Now this really does give us something to be for thankful for this Thanksgiving. Best news I have heard all year. He's done more to cause the housing crisis than anyone else.
Funny vid, even if it's against Barney Frank. I just don't see how anyone in good conscience could vote against a great man of God like Barney. People who opposed probably just don't love the Lord.
What kind of Morons live in Massachusetts that they would reelect someone who is so inept as Barney Franks? Oh, I see, well naturally morons will elect a Moron because they are all morons... Why should morons have a right to vote? All they do is contribute to the fall of our economy. The fact that anyone would vote for Franks is proof that Moron's exist to a vast abundance in society.
@waterboy01440 Do you have ANY clue how Franks keeps getting reelected when he is a one man country wrecking machine? Well, along with Obama, Reid & Pelossi and others, lol. Is he paying off lobbyists like Reid is to get elected and helping to fund their pensions like Reid is?
This idiot Barney Frank doesn't take any resposibility for the mortgage crisis or that he was wrong about the financial viability of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac even though he is the Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee. It's time to say Bye Bye Barney! Lets get his ass out of office.
Frank deserves to get his fat ass booted from Congress. He blames the Republicans for his screw-ups and tries to use his sexuality to use a Race Card-esque defense.
GTFO, Frank, we don't need morons like YOU handling OUR money.
Barney Frank, Dodd, Chucky, Walters who all defended Fannie and Freddy when they knew it was in trouble. Bush tried 17 times to have them fix it and Walters and Frank told Bush to take a powered. This housing collapse was on the DemoRATS who all need to be thrown in jail. This video is great and lets get Sean elected so we can get in there and investigate these crooks
"Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the federal Home Loan Banks—the government-sponsored corporations that handle home mortgages—will increase their commitment to minority markets by more than $440 billion….(Applause).
Freddie Mac recently began 25 initiatives around the country to dismantle barriers and create greater opportunities for homeownership. Last year I set a goal to add 5.5 million new minority homeowners in America by the end of the decade.”
@frank3373 : I direct you to this video from 2005 within which Frank claims that there will be "no collapse": youtube.com/watch?v=iU9vWhObH7A
George Bush isn't running, but Barney Frank and Sean Bielat are. While Frank did not single-handedly cause the financial collapse (many hands including Sen. Dodd, Schumer, ACORN, etc. were involved) Barney Frank was a prime mover in the attempt to force the free market to lend to people who could not afford it, on the backs of the taxpayer.
@FilmLadd You do realize no one had to force banks to lend to people that couldn't afford it right. They were very anxious to do so because they could immediately sell the mortgages and thereby take on no risk while making money. What collapsed was the game of hot potato that the financial institutions wanted to play. Now they're all holding their gains for those that did and thats part of the reason we are where we are. Check out the the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999.
""And so we've called upon Congress to set up what's called the American Dream Down Payment Fund, which will provide financial grants to local governments to help first-time home buyers who qualify to make the down payment on their home. If a down payment is a problem, there's a way we can address that. And when Congress funds the program, this should help 200,000 new families over the next five years become first-time home buyers. " Important pat-"WHO QUALIFY"
@frank3373 you don't provide home ownership based on color, you base it upon whether someone can afford it or not. Otherwise, you have the subprimes courtesy of Chris Dodd, Barney Franks, and policies during the clinton administration. Reality bites, huh?
In an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal, Lawrence B. Lindsey, a former economic adviser to President George W. Bush, wrote, “Barney Frank is the only politician I know who has argued that we needed tighter rules that intentionally produce fewer homeowners and more renters.”
During the subprime mortgage crisis, Frank was characterized as "a key deal-maker, a bridge between his party’s base and free market conservatives." Hank Paulson, Bush Treasury Secretary praised Frank as dealmaker.
During twelve years of Republican rule (1994-2006) no reform was adopted regarding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
In 2005, Frank introduced legislation to impose tighter regulation of Fannie and Freddie and new funds for rental housing, but it was defeated due to Republican opposition.
Frank was instrumental in the passage of H.R. 5244, the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights Act of 2008. In 2007 Frank sponsored legislation to to provide affordable housing for the elderly and disabled.
Yeah, too bad that "tight regulation" was what wound up forcing banks and big business to take out the Subprime system in an attempt to make money, which was then followed by FRANK forcing them to give those subprime loans to unqualified applicants.
Here's Barney Frank's record of accomplishment on the financial crisis of 2005-8.
