A Pre-Election Day Prediction: Massachusetts Will Retire Barney Frank
Like a movie shown out of focus and at a high rate, the election in Massachusetts’s Fourth Congressional District has been exhilarating but difficult to appreciate fully. However, in the last week, the film has slowed and there is a laser-like focus to the race. Massachusetts will do it again. A little-known but young, intelligent, and energetic candidate will transfer a seat thought to be impregnable by the Democrats and the pundits into the Republican camp.
Support for this prediction is both objective and subjective. Recent polling shows that the race has narrowed to a gap that is well within the range that cannot be measured accurately by polling. Moreover, the polls show that Bielat’s momentum has continued to build and that the momentum has occurred among crucial independents and in the usual Democratic strongholds in the southern part of the district. Frank’s support, which has been consistently below 50% (a crucial indicator of an incumbent’s chances), does not appear to be rising. The curve of Bielat’s support is on a vector to exceed Frank’s support before the date of the election.
To those who denigrate the polls, like Barney Frank, an objective and persuasive rule convinces even cold-eyed lawyers like me that the polls are reliable. The rule is that “money talks and bull—t walks.” The amount and number of contributions to Bielat’s campaign represent concrete evidence that Bielat has reached the plateau that Scott Brown attained; that Bielat not only should win but that he will win.
There are also numerous subjective factors that have weight because they all point in the same direction and mimic the factors that applied not only to Scott Brown but also to the second Reagan election in which Massachusetts voted for Reagan.
In 2000, Malcolm Gladwell published The Tipping Point, which explained that there are tipping points of critical mass in sociological matters, i.e., “ the moment of critical mass, the threshold, the boiling point” that marks the point at which qualitative changes occur. That is what happened in this election. Gladwell explained how such changes happen, but one of the factors is that certain people, opinion makers, have a large impact.
I pray you are correct. Barney Frank is among the worst of the worst, and together with Chris Dodd, basically caused the mortgage meltdown in enforcing the Community Reinvestment Act while ignoring plainly evident fiscal issues with Fannie and Freddie. Not only ignoring issues with those two entities, but blocking any attempt to intervene and restore sanity to the process. Barney must go. I am today contributing again to the Bielat campaign.
Ditto,Ditto and ditto plus ditto to blocking attempts 17 I believe from Bush in his tenure! Isn’t Barney the guy that you must stand at least 50 feet away from as he speck he spits at the same time and you will be soaked if you don’t (might even get AIDS) he is of course openly queer (I do not say gay) he is queer in more ways than one!
Unfortunately I can not vote against this clown but I hope that sanity has been restored after the past two years of Democrats ruling against the American peoples wishes!
What do you mean you can’t vote against Barney Frank? Why not? Have a spine. Stand up for something you believe in. What has the country come to if anyone says: “I can’t vote for the better candidate”?
Respectfully,
VDon
If he doesn’t live in Frank’s district, he can’t vote against him.
I can’t vote against him for two very good reasons, first I have already voted, and second I live in Hendersonville Tennessee.
“…(might even get AIDS) he is of course openly queer (I do not say gay) he is queer in more ways than one!”
This is pretty obvious trolling, an attempt to discredit Snider’s readership.
The long-known fact that Barney Frank is homosexual has nothing to do with his grotesque political and financial corruption.
Let us all pray you are right, that man has done as much if not more damage to the US then Teddy Kennedy.
It has always remained a mystery to a “conservative” like me, why the Jewish community believe the Ultra Left Liberals will support Israel when the next war starts. They will by then conceded to the enemies of Israel in so called peace talks.
Maybe on of these days the pro defense liberals will understand what is required to get along with the Middle East Terrorist States and the Palestinian Terrorist.
Now that Obama and the likes of Liberals like Barney Frank are about to sell out Israel, groups like AIPAC will look to the Republicans and Conservativies to support their position on Israel.
Why do they continue to support Elite Liberal, High Tax, big social spending, small military positions. Remains a mystery to us that understand who and where the enemy are and where they sit. Washington DC is the first place to look, State Department, Democrat Caucus . Just to name a couple.
Jewish socialists generally hang out with other Jewish socialists where they sit around talking about the how great socialism is and how it reflects Jewish values. While they are doing this they seem to miss events like the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and other similar left wing anti-Semetic actions. Those that do notice and go into a funk alway return to the fold when the Oceana inevitably switches sides.
