Personally, I think the whole obsession with Barney Frank has more to do with repressed homosexual tendencies than politics.

Apparently in the last election they didn't like him as much as in the past elections. He only got 54% of the vote in a heavy democratic district. Maybe he feels that he has a good chance of losing this time around. |

That 54% cared what he did for his district, not the country.
You should care what he did for the commercial fishing in your town, other than dying tourism, its about the only thing keeping it afloat. |

I didn't say the country. Since they re-lined the state districts he does not have that heavy democratic base. You should give up drinking or smoking the weed while reading a post.
He was only a man of words when it came to the fishing industry, same as John Kerry, Bruce Tarr and Studds.
Tourism today is a small part of the city, we have a very good non polluting industrial base in the city.
You must also be a fan of Elizabeth Warren too. She is a product of Lubchenco the head of NOAA.
Do not forget to leave your 25 bucks when you visit our beaches.  |

Since you mentioned Barney helping the fishing industry in your first post to me, you really think that the rule & law above really helped the fishermen.
In his 30 odd years that you say he has helped the fishing industry, it has been decimated, putting thousands out of work and people losing boats and homes. He has done as good a job with the fishing industry as he had done withFannie Mae & Freddie Mac.
Show me a fishing bill that he has campaigned for and passed that would have help the New England fishery.
Next you will tell me that he invented the internet, not Al Gore.
