this is the same Barney Frank who said Fannie and Freedie were in fine shape when the republicans warned them back in 2004 about the coming housing bubble

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   August 18th, 2009 - 10:57 pm

America…I wish I could have been there with dear ol’ Barney!

America…these slugs are so “out of touch” with the “real” Americans speaking up and speaking out!

They don’t get it…so they call us names and accuse of things they themselves are guilty of.

Do not be dismayed…do not be discouraged…we are in the majority and they are in the minority and will be out of power soon!

The American people are finally waking up to what is happening here. A year ago there were few of us speaking up and speaking out…like small voices crying out in the wilderness…but now we have numbers…volumes of voices ringing out the message…

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   August 18th, 2009 - 10:57 pm

CONTINUANCE…

Bush did it the senate and congress where innocent of corruption. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwVWXN0Pyq4

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   August 18th, 2009 - 11:01 pm

Sorry…America…my fingers go faster than my brain.

the message…WE ARE MAD AS HELL AND NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!

Bilderberg Bush-Obama drew a line in the sand…daring us to cross it…and we have and we will until you are long gone and we get our country back!

Keep up the good work…the emails/calls/writing/showing up…doing it all to get our voices continually heard.

The Democratzi and Bilderberg Bush-Obama have had a chance these last 7 months and everything they have done has been detrimental to the American taxpayer and our existence as a Republic.

They need to go starting with the Commander n’ Chief!

Impeachment or the “original” Kenyan birth certificate…it is just a matter of time!

==========================

THE REVOLUTION OF THE SILENT MAJORITY – SILENT NO MORE!

1. GETTING INFORMED
2. GETTING INVOLVED

DON’T TREAD ON US…WE PAY YOUR BILLS IN WASHINGTON AND IN YOUR HOMES WHERE YOU WILL ALL BE GOING STARTING IN 2010 AND BEYOND…GUARANTEED!

DDuke   August 18th, 2009 - 11:05 pm

This video clearly shows that George Bush warned Congress starting in 2001, that this economic crisis was Coming, if something was not done. The video comes through Canada since the liberal leftists had it removed from the US. The link works at the time of this posting but who knows how long it will continue. 5.2 million views.

A warm fuzzy spam email from POTUS i love how they make me feel so needed

Allen –

President Obama is holding a live strategy meeting on Thursday at 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time for all Organizing for America supporters. I hope you can join us, online or by phone.

The President will update us on the fight to pass real health insurance reform — what’s happening in D.C. and what’s happening around the country. He’ll lay out our strategy and message going forward and answer questions from supporters like you. And we’ll unveil the next actions we’ll organize together.

This is a critical time in this President’s administration, and in the history of our country. I hope you can join us.

Here are the details:

What: Organizing for America National Health Care Forum

When: Thursday, August 20th, 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time

RSVP and submit a question for the President.

The President wrote to us a few weeks ago to ask us to go the extra mile this month in the fight for health insurance reform. And so far, you’ve stepped up in a big way: Last week, an astounding 60,000 Organizing for America volunteers stopped by representatives’ and senators’ local offices. You told your health care stories to staffers and members of Congress — of losing insurance after getting laid off, of being denied coverage upon finding out about a serious illness. And you thanked those supporting real health insurance reform for all the work they’ve done so far.

But these local office visits were only part of the story. The D.C. media has been trumpeting coverage of town halls disrupted by angry opposition to reform. But the reality on the ground is very different. Organizing for America supporters are showing up in huge numbers at these meetings all across the country — outnumbering opponents of reform, often by overwhelming margins.

You’ve organized 11,906 local events in all 50 states — from press conferences to community discussions — since we launched our big campaign for reform in June. And you’ve made hundreds of thousands of calls to Congress.

Your work so far has been incredible. But the special interests and partisan attack groups who oppose reform will not let up, and they will tell whatever lies they can to spread fear. There’s a lot more work for all of us to do. This Thursday’s meeting is our chance to huddle as a team, get the latest information and talk about how we’re going to achieve this victory. You don’t want to miss it.

Click here to RSVP and submit a question for President Obama:

Hope you can make it,

Arrogant, stupid downright evil, ugly as sin and gay. God, what an awful [pathetic POS he is Barney is the arse clown that got us in the financial mess in the first place. Why anyone gives that worthless POS the time of day has mostly to do with coddling the gay guy. Pretty sad excuse of a reason to keep that evil coniving POS in office this long.

kmichaels   August 19th, 2009 - 1:18 am

What a sad sad heartless small little man he is. So very pathetic. So counterproductive. Just have to wonder what kind of morons live in his distric. Are they are perverted to teh core of their souls too or too stupid to see what kind of a fool they put in office.

EVERYTHING about that guy is OFFENSIVE!

Bonnie Fwank REALLY CARES about health care. Here he is holding a Free Colorectal Clinic outside Boston. It wasn’t open to everyone however. You had to be:
1. A male between the ages of 18-24
2. A Gay Blade
3. Agree to “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” anyone about the clinic.
4. Not named Larse.
5. Hung like a Clydesdale.

