Barney Frank debate - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Recently, Rep Barney Frank debated his republican challenger, Sean Bielat. The debate was moderated by Emily Rooney, you can watch it on youtube (I can't post the link from work).

Watching this debate, it amazes me that anyone could possibly vote for Frank. I have voted democrat before, I'm not brainwashed or anything. I just don't get, though, how anyone could possibly vote for Frank. Bielat was hardly allowed to speak at all, but when he did, he just gutted Frank like a fish.

I think this is the one you are referring to:

I wish everyone could watch this

Hey Sean, please move to RI - thanks!

Seriously though. lets get down to issues at hand and real questions.

Before you vote, I ask you this; in his career, who took more balls of the chin?

Johnny Bench or Barney Frank?

Nothing. just another homophobe.

You guys need to lighten up. It's something called a joke. That's another thing wrong with this country. Can't joke about anything. People on edge all the time (can't say this, can't do that....jeeze).

Not a homophobe either (I'm actually a lesbian

).

You guys can go on haveing threads about chicks breasts and a little joke like that gets comments. Serious?

Not necessarily homophobic, 'twas a funny joke a few years back that has been squashed by the PC police. "What has hit more balls than Yastremski's bat? ...."

In the context related to the election, not an issue for me.

Reportedly, the mayor of my town (R) is gay, and I've voted for him the past several elections. Gasp, could it be a gay republican mayor ?

Piscator - I had this typed out before getting a tech support call

- If it is a joke, use a smiley

- helps reduce some of the ambiguity of the interblab...

As for Fwank, vote him out.
