Barney Frank was quite frank on with the silly girl. I know she felt really big, eh? Lol...

Clark, I do so look forward to these links offered on this site.(smile)

Those sound bites of Barney Frank is sure showing the purpose to not allow any counter views by the right-wingers...Mr. frank was priceless and I know that more of this is going to come if those Democrats want to keep their jobs as O-U-R state representives in Washington, D.C. because the Republicans have allowed those yelling matches at town hall meetings to make that party not even relivant right now...YES WE DID(sdmile)