No Republican legislation to regulate was introduced in the 12 years they had control of Congress. Once control shifted to the Democrats, Frank was able to help guide both the
(1) Federal Housing Reform Act (H.R. 1427) and the
(2) Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act (H.R. 3915) to passage in 2007.
The Republican-led Gramm–Leach Act of 1999 dereg commercial and investment banks was real prob
During 12 yrs of Republican rule (1994-2006) no Fannie/Freddie reform was attempted. Bush pushed FM and FM into subprime mortgages.
Frank co-sponsored a bill to reform these institutions and add tight regulation that Bush and the Republican Senate killed.
In the Wall Street Journal, Lawrence B. Lindsey, economic adviser to Bush, wrote Frank “is the only politician I know who has argued that we needed tighter rules that intentionally produce fewer homeowners and more renters.”
@towerclimber37 You win the election in Nov 2006, but you don't assume power until the new Congress convenes in late Jan 2007. Then, you have to perform the due diligence and assemble the teams and get through committe to enact legislation without Presidential support. Barney Frank managed to do that by Oct 2007, which is about as quickly as humanly possible.
To frank3373 I really don't know where to start the box isn't big enough to start 30 years ago when Barney was voted in but you're clearly too busy being obsessed with Reagan and Bush2 instead of realizing that we can't get out of this mess (not caused just by Barney but he more than helped ) without getting rid of him. Try to focus on the future a little more and take a deep breath ok .
@jtismeto I will if you can tell me why Barney Frank is not a national treasure.
I make the point that the two biggest spenders in American history are Reagan and Bush 2, and the people who supported these nut jobs are the ones criticizing Frank for spending!
or is he his boyfriend. He defends Barney more than a man would support his wife.
He blames Bush for running up the deficit because Republicans controlled Congress, then blames Reagan for tripling the deficit when Democrats ran congress? Typical liberal who wants its both ways.. Oh, btw your interest number is way off, try again...
@REDSOXS66 Sure because Reagan's budget submittals to Congress were well above what the Democrats wanted to spend during five of Reagan's eight years. The Dems actually lowered Reagan's spending. And as President, he's responsible, right? It is his budget, and he spent like a drunken sailor.
I don't blame Bush because of the Republican Congress, I blame Bush because he was an idiot who spent $6.1 trillion dollars to engage us in two unnecessary wars. (I'll take whatever interest no you got.)
Bye Bye Barney.....We are going to vote you out!!!! WE HATE YOU BARNEY & WHAT YOU HAVE DONE NOT ONLY TO MASSACHUSETTS...BUT THE NATIONS ECONOMY & THE HOUSING MARKET!
I mis-caculated the interest rate we are currently paying per year on Bush's $6.1 trillion deficit spending spree. It is $360 billion yr. Barney's got a ways to go.
The housing collapse, the collateral debt obligations, were purchased whenthe Republicans had control of both chambers of Congress.
"F Mae, FMac and the federal Home Loan Banks—the government-sponsored corporations that handle home mortgages—will increase their commitment to minority markets by more than $440 billion." -- G. Bush
In an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal, Lawrence B. Lindsey, a former economic adviser to President George W. Bush, wrote that Frank “is the only politician I know who has argued that we needed tighter rules that intentionally produce fewer homeowners and more renters.” (WSJ). Once control shifted to the Democrats, Frank was able to help guide both the Federal Housing Reform Act (H.R. 1427) and the Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act (H.R. 3915) to passage in 2007. (Wikipedia).
During twelve years of Republican rule no reform was adopted regarding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In 2007, a few months after Frank became the Chairman, the House passed a strong reform bill. He sought to get the [Bush] administration’s approval to include it in the economic stimulus legislation in January 2008; and finally got it passed July 2008. Moreover, "we were able to adopt it in nineteen months, and we could have done it much quicker if the [Bush] administration had cooperated."
@frank3373 The republicans tried to reform Fannie & Freddie back in 2003 and needed dem support in the committees to get it. The Democrats said NO and ridiculously accused racism of the responsible people who said reform was needed. Lay it on the dems, pure & simply.
@towerclimber37 Two problems with your logic. First, the Republicans had complete control of the House and Senate, Frank had no power. Second, Bush was attempting to regulate financial and accounting irregularities that were uncovered which had nothing to do with Wall Street driven housing collapse. Bush wanted ANOTHER BUREAUCRATIC AGENCY to regulate FM and FM! Of course, Frank voted against it.
@towerclimber37 What?! Mass has a pop of 6.5 million. RI is just over 1 million. As for size... marginal, huh? MA is 10,555 Square miles and RI is 1,214 Square miles. Thats a sizable difference.
What type of person actually votes for Barney Frank ??? How could anyone with even low brain activity pull the lever for this man...