The whole crowd should’ve charged the podium when this anti-American scumbag-Fag asked that gal, what planet she lived-on.

Frank and Ron Dodd both belong in prison for what they and others in DC have done, and continue to do to this country.

Let’s see, the Republicans do not want African Americans, Hispanics, People that immigrated into the US, Native Americans, Jews, union members and their families and well educated people in their party. The only people who are left are those that do not know their family history.

Marlo S.   August 19th, 2009 - 9:14 am

Again… It would be easier if these people didn’t hide behind code words such as Marxist , Socialist , and now Nazi… I would be much more happier if they would just call Obama a “N” and get it over with. This way we know why they are wasting our time debating a health care bill that will help all of us. Who wants to pay $1500 for a one hour hospital visit for a sprained ankle. its ridiculous. Something must be done.

Also, Bush never allowed the people to have a voice , he never did town hall meetings Bush didn’t even let people protest anywhere near him. Bush’s ”free speech zone” was TWO miles away. Now Obama has allowed everyone a voice , so we must take the good with the bad. I applaud Frank who had the balls to say something. These other politicians are puppets.

We as a people , must rise together. If we want health care reform then we must let it be known. No more sitting back. We must go back into campaign mode.

Marion   August 19th, 2009 - 9:17 am

It is astounding the level of ignorance displayed by Right Wing Fanatic Republicans and FauxNews. Their comparison has absolutely nothing to do with history but based entirely on fear and ignorance. These people should sit through hours of documentaries about the reign of Hitler, no doubt they need the education. To compare Obama to such a vile, evil person shows an utter lack of knowledge about the true atrocities committed during that period in history.

It is great to see someone call them on their twisted view of reality. So much valuable time is wasted with these people who are not there to debate the need for healthcare­…instead it is spent bickering with people that just do not have a clue. Meanwhile 47,000,000 of their uninsured American brothers and sisters watch these dramas unfold and wonder when their lives will matter. The opposition should know what is truly wrong in America….not some fabricated comparison of the POTUS to a dictator….but spending every waking moment worried about your loved ones being ill or seriously injured and the either total financial ruin or their demise that follows. That’s the real crime in America…..and it happens every day.

Barney Frank represents everything you do not want to see in a politician! This guy should be voted out, he has had his time, made a mess of it, Good-Bye Barney! A disgrace to say the least!

Barry Bonds   August 19th, 2009 - 9:56 am

Smitty, you make a great point. The Republicans have so many enemies they should NEVER see the light of day again.

How do they do it with such a narrow demographic?

Desiree   August 19th, 2009 - 9:57 am

This miserable spitbucket is not worthy of the office in which he serves. How many of you could treat your boss in this manner? He should be fired. Bawney, you
are a public servant. Your job is to represent the people that voted you into office, you don’t demean them. Were you not taught manners? You showed no respect
or class. You showed what a miserable party line toting piece of garbage that you are. I just don’t get how this swine was elected, certainly not on looks,
brains, speaking skills or tact. Maybe it was because of his dead on Elmer Fudd impersonation. Whascawwy Wabbitts. I hope the voters of your district
wise up and toss you out on your huge, fat larda%#.

***IMPEACH NOW–ASK QUESTIONS LATER***

I’ve asked All US Senators if they have seen Obama’s Long Form Birth Certificate,
Their answer:

A.- NO. I HAVEN’T SEEN IT. They answered.

****NO US SENATOR OR CONGRESSMAN HAS SEEN OBAMA’S BIRTH CERTIFICATE*****NOBODY!!!

Why?

A.- NOBODY ASKED OBAMA FOR HIS ID DOCUMENTS.*****They forgot or they were scared!!!

1. If Obama was/is ineligible to be POTUS; why would the RNC, Fox News, Dick Cheney or ANY former Bush administration official not block him form taking office?

–Answer – Checking Obama’s eligibility was not the RNC’s, Dick Cheney’s, or former President Bush’s job.
The mainstream media was safely in Obama’s pocket and Fox News apparently didn’t want to be labeled as racist.

2. Why didn’t Dick Cheney refuse to certify the election results on the basis of Obama’s ineligibility?

—Answer – Cheney had no evidence to disqualify Obama because Obama with-held most all of his documentative evidence and it was not his job to vette Obama for his eligibility.

3. As POTUS he is able to access and view information of a Top Secret classification including highly sensitive National Security data. Why has the FBI, CIA, NSA, DHS or any other intelligence group not “outed” Obama as ineligible?

—Answer – It was not any Government Officials duty to investigate Obama’s eligibility, so no one did.

This is what caused this PROBLEM.

***IMPEACH NOW, ASKS QUESTIONS LATER!!!***

DEMS & OBAMA WILL PASS HEALTHCARE BILL ALONE!!
IT IT PASSES, WE ALL DIE!
OBAMA AND DEMS PLAN MASS MURDER OF AMERICANS!!

WANT MORE?

