Why the fuck aren't people cheering for Barney Frank?

[malachibk]

Yes, they applauded at the end. But that was pretty much it.

Weak, Democrats. Very fucking weak.

[malachibk]

1. Is no one watching?

Are people afraid of the gay stuff?

[TSIAS]

2. I applauded at home

Enjoyed his speech very much.

[malachibk]

3. Me too, glad to hear it!

eom

[Bluebear]

4. Senator Frank, wonderful speech!

[in_cog_ni_to]

5. I watched and thought he was terrific!

:hi:

[malachibk]

6. So why so quiet in the convention?

Afraid of seeming too left on TV?

11. I don't know, malachibk.

:shrug: At that time of day there's not a lot of people on the floor. There wasn't much applause for anyone, not just Barney. People are coming and going, haven't settled in for the big evening event yet...you know? BUT, no one got much of an applause and I've had it on since it started.

7. It was a great speech. The "agenda" was great!

Why no applause? You got me! :shrug:

8. Delivery

Similar to Kweisi's, in that he had great delivery. Yes, there is a gay agenda.

They want to be treated like human beings.

[cprise]

9. It may have to do with Iraq

I recall him waffling on that issue, which is a huge undercurrent at the convention.

10. nuts!

missed it.... :grr:

[goclark]

12. Go Barney!

I loved his speech!

He put it right out there and I respect him a lot.

As far as I'm concerned it should have been in prime time.

13. Left my pom-poms at home.

But hooray for Barney! :bounce:
