Of course, the Globe doesn't actually talk to anyone who is against what Barney is doing. Sigh. That's why there is a separate blog for MSM crapola now.
"Frank taking rare heat back in the district" by Peter Schworm and Brian Ballou, Globe Staff | October 1, 2008
In Newton, the core of his left-leaning base, where many constituents consider themselves on a first-name basis with the 14-term representative, Frank has suddenly become synonymous with the subprime mortgage scandal and stock market woes.
And for GOOD REASON (see above link that began this post)
Many yesterday said they were unsettled by his alliance with the Bush administration on the bailout, and troubled that Frank seemed to be trading in his outsider status to broker an inside deal. A firebrand of the left, admired for his scathing wit and tenacious partisanship, Frank has enjoyed unquestioned popularity in his sprawling district, from affluent Newton to working-class New Bedford, where his status as a scourge of conservatives is a badge of honor.
Now Frank, the chairman of the powerful House Financial Services Committee who has emerged as one of the leading figures in the push for a massive Wall Street bailout, faces criticism from the left and the right alike for leading the charge for a $700 billion rescue plan of the nation's ailing financial markets. Frank also faces opposition for his seat, as Republican Earl H. Sholley of Norfolk is challenging him.
Translation: The PEOPLE are AGAINST the MONEY MEN and their lackeys (like Frank) of WASHINGTON, D.C.!!!!!!!!
Oh, and Mass. voters? VOTE the SLIME BAG OUT!!!!
Nearly everyone held strong opinions about the bailout, which suffered a stunning defeat in the House Monday amid dwindling public support. Most, even steadfast Frank supporters, said they had doubts about their representative's aggressive backing of the colossal plan, which many saw as a boondoggle for wealthy corporations at taxpayer expense. Frank, some said, was sent to Washington to fight for working people, not the fat cats.
How come you are NOT fighting FOR the PEOPLE, "liberal?"
In an unsettling reversal, people who had long identified with and defended the liberal icon in times of crisis found themselves squarely opposed to perhaps the most pivotal political decision of his career. The public, many said, should not be responsible for Wall Street's reckless ventures.
Can't you HEAR US, Barn?
Others took Frank and other government leaders to task for weak oversight of the mortgage and banking industries, saying Frank's staunch backing of mortgage giants
Pretty neat RACKET, huh, 'murkn shit-eaters?
Yet in New Bedford, where fishing boats dot the city's inner harbor, support for Frank appeared widespread. Many blamed Republicans for blocking the bailout plan. Nelia Raggiani, a cafe owner, said the government needed to intervene immediately to help the ailing economy.
Pffft! Yup, TURN the FOCUS of the PIECE around, Boston Globe!
What a SHIT PIECE of SPIN THIS IS!!!!
Others downplayed Frank's personal responsibility, saying the crisis had countless causes. Though a decided minority, some said the bailout is necessary and applauded Frank for taking an unpopular stance.
I really am sick of the propaganda; I've got enough ANGER right now to SOLVE the ENERGY CRISIS!!! Hook me up, fellas!!!!!
Frank was unavailable yesterday as he observed the Jewish holiday Rosh Hashana. --more--"
Oh, so the "crisis" isn't THAT URGENT, huh?
NOT ENOUGH URGENCY for the Zionist-controlled Congress to CANCEL the JEWISH HOLIDAYS!!!
Why is the US House off till Thursday to celebrate the Jewish New Year?
FUCK YOU and your "CRISIS," you scum-sucking shit bags!!!!!