I have wondered this myself. In my area of the country there are very, very few Jewish people. We had an anti-Semitic incident here 20 years ago and it was the Christians in the community that stood in solidarity with them. For a very long time their tiny synagogue stood on the grounds of a Catholic hospital until the hospital paid them a huge amount because the space was needed for a new wing. I have only known a few few Jewish individuals in my entire life and it seemed to me we held a great deal in common. So it was with great surprise that I found out it wasn’t like that in the rest of the country. I hope that their leaders do open their eyes- just like with poor people, the Dems don’t really want to help, they just want to buy their votes.
What a blessing it would be to be rid of the corrupt and degenerate Barney Frank. He has feathered his den of iniquity for years with taxpayer largesse while he has lied and connived with impunity. All of these types need to be out of elected office. It will be a miracle if this is accomplished and will be a definite boon to the nation. I think Frank should go try to get a real job in the very economy that he helped to destroy.
I think Frank should go try to get a real job in the very economy that he helped to destroy.
He’s got the qualifications for a position as a prostitute.
Yeah but he doesn’t have the look or the wardrobe.
Cracked me up.
Yes, there is a wave. There are opinion makers. But the thing that is most overlooked is the quality of the candidates running. Bielat is an all-around, decent American. He’s the kind of guy whom you’d like to have in your neighborhood. Barney Frank is a toad. Unless they are politically savvy, folks vote mostly for folks they just plain like.
If Pubbies want to win, they should emphasize the quality of the PEOPLE who are running.
Great! Now don’t get cocky, kid.
VOTE!
I too sent Bielat a contribution.
It would be interesting to know how much money has been sent by individuals in small amounts, this cycle. Bet it’s huge, quite a statement in this economy.
I’ve been unemployed 18 months or so and I sent Bielat $35 about three weeks ago. Some act of Barney’s spurred me to that. Prior, I had no idea Frank was vulnerable. I’ve probably also given about $150 total to a few other campaigns; Angel, Odonnell and a couple no-namers. In better times I probably gave about the same but mostly through the RNC. Hasn’t everyone here gotten a chummy call from Chairman Steele every few days for a while? I tell them I don’t trust the org anymore, I wonder if these sentiments make it back up the chain? Well, this is how it should be anyhow. I wouldn’t say the RNC is exactly obsolete but plenty of insurgents were opposed or orphaned by the Rep Elites for no better reason than their clubby inclinations. This is one of many things that must come to a screeching halt, and are.
I will miss him. Not for his asinine policies but for all the fun stuff like these…

Say goodbye to Washington’s Elmer Fudd.
From your lips to the dear Lord’s ear, Mr. Snider.
I don’t have any money but I’ve contributed to Sean Bielat’s campaign twice now. Unlike other elections, though, I am not afraid of any results this coming Tuesday. If Frank is re-elected this time he will be swept out of office in the next cycle. The Liberty movement is not a breaking wave this election, it’s just the start of the swell that will not end until we regain our country back. We’re awake, we’re aware, and we’re not going to stop fighting.
The very worst Democrats are on par with the very best Republicans, and Sean Bielat is just a standard issue Repub.
Snark without explanation or supporting arguments = epic fail.
Scott M wrote: Snark without explanation or supporting arguments = epic fail.
By those standards, every Republican and right wing comment, statement, speech, and political ad over the past 30 years = Epic fail.
But in my case, I just need to link to Sean Bielat’s web page and dare you or anyone here to point out anything there that even hints that he is anything other than a standard, Bill “Mr. PNAC” Kristol approved, off-the-rack, talking points reciting, lock step, modern Republican empty hat.
Yep, Bielat is just a standard Republican hack. To win, he’d have to be running against Barney Frank!
BitChie is one on those Modern Liberals who likes to talk about the size of the Last Frank Spotted.

This is what Modern Liberalism is. Note that only republicans are singled out. Why, you might think that they are afraid of spiders and snakes and carry razors in their hair. As a matter of fact, they bear a striking resemble to certain primates.

BitChie Butt Crack is in danger. Using the non-human republican “standard” to leak part of it’s tofu soul onto the soil and then expecting protection from “the other” to magically grow from it’s Modern Liberal version of “The Beginning of The End”.
