whats the difference btween democrat barney frank and republican mark foley?

Question

barney frank ran a gay prostiute ring from the basement of his home yet he didnt resign, he hired a gay prostitute and liked it so much he gave the guy a job and movrd him in, why didnt he resign

Answer 1

Barney Frank did nothing immoral or illegal:

• He did his deeds with *consenting adults*

• It was never proven that he "ran a gay prostitute ring from the basement of his home" or anything of the sort.



What Mark Foley did was immoral and illegal:

• He solicited sex from underaged boys.



The difference is as clear as night and day. Republicans are screeching the name Barney Frank like a bunch of howler monkeys because they're in damage control mode. It's always funny to see Republicans in damage control mode because they become so childish when they get caught.

Answer 2

I fail to work out how this takes any blame or duty removed from the main important function Barney Frank's management performed in the own loan disaster. Barnie Frank by using ways replaced into in a courting with then Fannie Mae government, Frank Moses from 1987 -1998. He additionally won $40 two,350 in marketing campaign contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac between 1989 and 2008. one greater reason we could desire to vote those existence long incumbents out of workplace.

Answer 3

The difference is the democrats celebrate their sex offenders and temporarily develop moral outrage when it is a republican .

Besides the prostitution ring out of his apartment , Barney Franks fixed dozens of parking tickets and still refused to resign .

Like Clinton , Franks is celebrated for his perversion . In 2004 -if you can believe this :Franks was named the most intelligent Democrat in the House of Representatives .

The drive-by media encourages and promotes this lunacy .

Answer 4

First, was it ever proven that Congressman Frank hired a prostitute? Second, was the individual with whom he was involved below the legal age of consent at the time of the incident? Neither of these questions can be honestly answered in the affirmative, and the second question in particular is why Foley resigned in disgrace and is in a heap of trouble and Congressman Frank is still in office.

Answer 5

The difference is that the Republicans want to give an

image that homosexuality is against their God & that they

Never do anything wrong.

The Democrats are made of all kinds of people & that's

the way we like it. Barney Frank was 15 yrs., ago.

Apparently, we were able to learn from it.

Answer 6

The sad thing about this issue is the fact that a person's private life was attacked by finger pointing self-proclaimed gods that think every person should live by their standards. The worst of these people are so-called religious people, especially religious politicians, of whom refuse to mind their own goddamn business, they're the real problem. 16 yr olds are NOT children, nor minors, that's what the brainwashing false gods of religions and governments misled you into believing, and so long as a persons-(regardless of age) personal choices are CONSENSUAL then so be it.

Answer 7

Barney Frank was openly homosexual, never charged with prostitution or for any other related crime, and therefore didn't need to resign because he had done nothing wrong.

Answer 8

The big difference, is the fact that Foley actions were to minors and frank it was consenting adults. not saying anything yeah or ney for either only the difference. But minors versus consenting adults, does make a difference to me.

Answer 9

Barney Frank is a lib democrat, as is 90% of the media, therefore did not have a target painted on his back. The're both sick, but the media and the dems would never go after one of their own.

Answer 10

I'm sure there are a lot of perverts on both sides.



I think the Elite aspect of their lifestyles foments perversion more than the Democratic or Republican aspects of it.

Answer 11

Barney Frank wasn't involved with underage children and Mark Foley is. Foley is a pedophile... just imagine what would happen to him if he had to go to jail?

Answer 12

Democrats have a entitlement mentality, it doesn't matter how bad they are or what crimes they commit, they feel they are entitled to the position they have. Republicans can be just as bad, but they believe there are consequences for poor performance. I'm with you, Independent, but between these two parties, it's hard to tell whose worse anymore.

Answer 13

The difference:

Foley only wrote e-mails about having gay sex.

Barney Frank has had gay sex for years, and still is.

The Democrats love Frank's gay sex and keep voting him back in office for years.

Many Democrat men in Frank's state are sexually attracted to him.

Answer 14

It is called a double standard. The Democrats can do anything they want but if a Republican does it that Republican must go.

Answer 15

good question. You'd have to ask Ol' Barney why he didn't resign, or better yet, ask the citizens of Massachusetts why they keep voting him in.

Answer 16

Barney Frank's lisp is more pronounced. Don't you know that liberals don't care what you DO only what you SAY.

Answer 17

I guess we should ask Barney why he didn't resign.

Answer 18

Barney Frank didn't resign and his situation is worse than Foley's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 19

barney's name is virtually never mentioned by the liberal media, that's the difference.

Answer 20

Please provide the link on this. You have a good point. I'm convinced that many in Congress and their party have strange behavior.

Answer 21

Because he is a Democrat and that is typical behaviour for them.

Answer 22

well....



I don't think they ever proved the barney frank thing... and it wasn't with 16 YEAR OLDS!!!! and it was 15 years ago and the only people who care are Republicans in massive spin control like you...

Answer 23

Hey - bud - your guy screwed up! Sorry!



You can throw the blame around all you want but YOUR guy screwed up, nor ours.
