I just stumbled onto your site. WOW!!! I am a Native American (Sioux/Mountain Cahuilla) and I dont cut my people any slack when it comes to ethics. Thanks for being reasonable and articulate about your beliefs. Barney Frank is the epitomy of being white (white man speak with forked tongue). He speaks the talk but doesnt walk the walk.

#16 – Dan, don’t hold your breath waiting for a response from those DNC butt-boys. They’ll always defend Ms. Fwank because she’s “one of them.”

Gary, thanks for sharing that. I’m thinking of writing to gay organizations and asking their respective executive directors to join me in requesting that the Ethics Committee look into Mr. Frank’s conflict of interest to show they’re serious about holding gay relationships to the same standards as straight ones.

Are you following the comments on The Advocate that a few brave souls are making about Barney Frank? Of course the gay left comes out swinging and name calling.

Dear Mr. Blatt, It sure is an honor to tell it like it is! You are, Mr. Blatt, a very bright gentleman and I am proud to meet you and proud of you. You, Mr. Blatt, are also a brave person and I commend you.
Many liberals and perhaps some conservatives are afraid that if one of the representatives or senators brings this motion of Barney Frank’s conflict of interest to the floor, the homosexual and lesbian folks of our nation would consider them to be anti-gays. It has nothing to do with sexual orientation; it all has to do with a “conflict of interest” and the ethics of Congress be it heterosexual or homosexual.
My husband is ill at this time and my daughter too plus I attend night school; however, I have copied your letter and I sure will follow you in your leadership role you have demonstrated and try to get it to our congressmen/women to act on your letter, which is very well done. But most importantly, why are you not running for Congress; you are certainly qualified, unlike those that are currently representing us. What happened to “we the people”; we must stay alert as you are and confront our leadership. One day, I may address you as Congressman Blatt and I will be proud you are representing all of us “we the people”.
Wishing you the very best in all that you do, truly,
Maria Elena Friskel, Kansas City, KS

Count me in as another proud conservative gay who is ASHAMED of Bawney Fwank, otherwise known as “the Banking Queen.” (H/T El Rushbo.)

um, legally they were nothing more than good friends or maybe strangers sharing the rent – so why would Barney step down?

Even if that were true, you don’t find that the least bit unseemly? Don’t you think he should have recused himself?

i am an italian student that likes american politics. i beg you pardon in case of errors in the grammar or the spelling of the post. The Doma is very clear and limits the meaning of the word spouse in every federal statute to an opposite sex partner.In this case we have a federal legislator and a federal agencie(fannie mae)and the doma regulates the question. The downgrading,as i have shown,is part of the law of the land until legislative action or judicial review decides otherwise.Also an ipotetic massachusset marriage would be void for all federal purpose.the rights and the duties of the marital status are connected .

Bahney Fwank is no different from any other two-faced liberal. Screaming for equality in every area that benefits him, but giving himself special consideration if it’s something to his detriment.

#2: Me, too. I consider him a dishonorary heterosexual for his actions. I wouldn’t sleep with him if I downed a gallon of Jim Beam.

I dunno. My Rep seems to be busy running for Fl. AGCOMM. I may e-mail it and put it on his Facebook wall as well.

A good question for the WH oughta be whether or not it’s appropriate for the Press Sec. to state that a former VP is a member of a “cabal” and/or to state that he’s not worth getting advice from.

Gibbs needs to pack his shit and go. He should take the blithering idiot mouthpiece from DOS with him.

Dan,

I copied, modified and sent this letter off to my congressman, Jerry McNerney.

First off, I can not begin to understand why a congressman would make his web site so user unfriendly. I had to know the subsidiary zip code number for my local zip code before I could even hope to post an email to him. Guess he’s tired of hearing from us.

BTW, great letter. You are exactly right, if we want equal treatment, we have to demand equal treatment, even if it is prosecution for crimes.

Gee, Mark, I said the same thing on this blog a few weeks ago when the “Does Barney have any ethics” question first arose.

Dan suggests: “… when the Democratâ€™s conflict of interest came to light, write to my Congressman, Henry Waxman, asking to refer the matter to the House Ethics Committee.”

Hey good luck with that, Dan; Waxman’s lack of ethics and political pandering makes Barney look like a priest.

Ooops, bad choice of comparison, eh? Makes Barney look like a bastion of morality.

Barney Frank makes me ashamed to be gay.