Living in MA for 44 years I understand the liberal agenda, but this Elmer Fudd dude is so insane.. People of his district need to follow the conservative route and oust his pathetic liberal spending arse..
@REDSOXS66 George Bush runs up a budget deficit of $6.1 TRILLION dollars. Reagan tripled the budget deficit from $7.1 billion to over $3 trillion and YOU ARE BLAMING FRANK FOR SPENDING??? The Dems weren't even in power until 2007. The Bush interest last year, just the interest on his spending spree was $3.6 billion. And what did we get for that? Uh...Irag and Afghanistan, 6,000 dead kids and another 25,000 with life altering, crippling injuries.
It is really amazing that this one person caused entire Great Recession. Why don't his supporters and other libs understand that decades of policy decisions aimed at combating discriminatory housing and lending practices actually made everything worse?!?!?! The market discriminates against low-income minorities and there is nothing government can do to help it. BARNEY you only made it harder for discriminatory lending and they had to come up with new ways to do it which made things worse!!!!!
@treefingers1206 You'll have to explain how Barney did this since he and the Dems had no power until Jan 2007. Republicans controlled the Senate and House.
"The problem is we have what we call a homeownership gap in America. Three-quarters of Anglos own their homes, and yet less than 50 percent of African Americans and Hispanics own homes. … So I've set this goal for the country. We want 5.5 million more homeowners by 2010 … " -- George Bush
@frank3373 I was being sarcastic. Notice my last statement: discriminatory lenders are the victims because they had to find new ways to circumvent govt regulation in order to deceive and prey on low-income, undereducated individuals.
I mean , I'm sure they are good people but what more does Barney have to do before they say, "hey , wait a sec, he sucks!"
Come back to this dimension, the one that Barney protected Fannie and Freddie in , causing the collapse of the financial instutitions resulting in a deep recesssion.
Bush 2002 speech at the St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church in Atlanta:
"Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the federal Home Loan Banks—the government-sponsored corporations that handle home mortgages—will increase their commitment to minority markets by more than $440 billion."
December 2003, signing the American Dream Downpayment Act, Bush:
"Last year I set a goal to add 5.5 million new minority homeowners in America by the end of the decade.
I understand you showing his hypocrisy but I believe it a mistake to mention his name in your add. I think you should only place yours in and what accomplishments you plan to bring to Washington D.C.
@joabei11 That is not a very nice thing to say to someone who is right on the money. The nicest thing that can be said about you is that you are a partisan, mean-spirited, unappreciative, nasty SOB. You have a good day.
LMAO ! Should have added the line he gave on Cape Cod this year, "arguing the facts with you madame is like having a conversation with my dining room table."...
Guess he speaks to his furnature at home while not busy with his BF running gay prostitution ring at his Wash D.C. Apartment....or hanging out with Drug dealers in Maine in the middle of a drug raid.....I agree, send Barney's Frank to jail.
I love election time. Totally vacuous commercials. And now - vacuous youtube videos! Let the attack ads begin. Otherwise you would have informed voters.
@7jerryv7 You're right. The Virgin Islands trip, the mortgage crisis, the bailouts, Barney Frank's demeanor, his scandals and corruption for so many years. It's a lot to cram into 60 seconds. Instead, we'll come up with an electronic way for people to gather, at their fingertips, a method of getting all of this information on Barney Frank, in detail, in written form, leaving no detail out so that the voters can be informed. Oh wait. That's the Internet.
@FilmLadd You fucking idiot, jerry is commenting on how we hate the political process so much because you fuckers turn it into a disgusting monster where personnal attacks are deeemed "okay". How about I start posting adds everywhere about how "the barney shuffle" looks like it was made by a tasteless high school student.
@7jerryv7 Well, Barny Frank has been a totally vacuous congressman, so it's kismet. Seriously, Frank resisted every attempt to reign in Freddie and Fannie since at least 2003. Freddie and Fannie enabled the default credit swaps that where at the bottom of the financial meltdown. He basically made it his personal hobby to encourage Freddie, Fannie and banks in general to write loans to people that were not credit worthy. Take that out of the picture and you likely don't have a banking collapse
@cartman1492 It is funny cause if you READ for yourself any of the books about the financial collapse (Michael Lewis, for example) or anything about FM and FMac, instead of listening to Drudge and O'Reilly, it was Bush and Cheney who pushed individual home ownership and Frank and the Democrats who introduced the only legislation in Oct 2007 to regulate FM and FMac. The Republicans had complete control of the Presidency and both houses of Congress, but somehow FM and FMac is Barney's problem!
@cartman1492 You have no idea what you are talking about. The 2003 attempt to reign in FM and FM was over accounting irregularities, it had nothing to do with the financial meltdown and the Bush solution was yet another Agency. Bush/Cheney were big FM and FM supporters (see quotes below).
