Barney Frank hits another one out of the park...
Rachel Maddow Show: Barney Frank on compromise
This notion of bipartisanship runs contrary to democracy...
How do I love Barney Frank? Let me count the ways.
Check out his point about bipartisanship. He is absolutely right. We had an election, and the right LOST by an overwhelming majority. It is against the spirit of democracy for them to cry now and demand that we do what they say. NO SIR. The people of America voted the right wing OUT. That means they don't get to run things anymore. They were certainly fine with having things their own way when they were in the seat of power. Now they should shut the fuck up and accept that they screwed up and were DEFEATED. That's what democracy is supposed to be - the voice of the people, not the voice of the poobahs terrified that they fucked themselves up and might be forced to change with the times.
I wish we could clone Barney Frank and send the copies out to every pundit show and "news" program on TV. This man argues the issues better than anyone I've seen in a LOT of years. He knows the facts, knows the counterarguments, is nimble and quick, and doesn't take shit from ANYONE. THIS is the guy we need.
Think there's any chance of him running for President someday?