They’re coming! Tune that frequency in! Help me. I like Mr. President! Me first! I’m smart! I’m moving to Russia!

You’re worse than deranged — you’re an idiot. I’ll offer up 2 examples of Republican epic failures about 30 years apart and all you have to do in rebuttal is merely find 2 similar examples where they aren’t being epic liars or fools. Sound fair? So….
This is from 2010
These are from around 1990
Your turn. I double-dawg dare you. Surely over a 30 yr period, it should be easy find just 2 examples of Republicans saying or doing something honest and smart.
“I double-dawg dare you.”
“I double-dawg dare you.” Let that sink in for a moment.
BitChie Butt Crack, you’re broke down.
Envision a future with a scar across your forehead, sipping greasy gin, and crying over Mr. President reruns.
And that song, “Take That Link and Shove It” applies. You’ve run into a cornfield of devils (Republicans) and it’s Bottoms Up Butt Crack. Rip!
“Your turn. I double-dawg dare you.” No.

Actually all he really had to do was respond in a coherent, smart and honest matter and that would have technically counted as an instance. He/it is a cautionary poster for why nobody smart, well-informed and ethical will vote Republican this November. Even if one has issues with a given Democratic candidate, and there are more than enough of those to spread around, Republicans in general offer no sane alternatives, just steps backwards if not outright nihilism
Goldstein is inside your head. Poor Goldstein.
I have to respectfully disagree with the tone of the commentators and author.
Barney Frank is an enraged toad who has slithered out of a cesspool to punish the world as retribution for his own demented perversions.
His defeat, God willing, would be a day of national triumph on a par with the defeat of his loathsome fellow traveler John Kerry.
Let’s not grant him an iota of respect by calling him anything less than the degenerate scum that he is.
Fellow Bostonian Jews-welcome to reality.Better late than NEVER!
There is still one danger. That is that the Democrats might steal the election. Look at Al Franken and what’s going on in different Democratic strong holds. Look for election machine fraud, ghost voting, voting by illegal aliens, voting by convicted felons, voter intimidation, and other things they can think of. Be alert, this is a big one! This is a situation where you need to have poll watchers, video tapes, and documentation.
From your lips to God’s ear (so to speak). On the ground here in MA-04 I tend to cautiously agree. I’ve been helping out Sean a bit and did 3 standouts last weekend. I was surprised by the support we received even in bluest-of-blue Newton. Not to say we didn’t get a few choice words and gestures, but far fewer than I expected. There is a distinct lack of Barney Frank yard signs and the momentum seems to be Sean’s way. I hope it’s enough.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Old habits are hard to break. Barney Frank is a habit in his district. He has several advantages. Not the least of which is, had he pulled a fraction of the stuff he has pulled and was a Republican, he would be toast.
The clear bias of the media, the burying of the stories, the distortion of the record…all go in Barney’s favor. For anyone with a conscience, Barney Frank after a valid inspection of his past record was exposed, would be impossible to support.
As with much of the far left, his instincts to undermine Israel and help this administration prepare for its “soft burial” as an ally…should have been the subject of a thousand essays. Instead, we got crickets chirping, as we always do.
If it’s within the ACORN/SEIU margin of fraud…if it’s still close enough for journolistas (See, Vodkapundit’s latest from Reuters, you won’t believe what Steve Green found)…that’s quite a hill to climb. Maybe those folks in that district will fool me. It would be a wonderful surprise and an instant character boost to a chamber that desperately needs one.
I’ve seen evidence of long-time Jewish Democrats turning on the Democrats out here in Henry Waxman-land. He’ll still have enough leftists in the district to not be in any trouble but some key Democratic groups are sour enough not to vote. Frank’s district still includes some non-Yuppie neighborhoods and the low turnout of his core and the high turnout of the people who blame him for the housing crisis and want him gone will sink him. Only the defeat of Barbara Boxer will make me happier.
If MA-4 can get rid of the corrupt Frank, then please favor us out here in WA state getting rid of the embarrassing Patty Murray.
