I AM NOT A REPUBLICAN I AM INDEPENDENT,, I JUST DONT LIKE THE DOUBLE STANDARD

Answer 1

Barney Frank did nothing immoral or illegal:
• He did his deeds with *consenting adults*
• It was never proven that he "ran a gay prostitute ring from the basement of his home" or anything of the sort.

What Mark Foley did was immoral and illegal:
• He solicited sex from underaged boys.

The difference is as clear as night and day. Republicans are screeching the name Barney Frank like a bunch of howler monkeys because they're in damage control mode. It's always funny to see Republicans in damage control mode because they become so childish when they get caught.

Answer 2

I fail to work out how this takes any blame or duty removed from the main important function Barney Frank's management performed in the own loan disaster. Barnie Frank by using ways replaced into in a courting with then Fannie Mae government, Frank Moses from 1987 -1998. He additionally won $40 two,350 in marketing campaign contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac between 1989 and 2008. one greater reason we could desire to vote those existence long incumbents out of workplace.

Answer 3

The difference is the democrats celebrate their sex offenders and temporarily develop moral outrage when it is a republican .
Besides the prostitution ring out of his apartment , Barney Franks fixed dozens of parking tickets and still refused to resign .
Like Clinton , Franks is celebrated for his perversion . In 2004 -if you can believe this :Franks was named the most intelligent Democrat in the House of Representatives .
The drive-by media encourages and promotes this lunacy .

Answer 4

First, was it ever proven that Congressman Frank hired a prostitute? Second, was the individual with whom he was involved below the legal age of consent at the time of the incident? Neither of these questions can be honestly answered in the affirmative, and the second question in particular is why Foley resigned in disgrace and is in a heap of trouble and Congressman Frank is still in office.

Answer 5

The difference is that the Republicans want to give an
image that homosexuality is against their God & that they
Never do anything wrong.
The Democrats are made of all kinds of people & that's
the way we like it. Barney Frank was 15 yrs., ago.
Apparently, we were able to learn from it.

Answer 6

The sad thing about this issue is the fact that a person's private life was attacked by finger pointing self-proclaimed gods that think every person should live by their standards. The worst of these people are so-called religious people, especially religious politicians, of whom refuse to mind their own goddamn business, they're the real problem. 16 yr olds are NOT children, nor minors, that's what the brainwashing false gods of religions and governments misled you into believing, and so long as a persons-(regardless of age) personal choices are CONSENSUAL then so be it.

Answer 7

Barney Frank was openly homosexual, never charged with prostitution or for any other related crime, and therefore didn't need to resign because he had done nothing wrong.

Answer 8

The big difference, is the fact that Foley actions were to minors and frank it was consenting adults. not saying anything yeah or ney for either only the difference. But minors versus consenting adults, does make a difference to me.

Answer 9

Barney Frank is a lib democrat, as is 90% of the media, therefore did not have a target painted on his back. The're both sick, but the media and the dems would never go after one of their own.

Answer 10

I'm sure there are a lot of perverts on both sides.

I think the Elite aspect of their lifestyles foments perversion more than the Democratic or Republican aspects of it.
