The one guy that could be blamed for the bad economy… If you had to pick just one guy. It’s Barney Frank. And he’s getting out. People, this is the light at the end of the tunnel.
But he gets out with full retirement… he’s set for life. He should be jailed for life.
Bah. That flit would enjoy prison.
I would like to see him fired out of a cannon.
I would blame Greenspan more than anyone else, but you are entirely correct. Lock the lot of them up and throw away the key.
I think the total of Democrat US Congressmen who are retiring this cycle is up to 17. I think one of the reasons is that they can’t hide behind the Main Stream Media anymore. Words and Video over the internet has been poll killing them even in Gerrymandered districts.
Frank may be gone, but any group of people that would vote for him despite his role with fanny/freddie and all the other garbage that makes ayn rand look like a genius are probably in a gerry mandered district, and also going to vote some other freak show in as well.
Something like 98% of all incumbents in the house win re-election each cycle. Even though I think that Nancy Pelosi should be fired out of orbit, the people of San Francisco seem to think that she is great. Congress’s approval level is very low, but everyone likes their own congress person.
They just re-districted. He was pretty sure that, with the new district, he would lose. So he retired rather than run and lose…
