won't have Slobbering Barney to kick around anymore

[dogtowner]

calling it a career

good, he's done more than enough harm to this country

Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) will announce Monday that he is not seeking re-election, ending a 32-year career in the House.


Frank, 71, is the top Democrat on the Financial Services Committee and the architect, with former Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), of the sweeping Wall Street regulatory reform law enacted in 2010.

Barney Frank pulls out one last time

Barney Frank (D-MA) has announced that he will not run for election in 2012. He seems to be getting out of town ahead of the posse, after winning his seat by slimmer and slimmer margins every two years. His major role in encouraging banks to give out mortgage loans to people unlikely to pay them back was one of the factors in causing the "housing crisis" and a major recession as those loans started to default in 2007-2009; and his role in the Dodd-Frank bill that paralyzed hiring during the same recession could be a significant reason he has decided to get out rather than be voted out next year.

He was known for a prostitution ring being run out of his house while he was a member of the House from Massachusetts. He always insisted that he knew nothing about it, and that it was his gay lover in his house, who did all that without Frank's knowledge or awareness. It was a claim similar to a man who brings female lovers into his bedroom every night, and his wife insisting she was unaware anything was going on.

The media never investigated any of the claims, and ran very few headlines, usually on back pages, unlike their treatment of Republicans who wished the wrong person Happy Birthday, used the term "macaca", or were accused without evidence or backup of sexually harassing others.

One more deluded, self-centered, lying liberal out. A LOT more to go.

Rep. Frank won’t run for reelection
By Erik Wasson and Russell Berman - 11/28/11 09:54 AM ET

Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) will announce Monday that he is not seeking re-election, ending a 32-year career in the House.

Frank, 71, is the top Democrat on the Financial Services Committee and the architect, with former Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), of the sweeping Wall Street regulatory reform law enacted in 2010.

He is scheduled to hold a press conference at 1 p.m. in his district, according to a spokesman, who said the congressman would announce at that time the reason for his decision. His retirement will deprive the House of one of its most colorful characters, a man known for his quick and often caustic wit.

Elected in 1980, Frank survived scandal early in his career and rose to become the nation’s most powerful openly-gay elected official. After coming out publicly, he became a champion for gay rights and helped campaign for an end to the military’s ban on gays serving openly, which ended this year.

His legislative legacy is likely to be the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill that passed in 2010 in the wake of the Wall Street meltdown that sent the economy into a tailspin in 2008. Hailed by the Obama administration, the law has drawn sharp criticism in the Republican presidential nomination fight, and one leading contender, former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), even suggested that Frank be jailed, along with Dodd, for their support of the mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the lead-up to the financial crisis.

LOL!

True that.

 

[Little-Acorn]

LOL!

True that.

Limbaugh just mentioned that Barney Frank's seat is now wide open.

 

[Gipper]

32 years in Congress. No doubt he is a multi-millionaire and likely had nothing when he first won office.

Now he will get a HUGE pension along with the best healthcare the rest of his life. What a great deal!!!

And all for promoting and implementing socialist policies.

IT WAS BILL OREILLY AND FOX NEWS THAT BOUGHT HIM DOWN!! You see Thats why Fox News is #1 in the Ratings! .. The liberal media is dead as we know it. Subscribers are cancelling subscriptions to the New York Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Boston Globe and the L.A Times all because of their one sided liberal ideology.Just like when the William Jeffords with $90,000 wrapped in his freezer they put the story on Page two. But Remember Valerie Plame scandal? They put that on the friont Page top story of the day. And just like 55 stories on the Cain sex scandal but Bill Clinton only got 12 stories from the Monica Lewinsky scandal. This is why no one Watches CBS,ABC,NBC,MSNBC or CNN anymore cause theyre left wing biased reporters. Fox News is truly fair and balanced!

Never has a faggot gotten so far in public life for screwing things up. What kind of people live in his district? They must be more confused than a termite in a yo yo.

Since 1989, Frank has raised more than $13 million for his campaigns, according to research by the Center for Responsive Politics. About $1 of every $3 he has raised as come from interests within the finance, insurance and real estate sector, according to the Center's research, or a total of $4.3 million since 1989.

The securities and investment industry alone has given Frank more than $920,800 -- or about 7.5 percent of his total war chest, according to the Center's research. In every election cycle since 2004, the securities and investment industry has ranked as Frank's top industry backer.

Commercial banks, too, have shared their riches with Frank.

Since 1989, the people and political action committees associated with the commercial banking industry have donated $623,400 to Frank's campaigns -- or about 4.8 percent of his total haul over the years, according to the Center's research. That's enough to rank the industry as his No. 5 top all-time backer.

During the 2008 election cycle, Frank was the top beneficiary among all members of the U.S. House of Representatives from the mortgage banking interests -- an industry that includes Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and the Mortgage Bankers Association. (During the 2010 election cycle, he ranked as the third highest beneficiary of the industry.)

As the chair of the House Financial Services Committee during the 111th Congress, Frank helped shepherd the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2009 to President Barack Obama's desk last year.

That law is commonly referred to as the Dodd-Frank Act, after Frank and the legislation's chief sponsor in the U.S. Senate, Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), who chaired the Senate Banking Committee. (Notably, Dodd opted not to stand for re-election last year, and instead, he spun through the revolving door and now serves as the chairman of the Motion Picture Association of America, a pivotal player in the film industry lobby in Washington.)

Barney is the poster child for what is wrong in Congress. He pushed through Dodd-Frank supposedly to fix the financial crisis and yet, he is bought and sold by the banks and Wall Street. That law designed by Frank is akin to the fox in the hen house.

But, the left still loves him. What does that say about the Left?

He will now make millions lobbying Congress.

CRAZY!!!