We are in uncharted territory. The best pollsters like Rasmussen and the Gallup organization are similar to a blind man stumbling around in a crowded room. They will candidly concede that their voter turn out models may leave much to be desired. These well respected individuals are only making highly educated guesses. Allow me to be bold—and perhaps ultimately foolish. I am predicting the GOP pick up of 11 U.S. Senate seats and 90 House seats. Barney Frank will likely be a victim of the Republican onslaught.
Why am I so optimistic? In 1994 the generic vote had the Republicans roughly tied with the Democrats. This year even the most pessimistic assessment has the GOP up by five points. That sounds like looming landslide to me.
Do you mean by the Kennedy School of Government, a place in the cemetery beside Teddy D-Chivas? If Frank should be thrown out on his tin ear, he should be put on the hot seat in the very chamber where he stole from the American people.
From your mouth…
Please, please, please, I hope you’re right. Let’s pray that Bielat doesn’t blow it in the closing days.
If Barney loses, it will be because it’s been so unthinkable that the mechanism for cheating is not well formed, making the margin of fraud less a factor. It also helps that parts of the district are so small town honest, and lean more conservative or “purple” than you might suspect. I live in one of them.
Simply not happening. It may be close, but I do not see the Jewish populations of Newton and Brookline turning on the only Jewish member of the Massachusetts congressional delegation. More likely they feel under siege and will turn out for Frank in high numbers.
Brown won the district, but there was no Jewish candidate in that race. Reagan won Massachusetts, but don’t forget he was Irish, and had that ethnic solidarity going for him as well. Were Bielat of Portuguese descent then maybe he could motivate the voters of Fall River enough to push him over the edge. Alas, he is not, and I’m afraid this race may not even be particularly close, much as I would like to see Bielat win.
All of the signs do point to the conclusion that you draw. But let’s not rest until that becomes a reality. We all need to go to http://www.byebyebarney.org or http://www.helpsean.mobi and help Sean Bielat on to victory.
I’m with a few others here. I too will believe it when I see it. First, it will take Sean Bielat to win by at least 5-7%.
That same ‘Dig Up the Vote’ group of liars, thugs and deviants that the Kennedy Klan always counted on hasn’t just disappeared from the earth. You can guarantee every degenerate Lib will be looking to fudge a few votes; many, if possible.
I don’t trust 25% of the citizens of this country anymore than I trusted Baghdad Bob’s truthfulness. And I don’t put anything past the sleaze that represents “progressive” (what a joke) politics anymore.
I treat them like the enemy because they are.

I wouldn’t be so pessimistic. I was at at a meeting for Sean and other candidates at a synagogue in Brookline this week. The room was full (about 90) and enthusiastic.
This would be the sweetest victory if it happens.
Don;t understand for the life of me why Sean hasn’t tagged him “Barney Bailout.” The gay thing doesn;t bother me in the least, I actually admire Frank for it. (Hey, I’m a genuine libertarian). But when financial reporters asked Frank about the secret discount window bailout pre-TARP he responded “Hey, I asked Geithner, he said everything was fine.” And when the Fed stonewalled the press on releasing the documents under the Freedom of Information Act, Barney Frank — and the media who cover for him /oops/ I mean cover him — just stayed silent.
He needs to be deposed from “his” seat in Congress, and Sean’s team should use Frank’s coziness with the beneficiaries of the bailout and his silence on the matter as a big stick.
If Barney Frank does lose (I still have my doubts), he can go spend time with his biological father, Elmer Fudd.
Fudd birthed Barney out of wedlock when he had an ill-advised drunken tryst with Petunia Pig (Porky has never forgiven Elmer).
Fudd is an old-fashioned homophobe who bemoaned the fact that “he nevuh took Bawney to Wed Sox games and nevuh went Wabbit hunting wid him — Boo hoo hoo!”
The two, however, have reconciled, and Barney even got his old man a job at Fannie Mae as head of security.
There are two main reasons why most Jewish Americans vote for the Democrats.
First of all, the vast majority of Jewish Americans come from families that escaped the pogroms of Eastern Europe, where the Jews were persecuted by rural, religious, nationalistic Christians. When these Jews came to America, they settled in big cities and were happy to be back in an urban environment, which is where Europe’s Jews lived for centuries in countries like Spain, Italy, France, Germany, England, etc, before they were expelled from these countries and forced to move to the boondocks of Eastern Europe. So these Jews and their descendents have a knee jerk suspicion of rural, religious, nationalistic Americans, who define the modern day Republican party. They fail to understand that America is not Europe, and the special bond that exists between the American people and the Jews means that religious, nationalistic Americans are the best friends the Jews have ever had in their entire history.
