Do you agree with Barney Franks' statement that he made earlier this week that the financial crisis?

Question

is entirely the fault of "racist Republicans"?
This is what good old Barney said at a Boston symposium on Monday of this week
claiming that Republicans were so happy to see the poor defaulting on their mortgages and losing their homes and the fact that they're black is just icing on the cake.
I kidd you not, this is the actual mindset of Barney Frank
And this guy is going to be re-elected of course?
The same Barney Frank that was running a male prostitution ring out of his apartment a few years back featuring 14 year olds?
Such quality people in DC running our nations business?

Answer 1

Barney Frank belongs in a federal prison

where he can have all the free sex he wants

with the homeboys

he sure doesn't belong in the nations capitol

Answer 2

Barney Frank was investiaged by the FBI and they found that he didn't do anything legally wrong. He was Cleared.

I am not to pleased with someone who can't admit to their own wrong doing.

HOwever let's all get a reality check here. The only people who can take Barney out of office are the ones from his district.



So strange that people want to kick this dude that dude, the other dudette out of office but they aren't checking to see how their own persons who they voted into office is doing and how they are voting. Because that's the only thing they have the slightest control over.



Barney didn't make this mess soley on his own and as stated the FBI cleared him.

Answer 3

Barney Franks should be thrown in jail along with Chris Dodd.

The democrats turned a blind eye toward Fannie and Freddie when the Republicans tried to warn about the risk that Fannie and Freddie posed. All they wanted to do was to continue getting money from these two corrupt organizations.



I don't know if you have seen this video, but it is really damaging to the dems.

Answer 4

You don't want to know what I think of Barney Frank. But he is not alone. No one man caused this crisis. We can't blame it on Barney Frank or Nancy Pelosi or George W. Bush. It's government gone wild that's at fault. When social engineers get involved in business, when they impose a social component on mortgage lenders' credit standards, they destroy the so-called free markets.



How are poor blacks losing "their" homes? You don't "own" your home until you have PAID for it. Barney Frank pandered to black voters by making it possible for many of them to "qualify" for mortgages because of their race rather than their ability to pay. He did them no favor.



Who is so happy about seeing poor blacks default on their mortgages? When my neighbor, black or white, defaults and his lender sells his house at auction, and at an auction price, I lose 25 percent of the value of my house. And I lose confidence in my government, comprised of stupid politicians who will sell me out in a second to get your vote -- just as they will sell you out in a second to get my vote.



The currency of politicians is votes. They will do ANYTHING for votes. I would like Barney Frank to tell me, face to face, that I am happy to see my neighbors losing their homes. You wouldn't recognize his face a few seconds after he said that.

Answer 5

Barney was too busy playing "box the tonsils" with his boyfriend, an employee of Fannie Mae to have any room to talk. He is one of the major causes of this disaster.

Answer 6

Barney Frank is a moron. I can't believe that people actually vote for him.



Notice how none of the Congressional investigations have focused on Frannie and Freddie? It's because people like Barney Frank would be indicted for their misdeeds and manipulation of the system.

Answer 7

Barney Frank is one of the top 3 guilty parties in the Fannie/Freddie melt-down.

Answer 8

Barney Frank is knee deep in all the **** that is going down. I must commend O'Reilly when he went after Barney Frank on his show. These Politicians are truly DISGUSTING.



Heads should be hanging, and that includes ALL POLITICIANS who were involved along with the CEO's

Answer 9

Actually it's the fault of the Fed.
