The Awesomeness of Barney Frank
Does any single congressman cut through bullshit faster than Barney Frank?
Quote:
WASHINGTON — Rep. Barney Frank, an openly gay member of Congress, says he'd rather see gay rights supporters lobbying their elected officials than marching in Washington this weekend, calling the demonstration "a waste of time at best."
Frank said in an interview with The Associated Press that he considers such demonstrations to be "an emotional release" that does little to pressure Congress.
"The only thing they're going to be putting pressure on is the grass," the Massachusetts Democrat said Friday.

The Awesomeness of Barney Frank
Surprising. You'd thought he'd want to see new faces in the clubs.
Perhaps he had plans in Provincetown for the long weekend.

Unless you're willing to line the pockets of congress they don't waste your time.

Re: The Awesomeness of Barney Frank
Barney Frank is also in favor of online poker being legal and is nicer to Ron Paul than most Republicans.

Too bad Barney Frank couldn't cut through the bullshit of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Unfortunately, banks and banking are bigger than Barney Frank, President Obama or any individual figure, currently in Washington to change.

You're obviously unaware of Frank's actions and inactions that helped lead to their failure.
