Barney Frank, Deval Patrick to help draft national Democratic Party platform
2012-07-15
[Mass. Live] Two Massachusetts Democrats will help draft the Democratic Party's national platform. Retiring U.S. Rep. Barney Frank will be a member of the platform drafting committee. Gov. Deval (Whoa! Nice drapes!) Patrick will be an ex-officio member.

The Democratic National Committee and Obama for America announced the committee on Thursday. The committee will meet July 27-29 for a public hearing in Minneapolis, and will then draft the platform before a meeting with a larger committee Aug. 10-12 in Detroit. The platform will represent the party's official positions for the next four years.

The drafting committee will be chaired by former Ohio Governor Ted Strickland. The full platform committee will be chaired by Newark, N.J. Mayor Cory Booker and Lt. General Claudia Kennedy.

#14  In all honesty, the national platform of any party is an exercise in irrelevancy.

The committee is equivalent to being the Rose Bowl Parade marshal. In this case, many parade marshals.

#11  That's what the Internet is for, Abu Uluque - well, that and porn but porn has become less and less profitable now that the amateurs with digital phones and Skype have moved in.

#10  I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of Americans don't know who Bawney Fwank is...or Deval Patrick either. They're like the kinds of critters that crawl out from under a rock. But first you have to pick up the rock. Now, who here believes that the MSM is gonna do that?

#9  We know their platform, destroy America, enslave us all, kill babies and let the criminals kill innocents.

#8  I am getting a nose bleed thinking about what this collection of clowns will come up with as a platform for the looney left.

Unbelievable. Do you get the idea they think they can shovel it higher and deeper and the public will just march right along? Do they believe the MSM can sell this load of offal to the public?

I guess so. I hope the Republican quit making nice and take the gloves off, they could have a field day with the results of this group.

#7  Obama has been around for three years now, or is it Barney not a golfer.

Oh he's a duffer alright, no doubt about that. He simply plays with a different type of ball.

#6  Wait, they are just now getting around to talking about perhaps drafting a policy? Obama has been around for three years now, or is it Barney not a golfer.

I thought that was Barney Ready...or is it Jimmy Frank?

#5  If I was the Republicans, I'd be putting up billboards with this.
Even his supporters admit that Barney's a pompous asshole. And Deval is Barry Lite.
