Re: The oddest couple: Foxx and Frank

GiggleBox I really liked your old name of Gosh much better than this one as there is nothing in the world to giggle about when you post as they are usually so inane and hateful.

I loved the way this story went, Foxx the nut case and Franks just the liberal gay guy. How about Barney the accused crook, or Barney the one who had a boyfriend that ran a call boy ring out of their home and his office? Or Barney who was in the room with another boyfriend when the police arrested him (the boyfriend) for possession and distribution of drugs. Nah that is all ok, but Foxx speaking her mind is nutty? One can disagree with someone, as Foxx does with Franks, but one can also be civil as Foxx is with Franks.

God, I hate her

And God knows Marmalade, Cider and Apple Butter sales have suffered since she gave up her day job to be the new Jesse Helms. Ask Tweetsie.

Miller will be opposed by a conservative Republican by the name of Bill Randall. Bill will actually represent the people of NC and help stop our slide towards Socialism. Miller supports government run and rationed Healthcare, Cap and Tax, and increased taxes on the middle class.

hey bniolet, you forgot to mention that Barney Frank has been recorded on Video telling bank and mortgage companies to give loans to people that could not afford it. His previous views saying that Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac were in fine shape before the collapse is a total hypocrisy from now. Also Frank on the House side blocked all attempts made by Republican Mccain to tighten the way we regulate Fanny and Freddy. You forgot to mention that also. Keep up man I cannot do all of your research for you. Nice try on trying to slant the article towards the Democrats, it was so obvious.

I get this complaint every time one of the candidate visits. If I am at a major event like this, I will post multiple times from the event, regardless of the candidate or their party affiliation.

As for the Barney Frank thing, I thought it was interesting that folks even knew who he was enough to boo. I didn't think he was that well-known outside the Beltway insider types.

Big friggin deal. It was a Republican rally for McCain-Failin. What did you expect? A bunch of rabid Republicans boo an openly gay Democrat congressman. I just don't see why that is worth a blog posting. Let us know when something tolerant, intelligent, and enlightened happens at a McCain rally.

There's a first. A charge of media bias AGAINST Obama. Pretty funny.

If Ms. Barrett is going to claim to be blogging at midnight from the hallowed halls (or from her couch somewhere near the hallowed halls, which I guess somehow is more meaningful than what we can see from our couches in North Carolina), perhaps you might want to get her a user id so she can post it herself. Somehow it loses its impact posted 15 hours later .... and it's really annoying.

what do you know, David Price is on live now!

Thank God we have men like Rep Price in office.

Embarrassed

Anglico — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 07:22:33 -0400

Even more remarkable, he doesn't have the good sense to be embarrassed by being used as a tool by his Party. What is he doing for North Carolina? Worse than nothing as near as I can tell.

Seriously, McHenry gets so pwned every time he goes up against Barney Frank.

So Republicans like a whiny little brat who gets proved wrong every time he opens his mouth?

The National GOP might like him, but everyone who is "represented" by him hates him.