The other reason also relates to the idea of the Jews being happy to be back in an urban environment when they came to America. Throughout their history, the Jews valued education, and were very interested in the arts and sciences. However, in the boondocks of Eastern Europe, the quality of Jewish education suffered and Jews became estranged from their cultured past. Most Jewish immigrants were working class laborers who were sympathetic to socialism because they were told, back in Eastern Europe, that socialism would put an end to antisemitism (and ALL forms of oppression and inequality, blah, blah, blah). So these immigrants aligned themselves with the urban working class Catholics who supported the party of the working man.
But the children and grandchildren of these immigrants became doctors, lawyers and businessmen. The freedoms afforded to Jews in America inspired them to dive back into the world of the arts and sciences with great zeal. And in the aftermath of the social movements of the 1960s, when the Democrat party made its pivot from party of the working class to the party of the smart, enlightened, kind hearted, hip, urban elitists (who DON’T want to send us back to the days of Jim Crow, barefoot and pregnant women, gays in the closet, etc), this new generation of noveau riche, noveau educated Jews were more than happy to raise their hands and say “I’m smart, I’m enlightened, I’m not a redneck goyishakop, I’ve got season tickets to Lincoln Center”. At the same time, they have the memory of their parents and grandparents supporting the party of the working man. So there’s no group of Americans more in sync with the Democrat party’s transformation than the Jews.
Thanks Fop, that was a very insightful and informative post.
Just got off the phone with my son in MA. We were talking about how Bawney’s been able to keep his power because of the gerrymandered district (another HUGE isssue the Tea Party needs to address and not let go of) designed to keep him in power – it perfectly carves out all the most liberals areas – the trust-funders in Wellesley and Newton, who live in a perpetual la-la land of 60′s flashbacks and fantasies, down to the drugged artists and gay 24-hour bathouse owners of Provinetown on the Cape. But even still, looks like he will have to reopen his gay brothel for underaged boys to keep himself active in his retirement years.
Gerrymandering occurs on both sides of the political spectrum – has for decades. For every Barney Frank there is a corresponding Tom Delay to deal with. (Delay used Gerrymandering in Texas to increase the number of Republicans in the Texas State Senate.) His shenanigans were upheld by the SCOTUS in League of United Latin American Citizens v. Perry, 548 U. S. 399 (2006). As long as the redistricting isn’t obviously discriminatory against minorities it is allowed. Why don’t you offer up some discussion on intelligent alternatives? Got a better idea? Or do you just use these forums to get in a swipe at gays? Demonstrably you have chosen the latter.
@Nate – You are right about the gerrymandering. Curiously enough a large contingent of my family resides in DeLay’s old district. My brother is very active in the Republican Party there and he and many were disgusted with him on issues like this. This is the essence of the Tea Party – we are tired of the games, the lies, the hypocrisy, the corruption, the statism- in both parties. You still don’t get it? Wake up. The robotic mantras, the played-out narratives, the sophomoric, contrived dictates of neo-Marxism that your adddle-brained ex-SDS professor spoonfed you are as relevant as the Luddites are today. It’s over. You’re done. And spitting out contrived connivances such as “homophobe” won’t work either. Unless you define using taxpayer money to run gay brothels, and grabbing the fannies of executives at Fannie Mae while you lie to Congress and the American people of it’s financial solvency as “homophobe.” Yes, I and millions of Americans are tired of the games. My MA. sons were never involved in politics. But the blatant malfeaseance and misuse of the trust of office of the people of Massachussetts by Barney Frank was one reason they are now active Tea Partiers, donators to Sean Bielat. Got it?
Yeah, yeah. Tea Party, Tea Party. Barney Frank is gay. I get it.
The problem I have with the Tea Party is the lack of developed ideas. I asked for some alternatives to the Gerrymandering issue and you start in with the “Tea Party”.
Reminds me of Rudy Giuliani’s reflexive “9/11″ to every question.
I don’t agree with the idea of putting forth (and actually electing) people who will figure it out when they get there. Seems backwards to me. Other than that, I have nothing against the idea of changing the system.
