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.”

Uh, Barney's district is in Massachusetts. They use oil heat to keep warm. This is a Democrat actually campaigning on the idea that he'd like for his constituents to freeze to death in the dark.

They are all truly mad.

Ironic, isn’t it, that Joseph Kennedy II founded Citizens Energy in 1979 on the premise that “everyone deserves life’s basic necessities, like a warm home and affordable heat.”

Gee whiz, these Kennedys are like weeds sprouting up in the former garden paradise known as the US of A. I can’t stand them.

I’m for ending crooked jet setting hacks and their fake “non-profit organizations”: Citizens Energy.paid Joe Kennedy $708,198 in 2010 at the so-called nonprofit. Mrs. Joseph P. Kennedy II, also known as Beth was: $261,825.

Total annual grab for these limousine liberal parasites: $970,023.

Kennedy literally travels in a limo on your dime,

This is typical Kennedy deception. Every member of the family shares in royalties from oil leases they bought up in the southern states. They are not what the press makes them out to be.

“Furthermore,” Joe Kennedy III continued, “Happiness is something that Americans have experienced far too long! It is time for Americans to be miserable. Food should be denied to all Americans, as well as water. Sleep should not be permitted. Clothing should be removed from all Americans, and they should be crowded into freezing states during the winter, while naked. American infants should be lanced with red-hot needles. Health care should consist of a single bullet to the forehead. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! VOTE FOR ME!”

Er...ugh....huh....umm....Psss, Joe, baby....breaking news... oil is not cheap. Tell your aid to talk to your secretary and your secretary to your accountant, your accountant to talk to your butler to talk to your chauffeur, your chauffeur talk to your garage-man. Perhaps the garage-man will pass on how much he has to put on your gas credit card to fill your Beamer, SUV, Jeep, Mercedes and limos. Perhaps your marina operator will let your yacht captain know how much those twin GMC’s are sucking up.
