Barney Frank, Dopey in Maine

I simply can not let this pass without comment. Yesterday the news broke that Barney Frank, US Representative of Massachusetts Fourth Congressional District, was a witness to his boyfriend being arrested for possession of Marijuana plants a couple of years back. The arrest was at the boyfriends house in Maine, and Barney was there at the time. If you click on the link above, watch the FOX News video, and hear Barney’s response. It’s just too funny as he claims he does not know what a pot plant looks like. And of course, the jokes are running rampant today: “Hey Barney, if you want to know what dope looks like, look in the mirror!”.

We have a longstanding issue with Congressman Frank, and his pivotal role in the collapse of the US economy through his backing of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. More on that can be found here.

So the question is, how do we get rid of this embarrassment to Massachusetts?

Here is a map of the congressional districts of Massachusetts. Barney’s district, the 4th district, consists of the following towns:

Newtown, Wellesley, Millis, Dover, Foxboro, Mansfield, Sharron, Taunton, Lakeville, Rochester, Wareham, Middleboro, Halifax, Westport, New Bedford, Dartmouth, Freetown, Berkley, and Dighton.

It is these towns that have the power to dump this bozo. Who is the Republican challenger for US Rep against Barney for 2010? I am not saying there isn’t one, I just don’t know who it is. If anybody reading this knows the answer, post it as a reply or send me an email.

Also, I am looking for the Republican Town Committee Chairmen in all of those towns, so I can get a real-time status update as to how the challenge is progressing. If anyone knows those names, let me know. I know Foxboro has a strong town committee, with Angela Davis as the Chair.

As I get the info, I will post it over in the ‘Elections’ section of www.natickrepublicans.org
