How does this man keep getting elected? It is a mystery to us westerners, although we have our own Harry Reid.

Barney Frank has and continues to be the congressman who has done the most disservice to this country. His influence on FNMA and Freddie Mac and blocking needed regulations only precedes the OneUnited intercession. He proves over and over his warped sense of responsibility to the congress and all taxpayers. He has earned the need to be impeached. He, Chris Dodd and Allen Greenspan are the core group of people who have created the current financial debacle. FNMA and Freddie Mac, Wall Street and mortgage lenders could not have fueled this housing expansion without the irreponsible decisions made by these three individuals. And now they ask ... who could have ever seen this coming? They should look in the mirror. They are responsible, especially Barney Frank.

With the US Gov under Fascist Democrat control I have ZERO faith the people responsible with pay any price. You wait and see. Pathetic.

Where is the 'yes we can change' that I so hoped to see? Change should be for the betterment of OUR COUNTRY, not limited to party lines. If the media do not start doing Watergate type investigations during these very hard times I will lose all faith in our system. It is very apparent that corruption lives within both party lines. That warm fuzzy feeling we all had during such a grand inauguration will soon turn to disgust and loss of hope if this continues. Please do not allow this to happen!

...that few care. Even those people he represents directly. I guess we get what we deserve.

What a shock (ha, ha). He's one of the prime movers of the housing crash and now he's trying to save (I'll bet) his donors who are in trouble. It amazes me that the people of Mass. keep electing this sort of vermin. But they do.
If they ever want to secede, I'm for it.

Barney Frank is one of the crooks who got us into this mess in the first place, and has been much more culpable that George W ever was. Now he's been found out. I'll bet that the liberal media never picks up this story.
