U.S. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., a fiery progressive, will appear in Hawaii in April for U.S. Rep. Mazie Hirono’s Democratic primary campaign for U.S. Senate.
Frank, who is not seeking another term, is a leading liberal voice nationally.
Both Frank and Hirono are members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Frank is expected in the islands on April 13.
Hirono is facing former congressman Ed Case in the Democratic primary. Former Gov. Linda Lingle is the top Republican candidate.

Wow, with no campaign of his own to worrry about, Barney will be letting loose even more more than usual, if that’s even possible. And, being a Caucasian homosexual Jew, no one can can accuse him of being a hater when he rips into his female counterpart, Linda Lingle. I can’t wait!

Wonder if Frank will bring his old boyfriend Steve Gobie? You remember Steve, don’t you? “Massachusetts Representative Barney Frank, an acknowledged homosexual, today confirmed that his Washington apartment had been used as a callboy headquarters by a male prostitute for a year and a half until late 1987.” Also, I hope Barney and Mazie talk up Frank’s role in helping to bring down the economy through his refusal to do anything about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac even as the handwriting was on the wall. “As ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee, Frank blocked tightened oversight over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, saying in 2003, “These two entities … are not facing any kind of financial crisis,” and, “I want to roll the dice a little bit more in this situation towards subsidized housing.” More than any other factor, the 2008 financial meltdown was caused by pushing these government-sponsored enterprises to encourage housing loans to risky borrowers.”" Yes, Mazie surely will be proud to stand alongside of Barney Frank. I, for one, can’t wait to see Barney appearing on Mazie’s television ads touting how much they are alike!

Hello Ohia, not a hater come on. When he retire the first thing he said is that he finally doesn’t have to be ni ce to people he dislikes. Thats a hater.
Hirono must be nuts to have one of the most destructive and corrupt congressman of all time campaign with her. He has admitted to his malfeasance in his oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac especially the corrupt executive compensation to his gay partner. The negative repercussions Dodd-Frank are still killing jobs across America.
Lazie Mazie is Crazy.

Never heard a Japanese call another Japanese a name and not be a racists. It seems only when a White person calls another race a name than they become racists.
Too bad missionaries only spread disease.
