" Frank " ly Speaking

Well I must say that I'm appalled ( but not at all surprised ) by congressman Barney Frank's act at his town hall meeting yesterday . The only surprising thing to me is that the so called ' Anti-American dissenters were even allowed in the building . I thought for sure Dartmouth , Mass. would be the East coast version of Obama's Montana town hall . Nothing but softballs lobbed up by human teleprompters to be smacked out of the park . Much to my surprise the senior center in Dartmouth , Mass. appeared to be filled with actual Americans with real , pertinent questions .

It might have been a refreshing example of an elected public servant debating an issue with those he represents , but unfortunately the official in question was none other than one Barney Frank . That's right good old B. Frank was on the scene . Now I'll admit that many of the 500 plus in the crowd were upset and bitter but do you blame them ? The administration has already rammed the Omnibus , and Stimulus down our throats and have now moved right on into health care . A 1000 plus page bill that many have admitted to not even reading .

So when the concerned constituents in Dartmouth started to ask Mr. Frank some hard questions , how did he respond ? Like so .



and like this




Now if you want to say to me that the woman asking the question about Hitler like policies is an idiot herself well then ............... O.K. But at least she was in control of her own emotions and asked her question directly . ( also did you notice that not many people in the crowd even flinched when she held up her sign and invoked the Nazism ? ) So how did B. Frank respond ? Like he always does . Not in any way , shape , or form answering the question . Instead he attempts to completely belittle the woman by asking what planet she resides in and then compares speaking with her to quote " arguing with a dining room table " very nice Mr. Frank .

Furthermore several times during the two and half hour session Mr. Frank lectures the crowd on the politeness of proper debate . What ? Really ? This is a man who has made a career out of responding to any and all criticism by raising his voice and spewing an unintelligible stream of belligerent nonsense . Especially when confronted by his own statements !

Don't believe me ? Lets go to Harvard then ......................




Did you see that ? The man can not even answer a simple question without belittling the questioner ( a young college student ) and blaming Bush , and everyone else he can think of . The kid asked him this ... " do you think that you have any responsibility for the sub prime mortgage crisis ? " and Frank immediately calls the kid disingenuous before he rolls into an unintelligible rant blaming everyone but himself . As always Mr. Frank ( having no answers for his own behavior ) answers a question with a stream of questions . The kid asked him 4 times a simple question and never got an answer .

How do morons like this come into power ? For that matter how do they stay in power ? This guy's act is worse than any other politician I can think of . What are we supposed to devotedly sit in silence to hear the awe inspiring words of Barney ' freaking ' Frank ? As if his words are beyond reproach ?

I'm not sure I have ever heard Barney Frank answer a question directly . So way to go Dartmouth . Keep it up , and for the love of god Massachusetts vote this arrogant radical out of office before the weight of his own hubris crushes your great state .

Honesty is good so lets not be Frank .