FM and FM had nothing to do with the financial meltdown--they were late to the game and didn't purchase the collateral debit obligations that caused the collapse. Those were bought by Bear Sterns, AIG, Citi.
I have know Barney Frank was a waste of space for over 20 years havinging grown up in Mass. Also Ed Markey is another complete douche from Mass. Both have been in office forever but only in the last couple of years has Frank been able to hurt the whole country the way Markey hurt the country with his involvement in telecommications 20 odd years ago. When they have ideas be afraid and hide your wallet.
@jtismeto How about the ideas to invade Iraq and Afghanistan? That worked out well didn't it? How about the idea to deregulate Wall Street? Checked your 401(k) lately? That worked out well.
ok (with my best lissssspppp) Barney its time to retire and play house with your stupid boyfriend (was her the one running a gay escort service out of your base a few years back?).
@towerclimber37 I spend the same amount of money on healthcare as you do. If you are referring to tax dollars funding insurance for people who otherwise couldn't afford it remember it saves money over the long term among nobler reasons.
No, I am not talking about a new pair of shoes. I'm talking about a fetus (less than 4m). You say child I say fetus, Either way it's her body and her choice.
Equal rights for all. Including LGBT people. Repeal DADT and allow people to marry the person they love.
Fwanks has been a disaster from the start. His crescendo was the housing fiasco that he set up with F&F. He ignored Bush's warnings for more reform on the mortgage giants, but Fwanks insisted just before they collapsed that there as no problem with either of 'em. He's got a brain that's all clogged up with sperm and who knows what else. Fwanks is a disgusting pig that needs to be slaughtered!
< ------- hey there you,.... I think it's about time you subscribe to my channel there chap,.....good fellow,.....off you go then,..... get a piece of the music pie,...... enjoy and cheerri-o. You're on spot for the album Immuffulation that's bound to leave your senses delighted.
I didn't like Barney before, because he's an arrogant fat-ass. But this video actually makes me like him more. He should do more dancing in real life.
@bigd934 There are countless wrongs, missteps and scandals with our intrepid Barney Frank, from pushing for home loans that caused the housing bubble and subsequent collapse, to accepting free trips to the Virgin Islands or campaign contributions from big business that he regulates and banks that he bailed out with YOUR money. A simple google search will give you all of the details.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Barney Frank is a national treasure, one of the smartest guys in Congress with the intelligence to understand the complexities of Wall Street and what regulation is required. He's extraordinarily on top of the issues and very articulate. And he's concerned about the middle class and the little people in society.
@ICAUCUSREGION6 I can't help but noting that you, like the other responses I got here, are actually unable to come up with any specifics about Frank. I want to know how the Republicans are able to brainwash so many people who accept what they say instead of reading for themselves. I know, you've been taught not to like Frank, and you don't know why.
@bigd934 Barney is under investigation for certain Tarp funds he requested for a bank he favored and for the $200 billion bailout of Fannie and Freddie that he as the head of the house financial services committee blocked attempts to rein their bad business practices that caused the housing crisis. One day it will all come out how big a crook Barney really is.
@bigd934 Remember the banking crisis in fall of 2008? Barney Frank was in charge of the Congressional House Banking Committee two years before it happened and did nothing to prevent the coming meltdown. Since then, he has completely been in denial of completely failing on his job. That's a mammoth fail.
@Micheleeroo Not true. Frank didn't take charge of the Banking Committee until 2007 and by then all the CDO's had been purchased and the crises was fait accompli. It was too late. In fact, the Republicans introduced no FM or FM legislation in the 12 yrs they were in power. Frank got through the "Housing Reform Act," the "Mortgage Reform Act" and the "Mortgage Reform and Predatory Lending Act."
The Republicans had huge margins for 12 yrs and could have passed leg without Frank, easily.
LOSE THE "ANT HEAP" "YOU and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream -- the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order -- or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. Quote"Ronald Reagan"........LOSE THE BARNEY..........
I'm out of state and I sent him 5 bucks. How 'bout if you enjoyed this funny piece of entertainment, everyone create a mini-money-bomb and send him $5, too? Let's go....
Does anyone notice how these fakes cultivate a mean look at all times? Then the bullshitters who get on the pulpit to sell the lies like Obama the usurper and Pelosi the enabler have these insane looking expressions?
I remember he once told a woman at some townhall that she was dumber than a piece of furniture...at which point she shoulda clobbered him with a piece of furniture. His shockjock days are OVER, we expect rudeness, we'll hit back twice as hard.

