And here we thought we were done with him. Apparently not:
Former Rep. Barney Frank says it was the year-end standoff over the fiscal cliff that prompted him to seek an appointment to John Kerry’s Senate seat and then to go public with hopes for his next career move.
Asked why he changed his mind, Frank told POLITICO that, during a House Democratic Caucus meeting on the heated fiscal cliff negotiations, he had a change of heart, as he confronted the details of the bill that Congress would pass.
“We’ve put off the sequester for a couple of months, and we will decide in a couple of months what to do about spending cuts,” Frank said. “And the debt limit will come up. And there will be efforts to reduce Medicare and Social Security. … So it was when I sat there and learned what important decisions were going to be have to be made in February, March and April, I decided that I wanted the job.”
Frank had previously said it would be “presumptuous” to comment on a job that hasn’t been offered when asked whether he would want the interim Senate seat that will open up if Kerry is confirmed as secretary of state. But soon after, Frank revealed on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that he had told Bay State Gov. Deval Patrick he wanted the job.
“Previously, I was facing a situation in which the first few months of the year, as they often are, would not be very important in terms of legislation, and it would have been more ceremonial than substantive. I’m not a big ceremony guy,” Frank told POLITICO in an interview Tuesday.
Frank goes on to say that he has ruled out running in the Special Election, which would take place if Massachusetts’ current senior Senator, John F. Kerry, is confirmed as the next Secretary of State. Why should we trust his word, given how much he helped cause this entire mess and now he wants to “help the country?” Yeah, RIGHT. He’ll help shove more crap down our throats…and I’ll just leave it at that.

Oh horse pucky. It has nothing to do with the fiscal cliff or any other noble cause. He saw a opportunity to get back in office after running like a coward from having to stand for re-election, and now he is going for it.
Well, We always knew he’d be back in the end…
Sounds like yet another good reason not to confirm Kerry.
Barney is no Capone
Massachusetts, please take note: Barney Frank would be a terrible Senator. You have been Warrened.

I have said it before, will say it again: this is not about “gay rights.” It is not about “love” or “commitment.” It is about a communist-founded movement that from the beginning has had the objective of destroying traditional marriage and what the Queer Studies people now call “heteronormativity” in order to make the society dissolve into chaos and undermine Constitutional protections.

A friend of mine is a divorced grandfather, who currently “identifies as gay.” I know a musician who is married, and he and his wife have an adopted child. Prior to that, he was in a same-sex relationship for over 20 years. I used to work for a man who had been a male prostitute in his youth; when I knew him, he was a married father with kids, though he kept a picture of himself with his former “protector” on his desk at work.
One of the reasons that the push for “gay sex education” in schools at ever-younger ages is that it socializes and grooms kids hitting puberty into the homosexual subculture. This won’t be an issue for everyone, of course—but there are lots of kids who are confused and tentative about sex.
It used to be common to say, of apparently-homosexual teenagers, “it’s a phase they’re going through”—and it often is. The phenomenon of LUGs (“Lesbians Until Graduation”), particularly in all-female schools, is common enough to have its own acronym.
Face it—getting into something that “might be serious” is scary. Anybody else remember those eighth-grade and early high-school dances where the boys were on one side of the gym, the girls on the other, and everybody was afraid to cross that big, empty floor, especially in front of everyone? It’s not uncommon for kids at that age to “experiment” with a best friend before trying that other leap—but the “education” they’re getting is designed to make them, and their friends, consider them to be unchangeably “gay”—and funnel them into that subculture.
@ buzzsawmonkey:
I am not heterosexual by ‘choice’. I don’t believe sexual identity is a choice. I have known and been friends with bisexuals, gays, lesbians -- the gamut. ALL of them told me they knew by the time they were 10 what their orientation was. It is not a choice and it doesn’t change over time.
One of the most fun evenings of my life is when a lesbian couple I was friends with -- well, one was lesbian, one was bi -- took me to a gay bar. The highlight of the evening was running into a guy I worked with who was a transvestite -- dressed to the nines like Marilyn Monroe. Nobody at the office had a clue and he nearly fainted when he saw me. I THOUGHT this woman looked vaguely familar…god that was funny.

Perhaps you are not “heterosexual by choice,” but there are many, many people who will take a walk on the wild side given the right opportunity. It is an ongoing axiom of the homosexual world—the male homosexual world, at least—that deep down “everybody is gay” and that “anyone can be had.” And there are plenty of people who work at doing just that. Likewise, there are plenty of people—males, anyway—who are willing to cross the line for an orgasm or two, if they are reasonably sure it does not impact the rest of their lives. Not to mention the situational homosexual behavior which occurs in prisons and other same-sex environments.
My sister has said, “Women need a reason; men just need a place.” A lot of truth to that. Most of the boys who engage in mutual masturbation contests on the Boy Scout campout will grow up to be heterosexual husbands and fathers. Not all, probably, but most.
People are adept at rationalizing that they “knew what they wanted from the beginning.” For some that is true—but I’ve known a lot of people who were adept at revising their memories for the sake of comfort.
If “gay” men did not sleep with women at least occasionally, there would not be “fag hags” who seek (often successfully) to bed them. Most of what is regarded today as “gay identity” is a purely social and political construct. Most people have a preference one way or the other, but more of them cross the line than you might imagine. Most people have a choice about what they do about their preferences; a preference for one sex or the other is no different from a preference for blondes or redheads.

I really didn’t need to know that. But it does illuminate what we’ve all heard about the boys’ public schools in the UK doesn’t it?

I have to think about that. Say, in terms of black men being ‘on the downlow’

Not sure about the women needing a reason thing. Nowadays it seems that where young women at least are concerned, sexual identity is largely mutable. High school and college experimentation is mostly allowed by people while most men are pretty wary and consider experimentation to be unappealing.

Don’t count on it, he may be a hypocrite like Rosey ODonnell. Never trust what limbs say.

I had the scoop on that awhile back. Plus the explanation.
