Barney I will answer your questions.

Yes, money corrupts every single Democrat to a certain extent. And Republicans too.

And yes. Obama got millions from Wall Street banksters, and didn't go after any of them when everyone knows they committed crimes.

Yes the money played a part, obviously Barney. A blind man could see that.

Yes the whole government is corrupted by money in politics Mr. Franks.

I don't appreciate you making light of it, and defending it as if it isn't a disaster for our country and our world.

Barney, go back to being a well paid pile of Wall Street scum defending the Wall Street way, and Wall Street Paid Politicians.

The rest of our families are getting the shit knocked out of us by your filthy rich friends, and we aren't gonna take it any more.

I hope everyone can watch the interview. Barney is a very, very gifted blame shifter.

And because of the Barney Franks' of this world, our country is 20 trillion in debt, and our planet is collapsing in a hundred different ways. And yes, Republicans are even worse.

Time for change Barney.

Screw Wall Street.

I know your paychecks could get smaller Barney, just like the rest of us. Boo f-ing hoo.

1. Barney - your credibility was bought and paid for...

You sold it. You don't have it anymore.

2. He had some?

7. On his worst day, he has more credibility than you'll ever have.

You tyros should actually read about someone's life before you embarrass yourselves.

9. Yeah, back in the '80s he was a bigtime critic of Ronald Reagan

6. I wish I could remember which talk show I saw this on...

It was some time just before or after he retired: Barney Frank on a late night talk show explaining why Congresspeople take bribes (my word). After being asked about that problem, he turned to look straight into the camera and said something along the lines of "well, didn't your mother teach you to be nice to people who are nice to you?" He then repeated that exact same thing two more times. At the time I told a friend about it and the friend insisted he must have been being facetious. It was so clear, as I watched and listened, that he was not being facetious in the least (he was addressing all the people out there in "TV land" as if they were two year olds). I just spent a good chunk of time trawling youtube, trying to find a clip of that, to no avail. So many (corrupt) goons in that government of "ours".

8. FRANK

No S in his last name. Goddamn learn it.

10. "Goddamn" for a typo?

Don't you think God has more important things to do than be a net-nanny for spelling?