Not to mention that this guy is against equal rights and a womans right to choose. But hey, he's a MARINE! Or at least he tells people every chance he gets
I love it. I hope you win Sean and bring common sense back to our Government and especially keep them accountable. Go Sean! California is Rooting for You! I just wish we weren't going over a cliff. Seriously thinking of moving to a different state after the elections and getting out of the Left Coast!
I love it. I hope you win Sean and bring common sense back to our Government and especially keep them accountable. Go Sean! California is Rooting for You!
OMG! 'bout peed my pants, I was laughing so hard ;)) The sad truth is Barney and Dodd and whoever else at the middle of the housing meltdown will never be charged/face a jury for their criminal acts.
ROFL! I wish we in Missouri could see humorous political ads such as this one, all we see are crappy attack ads featuring Nancy Pelosi and President Obama.
@melsa3 Sadly I live in Ca. and have to put up with her and the other crazy progressives! I keep trying to vote them out, but, their like cockroaches can't get 'em all and they congregate together. I love Ca but am seriously considering moving!

It's easy for asshats like Bielat to run a campaign against everything, but what is he actually in favor of? He's a Republican, so you can be sure he's in favor of eliminating Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and doesn't believe that you have a right to health care. A vote for a Republican is a vote for the death of the middle class.
@lucyopolis Who pays for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and who will pay for your universal healthcare, TARPs and bailouts and the countless tons of pork? There are not enough "rich people out there to tax down the road," as your beloved Barney Frank likes to say, to sustain it all.
OH , you must have missed the two debates. Bielat slaughtered Barney, That's way he's jumped in the polls and why you feel the urge to rank non-sense against him
@lucyopolis Huh? What evidence do you have to support your claims about any of those programs - I didn't ask for the Nazi-like propaganda of NPR and the rest of your liberal cronies - I asked for evidence. Please supply it. Just to help you, "Oh, come on" or "Everybody knows that" is NOT evidence.
@lucyopolis Uh, I think you are missing the entire point here, with all due respect to you. You are espousing that some how SS, Medicare, and Medicaid is what props up the middle class? You couldn't be farther from the truth. First of all I am not "middle class" I am a citizen. You see you are just spewing the divisive talking point without any gravitas of the situation at hand. I believe the problem, as I understand it is the fact that all the elected people have "over-reached."

