Barney Frank: Criminals More of a Threat Than Al Qaeda
Rep. Barney Frank said he would oppose a troop increase in Afghanistan because people in his district face greater threats than al Qaeda.
Frank (D-Mass.), the House Financial Services Committee chairman, said that the federal government needs to spend its funds on domestic priorities rather than on foreign wars in light of the nation's record $1.4 trillion budget deficit. Frank said that domestic problems, such as crime and global warming, pose a greater "threat" to citizens in his district than al Qaeda does. Read more ...

Criminal? He is speaking of himself, right?
ncgirl
The really sad thing is the good people of Mass. will probably reelect this fool.
My voice
Barney, you yourself is a threat to the entire nation!

Look up the CFR
"If one group is effectively in control of national governments and multinational corporations; promotes world government through control of media, foundation grants, and education; and controls and guides the issues of the day; then they control most options available. The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), and the financial powers behind it, have done all these things, and promote the "New World Order", as they have for over seventy years."

Old slick Barney Frank. Not only is he just plain stupid, he's a pervert to boot. It's amazing that anyone would vote for this fool. It doesn't say much about the people that voted for him except that they're just as dumb.
Virginia patriot
Come on people.....Barney will be there for a long, long time. We are talking Mass. here folks. They don't mind voting for and being represented by murderers, JFK war hero wannabes or just plain criminals like Frank.
CHIP
The biggest threat in his district is Barney, and his "boyfriend"
Jomari of MD
Barney, I don't agree with you. The greatest threat and danger to the American people right now is CONGRESS!
American Lady
You are absolutely right! They reside in D.C.
azghost
Franks should know he's one of America's biggest criminals!
Palin2012
If we can only do one thing to change to way things are going, this idoit must go. You who live in his district, must get out and stop this uh--------------man.
mkm
If you really feel that way Bawney, I'm sure we can all pitch in for a one way ticket to jihadist country. Wonder how they would receive you????
Delores CH WV
WHAT IS THE DEFINATION OF A CRIMMINAL IN BARNEY'S DICTIONARY? I AM NOT SURE HE WILL RECOGNIZE ONE .....BECAUSE HE IS ONE!!!! HE HAS BEEN BEHIND THE BIGGEST CRIMMINAL MESS IN HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY.........................AND, NANCY KEEPS HIM AROUND BECAUSE SHE LIKES TO BE SEEN AS BIG BOSS HOG!!!!!!!! HOWEVER, SHE IS NOT....SHE IS A PUPPET THAT WILL BE LOCKED IN THE CLOSET WHEN NECESSARY!!!
tommygun
IMHO
The current washington regime is the biggest threat against our nation, and her citizens. Corruption, and treasonous agendas are the real threats.
We the people, know what they are trying to do. It is up to us to stop this madness in it`s tracks. Who will lead us against such tyrrany? I believe it will be our own military, joining ranks with us, against, these disgusting people in washington.

That is why Obama wants a civilian military larger than the National military..
d'Raven
Well, I hope he succeed in creating that civilian military junkies and then let them face-off with the real military personnel and I know the later will kick the butt off the former!
Sonny
Barney Franks... just consider the source... is there anything else that need to be said... lol... lunatic raving liberal idiot.... give me a break...

Why doesn't he tell the families of the 911 victims that.... idiot..!!!!
Woody B
Seems strange that Barney recognizes crime in his district (which would include the crimes committed by the politicians) is such a threat. I submit that, as a nation, the congress poses a greater threat to us than crime, global warming and al Qaeda combined.
d'Raven
Heck! Barney is the biggest threat to America, he single handedly collapse the mortgage bubble.
Rod Majors
How about Rep. Foxx (R) who said just last week on the House floor that the current healthcare bill was a bigger threat to the USA than any terrorist group, just days before Ft. Hood? Where is that blog post, Fox Nation?
Econ
So he did not know his live in boyfriend was growing dope on the porch and he did not know his last live in boy friend was running a prostitution ring and when he is asked a question he gets defensive and accuses the reporter of accusing him of lying. So how's that working out for ya bawny?
ptson
The threat of PERVERSION! is indeed great!
scscot56
