Cap and trade regulations: Do you trust this man?

This is a red flag. On the House floor this afternoon, Barney Frank explained the “placeholder” in the cap and trade bill that apparently will deal with regulations of financial derivatives market associated with reducing carbon emissions.
Frank says he is confident a “good system will be in place.”
In other words: Trust him.
Trust him?
Are you ready for a sub-prime carbon market?

Arrrrrg!!!!!
Frank has got to go!
Trust that man? I have a hard time trusting myself to call him a man! A real man is someone who owns up to his errors in judgement.
flagit
Well, heck! Why didnya say so before. Bawnie says it’s a good deal. Count me in!
/sar
Trust frank, trust bho, trust mo, trust san fran nan, trust dodd, trust reid, it goes on and on almost as long as our debt. NO WAY!
L
I’ll reduce his carbon emissions…
Does he have teeth?
He is so disgusting I wouldn’t was a thought writing something about that f$a$g$g$o$t.
He’s just omitting the key words:
…and he means that with his whole heart.
as far as I can pick him up and throw him…with my back I couldn’t lift him off the floor…of course I’d have to be wearing a chem hazard suit first….
What letget said…in spades! (oooops raaaaaacist…sorry).
If Barney Frank says so, then where do I sign up? Maybe I could get a “massage” in his basement afterwards…(eeewww, can’t believe I said that, but it sounded chuckle worthy at the time).
Trust the most ethical congress in history?
I am still waiting for the punch line.
Trust a guy who doesn’t know there’s a brothel in the basement?
EXACTLY – AlohaGuy!!!! He’s runnin’ a gay male escort “pimp” service out his DC townhouse and he is still a member of Congress – just how in the hell is that possible? At this point, I am struggling to trust even a few of the Republicans! This is so disgusting and you can bet the average American has absolutely NO IDEA what this bill is all about. Term limits and fast, please.
Your assuming I trust Congress to begin with. Term limits now. Too may bad people have ruined it for the rest who are actually trying to work FOR the constituents.
Do I trust him? Yes…..
You know exactly what he’s going to do…
Errah, who is that fat lilly livered lying POS who stole the Honerable Rep. Frank’s suit and is now sitting at the mic?
I’m not crazy about trusting a politician, but we have to do it. Given the choice between Barny Frank and Mark Sanford, John Ensign, John McCain, etc., I choose Frank.
Birds of a feather and all that stuff, heh?
Errah. Rep. Bawnee Fwank doesn’t look very healthy. Might I suggest he see a doctor. Here’s one I’d recommend. I understand he available and will do house calls; Dr. Conrad Robert Murray
We certainly do not have to do it.
Even you should be skeptical about a bill with a placeholder. There is nothing transparent about that.
Even they couldn’t even finish it, they shouldn’t be putting it up to vote. That’s a no-brainer.
He’s a donkey fluffer!
I emphatically trust Bwarny Frank-lover.
I trust him to do the very worst things to this nation he can contrive to do.
I also trust lgm to be a demonstrable idiot, any time he gets the chance. Like here…
As constant as the Northern Star…
Errah, Bill with a placeholder???!!! Was the lobbiest busy?
[Replying to Teddy Kennedy]
Wacist!
I was going to comment on this but …naahhh
“Frank and Beans…….”

If it’s such a “good system”, Blarney Frank, why are you in such a rush to pass this bill before anyone has time to even read it? The only thing this system of yours is good for is “spreading the wealth” until we are all equal — equally poor and miserable, that is. Not even Democrat and Obama supporter Warren Buffett believes your hype. How about convincing him first?
If you find out the feeling is mutual, lgm, you might want to hurry before Republicans recapture both houses and outlaw same-sex marriage nationwide.
lgm: Faulty logic. Even if we can’t trust Sanford et al. (and in large part I agree with you there), your statement that we have to trust someone (in this case, someone on Capitol Hill) is incorrect.
There is nothing saying I have to trust any of them, Democrat or Republican.
That’s true, but that’s because you are a thinking, feeling, conservative who actually has a couple of working brain cells and uses them, unlike lgm who just follows. If a “D” is beside someone’s name, why, that’s all he needs.
Did you know he’s a math teacher?
Oh, so this is why Congressional elections matter…
/sarc
What we are seeing is the ascendancy of witchcraft, driving legislation that is breathtaking in its scope, and devastating to our economy.
It is a recipe for returning the US to a a standard of living consistent with the 1800s.
That is what you can trust these LUDDITES to do. Malthusianism via unnecessary, corrupt law.
STARVE THE BEAST. REFUSE TO BE EATEN.
Misscheryl: I have heard that lgm is a math teacher. I do not see where that has a bearing on anything he (presumably) says, in either a positive or negative way.
If lgm wishes to follow, that is his right. However, incorrect logic (such as the false dichotomy he used here) should be combatted wherever possible.
Hmmm, didn’t they burn witches at the stake, back in the good old days?