I like this ad-its sure to bring people out for Frank, since they can't understand a word the other guy is saying. Frank should come back with something along the lines of "unlike my opponent, I don't get high and make campaign ads"
@dpenn89 It will especially bring out the Paloma Partners with their free airplane rides. They are very supportive of Barney Frank. Thank you for your alternate-universe comment.
Paloma and other corporations should be happy that we will be electing a candidate that doesn't have to be bought. If government just gets out of the way, we wouldn't need lobyists.
DPENN89, Are you kidding? You people can't understand what Bielat is saying? People need an English interpretter to understand Barney, never mind his incomprehensible policies. I can only imagine how wet a person gets when talking to him. He has to be spitting all over himself and those around him

@dpenn89 You mean you find it easier to understand Barney than Sean Bielat? You poor lost soul. And talk about getting high - wasn't it Barneys boyfiend who was busted for pot at his home while Barney sat on the porch? And was it the same boyfriend ( or a different one) that ran a male prostitution company form Barney's apartment? Yeah, real class act that Barney.

Barney Frank does alot for the people of MA. He secured 30 million for access for fall river and Freetown where I live so it's good for businness here as well as the residents like me. The ad made me laugh but I'm still voting for Barney Frank. He does too much for my state and the people who live here!
@rockinromance Let's see... a fishing industry down the tubes, sold out by Barney to the EPA... roads that cost over a million a mile... not to mention foreclosures, high unemployment, and a wrecked economy caused by the housing bubble that he was at the center of. Yes, he's done a great deal for MA. Thanks for that $30mil access ear mark.
@rockinromance Unbelievable. The fact that Barney is the main cause of the country's economic crisis doesn't matter to you. The fact that someone else in the senate could have also secured that 30 million, without screwing up the country, doesn't occur to you? I am from Fall River. Notice I said FROM. I left there long ago due to braind dead dopes like you.
@rockinromance He secured $30 million for your state while putting the entire nation on the hook for $600 billion to bail out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which he claimed were perfectly healthy.
You support someone as destructive as Barney Frank because he buys your vote with chump change. He gives you a couple of bucks, and in exchange you let him destroy the future of our children. Sickening.
@rockinromance Maybe he does alot for you in Mass but he seriously damages the rest of the country in the process. But I suppose that's ok with you. Maybe we ought to start holding the voters of these arrogant tyrannts personally responsible for the damage they help inflict on the rest of the country. If they only hurt you, well, that's your business. But why the hell should YOUR representative be able to hurt me? Boycott Massachusetts!
@PumaOPumaOPumaO As I understand it, you are not watching this on tv. But then again, you may be commenting from another planet on which you spend most of your time.
I love how nobody in mass investigated frank when a guy proved he was corrupt...nice..

Barney Frank, Dodd, Chucky, Walters who all defended Fannie and Freddy when they knew it was in trouble. Bush tried 17 times to have them fix it and Walters and Frank told Bush to take a powered.

@frank3373 : I direct you to this video from 2005 within which Frank claims that there will be "no collapse": youtube.com/watch?v=iU9vWhObH7A
George Bush isn't running, but Barney Frank and Sean Bielat are. While Frank did not single-handedly cause the financial collapse (many hands including Sen. Dodd, Schumer, ACORN, etc. were involved) Barney Frank was a prime mover in the attempt to force the free market to lend to people who could not afford it, on the backs of the taxpayer.

@FilmLadd You do realize no one had to force banks to lend to people that couldn't afford it right. They were very anxious to do so because they could immediately sell the mortgages and thereby take on no risk while making money. What collapsed was the game of hot potato that the financial institutions wanted to play. Now they're all holding their gains for those that did and thats part of the reason we are where we are. Check out the the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999.

