Chavez Friend and Communist Lover Joe Kennedy May Seek Uncle's Senate Seat
American Spectator ^ | August 28, 2009 | Matthew Vadum

Posted on 08/28/2009 3:43:58 PM PDT by vadum

Political pundits say former Rep. Joe Kennedy II (D-Massachusetts) may be in the running to be successor in the U.S. Senate to his leftist uncle Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Massachusetts) who died earlier this week.

Kennedy is a friend and ally of Hugo Chavez, who as Venezuela's head of state controls Petroleos de Venezuela SA which in turn controls the U.S.-chartered CITGO.

Just like Uncle Ted, Joe Kennedy is a communist enabler too.

At the direction of Chavez, CITGO provides low-cost fuel to Kennedy's nonprofit, Citizens Energy Corporation, which he created in 1979 to provide discounted home heating oil to low-income people in Massachusetts. The CITGO effort is part of Venezuela's campaign in the U.S. to put a smiley face on Chavez's iron-fisted rule.

In one TV ad about the fuel oil program, Kennedy praised CITGO and condemned U.S. oil companies and the U.S. government: "Some people say it's bad politics to do this. I say it's a crime against humanity not to because no one - no one - should be left out in the cold."

Joe can try for an unusual double. He can rack up the “least liked Senator” award to go along with his “least liked Representative” award. Go get it, Joe. You will be hugely entertaining.

Hey, Massachusetts! How about coming out of the dark ages and electing someone OTHER than a Kennedy for a change. The rest of the country needs a break already!

Ever notice that, no matter how long or how hard you work at it, you can never scrape all of that stuff off of the bottom of your shoe?

I wonder if Chavez has a lot of rich Venzuelan supporters or has he nationalized all their assets?

...and electing someone OTHER than a Kennedy for a change.

While reporting from MA this morn that stupid Martha McCallum actually said, "It feels like a Kennedy should take that seat. It's been held by Ted so long, that just feels right."

WTF? When did we reach the state of hereditary Peerdom?
That seat in the senate will have been the property of the Kennedy’s for over 50 years. The people of Massachusetts are idiots.

Joe “steaming socialist turd” Kennedy is the guy who tried to get his twenty year marriage annulled so he could marry his whore girlfriend in the Catholic Church. Vatican turned him and his money dowen as I recall.

Given the track record of the Massachusetts electorate (Kennedy, Kerry, Frank, and that twit Markey) it could well be that Joe is the most qualified candidate in the state.

Many moved here to Orlando. They left Socialist/Communist Venezuela for Florida and vote Democrat and pro-union. Kind of like the libs from the NE. Sh@t in their nests, stink up everything till it in uninhabitable and move on to the next clean sheets.