fg, thanks for the save at the end. I thought we were going to have to rename you “frontiergay”. But you did recover in time.
I love Barney Frank.
That is all. Have a nice weekend.
you betcha!
RSS,
You have a nice weekend, too, Carville.
Take care, Misscheryl.
For the record, I don’t trust Rep. Frank, for exactly the reasons that Ms. Malkin gives.
I believe Forrest Gump was talking about you when he said, “Stupid is as stupid does.” Frank is one of the most corrupt weasels in the world, let alone Congress.
ECS
No accounting for taste, but do you trust him?
ECS
how does this or any of the slime balls keep getting re-elected? Maybe its time to start boycotting the goods produced in the states these POS, lying thieves represent. I really wanted a Dr Powertiller this spring until I found out it was manufactured in Vermont.
And, if the people of Minnesota allow al franken to seated as teir Senator, I will not buy anything produced in that state.
I trust that he’s a liar and can be counted on to continue to lie.
I have to say, eww.
Sometimes we are a bit harsh on lgm…perhaps we should consider his story…remember this Darwin Award?
Based on a bet by the other members of his threesome, Everitt Sanchez tried to wash his own “b*lls” in a ball washer at the local golf course. Proving once again that beer and testosterone are a bad mix. Sanchez managed to straddle the ball washer and dangle his scrotum in the machine. Much to his dismay, one of his buddies upped the ante by spinning the crank on the machine while Sanchez’s scrotum was in place, thus wedging them solidly in the mechanism. Sanchez, who immediately passed beyond his threshold of pain, collapsed and tumbled from his perch. Unfortunately for Sanchez, the height of the ball washer was more than a foot higher off the ground than his testicles are in a normal stance, and it turned out that the scrotum was the weakest link. Sanchez’s scrotum was ripped open during the fall. Sanchez was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery.
And as the late Paul Harvey would say, “here is the rest of the story”…
The doctors were able to save the left testicle but Sanchez’ family started noticing stranger behavior during his recovery. Once a moderate Republican, he starting spewing hate towards his former party and their representatives. Psychiatrists were perplexed but finally realized that this testosterone imbalance caused the radical shift. In addition, he also developed dislexia.
Sanchez began to identify with the character played by Daniel Day Lewis in “My Left Foot”. He then decided to adapt the moniker for his web name but to incorporate the remaining survivor of the fall. So due to the onset of dislexia, “My Left Gonad” became “lgm”.
So maybe next time, you may consider going a little easier on the guy…he has been through so much.
You are out of your mind, LGM. Picking Frank of all the above scumbags is like picking to drink a gallon of pure strichnine. Barney Franks, Sen. Dodd and the Clinton administration were the cause of the subprime mortgage meltdown of late (with Barack Obama a willful accomplice to the same).
So American mythology would have it.
Now, we elevate them to high office.
The very people who PRETEND to vaunt science are the greatest enemies of science in the modern era. They despise the progress in the human condition that science has given us, and prefer this pagan religion of Ghia. This madness will kill Americans, and reduce us to misery.
If this incredible wrong is passed into law, we must remember all who supported it, against a coming day.
Oy, what a vivid and fertile imagination you have! Thanks for the laugh.
At first, I believed that LGM had made the stupidest statement I had heard all week.
But then RSS proclaimed his love for the Donkey Fluffer (Definitely the funniest thing I have heard all week – thanks Hangfire).
Which one of you Trolls can be more inane than RSS? Tough job, I know – but one of you has the ability – I have faith in you..
Awwwwwww man, I always loved the Karmann Ghia … please tell me you are referring to the Gaia thing?
War;
Kant spel…
Me, too! That guy Harvey was so talented. Designing cars…and I loved his work in Blazing Saddles! Some guys just have it all…
Crap and Trade..
That’s Hedley…
Is that a ribald nickname for Mr. Frank-Lover…???
Fits.
tbear…
I call it CRAP & RAID, which is on point, I think.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm … Mongo Like Beeeeeeeeeeans!
LOL Thanks!
Maybe it is just me, but the picture of that soft, moist hand and the lips strategically covering his teeth just make my flesh crawl.
he needs the bio suit more than me if he chooses Frank….
I have a place holder position for Barney…
More like the hockey mask from Silence Of The Lambs and the chastity belt from Robin Hood: Men In Tights…
We have a saying in the Army: “F%$^ up, move up.”
cabrerski, i blew diet coke through my nose on the story of lgm. autopsy results on michael show he died from food poisoning brought on by eating 12 year old weiners. bawney must have a cast iron stomach as the weiners he professes to love are older than 12 years, or so he professes. trust me, i won’t …
Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi
Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid
Proof positive…
Do I trust him….let’s just say I would decline shaking hands with him. He just doesn’t look like a guy that washes his hands very often.
I can’t stand that pic of him. WHERE ARE HIS TEETH??? He is a disgrace to his district and to gay people everywhere. I wouldn’t trust him to say “hello”.
I am sorry, I cannot stand to look at this toothless wonder any longer. I understand WHY he chooses to be toothless.
Glad to see you’ve learned your lesson Winston!!
Freedom IS slavery!!
Makes perfect sense:
Line item veto = unconstitutional
Line item insert = “Trust me!”
This from the party that was against signing statements before they were for them.
As I understand this, the bill is exactly what Oblah-blah promised Joe the Plumber…this is the bill that goes farther than any other to redistribute wealth. We now know who are traitors to this country…and they need to go.
Duncan D. Hunter is the ONLY person in Congress that I trust at this point. I’m very glad I helped elect him.
LGM always trusts a man who has had a male homosexual prostitution ring run from his home.
Heck, it;s just a felony. No big thing.
How can anyone, including you lgm, support Fwank? He is a disgusting piece of filth who should be behind bars.
Even on the ugliest and saddest of days we find things to make us smile
, thank you cabrerski.
No man in the picture

