Barney Frank to be married

[CowboyBob]

Barney Frank, representative from Massachusetts and his partner of 6 years, Jim Ready, have announced their engagement.

I'm happy for the couple and wish them a long and happy life together.

Now the rest of the States need to follow and make marriage legal for all their citizens.

Congrats to Barney Frank and his partner.

I think he's timing it because he will be returning to Massachusetts for good soon. He is retiring from Congress.

His district's boundaries has been changed and it's now much more Republican leaning. They took out his most Democratic-leaning areas near Boston and replaced it with Republican-leaning suburbs.

The Republicans are planning to take Barney Frank's former seat.

Congratulations to the couple.

Is this the guy who was running the whore house out of Frank's basement?

If so, not a great thing in making gay marriage accepted by more people.

Yep. Leave it to you to pour shit on everything. Christ, you're a downer.

LOL.

Jack, I was going to say the same thing too, but I was trying to be nice..

At least Barney Frank is retiring. That's good news...

[rareboy]

I don't see much difference between a whore house in the basement or in Congress and the Senate.

[chrisrobin]

... but I was trying to be nice.

Must be quite a strain.

At least Barney Frank is retiring. That's good news...

At least? What is that supposed to mean? Why is it good news?

Barney Frank is retiring.

Perhaps you should follow suit.
Go grab some Chik-Fil-A. It might make you feel better.

As least Barney is marring his companion. Can't say the same for republican politicians and republican supporters. They tap their shoes in airports, solicit rent boys and snort meth with muscular hookers all the while they're condemning homosexuality.

Some even disguise male prostitutes as reporters and allow them access to the White House.

Go Barney and Jim!

What's wrong with whore house?

It is 1000 times more moral than white collar crimes.

congrats to frank and his partner.

maybe they can run a brothel for wayward and closeted republicans who then propose/cast anti-gay measures just to make their sinful souls feel right with god again.

Reckon he isn't my congressman anymore since I moved but I severely doubt that his new district will go R in November.

he's not running again, is he?

I thought I remember a clip on the Daily Show blasting him for not running for reasons that basically amounted to "I'd have to actually campaign for reelection."

No, he's not running again.

Perhaps the bolded part confused you. I can see how it might have.

[maxpowr9]

Honey, I have lived in MA my entire life, I know more than enough about my state and its' politics. Scott Bielat, the former republican who challenged him in 2010 plans on running again for Frank's seat. I just hope they the Kennedy who was eyeing Frank's seat does not win it and Setty Warren goes for it and gets the nomination for Ds.

Republicans won't have a shot I'm sorry to say.

And at least he'll be retiring? Doesn't sound like something really nice at all. He is a good man and he did a good job in his time. But I guess the GOProuders don't like him.

[chance1]

Barney is a meanie - and has shown his nasty side so many times - many captured on tape - check out youtube

and has a very checkered past

congrats to him on his marriage though

always a good thing

[GiancarloC]

You know who is a meanie and nasty? Check out some of the tea party republicans who called him homophobic names. What's his checkered past? Some unsupported allegations about his boyfriend?

He said he had no knowledge of what he was doing. And I think Prostitution should be legal anyways. So I have no qualms about that.

I guess doing a guy in a bathroom is better... at least that guy was a republican.

Barney Frank is a lot of things

STUPID is not one of them

the guy was running a prostitution ring from Barney's home

think YOU would miss that?

it's a top 10 TIME thing - sorta like Sportscenter's Plays of all time

[GiancarloC]

Barney Frank didn't commit any wrong doing. So I guess that shoots your argument in its foot (once again)? But the guy who led the vote to censure him was no other then the guy found in the bathroom Frank did nothing wrong.

[chance1]

^ wow - thanks for helping me make my point

your blind allegiance is sorta OBLC-esque

how about this?

when he did a Janet Jackson imitation

[chance1]

just read that Barney got his FORMER live-in lover a job at Fannie Mae

LOL

small world

I guess GiancarloC might suggest that Barney didn't know his live in lover

Where is my blind allegiance? I'm not even a registered democrat. Kinda ironic coming from you. Any more red herrings or character attacks? Or are you going to engage in a discussion on the issues yet?

Nope,Barney isn't ''a meanie'',Chance. He just doesn't play games with lying,shit talking right wing extremists..

Calling someone out of thier nonsense doesn't make them mean..Anyways,it's not like his detractors on the right have gone out of their way to be civil with him..Have they?

He's just a lot better when it comes to giving it back to them..

[Knucklehead]

Umm,yes he does..

If they don't like it,don't dish it out..

Rules is rules..

Surely by now that is merely a rhetorical question?

u like Barney cuz ur "like Barney"

keep shuffling my man

haven't seen u in these parts in a spell

[chance1]

what part of "current" events and politics don't you get ?

meowing in the wind again?

but since u brought it up blind loyalty is the only excuse for thinking that Barney Frank, who is anything but dumb, didn't know that his "boyfriend" was turning tricks in his apt.

Anyone that didn't know his house was being used for a whore house is either stupid or lying.

If he's that stupid, he should be digging ditches somewhere and then filling them back in.

Unless you were one of their whores or johns how do you know anything?

Newsflash...I'm not a republican..I don't poniticate about others what other people should do with their hard ons..I could give less than a fuck if he was getting teabagged by young whores hanging from the chandeliers of his house..Lucky him...

You see,Barney Frank,as far as I know, has never made his views on prostitution a part of his platform..Nope,republican politicians (and Elliot Sptizer) seem to have a lock on that --all the while, being among the best customers a whore could want..That's why I don't care.He never rammed it down anyones throats..Can't say the same about a long list of other right wingers though that seem obsessed with who you're fucking and what hole you're sticking it in..

My guess is he's probably lying about it..Most people would. After that,I never gave it another thought..I'm not a member of the hard on police..

[Knucklehead]

Hey,I've been called worse..I like Barney cause he's real.You know where you stand with people like him.

I admire that and try my best to let people know where they stand with me when it matters.

Not a real big fan of nuanced language as it relates to people..I like it cut and dry and right to the point.

[SonOfSlobone]

Mrs Frank's kinda hot looking...

[MajorJake101]

Congratulations for the couple!!! Really happy for them.

No, you see... GOP'er's like their screwing out in the open.

To hell with Planned Parenthood, (who prevent more conceptions than they terminate.... BY FAR...)

To hell with those inner-school teachers and their fancy five figure salaries, trying to teach today's youth a way out of their poverty.

To hell with those misguided folks that think billionaires ought to pay their far share in taxes. (After all, they're the "job creators" !)

To hell with unions that insist on a decent day's pay for a day's work, (and then have the gaul to ask for health insurance to keep their families healthy and alive...)

Hell, NO !

Barney Frank allegedly ran a "whore house" out of his basement, and Republicans find it SO distasteful when the fact that they like their dicks sucked by some some pretty young circuit boy to be left out in the open like that !

Why, it's an offense against America is what it is !

Now, let's get back to those God-awful teachers driving their 1990 Chevy's.

Those America hating whores.

ENOUGH ALREADY.