The real quote
""And so we've called upon Congress to set up what's called the American Dream Down Payment Fund, which will provide financial grants to local governments to help first-time home buyers who qualify to make the down payment on their home. If a down payment is a problem, there's a way we can address that. And when Congress funds the program, this should help 200,000 new families over the next five years become first-time home buyers.

Wanting minorities to have access to home ownership didn't cause the bad debt.
Forcing banks to give out loans to the underqualified did.

@frank3373 you don't provide home ownership based on color, you base it upon whether someone can afford it or not. Otherwise, you have the subprimes courtesy of Chris Dodd, Barney Franks, and policies during the clinton administration. Reality bites, huh?

In an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal, Lawrence B. Lindsey, a former economic adviser to President George W. Bush, wrote, “Barney Frank is the only politician I know who has argued that we needed tighter rules that intentionally produce fewer homeowners and more renters.”
During the subprime mortgage crisis, Frank was characterized as "a key deal-maker, a bridge between his party’s base and free market conservatives." Hank Paulson, Bush Treasury Secretary praised Frank as dealmaker.

During twelve years of Republican rule (1994-2006) no reform was adopted regarding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
In 2005, Frank introduced legislation to impose tighter regulation of Fannie and Freddie and new funds for rental housing, but it was defeated due to Republican opposition.
Frank was instrumental in the passage of H.R. 5244, the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights Act of 2008. In 2007 Frank sponsored legislation to to provide affordable housing for the elderly and disabled.

Yeah, too bad that "tight regulation" was what wound up forcing banks and big business to take out the Subprime system in an attempt to make money, which was then followed by FRANK forcing them to give those subprime loans to unqualified applicants.

Here's Barney Frank's record of accomplishment on the financial crisis of 2005-8.
No Republican legislation to regulate was introduced in the 12 years they had control of Congress. Once control shifted to the Democrats, Frank was able to help guide both the
(1) Federal Housing Reform Act (H.R. 1427) and the
(2) Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act (H.R. 3915) to passage in 2007.
The Republican-led Gramm–Leach Act of 1999 dereg commercial and investment banks was real prob

During 12 yrs of Republican rule (1994-2006) no Fannie/Freddie reform was attempted. Bush pushed FM and FM into subprime mortgages.
Frank co-sponsored a bill to reform these institutions and add tight regulation that Bush and the Republican Senate killed.
In the Wall Street Journal, Lawrence B. Lindsey, economic adviser to Bush, wrote Frank “is the only politician I know who has argued that we needed tighter rules that intentionally produce fewer homeowners and more renters.”

@towerclimber37 You win the election in Nov 2006, but you don't assume power until the new Congress convenes in late Jan 2007. Then, you have to perform the due diligence and assemble the teams and get through committe to enact legislation without Presidential support. Barney Frank managed to do that by Oct 2007, which is about as quickly as humanly possible.

During twelve years of Republican rule no reform was adopted regarding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In 2007, a few months after Frank became the Chairman, the House passed a strong reform bill. He sought to get the [Bush] administration’s approval to include it in the economic stimulus legislation in January 2008; and finally got it passed July 2008. Moreover, "we were able to adopt it in nineteen months, and we could have done it much quicker if the [Bush] administration had cooperated."

@towerclimber37 Two problems with your logic. First, the Republicans had complete control of the House and Senate, Frank had no power. Second, Bush was attempting to regulate financial and accounting irregularities that were uncovered which had nothing to do with Wall Street driven housing collapse. Bush wanted ANOTHER BUREAUCRATIC AGENCY to regulate FM and FM! Of course, Frank voted against it.

