Joe Kennedy III calls for ending ‘cheap oil’
The Daily Caller ^ | 18 Apr 2012 | Christopher Bedford

Posted on 04/18/2012 6:19:24 AM PDT by Rummyfan

As gas prices continue to soar around the country, Joe Kennedy III, the Democratic candidate for Rep. Barney Frank’s seat, wrote an online letter to supporters calling for an end to “cheap oil.”

“Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama — they’ve all talked about the same thing: the need to wean ourselves off our debilitating dependence on foreign oil,” Kennedy wrote.

“The cycle that allows cheap oil to trump tough choices has to stop,” he continued. “Forty years is enough.”

We cannot have cheap oil, the wealthy Kennedy declares!

As for me, I wouldn't go within a mile of Barney Frank's seat!

Says the spoiled brat who has lived his entire life off the wealth accumulated by his whiskey running great-grandfather and the taxpaying citizens of The United States Of America.

Any state that votes for a Kennedy should get no more oil from the producing states. This corrupt family should be able to power their states with their hot air and other noxious fumes.

Dear Mr. (inherited) 1%er Joe:

$100/bbl is not cheap.

You are obviously not qualified to comment on economics.

The Kennedys own TWO oil companies. Mokeen and Kenoil. They are in a trust called the Arctic Royalty Limited Partnership. Don’t let the name fool you. They are in five southern states. The old man got poor land owners to sign over the mineral rights.

He is qualified to Frank’s “seat.”

Conservative headline writers could have lots of fun with this race.

“Kennedy has his eye on Frank's seat.”

“Kennedy pulls out all stops for Frank's seat”

“Team Kennedy internal polls on Frank's seat.”

...

Kennedys have their heads up their butts so far they have to view the world from inside their own belly-buttons.

And just when I think my tagline is no longer relevant, another of their mindless spawn offers another example of their idiocy.

Wealthy Uncle Ted (The Swimmer) just about destroyed our culture while living like a king, untouched by the destruction his liberal policies wrought.

Now Joe No. 3 wants to help Obama finish off the economy and drive the rest of us into unheated tenements travelling on the Shoe-Leather Express.

Leftists like Kennedy and Obama won’t be content until they have turned white America into a duplicate of Communist Russia circa 1950.

$100/bbl is not cheap.

Historically speaking, oil is fairly inexpensive. The problem is the eroding value of the dollar.

cheap oil we can afford - it is this government we can’t. We need to wean our selves off off of big government.

we cannot have cheap oil

unless it is donated by Hugo Chavez

so a Kennedy can “donate” it to stupid people

and pay himself and his wife $1 million to manage the “nonprofit”

“Joe4ExpensiveOil”

Each successive generation of Kennedy gets exponentially stupider and stupider. In a just world, this post alone would mean a landslide victory for Sean Bielat.

I recognize the issue of inflation over the last 45 years, but $4 gasoline helped kill off the real estate market recently.

Didn’t take him long to jump the shark. Sean Beilat needs donations to win this race.
