An earmark, an earmark, my kingdom for an earmark…come Freddie Mac, come Fannie Mae, my kingdom for an earmark!

Politico:

House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) is pressing state and federal authorities to seek criminal and civil penalties on financial actors that helped cause the current crisis.

“Rules don’t work if people have no fear of them,” Frank said at a press conference Thursday.

He announced a hearing March 20 with Attorney General Eric Holder, bank regulators and the Securities and Exchange Commission as witnesses to discover what their plans are to prosecute irresponsible and in some cases criminal behaviors.

He isn’t looking for names, Frank said, but “I do want all the people with enforcement power, state and federal, in that room.”

Frank also announced that two financial entities have returned or are planning to return a total of $7.6 billion worth of Troubled Asset Relief Program funds.

One of these is Northern Trust, which returned $1.6 billion after Frank and other Democrats on his panel publicly slammed the bank for sponsoring a PGA golf tournament and other lavish perks.

    he should turn himself in..and then have rangel arrested..they would make perfect cell mates.

    :arrow: Z,

    that goes without saying, and would be the case without the mess they have caused

    I just love how these politicians all think they are above the law. First round up should be him, Doud, Pelosi, Reid, Rangle and all of the tax cheats in the DNC.

    Yes. And once we have dragged their bullet-riddled corpses away from the wall, we line up anyone from the other party (funny thing is I cannot think of any recently except for the ex-Senator from Alaska) who is guilty of similar crimes. And Justice For All.

    Then we can take the country back.

    GEEZUS! We’re now all living in the Banana Republic of America.

    No republican will stand up to this weenie rubber. They are gutless humans.

    Barney “the mumbler” Frank….Head of the House Financial Services…Where the hell was he when all of this was happening on his watch….

    What an ass clown…No pun intended….Well maybe a little…

  8. Bulldog

    Barney Frank,Chris Dodd and Chuck Schumer did the same thing ranking Enron officials did and they went to prison,now these thugs are conducting an investigation. This is really to much!!!

  9. American Woman (bitter clinger to my guns and religion)

    Now I know the world is upside down.
    This ass clown should be hung out to dry!!

    :arrow: RightWingWitch
    The senator from Alaska also stepped down, but his charges were nothing like these assholes. He took a couple thousand in home repairs and a freaking fountain.

    The GOP needs to drum beat this crap, always naming them whenever speaking of the economic crisis
    Carter and Clintons community reinvestment act
    Clintons predatory leanding
    Fwank and Dodd
    Frank Raines making millions

    This is why the GOP is getting rolled over because they have no backbone, they do not fight back. Look what they did to Bush, he stayed above the fray and they trashed him consistantly for 8 years. The result was effective even though false. Facts are on there side use them!!!!!

    frank and dodd would be court martialed for dereliction of duty if they were in the military… this mess started after they took control… emanual, gorlick, raines, corzine, rezko, odumba and the rest have made a mockery of the mortgage business… all to the happy note of soros,, the true leader..

  11. Marked Right

    If the US Justice Department, led by Attorney General Eric Holder was truly nonpolitical, they would march into the halls of Congress and remove Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Charlie Rangel in handcuffs.

    More tax cheats in politics. 10% of GA legislators late or haven’t paid

    They don’t have to be cellmates. I’m sure Barney has sucked it for Rangle, Dodd, and Reid, and Shumer a bunch over the years.

  14. aboutTObegin

    well, this idiot needs to start with the Main Stream Media!!!!! They are the ones responsible for instilling the panic in the public which ultimately resulted in the public not spending which ground everything to a halt!!!! then lets move onto the usurper and his $.175 trillion spent on WHAT in less than 45 days in office!!!!! HANG ALL OF THE GUILTY! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

  15. aboutTObegin

    I mistyped the amount in my previous post….

    $1.75 Trillion

    Dimocrats mistake a short memory for a clear conscience.

  17. Dan (The Infidel)

    Blarney The Fag ( :evil: ) ought to be arrested for running a whore house out of his home in DC. Then he should be hung by the neck for what he and his Senate Banking clique did to our economy. Fucking traitor-ass slug. :mad:

    :arrow: Dan (The Infidel)

    I guess the reason Bonnie Fwank is a FAG is because the thinks he’s hung already.

    All Democrats need to be hanged by the neck (even the dogcatchers and dog killers like Michael Vick) since even the little Dems grow up to be traitors.

    We know that if Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Lincoln, and even Roosevelt or Truman were alive, they would wipe the current Dems from the face of the Earth.

    Wait so Barney Frank wants to punish himself? AWESOME!