Actually the Provincetown district is in the Massachusetts 10th congressional district not the 4th. The Barney Frank district is a classic gerrymandered district but just doesn’t include any of Cape Cod. In fact the 4th Congressional district stops at New Bedford and doesn’t take in any of the actual Cape.
The gap started to narrow when some bloggers began paying attention and analysing the responsabilities that Barney Frank had during the financial crisis.
One particular blog narrates the fact that Barney was the ultimate promoter of the housing crisis. One can read it at http://robbingamerica.blogspot.com/2010/10/barney-frank-face-of-crisis.html
“Barmey Frank – The Face of a Crisis”.
Nothing would give me more pleasure than to see Barney Frank go down in defeat Next Tuesday night. Well, maybe Harry Reid getting the ax.
But remember what Harvey Keitel said in “Pulp Fiction”" “Let’s not (start congratulating ourselves) just yet.”
as someone here has already pointed out, Sean Bielat’s margin of victory will have to be greater than the margin of Democrat voter fraud

I do live in Massachusetts (4th District) and will most certainly be voting for Barney Frank. He’s great. But more than that – Sean Bielat represents the standard for everything I’m against. From his website this morning:
1. Wants to reduce taxes on all businesses small AND large.
2. Wants to reduce funding for Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
3. Prioritize the military over the “Welfare State”.
4. Flat tax for all individual tax payers.
5. Private solutions on the environment. (Although he does promote alternative energy solutions he would rely on corporations to do it. So again, only if there is profit to be made do we address the environment.)
6. Wants to “Seal the borders” but generally punts on immigration reform.
7. Health care – promotes tort reform but won’t say it. “Bring down liability insurance costs for doctors.” Supports using Medicare to help “those who fall between the cracks” – not sure how you do that when you’re cutting the funding….well, none of this makes sense to me…
8. Panders to the Jewish vote.
9. Against DADT
10 Against gay marriage.
Standard support for the Corporate Overlords and pandering to the Social Conservatives. Hides his Harvard Education (I couldn’t find it on the website.) Pandering to the “anti-liberal elite”. Blah, blah, blah.
People in Massachusetts know what they stand for and won’t stand for this nonsense.
Nate:
I am guessing you are Jewish so see FOP above.
I happen to agree with you about Massachusetts voters. The majority are Socialist to the core. Socialists always think they are the smartest people in the room but they are usually some of the dumbest people in the room. Socialism is a shill for sociopaths who managed to murder 100+ million people in the 20th Century. Jews always eventually end up on the murder list.
Sounds like ten solid reasons to vote FOR Bielat.
I live in Massachusetts. And a Frank fall is pallatable in the fall air . Very much like Scott Brown, a Bielat win seems to be boiling just below the surface. And like brown most of the polls cannot measure what seems to be out there. The media such as the Boston Globe are almost shrill in pushing Barney Frank . They contrive to help Frank and are doing their very best to silence Bielat. Yet much like Scott Brown election media soverup and support for Frank doesn’t seem to be working. Frank remains below 50 % . But Frank has a lot of money. If you really want Bielat to win, then send him money.
Hi Nate,
1) reducing taxes on business = reduce costs = lower prices for consumers. why are you against lower prices for goods and services ?
2) Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are projected to be in massive deficit soon (Social Security already is running a deficit) so unless someone lends the US billion more these programs have to get cut. Do you disagree ?
3) The government is responsable for the defense of the country. It is in the constitution, whereas the “welfare State” isnt mentioned at all. Do you think we dont have any enemies and dont need a military ? Or do you think that more welfare benefits can defend the country ?
4) Do you think the income tax is perfect ?
5) What in particular do you think the government can do better than private free enterprise ?
6) Do you think we should have open borders, so anyone can walk into the United States with no checks at all ? If so can they say as long as they want ?
7) Why is tort reform for malpractice bad ? Do you think everything is fine when doctors have to in pay excess of $100,000 for insurance to practice each year. Do you think it is a good use of money for doctors to order expensive tests for no reason except to protect themselves against malpractice suits ? Dont you see that these are costs which add nothing to health care and can be cut safely and easily ?
Medicaid could be expanded to include all who cant otherwise qualify for medical help for far less money than it will cost to increase coverage by means of Obamas massive takeover/destruction of US healthcare. What is so difficult to understand about that ?
