Do you want any one running the country that has the blemishes either one of them has on their records...I don't.
I know the idea of having any gay Congressman is distasteful to right-wingers, but let's just take a closer look at these accusations against Barney Frank.

He admittedly had a relationship with a bisexual prostitute, Steve Gobie, who he had hired as an aide, and who was fired after Rep. Frank found out that he was using his house to conduct his prostitution business. The firing happened in 1987, two years before the House voted to reprimand him. BTW, the reprimand, after the House investigation, was for fixing parking tickets for Gobie, not running a prostitution ring.
So what you're so upset about is Rep. Frank fixing a few tickets. Hmmm, what group of assholes running the Country right now illegally dole out huge favors to personal friends and campaign contributors?
The only reason right-wingers go after Rep. Frank is because he's openly gay, and continues to get overwhelming support from his constituents, and it drives them crazy. Right-wingers just can't stand it when a gay person is in a position of power, hell, they can't stand it if a person is gay, period.

So what you're trying to say is that any violation of any law is the same. If that's true, no one in this entire Country would be qualified to hold office, including you.
