Who do you intend to vote for in the U.S. House, Fourth District race?
 OK, it is not a scientific poll.
The results mean nothing.
But it is fun to see.

Barney left on a Jet Plane......

Barney Frank took a free trip to the Virgin Islands on a $25 million jet owned by Paloma Partners honcho S. Donald Sussman — whose company received a $200 million federal bailout, the Herald has learned.
“Barney Frank’s acceptance of a lavish gift from a hedge fund manager, an industry he is responsible for regulating, is a troubling conflict of interest that raises serious questions about his judgment.”
Sean Bielat, Barney's opponent, added: “Typical. Barney keeps showing how career politicians work — they use our dollars for their favors. It may be legal, but it’s wrong and that’s why we need a change.”
Barney says that it was a "friend" thing, not a business or congressional thing. He says that he is BFF with S.Donald's GF, Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-Maine)

Barney's bags are packed and ready to go.......

Barney Frank caused a scene

Don't Mess With My Senior Discount ! ! !
Maybe Congress needs another raise?

Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank caused a scene when he demanded a
$1 senior discount

on his ferry fare to Fire Island.... last Friday. Frank was turned down by ticket clerks at the dock in Sayville because he didn't have the required Suffolk County Senior Citizens ID. A witness reports, "Frank made such a drama over the senior rate that I contemplated offering him the dollar to cool down the situation."

Barney, Try Reading the Federalist Papers.


Start with Federalist #51

But the great security against a gradual concentration of the several powers in the same department, consists in giving to those who administer each department the necessary constitutional means and personal motives to resist encroachments of the others. The provision for defense must in this, as in all other cases, be made commensurate to the danger of attack. Ambition must be made to counteract ambition. The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place. It may be a reflection on human nature, that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government. But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions.

Barney,the "demented right wing" source is the Dems


“That is the stupidest thing I’ve been asked in a long time. That is insane, the suggestion could only come from a demented right wing source,” erupted Representative Barney Frank (D – MA), when asked by The Washington Times about what he thought regarding assertions that Massachusetts Democrats would stall the certification process should Mr. Scott Brown win the Senate seat. “There isn’t the slightest possibility of it happening—a way of doing it. That is conspiracy theory at its most contemptible.”

Well Barney,
the demented right wing source is the Dems
The Boston Herald reported that, according to a source, Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin’s office wants to certify the race on Feb. 20.

Friday, a spokesman for Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin, who is overseeing the election but did not respond to a call seeking comment, said certification of the Jan. 19 election by the Governor’s Council would take a while.

“Because it’s a federal election,” spokesman Brian McNiff said. “We’d have to wait 10 days for absentee and military ballots to come in.”

Another source told the Herald that Galvin’s office has said the election won’t be certified until Feb. 20 - well after the president’s address.