8) Are you are pro-palestinian and want to drive the jews out of the middle east ? Is why you think being pro-israel is pandering to Jews ?
9) Sean has seen active military service. Maybe he has cause to think DADT will cause problems . On basis do you think there wouldnt be problems ?
10) Lots of people think that marriage is between a man and a woman , most encylopedias and dictionaries agree. Why is it wrong to think so, and to continue to give words their naccepted and natural meaning ?
I used to live in Massachusetts and love the state. The politicans have always been unbelievably corrupt. Barney Frank has been one of the worst. Times are tough currently but I am going to send in a contribution to Sean Bielat and hope that this time the voters of Massachusetts 4th Congressional district chose the right man.
Who or What Is Barney Frank?
Democrat Congressman Barney Frank’s website gives this quickie introduction: “Barney Frank has been in Congress since 1981. He is the Chairman of the Financial Services Committee. Previously he was a Massachusetts State Representative and an assistant to the Mayor of Boston. He has also taught at several Boston area universities.”
Would that that were all that could be said about the representative of Massachusetts’ 4th c.d.
The second member of the United States House of Representatives to openly declare his homosexuality, in 1987, according to Wikipedia, Barney shares his Newton, MA. duplex with his current “partner,” Jim Ready of Maine when both are in town. Sister to Democrat Ann Lewis, DNC operative and advisor to Hillary Clinton in 2008, Barney’s net worth as of that year was claimed to be $972,150.
Not bad at all for a nice, Jewish boy from Bayonne whose father managed a truck stop and served a year in the clinker.
Wikipedia provides precious little other information about Barney’s “personal life” but does say, correctly, that, “He is considered to be one of the most powerful members of Congress, which also makes him the most powerful homosexual in Congress and he’s never been reticent to exercise that power with gay legislation and causes.
What Wikipedia notably omits are references to the scandals of Rep. Barney Frank, principally consorting with a male prostitute, Steven Gobie, whom he later hired as a “personal assistant” and who used Barney’s Washington basement as a homosexual brothel. Barney’s fellow Dems didn’t see any of that as worthy of expulsion or even of censure.
It must be nice to work with good, Democrat buddies. . .

Barney must really hate this guy. He’s all the things Barney is not. But when he goes to sleep at night, Sean stirs all of Barney’s homoerotic feelings.
I am pro gay marriage and think homosexuality is just as much a part of our world as any other lifestyle. But I think Barney has hidden a lot of the responsibility for his corruption behind the politically correct label of being the first openly gay US Congressman. How much corruption do the US Taxpayers have to put up with to prove we are okay with homosexuals but not crooks?
Vote Barney Frank out of office and do America a favor.
Someone please tell me, how in the world can a person like this possibly pick up more than 10 votes? I mean establishment politicians have all but sold this country out and this guy is in the middle of all of it.
American Jews are for the most part, leftists FIRST, Jews only when convenient or profitable. Israel is of no consequence to the vast majority.
I sincerely hope that Barney Frank will be sent back to whatever rock he crawled out from. However, there are worse things than Barney Frank. It’s the mentality that would keep sending him back to Congress despite the havoc he has brought upon hard-working Americans who actually qualified to buy their homes.
I have a fear that Barney Frank will get re-elected. The real fear is the the people in Massachusetts are very much to the left and could care less what happens to the USA in the future so long as they vote a straight democrat ticket who cares.
Barney Frank is a crook and the people of Massachusetts know it and apparently don’t care.
Hmmmm, interesting prediction, Bob.
I predict that Rasmussen will never hire you to conduct polls, and that neither the Heritage Foundation, nor National Review, nor The Weekly Standard will never hire you as a politcal analyst.
BTW, didn’t you predict that McCain/Palin would win in a landslide, too?
Wishful thinking doesn’t constitute a prediction. Bearing that in mind as that applies to my prediction about your future, I could be wrong about you.
Barney Frank still going strong. Any improvements from people in MA after his re-election?
as someone here has already pointed out, Sean Bielat’s margin of victory will have to be greater than the margin of Democrat voter fraud
Is it too much to ask for a functioning senator from this state? The straight ticket voters are killing us with mindless voting.
