Barney Frank: GOP Ignored My Wedding

Odessa78 · 07-10-2012, 06:22 PM

Newlywed Barney Frank stopped by "The Bill Press Show" on Tuesday and discussed marrying his longtime partner, Jim Ready, over the weekend

Asked how fellow pols have reacted, the congressman said, “Mostly, the Republicans have ignored it. There have been no negative comments and I think a few years ago, there would have been. The climate is changing and opponents have realized that the country is moving beyond them. A couple of Republicans have privately congratulated me. The Democrats have been enormously enthusiastic and friendly.”

Way to use the fake wedding as a way to try and gain the gay vote for the democrats in November.

If this travesty of nature actually meant anything to him, he would never have used it as a campaign tool.

You know, this is the second time today somebody took the steam out of what could have turned into a beautiful and rewarding rant.

Let me go look for something else...

They're probably just mad that he posted a group invitation on the Senate cork board instead of individual invitations. Tacky, tacky!

I dunno. I think there are a lot of angry, repressed homo's on the right that will only be even more angry and more repressed because of this.

Or he didn't invite them in the first place. If I were a congressman, even I would have attended just out of protocol if nothing else. Not to mention the negative publicity that would and is coming from not showing up.
But I would not have kissed the bride.

Hummers burn too much gas for the value they give.
If its ok, I think I will just stick to the GM products for now.

But, that is a very cool door prize.
