-way to Republicans. I mean, cranberry growers, ethnic Portughese fisherman, heavy equipment operators, poor cities,...Barney Frank?

Guess what? He's loved down here. He has been regarded as a "quick study" on fishing and cranberry interests, enjoys the challenge from people who question his positions and have concerns, and fulfills responsibilities quickly.

In this area, we were afraid we were going to be handed to the pathetic Delahunt or someone from Boston who didn't care one whit about the area.

Flame away folks. He's a very good representative who does not base his situations as much as he used to on political alliances. That might be because he had misgivings on Kosovo, expressed loudly, but reluctantly voted for that mess.
