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

Posted on 04/18/2012 2:07:53 PM PDT by Timber Rattler

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.”

Just when you think that you've flushed the toilet for the last time, up floats another Kennedy.

Sounds like an uphill campaign strategy. I like it.

Mission accomplished, and he’s not even in office yet.

Let me know when you have something that can replace all the uses of oil at a similar cost and I might consider it.

Joe will never have to live with the real consequences of the socialist society his ilk create.

Yes, it's obvious to everyone how your failure to search makes me the bad guy.

I'll try to search more in the future.

Duh. Another Kennedy proves they slept through Economics 101. We use oil BECAUSE it is cheap and effective...

I am guessing that the Kennedy’s are going to get out of the oil business then since it is so bad for the country. They own Arctic Royalty Limited Partnership, which consists of two drilling companies Kenoil and Mokeen oil.

They all have real jobs so that the loss of tax free royalty money from exiting oil won’t be a bother.

I agree, we should ween ourselves off of cheap oil and convert our country to rubber band energy technology.

Let the Chinese suffer with oil while we run our country peacefully on rubber bands.

Oil bad, rubber bands good.

Guy who’s been here five months explains how we do things to a guy who’s been here ten years.

Makes sense, right?

yep...ANOTHER KENNEDY

who doesn't know what it is like to struggle and just get by...

never had to earn a cent in his life...just lived off the family trust funds...

he can take his political campaign and shove it where the sun doesn't shine..I hope the day comes he will know financial struggle..his family has suffered personal losses, but there has always been plenty of bucks to ease their pain.

I take note that almost all these type idiots are rich and a great many are trust fund asshats.

When individuals are wealthy, most could care less about high fuel prices, let the lesser hoi polis eat cake.

No dimocRAT in this country has ANY standing to lecture ANYONE on making “tough choices”. They won’t even vote on a budget!!!! “Evil hypocrite” just doesn’t quite capture the essense of the depravity of dimocRATs these days.
