Barney Frank

[MrCongeniality]

How about that Barney Frank huh? Taking a day off for his religious holiday even though the country is in a economic and finical crisis.

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with Mr. Frank's religion. But if he's going to let it interfere with him serving his country then he should fucking resign.

Who cares if it's the fucking Jewish New Year. There are other things at stake like our future and our children's future, but yet this douchebag is taking a day off?

I fucking call bullshit, this guy should resign.

What's funny, I just found out he's gay. That's a shame. Not that he's gay, mind you. I mean for god's sake, I'm gay (just look at my signature). But his irresponsibility on serving his country in a crisis could make a stereotype about gays leading the country, and that's absolutely shameful.

Now that I think about it, it almost seems he's using his religion to run away from the crisis that's on top of him (no pun intended). But I hope that it is not so. I mean, come on, you don't take a day off if you're chair of the house of the Financial Services Committee and the economy is crashing.

Because of his little vacation, we won't get any immediate action or news on a revised bailout plan, and the stock market might reach a new low when it opens later this morning.

Thanks, Barney, for serving your country when it needs you most.

Oh I'm sorry, that last line was sarcastic. Obviously.

I never even heard of this Barney dood until now, but I totally agree with you. When your country is in a crisis, check your religion at the door. But I have to ask, if it's the Jewish holiday, then why does it sound like the entire Congress is taking the holiday? Are there that many Jews in Congress?

See the thing your forget about Massachusetts politics, is that we don't actually elect these people.

If your name is Kenneddy, or if your were in your positions for more then two terms, you never have to run for relection because you automatically win.

So we just keep this guy on, with no regards to his constituents.

Why wouldn't he be gay?
He's got a wicked sense of humor... believe you me, no hetero could have made such a grim day as yesterday and make everyone laugh.

And although he was just joshing, but... I actually do believe his charisma ( or "characteristically nicely" as he says) could actually talk about 12 Republicans, I bet he would garner their support.

But, anyways...
There were MANY factors, and we can't pin it on just only one person.

There are way more reasons why Barney Frank should've resigned, like how he tried to stop the creation of a body to oversee Fannie and Freddy and stop the subprime mortgage crisis.

*eyerollie* perhaps you should resign from your job for taking a lunch break instead of just working through. I mean, the company needed you doing your menial job, but no, you had to be selfish and take that lunch break. stuffing your face while the company you work for needed you!

yeah, its about on the same level of stupidity. However, I do wonder how a gay man can be jewish, considering the Torah's stance on homosexuality. If this man took his religion seriously, he would have to execute himself.

meh--
Considering that nearly all aspects of life is holds a heterosexual agenda against gay people... does it even matter any more?

I know gay Republicans (Maus is a Log Cabin Republican) and I know gay people who believe in God. Feh--

[aviewaskewed]

Yes, he should resign, how DARE that son of a bitch practice his religion? I mean, just because he is constitutionally guaranteed the right to do so is no damn excuse! Let's get him for daring to put his personal faith and obligations to such ahead of a bailout that isn't even really all his freakin fault!!!

If you aren't reading the sarcasm, please do the world a favor and don't do the following:

1. reproduce
2. vote
3. post on this forum, or any other forum I frequent.

Thank you.

While we are at it, Ted Kennedy needs to stop his bitching.

So you may only have perhaps months or even days to live, suck it up bitch. I wont accept paying my tax dollars so you can go through chemo.

If our great leader John Mccain can still work dispite being a fucking walking corpse, and simply a echo of a once living being, so can you.

Barney is a Democrat from the State of Massachusetts. He heads up the House Finance comittee. He is a &*%#&%# liar as well. He and other dems claimed that there was nothing wrong with Fannie and Freddie. Not to mention this guy he's involved with will reportedly benefit from this bailout. Also did anyone watch "The O'Reilly Factor"? I heard that Bill O'Reilly really tore into Barney Frank over this mess.