I trust Bawhny Fwank, Adolph Hitler (RIH), Joseph Stalin (RIH), President Jimmuh Carter (?), President Obama (PBUH) and his minions to do their best to trash liberty and people’s rights. They always deliver the worst in their quest to “help the little guy” as they enrich themselves at other people’s expense.

I would be very afraid to go into the restroom or shower with the very moral Bawney Fwank. Too many germs there.

LGM is a no-brainer too. So it just figures he’ll go along with that rump ranger of a polititian. Perhaps Big O will pull the rest of the bill out of his prison wallet.
The last time I was in D.C. I was told that Barney Frank was near by. Then I accidentally dropped my car keys. I had to kick those keys from the Capitol building all the way over the Pentagon building before I thought it was safe to bend over and pick them up.
Definition of TRUST :
1 a: assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something b: one in which confidence is placed
This Cap and Trade Bill WAS NOT EVEN WRITTEN when they voted to Pass it!!!
Waxman brought in a SPEED READER!!!
I WILL NEVER TRUST A POLITICIAN AGAIN!
Carp (bottom feeders) have more dignity.
I heard this before somewhere: “No, No, a thousand times NO!!” Barney Frank should be marking the wall in Prison. The man is a criminal. The entire “meltdown” of our financial system can be traced to his manipulations.
That said:
Re: Cat and Trade Legislation
I just finished listening to Boehner’s forensic analysis of the 300 page amendment dropped on the House’s desk at 3:00AM Friday morning.
Any one who voted for this bill should be indicted for TREASON. It is so unconstitutional as to defy explanation. It steals from the people unimaginable amounts of treasure based on a semi-scientific fraud, AND, they know it is a fraud!!
If this was done to “make the Cap and Trade Bill happen” I can not imagine what lengths these crooks will go to get Nationalized Health Care.
PC is Thought Control
LEE
Funny how you can’t reach ANY of the republican congressmen that voted in favor of this this ALL WEEKEND!
I know why Congressman Frank doesn’t have any teeth….it’s not a pretty thought, believe me!!!
APACHERAT #82: Wow…haven’t laughed that hard in a week – I’m still gasping for air.
Can you imagine Barney in jail?–ooooh, I’m making myself sick.
