Heres the guy who said he wanted to roll the dice on this subprime mortgage thing.He still claims he did not see the collapse of fannie and freddie.Good to see he says he is done.Now if only Nacy would do the same.



Barney Frank Announces He Will Retire At End Of Term | Fox News

I listened to it but couldn't understand a word he said. He always sounds like he has something in his mouth.

You know the problem with bad cops? They make the other 5% look bad.

Saying that Barney was honest was REALLY funny! LOL!! I also heard that a total, so far, of 16 long time house members are not running again. The majority of those are democrats. Don't know if that was true. I have not had a chance to research that report.

Barny frank honest???????He cried racism when bush was pushing for new regulations onf fannie and freddie.That is when he said he wanted to roll the dice.He said in 10 that he was against the bush white house in their push for home ownership.He said he always belived that people should have been renting and that is what he pushed for.Yet you see in the video not so honest was he.He says he was one of the only ones fighting for reforms in banking all along.Yet he says he never seen the collapse coming.Why in the world would he fight for new regulations when he saw nothing wrong with the way the companys were running?

Franks saying nothing wrong at F&F starts around 454

All anyone has to do is research and they see that Franks fought every attempt to put new regulations in place.Yet now if you listen to him he was the only one pushing to reform them.Yeah thats honest for you.

Think I read 11 of them to retire are democrats.

Would you say the same if he was the first self-confessed hit man in congress, or the first admitted child molester or dope dealer? That he is open about his perversion doesn't improve it.

Barney was not the first "openly gay" person in the House, Gary Studds was. He was elected in 1973. Frank was not elected until 1981.

Studds was from MA as is Frank. Admitting to being gay is not difficult in that State compared to many others.

Franks had a brothel being run out of his basement and he "claimed" he had no idea. Now, why do I find that hard to believe.


Studds liked to play with congressional pages. He still got reelected in MA.

I'm not sure honest is the category I would put him in. I am surprised the Occupiers haven't went after him. He basically ran freddie and fanny into the ground and continues to destroy it right up to today. Just like the banks, he is giving out huge bonuses and at the same time asking for more bailout money because they are in the red. Where's the Occupiers?
Oh yeah, selective protesting.:rolleyes:
Glad he is going. Not because he is gay, but did and continues to rip off the taxpayer.
