Barney Frank Voted Porker Of The Year

h/t email from Sissy Willis - from Citizen's Against Government Waste. It's nice to know someone's paying attention. Barney Frank was voted their Porker of the Year. No Deliverance jokes, please. I haven't had my breakfast, yet.

(Washington, D.C.) - Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) today announced the results of its online poll for the 2009 Porker of the Year. House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank, (D-Mass.) won with 49 percent of the vote. In second place was Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) with 26.3 percent. Third-place honors went to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) with 6.6 percent. Honorable mentions go out to Rep. Russ Carnahan (D-Mo.) with 5.9 percent and Rep. Neil Abercrombie (D-Hawaii) with 5.5 percent. President Barack Obama was the overwhelming favorite in the write-in category, coming in just behind Rep. Abercrombie and ahead of last-place Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood.

In an astounding “Barney-Come-Lately” statement on January 22, 2010, Chairman Frank said that his committee will now recommend “abolishing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in their current form and coming up with a whole new system of housing finance.” Taxpayers should not hold their breath in the misguided belief that the Chairman has suddenly gotten religion on privatization. “The seeds of the GSE meltdown were sown by politicians like Barney Frank. He has no intention of giving up federal control over housing finance. Taxpayers can be certain that he is already cooking up a new and obscenely expensive scheme to permanently nationalize housing finance,” said CAGW President Tom Schatz.

Frank, Obama, Waters and Abercrombie are all documented Socialist/Marxists: http://www.commieblaster.com/progressives/index.html

This is really dumb, people just hate him because he's gay. A real organization would examine which Congressman obtained the most money for their district, not do some totally inaccurate online poll.
