A GOP unknown is in striking range of Barney Frank

[spidey07]

Wow. Who could ever see this even being close, I mean that's "Barney's seat". What an upset that would be and a true bellwether for what's happening all across the nation as the conservative tidal wave is taking over.

Ask Bielat to name the three worst things Frank has done in office and you get an idea of what his focus would be, if elected. "You've got to start with Freddie and Fannie and his unending push to expand homeownership," Bielat says. "He definitely played an enormous role in getting us where we are today in terms of the real estate bubble and the ensuing financial collapse."

Number two? "Financial reform, because it doesn't address Fannie and Freddie and vastly expands oversight of the financial services sector."

Three? "His view on what government should and should not do." Simply put, Frank wants an always-expanding federal government, and Bielat doesn't.

Keep dreaming. He's popular in his district and that is all that counts.

Come on, let's bet. One million cash. Put up or shut up. You man enough? Let's bet. $5000 cash and a year's supply of dim sum. Anywhere, anytime baby. $10,000 cash and a ball of lint. Put your money where your mouth is. Let's go baby.

Once upon a time the idea of Brown winning the MA seat was just as unthinkable. It's still an incredible long shot since the people of that district have already repeatedly shown their stupidity by electing that moron back to his office...... but there's hope. Bielat is clearly more qualified and a better candidate.

One poll shows Frank with "only" a 10 point lead. Wow, the title of that article, and this thread, are just so much FAIL.

But what will spidey say if the unknown GOP candidate loses in Nov?

LOL. Are those the same comments you might have posted a while back when Brown was running? The fact that it's only a 10 point lead is very significant. According to the article the crook (Frank) usually takes 65-75% of the vote. That means 65-35 (30 points) or 75-25 (50 points). It's hard to overcome the advantages of a crooked incumbent that's been entrenched for a long time, the fact that it's relatively close says a lot.

He wouldn't have to say anything, that candidate is expected to lose, he is a huge underdog.

He'll point to the Rainbow Coalition of Black Panthers who were cheerfully intimidating all of the real Americans at the polls with their extreme black gayness.

That's the point. Even in my disctrict it wasn't even supposed to be close. In congressional races all over the nation the conservative candidates are gaining or leading in what was assumed to be uncontested races.

 

[spidey07]

More reading shows Scott Brown won this district. MA upset #2 in the making.

Ok, so if they come in 2nd place, they still lose, right?

 

[PokerGuy]

It's still a tremendous longshot, but how about a second "shot heard around the world" from MA? That would be great. Bielat is an excellent candidate, that blowhard Frank can't hold a candle to him. Perhaps the folks in that district could wake up to reality one of these days as well.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Frank can't lose. The deck is stacked.

A lot of the district is "rich" people. Good chance they can tell frank to FO because of supporting the obama tax hikes.

Anyone who is realistic knows it, but hey, there's always that slim chance that out of nowhere lightning will strike again.

Lets make a deal. Grayson stays, Barney goes.

who takes an even bet on a long shot?

 

[JSt0rm]

$50,000 to $5,000 barney wins!

 

[First]

Bet on it wimpy.

 

[CitizenKain]

This is like a repeat of watching all the Ron Paul people get hyped up whenever there is a poll that shows Ron Paul in the lead.
Also, I get a kick out of someone who served in the military complaining about government spending.

 

[werepossum]

I predict Barney will scratch his eyes out. No one can beat a caricature.