@7jerryv7 Well, Barny Frank has been a totally vacuous congressman, so it's kismet. Seriously, Frank resisted every attempt to reign in Freddie and Fannie since at least 2003. Freddie and Fannie enabled the default credit swaps that where at the bottom of the financial meltdown. He basically made it his personal hobby to encourage Freddie, Fannie and banks in general to write loans to people that were not credit worthy. Take that out of the picture and you likely don't have a banking collapse
cartman1492 1 year ago
@cartman1492 It is funny cause if you READ for yourself any of the books about the financial collapse (Michael Lewis, for example) or anything about FM and FMac, instead of listening to Drudge and O'Reilly, it was Bush and Cheney who pushed individual home ownership and Frank and the Democrats who introduced the only legislation in Oct 2007 to regulate FM and FMac. The Republicans had complete control of the Presidency and both houses of Congress, but somehow FM and FMac is Barney's problem!
frank3373 1 year ago
@cartman1492 You have no idea what you are talking about. The 2003 attempt to reign in FM and FM was over accounting irregularities, it had nothing to do with the financial meltdown and the Bush solution was yet another Agency. Bush/Cheney were big FM and FM supporters (see quotes below).
FM and FM had nothing to do with the financial meltdown--they were late to the game and didn't purchase the collateral debit obligations that caused the collapse. Those were bought by Bear Sterns, AIG, Citi.

@Micheleeroo Not true. Frank didn't take charge of the Banking Committee until 2007 and by then all the CDO's had been purchased and the crises was fait accompli. It was too late. In fact, the Republicans introduced no FM or FM legislation in the 12 yrs they were in power. Frank got through the "Housing Reform Act," the "Mortgage Reform Act" and the "Mortgage Reform and Predatory Lending Act."
The Republicans had huge margins for 12 yrs and could have passed leg without Frank, easily.

I believe the problem, as I understand it is the fact that all the elected people have "over-reached."

I like this ad-its sure to bring people out for Frank, since they can't understand a word the other guy is saying. Frank should come back with something along the lines of "unlike my opponent, I don't get high and make campaign ads"

@dpenn89 It will especially bring out the Paloma Partners with their free airplane rides. They are very supportive of Barney Frank. Thank you for your alternate-universe comment.

Paloma and other corporations should be happy that we will be electing a candidate that doesn't have to be bought. If government just gets out of the way, we wouldn't need lobyists.
DPENN89, Are you kidding? You people can't understand what Bielat is saying? People need an English interpretter to understand Barney, never mind his incomprehensible policies. I can only imagine how wet a person gets when talking to him. He has to be spitting all over himself and those around him

@dpenn89 You mean you find it easier to understand Barney than Sean Bielat? You poor lost soul. And talk about getting high - wasn't it Barneys boyfiend who was busted for pot at his home while Barney sat on the porch? And was it the same boyfriend ( or a different one) that ran a male prostitution company form Barney's apartment? Yeah, real class act that Barney.

Barney Frank does alot for the people of MA. He secured 30 million for access for fall river and Freetown where I live so it's good for businness here as well as the residents like me. The ad made me laugh but I'm still voting for Barney Frank. He does too much for my state and the people who live here!

@rockinromance Let's see... a fishing industry down the tubes, sold out by Barney to the EPA... roads that cost over a million a mile... not to mention foreclosures, high unemployment, and a wrecked economy caused by the housing bubble that he was at the center of. Yes, he's done a great deal for MA. Thanks for that $30mil access ear mark.

@rockinromance Unbelievable. The fact that Barney is the main cause of the country's economic crisis doesn't matter to you. The fact that someone else in the senate could have also secured that 30 million, without screwing up the country, doesn't occur to you? I am from Fall River. Notice I said FROM. I left there long ago due to braind dead dopes like you.

@rockinromance He secured $30 million for your state while putting the entire nation on the hook for $600 billion to bail out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which he claimed were perfectly healthy.
You support someone as destructive as Barney Frank because he buys your vote with chump change. He gives you a couple of bucks, and in exchange you let him destroy the future of our children. Sickening.

@rockinromance Maybe he does alot for you in Mass but he seriously damages the rest of the country in the process. But I suppose that's ok with you. Maybe we ought to start holding the voters of these arrogant tyrannts personally responsible for the damage they help inflict on the rest of the country. If they only hurt you, well, that's your business. But why the hell should YOUR representative be able to hurt me? Boycott Massachusetts!

@PumaOPumaOPumaO As I understand it, you are not watching this on tv. But then again, you may be commenting from another planet on which you spend most of your time.
