67. Like when Barney Frank took to the floor to denounce him
Edited on Sun May-15-05 06:01 AM by TayTay
Barney Frank led the floor fight against Tom Delay and his unconstitutional interference in the Terry Schiavo case in March. Rep Frank is a liberal voice in the US House against Delay and the Republican agenda of interference in personal family and sexual matters.

Rep Frank is also a great voice for the poor and politically unconnected in America. He was one of the 12 members of the Massachusetts Congressional delegation who voted against the recent Bankruptcy Bill. (Massachusetts was the only state that had every congressional delegate vote against his awful bill.)

Maybe you should research the record before you go making blanket accusations that are ludicrous and stupid. Barney Frank is not the enemy because he thinks Gov. Dean went too far in a political speech. Barney Frank is one of the bright lights in the Democratic Party because he goes the distance to help America fright for rights and liberties for all the people.

BTW, I was at that MA Convention and heard the speech. Gov. Dean did an excellent job. That said, it was injudicious of him to convict Tom Delay of crimes in advance. Gov Dean's language needs some fine-tuning. That does not mean I want to smear him or wish him ill. On the contrary, he must succeed in his mission of recharging the grassroots. I can disagree with the man without thinking he is anything but well-meaning in his intent.
