A Message from Barney Frank
“I haven’t always been this partisan, and I hope not to be. The only way to break the stranglehold the far right has on the Republican party is for them to get badly beaten. To get to a less partisan situation, we have to be very partisan. We have to punish Republicans for their cowardice. That’s why this is so important.” — Retired Congressman Barney Frank, addressing DVC supporters in Palo Alto
