    oh but people wont focus on important things like this! Look up Frank, it’s him arguing with some idiot. This guy made so many mistakes, and will probably block HR1207. Oh, or ‘pretend’ to be for it, rewording the whole bill and changing it’s meaning. Listening to this guy is like listening to bad predictions and whatever he chooses to say at the time.

    If this guy couldn’t see that there was a bubble on the way, he must be an idiot.
    Add to that that he can’t talk. He speaks like Elmer Fudd.

    Why is he a representitive? Who would choose him to speak on their behalf? I don’t get it.

    I continue to be amazed that anybody votes for or listens to this clown. I listened to an interview of this clown on NPR and his arrogance just amazes me. But this clown is just another example of how people will vote for their party with no care or concern as to the candidate’s competence.

    Barney baby and his posse of clowns are owned by Soros and his Shadow Party.
    Soros believes in his “Open Society” which is a one world rule governing body.
    In order to fulfill his dream he first has to bankrupt our country then rebuild it in his own image. Barney has no allegiance to this country. If you follow the stimulus money and where it’s going, you will find that most of the money is going to groups funded by Soros.

    Barney Frank is smart and should not be underestimated. Barney Frank is so good with distorting facts, telling lies and deflecting blame away from his personal acts of treason. Barney Frank represents those who seek to socialize the United States of America. He represents numerous socialists living in Massachusetts. I pray to God that Barney Frank will sooner than later be held accountable for his acts of treason towards the citizens of the United States of America and our Constitution.

    I’m glad you don’t want a “replay” because you’re getting one. I wish that you could discuss the issues instead of attacking Mr. Frank, an honorable and wonderful citizen and ideal representative for all. We need more people like Barney in the House and Senate. He speaks his mind and eloquently expresses truth. As far as the shows on comedy central go, I like the one where puppets make crank phone calls. Why did they cancel that show? So, good. Don’t be a hater. Good Bless Barney and America.

    Wow there is a LOT …
    Wow there is a LOT of vitriol here. Please keep in mind that this was from 2005, a full 3 years before the economic bust. If Frank had argued for government intervention then, he would have been accused of trying to hurt the economy by the same people who are now spouting how much they hate and despise him. Furthermore, lenders and speculators were the ones who actually decided to make and take bad loans, and wall street unwisely invested in them. Isn’t that the real culprit here?

    The issue is trust.

    We can’t believe a single word that comes out of their mouths. If they can’t be believed, they can’t be trusted. If we can’t trust them, we can’t respect them.

    Once trust is lost, it’s lost forever. Once respect is lost, it’s lost forever.
