Barney Frank is just doing his job
Edited on Fri Jan-18-08 05:41 PM by ProSense
for Hillary's campaign: Rep. Frank Will Serve As Economic Adviser

He is also Ann Lewis' brother:

Ann Lewis Senior Advisor for Hillary Clinton for President, has served as the Director of Communications for HillPAC and Friends of Hillary 2005-2007 and from 1997 –2000 as Director of Communications and then Counselor to Bill Clinton. She was Director of Communications and Deputy Campaign Manager for the Clinton-Gore Re-Election Campaign in 1995- 1996, and Senior Advisor to the campaign of Hillary Rodham Clinton for U.S. Senate in 2000. As the National Chair of the DNC Women’s Vote Center, she led the Democratic Party’s major initiative to reach, engage, and mobilize women voters from 2002- 2004.


For the 2008 presidential election, Ann Lewis, senior campaign adviser for the Hillary Clinton campaign, has identified A new voting bloc: the Single Anxious Female, or SAF, a moniker that, naturally, was mocked even as it was incorporated wholesale into election analysis.

3. The point is he is a Clinton surrogate. That should be figured
into what he said, agree or disagree.

17. Because he is without honor and will lie for...what reason?
That is what you're saying, right?

As we must assume that anyone with a known preference for Obama who says anything good about him MUST be lying his ass off?

Does it NEVER occur to you geniuses that slime is a two-way street?

29. The whole point is moot. Reagan is one of Hillary's favorite presidents:
http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/release/view/?id=4674

Her list of favorite presidents - Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, both Roosevelts, Truman, George H.W. Bush and Reagan - demonstrates how she thinks. As expected, Bill Clinton was also included on the aforementioned list.



Look, I am beginning to laugh about all of this. I mean, it's getting ridiculous. But since the Clinton campaign chose to attack Obama for daring to cite a Republican for how to transform politics, well, tough luck to her if she's going to be caught looking silly.

12. OK. So then you should stop posting anything Kerry says about Obama.
Edited on Fri Jan-18-08 05:38 PM by Harvey Korman
Obviously he's biased.

32. "A little biased maybe?"
You point was his affiliation with the campaign means he is biased and his comments slamming Obama should be ignored.

But you think a different standard should be applied to John Kerry based on what?

Official campaign status?

Because Kerry who more than just his endorsement, sharing his email fundraising list and canvassed for Obama is somehow unbiased in his opinion of Obama?

:rofl:

24. So Kerry is not biased as a stump campaigner for Obama?
Is that what you are trying to claim?

Keep digging!

23. He's not a surrogate
he's a highly intelligent man who is more than capable of speaking his own ideas.
