When a liberal doesn't lie about his intentions.

You printed:  Frank was finally so provoked that he claimed/admitted that when it comes to regulation, Democrats are "trying on every front to increase the role of government."

I've played that over and over and Frank distinctly says, "Democwats are twying on evewy fwont to incwease the wole of govewment."

All I ask is that you be accurate.

Gun Control - The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her own pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.

Conservatives have been warning people that this is what Liberals want to do for decades.  And for decades, liberals have been denying it.

For once, Frankie-boy was stung into being HONEST.   You heard it folks - this is what he and all his cohorts on the left are fighting to do.  Make government, bigger, more intrusive, more tyrannical - with liberal socialist/fascist totalitarians ruling the roost forever.

Clean house in 2010!!

The person that screwed up Katrina were the Governor's.  They have state juridiction.  Which is why they call them Governor's.  The most deadly of which was a DEMOCRATIC Governor of Louisiana with a DEMOCRATIC Mayor of New Orleans.

There is jack and sh|t in the US Constitution stating that the Federal government takes care of the States during a fictional or factual crisis ala natural disaster.

As for the rest, Barney Frank is the epitome of corrupt statism.  Few know about his boyfriend Director at Freddie/Fannie.  Few know that he's keeping the Community Reinvestment Act alive through Freddie and Fannie.  They are still handing out money at the tax payers expense.

Nothing has been fixed.  Carter and Clinton's laws are still in place.  But I think we all know it's too late.  We now owe $106,000,000,000,000.00.  The GDP of planet Earth for the next 10 years could not cover that debt.  Buy food, gold, and guns ladies.  Last one out get the lights.

Everytime I see an interview with Frank he is ALWAYS picking at his fingernails and complaining that he never gets a chance to respond.  Hey Barney, go see a manicurist and whine to her.

 Barney Frank is truely one of the most hateable people of all time in Congress. He is a corrupt statist as was pointed out ealier, & when called out, he projects against the person pointing it out. He is never happy, he can't take a compliment without fighting about it. He sucks, & so do those who vote for this idiot. 

The people of MA really need to examine why they vote for the likes of Frank, Kerry, & Kennedy election after election after elelction...they are damaging the nation greatly by doing so. Sad to see a state that was central to this nations founding has strayed way off the path & no longer understands the constitution that has made the USA what it is. That could be said about the northeast as a whole.

Ralph gets to luxuriate in the purity of his irrelevance, now that is rich coming from Twinky Frank.  He will see and experience irrelevance like never before in 2010 when he is pushed to the back benches of the House.  I hope he will have to ask permission from the Right to go to the "little boys" room, and then will be told to shut up, sit down, and listen and go at the end of the session!

Why mislead people?

he said they're trying to increase the roll of government in the the financial regulatory market. that headline doesn't tell people that they're talking about the banking industry. 

every economists (and i know many) thats not an ideologue says that lax regulation in the insane derivatives market as well as other securities markets caused this mess we're in now. these wall st guys and these big banks should never have been allowed to do what they did with our money then get BAILED OUT BY US!!! 

how can anyone here argue regulation? unless you're bought and paid for by the big banks.  the big banks think they should be able to do whatever they want to make a quick buck even if that means leveraging themselves 50/1 on toxic assets.

why are people on the side of the big banks? they can't defend themselves with their billion dollar salaries and their hundreds of millions in lobbying?  i wish i could buy my congressman to get him to do whatever i wanted. but then i'd be a scum bag and part of the problem like the banking lobby is. 

support the billionaires  seems to be the mantra of people who oppose any regulation. 

A big part of the CDS problem was the process by which credit ratings were assigned to them, as well as bundled mortgages. The creators of the CDS were paying the credit bureaus (Moody's, S&P, Fitch, others) to assign them ratings, a corrupted process. Had meaningful ratings been assigned, purchasers would have better understood their risk and the CDS would have been much less popular.

You can call that lack of regulation or lack of due diligence on the part of the creator, the buyer, or the credit agency, or all of the above.

"Along the way, Barney resorted to his tried-and-true technique of hitting his host for having the temerity to cut short one of his long-winded harangues."

If I'm not mistaken, you meant to say "twied-and-twue technique."

And Barney delivers "long-winded hawangues."
