Frank is full on J Street, pontificating about Israeli politics. He ought to move there and vote since he's got such great ideas. Please, please, please vote this guy out: Barney Frank calls for probe of Gaza raid
U.S. Rep. Barney Frank had harsh words yesterday for the Israeli Navy after a bloody raid on a pro-Palestinian flotilla outside of Gaza, describing nine activists killed in the conflict as "innocent" and calling for an independent inquiry into the showdown...
Would some of the leadership quoted in the article please call Frank and explain that he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about? Fortunately, there is another choice: Sean Bielat.

What are Sean's foreign policy positions? I can't find much on Israel, for example, on his web page.
Sean's not the only choice for those who are fed up with Barney. Earl Sholley is the other Republican running against Barney. Earl is solidly pro-Israel and pretty savvy about the threat of global Jihad and the Muslim Brotherhood leadership of the Menino and Deval's mosque. Earl Sholley showed up in Brookline for the rally on 3/23.
Earl also supports American Solutions, the broad-based reform effort kicked off by Newt Gingrich, with support from Republicans, Democrats and Independents for the kinds of real change Newt writes about in his books. It's more than a reaction to the radical leftist agenda of Obama and the crazy lady with the gavel and the face-lifts. (Nancy Pelousy loves socialist programs, and like a true leader of the people, she enjoys using US Air Force planes like her own private, personal biz jets.) It's about making policy based on the commonsense changes most Americans agree on but that our political process has been totally incapable of addressing.
Both Earl and Sean are ex-military with business experience, but Earl's more seasoned. Sean comes across like he's still wet behind the ears. (Earl's two daughter's are young adults; Sean is expecting his first child this summer.) At this point, Sean has a much bigger war chest and more momentum. Earl ran against Barney in '08, and Sean is a fresh face—not that many people saw Earl's or knew he was running two years ago.
Sean's web site mentions Israel only in passing as a bullet point under "Other Issues:"
Earl's web site is more direct and more forthcoming:- March 26: The President’s disrespect & bullying of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a severe setback for American diplomacy.
- January 28, after BHO's State of the Union Address: The People want you to support Israel which is our friend and the only democracy in the middle east.
Guessing there will be a primary. All Nappy knows about Sean is what's on his web site. Earl showed up at a program at Rabbi Hausman's Ahavath Torah Congregation two years ago and also at the Rally for Jerusalem in Brookline. Nappy likes Earl better but will support whoever becomes the Republican candidate. Nappy hopes that this time the dysfunctional MA Republican Party son't eat its young and the NRCC will get serious about targeting Barney so that there's a real race this time.Barney Frank needs his mouth for saying dumb things and putting unconventional things, in it - if you know what I mean.
Well that was interesting. Here's an interesting trivia for those interested in the Marine Corps-- did you know that the biggest gathering of Marine Veterans in Boston, MA is The Marine Corps League Pvt Charles J Shutt Detachment?
I did by doing a quick search and read about here at this Boston's Largest Marine Corps Veteran Group website. Lots of news about the Marine Corps and Veterans. -- No obligations anywhere. Semper Fi
