Barney Frank announces he's not running for re-election
What she said.
I feel so frustrated and disappointed by our current political system. Granted, the man has been in office for decades, and all good things have to come to an end, but still: when running for re-election means giving up your real job as a congressman and turns you into a full-time fundraiser and campaigner, THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN.
Predictably (and as he should), Frank blames the conservative media for deepening the divide between parties. But he also places blame on the millions of moderates in our country who are simply too damn quiet. I’m with him. Will all the sane and normal people please stand up?? You’re our last hope.
