Rep. Frank was merely pointing out the Gulf of Reality that lies between right-wingers and the real world. There are many here as well who are on the wrong shore. Deluded and manipulated, they know only what they imagine. It's a shame to see them fall so short of what being an actual American is supposed to mean...
barney frank is a crook, yet liberal democrats will defend him, even denying facts:
In 1991, Barney Frank received an official reprimand for reflecting "discredit upon the House." The reprimand came as a result of his relationship with a man named Steve Gobi, a male prostitute whom Frank initially paid $80 for sex. Frank later took Gobi to live with him in his home, making him a personal aide. He paid him $20,000 in compensation (unreported to the IRS) and let him use his car. Subsequent investigation revealed that in the course of their relationship, Frank used his congressional office and stationary to fix Gobi's 33 parking fines. Frank also used his congressional letterhead to write a reference letter to Gobi's probation officer -- Gobi was under court supervision as a convicted felon with a prison record -- in which he gave false information. Most damningly, the investigation found that Gobi ran a prostitution ring from Frank's home. In his defense, Frank asserted he knew nothing of Gobi's illicit enterprise.
after Gobi, Barney Frank become involved in another questionable -- and possibly criminally tainted -- relationship with a man called Herb Moses. Moses, whom Frank called his "spouse," was a high-level executive at Fannie Mae from 1991 until 1998. Dubbed a "mortgage guru" by the National Mortgage News, Moses boasted that he helped develop "many of Fannie Mae's affordable housing and home improvement lending programs." It was, of course, these kinds of programs that ultimately led to the collapse of the subprime mortgage market that wiped out trillions dollars from the economy and produced the economic turmoil that we now face. Even though there were those warning against the precarious nature of the enterprise, Barney Frank -- whose committee oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- kept resisting reforms and besmirching those voicing concerns.
When the Bush administration proposed that oversight of Fannie and Freddie be transferred to the Treasury Department, Frank strongly opposed the plan, claiming:
"These two entities... are not facing any kind of financial crisis... The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing."
he is clearly incompetent, shortsighted, and criminal in his behavior. why would anyone listen to him?
It is hussein obama's minions and how they slobber over him that is reminisent of the way the Germans reacted to Hitler and he is also taking comtrol of everything like a dictator.
No, sorry, it's FoxNews minions and how they slobber over the lies, talking points, incorrect data, and 'catch phrase du jour' that is reminiscent of the way the Germans reacted to Hitler and the Nazi propaganda. Hook, line, sinker.
Of course you and the blithering idiot of a woman think the same...it is precisely what FoxNews wants you to believe, so they bring it up over and over and over and over and over and over...and you guys come on here and repeat it (and other Fox nonsense) over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
If they had wanted you to believe that Bush was the reincarnation of Napoleon, that Cheerios/butterflies/licking postage stamps cause cancer, or that all liberals can totally see in infrared, you would all be repeating it here.
No difference whatsoever.
The dumbing down of America is the legacy of the Republican party and, by extension, FoxNews.
