    ...A sitting congressman re-elected after his boyfriend is busted for running a male prostitution ring out of the congressman’s condo? Amazing. Re-elected after it’s discovered another boyfriend helps run a major money-losing government agency “regulated” by the congressman’s committee? Astounding. But after a third boyfriend is busted for growing pot while you’re sitting on his front porch?...

    ...
    While party loyalists insist that Frank’s district is heavily Democratic, the 71-year-old congressman admitted yesterday he’s stepping down because his newly drawn district would be harder to win.
    “I would have had to work very hard,” said Frank, who has served in Congress for 32 years and faced a brutal re-election battle in 2010. “I think I would have won, but I do know this — it would have been a tough campaign.”
    The new district was stripped of New Bedford — a pro-union stronghold — as well as eight other liberal-leaning communities. In their place are more GOP-friendly towns such as North Attleboro, Franklin, and Wrentham — some of which were in U.S. Sen. Scott Brown’s district when he was a state senator....


    Good riddance, to one of the most despicable men who ever made law.

    Agree. This is a man that has no shame. Cannot blush.

    I hope Barney gets a realization of the Gospel. He is worth the blood of Jesus.

    Not to be difficult bit no one is. That is what makes grace so sweet. But God wants him to come to Him the same as anyone.

    Being a creation of God, Barney Frank is most definetly worth the price Jesus paid. Love thinks the best.

    He is a good reminder of why liberals need to be exposed, and defeated. This despicable man has lied, obstructed, impuned, and bullied this country's economy and damaged it like few others could.

    And here's a sobering thought....Maxine Waters gets his seat on the banking committee. Wouldn't hurt to nominate a good conservative to take her out of congress.
