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.

Don't put words in my mouth. I have no problem with gay people holding any office. They have the same rights as you or me.

They should be held to the same moral and ethical standards as any other elected officials...Which should be higher than the average man on the street.

Is Mr. Frank so unaware of his surroundings that he is not able to figure out what is going on in his own household? If the man is not able to run his own household how can he be trusted to help run our country?

Everyone has committed a crime in their live. Some in fact disqualify you from holding from holding public office. Crimes of moral turpitude...Hiring a prostitute and allowing a bordello to operate in your place of residence...Well you make the call. I would be fired from my job if I did that. Fixing parking tickets is also against the law...I would be fired for doing so.

Is Mr. Frank any better than I?

When are left wingers gonna accept their people are just as able to become power hungry and forget why they were elected as the right wingers?

Quit making excuses for fuckups. Vote the bums out.
