Default Barney Frank on Gambling Prohibition

Thought some of the people here might enjoy this quote:

“What kind of social, cultural authoritarianism are we practicing here?
“I think (the bill) is a great infringement on liberty. When it comes to an individual decision on how to spend your own time and money, that's not my position. That’s not my business. I am skeptical of people who want to protect people from themselves.”

Yeah, ol' Barney Frank has always seemed to have some sense. I used to see him as a frequent guest on Bill Mahrer, and he always came off as pretty sane.

Since Barney Frank is openly homosexual, I think the majority of Americans would feel otherwise.

But I get your point, Doolally, and I agree. I don't care if a politician is gay, straight, or a big crazy transvestite. I only care about if they're qualified, honest, and have a desire to represent the people.
