Barney has played this issue like a pro.

Why Won't Barney Frank Just Agree To Audit The Fed? - Business Insider

Frank has indeed said for years that he was for auditing the Fed while on the other hand working to make sure it doesn't happen.

If Frank really wanted this done in the way Paul does, it would have been voted on a long time ago.

In regards to Frank, I was referring to his collaboration with Dr. Paul over military spending.

"As members of opposing political parties, we disagree on a number of important issues. But we must not allow honest disagreement over some issues to interfere with our ability to work together when we do agree."

Grayson, one of the most out spoken leftie Congressman recently (but not currently) elected to office, DID work with Paul to push an earlier FED Audit bill through.

Kucinich is a national hero, along with Ron Paul.

Barney should not get any sort of credit in an audit the Fed discussion.

You seem to have an axe to grind with B'ney, so if you don't want to see his name here, I'd suggest stop bringing his name up (of course the poster will anyway).

You brought him up and now want to walk that back. That's fine with me.
