Congress candidate Joe Kennedy III defends his father’s support of Venezuela oil - VIDEO

I thought that the U.S. drill their own oil ?? They reportedly have huge oil reserves in their northern states and Alaska !!

Amazing how Irish this guy looks, even though he must be about five or six generations removed. The time is coming quickly when the Irish-Americans will be the only "Irish-looking" people left. The "Irish" in Ireland will look like folks in Bosnia or Bangla Desh. I'm only a couple of generations removed, but people say I don't look Irish--I'm too good-looking to be Irish.

hybernia " Murph46 When did Iran vow to attack Israel?" You're dead right. Iran has attacked no country in the past two centuries, to the best of my knowledge. I wish we in the US could say the same!

WHY is having to defend his father, when his father is NOT the one running for office?....it should be about WHAT he can DO, not about what his family has done in the PAST. alisa

Hi Murph46, Iran's Imanutjob knows that if he attacks Israel it's a suicide mission. There are ICBMs with hydrogen warheads aimed at a few sites that would make Iran one for the history books. It's all talk and bluster - something I'm sure you have more than a passing familiarity with.

Murph46 When did Iran vow to attack Israel? I think you have the wrong end of the stick, it's Israel who has threatened to attack Iran.Iran has not attacked anyone in the last 200 years, it is Israel who attacked all its neighbours.

Looks like Rupert's Rangers are out in force today. I sympathize with them because I know how distasteful it is for them to see politicians lifting a finger to improve the lives of regular working people. Take heart and go watch Fox some more. They're give you some new hate lines from the spin room. You're are a bit flea infested.

He is following in the socialist footsteps of his family. Don't the people of Massachusetts deserve better? He won't help our oil production, but will support the commie dictator.

I have long supported importing Venezuelan oil into the U.S. The poor of Boston have benefited over the years from the importing of this heavy crude. Hugo Chavez is willing to shop his oil to any country in the world. Sounds like American Capitalism to me. He's willing to sell his oil in the Belly of the Beast, why should we object. It only brings our prices down at the pump. The younger Joe Kennedy sounds like a fine young man and will make a fine member of Congress.

I hope he can drive a car better Or great uncle) than his uncle....His father was also good at cheating on his wife...this poor guy had great models to follow....