“Trying to talk to the Faux news people is like talking to a dining room table!” ~Jimmy

Trying to talk to ANY news now in days is that way. There is no such thing as a totally neutral news broadcast anymore.

poetopoet   August 19th, 2009 - 12:20 pm

Obama wants to be Robin Hood, with REAL U.S. tax payer’s money, his Hoods are the Demoncrats, and his not so fair maiden is B. Frank. Why not just call it what is? Obama wants Wealth Reform, not Health Reform; remember Joe the Plumber and the remark by Obama “it’s the redistribution of wealth”, Obama trained all his life for. Yes or No?

Now the vile media are in their propaganda stage, blatantly against the old and concerned Americans who show up at these Town Hall rallies, the media dares to condemn. This is a Republic of We The People for which it stands or falls, not a democracy Rep. B. Frank uttered for his boys and girls to hear and continue to rape, pillage and purge in congress.

The absolute present dangers before America are Oama’s Hoods, the mass media, the demoncratic party, some union thugs and his paid Acorn militia, bus load after bus load.
Obama has appointed 44 Czars and counting, to do his bidding and not a one with congressional review, because the Demoncratic congress and the senate have failed in their sworn constitutional duties.

No more! No more! Real Americans, rally to the cries of fellow Americans on the brink of disaster losing their fathers, father dream, hope and long fought freedoms, paid for in blood, sweat and tears. Not for aliens, who ever they are, that will never fight to defend Americas shores. Yet they get everything free and handed out to them in the redistribution of Americas wealth, Obama proclaims for his supporters and followers.

Birth Right Writers, end Obama’s reign, ask and ask again, uphold the U.S. Constitution of We the People, to be the president you have to be a Natural Born Citizen, plain and simple, not repatriated by a name change of a muslim from Indonesia of one Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hessian Obama. That’s the law for Americans, not aliens from?

FIERCE!

Dick Zucker   August 19th, 2009 - 12:37 pm

Concerned citizens,(particularly those in Massachusetts) you are now free to release your grip on your ankles. You have just been “Barney Franked.”

Yes mark, I would be happy if evil men like Barney Franks get AIDS and dies an early death. Better him dying sooner and and the nation of millions surviving longer.

TO MARION   August 19th, 2009 - 4:20 pm

MARION WROTE: “Meanwhile 47,000,000 of their uninsured American brothers and sisters watch these dramas unfold and wonder when their lives will matter.”

1. Everyone knows that 47 million figure is entirely bogus!, and about 20 million of it is ILLEGAL ALIENS who do not belong here, and another 15-10 million are people who DO NOT WANT INSURANCE, etc. etc. This nonsense about 47 million uninsured is very OLD and very Bu11sh1++y.

2. These uninsured people are NOT our “brothers and sisters,” if they are YOURS, then YOU take care of them!

3. Nothing in the Constitution or anywhere else says it is the duty of the PRODUCTIVE WORKERS/TAXPAYERS TO TAKE CARE OF FREELOADING SLOBS!

TO MARK   August 19th, 2009 - 4:22 pm

Mark, “fierce” and “gay” do not belong in the same sentence (or post)! (Try “gay” and “WHINER”!)
LOL.
:-D

Please do not talk bad on this forum as it hurts my feelings. I love the President and Barney and I would get down on my knees for them any day of the week. I have been thinking of having my upper teeth removed. I don’t know why I bother posting here because nobody loves me.

bwany fwank doesnt talk to people that dont appreciate his sloppy spit-laden negotiating skills!   August 19th, 2009 - 11:04 pm

Hey marlo s you sound like a huff-po/media matters partisan idealogical tool. Just about everything you claim, as well as everything else the other liberal tools on this forum have spewed, has been disproven over and over again yet morons like you could care less just as long as you can keep gettting on the net to spread your lies and disinformation and why, to what end? Hey genuis let me clue you in.. your the one getting screwed too right along with all those ‘cwaazzy’ ‘ewwiil’ mean ol’ right wing conservatives and every independent or plain non political american citizen who are ‘wasting time’ making all this noise about your beloved obamacare, which is really just a bullshit phony scam to defraud the taxpayers into funding a health rationing system as has been done in canada, all around europe and latin america ending with miserable and often deadly results. Not to mention that fact that it is also a systematic method of population control based on similiar tactics used by hitler during his time in power. Dont want to look into any of those facts do you? Or how about Tort reform or hell anything else that would possibly burst that little magical bubble of stupid ignorance you seem to live in just as your disgusting slob of a pal bwaanny fwank(watch the spittle please) does. Just keep being a good little obamabot following your masters orders to jump off that cliff in order to save yourself from those nasty republicans.

WHY?   August 20th, 2009 - 4:52 pm

WHY DOES ANYBODY PUT UP WITH BARNEY FRANKS AND HIS RIDICULOUS ANTICS, INCLUDING HIS ANNOYING AND LISPY SPEECH? GO GET SOME FALSE TEETH, IDIOT, SURELY YOU CAN AFFORD SOME!
