Default Barney Frank not Running for Re-Election

I just saw this on NECN...I think it's good for Barney and all Americans when someone who has held office for so long decides to step down and let new blood in.

There should be term limits for congress and senate just like there is for president. Barney Frank is the reason for the Housing Bubble crash!

I agree 100%. There are too many financial benefits that result from being allowed to hold office long-term.

I'd LOVE to see Barney's average annual returns on his investments since he's been in office!! And honestly, we should have the right to see them.

It is that simple. The reason why our government is so ****ed up is because of politicians who have been in for 20+ years IE McCain, Frank, etc. They can do more harm than good. Bring in new blood that will actually listen to the people and not go against the people. There is so much corruption on both sides. We need new blood in congress and senate that are for the american people and not for lobbyist(if you dont know who they are, they are the big companies that give out money to both repubs and democrats to make more money for their company or you can call it croney capitalism).

You said that he was responsible for the housing bubble crash..

Do not contest that some folks serve in congress too long, but there are also some benefits from longevity that benefit the constituents..

Well, at least this will be the last time gutless Republicans will claim that he's the reason for this economic mess we're in. I'll never understand how he was more responsible than the Republican chairmen of the committees he was on, the Republican majority in both houses of Congress that existed for years leading up to this mess and the Republican President who held all the traditional authority of the Presidency for years leading up to the crash as well.

Somehow this one guy managed to overcome all of that combined authority? Really, he should have been a Bond villain.

There is a need by the right to demonize people or organizations to take the blame for societies ills.. see ACORN, Planned Parenthood, Barney Frank, Elizabeth Warren etc.

It is what they do, target someone, spread hysteria and lies and take them out.
