BOSTON (FOX25, myfoxboston)- FOX25 has learned that Congressman Barney Frank was present during a marijuana arrest at James Ready's home in Ogunquit, Maine. Ready is well-known for his relationship with Congressman Frank.
According to a police report, police charged Ready with marijuana possession, cultivation and use of drug paraphernalia in August of 2007. Ready admitted to civil possession and paid a fine. The remaining charges were dismissed in 2008.
Sources tell FOX25 that when Frank was questioned he told police that he did not live in the house and that he only smoked cigars.
Congressman Frank tells FOX25 that he was surprised and disappointed with what police found. He also tells us that he wouldn't recognize a marijuana plant if he saw one because he is, "not a great outdoorsman," and ,"wouldn't recognize most plants."

Wow. You got to love this guy. Absolutely no respect for the law. It was several years ago another one of his partners was arrested for running a prostitution ring out of one of Barney Frank's homes. You really got to love his excuse too. "I wouldn't know what a marijuana plant looks like." Yeah you might not but all the equipment set up indoors might be a clue. If Barney is really this dim maybe Mass. needs to quit sending him to Congress. After all he did attack the regulator who was trying to reign in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac saying nothing was wrong there and the regulator was going after them unfairly.

Selecia you have to open your eyes and read and quit being a blind partisan loyalist.
1. "Congressman Frank tells FOX25 that he was surprised and disappointed with what police found. He also tells us that he wouldn't recognize a marijuana plant if he saw one because he is, "not a great outdoorsman," and ,"wouldn't recognize most plants." This tells me he saw the plants and admitted that he saw them but did not recognize what they were. Now if you buy that line that's fine, I don't. If you didn't think anything of them by themselves these grows usually have watering and lighting systems the average person would never have inside their home. That should have made the average person wonder.
2. This is the second time Frank has been around illegal activities. The first time a partner of his was running a prostitution business out of one of Barney Frank's homes. Once again Barney claimed not to know. He obviously doesn't catch on very quick.
3. Barney Frank was among those who attacked the regulator who was trying to sound the alarm on Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and stood in the way of regulation of Freddie and Fannie. In fact Barney Frank did everything to prevent regulation of them.

What I am saying is that this is another indication of Barney Frank's poor judgment and why he should not be re-elected. The fact that Barney may actually be an innocent party is possible but doubtful. What I do see is an absolute failure in judgment across the board. Now argue my points and not nonsense.

Please don't mush and mash the Freddie and Fannie issue with a Mary Jane arrest of his partner. There is really no line to connect the issues.

Any one incident could be summed up as a mistake or poor choice. Take these three over a period of several years and he shows a pattern of bad judgment. If this were a Republican you would feel differently. I don't care what party affiliation this kind of a track record of poor judgment shouldn't be ignored.

With all due respect, I told you the same thing on the purpose thread. I gave specific examples of repeated, mean spirited behavior from a pastor's wife, no less, and you ignored that.
When I said repeated, deliberate behavior is indicative of a pattern versus a mistake...your only reply was you don't believe in mistakes. And that mistakes are a window to your heart. Now you say the above with regard to Barney Frank, and that a mistake can be a single event while repeated behavior is a pattern. So which is it, WSC? I can post the exact comments from the purpose thread if you don't recall that.
I'm no Barney Frank fan either, and I'm not defending him. I'm just pointing out your obvious willingness to ignore certain behavior from some yet you take issue with it from others. Why is that? Obviously you don't have to answer the question, but I'd be interested in hearing your reasoning.
