Joe Kennedy III launches his campaign for Barney Frank congressional seat- VIDEO

Kennedy may make a fine congressman if elected his ancestry has no bearing on his ability.calling him an Irish drunk only belittles the poster.

Greenwich Connecticut USA-- Fairness demands that the very many sorid incidents involving the Kennedys not be mentioned or discussed during the election campaign of J. Kennedy the III. I now mention the Kennedys because of where I live--The Skakels were a Greenwich family , and daughter Ethel married Robert Kennedy in St. Mary's Church on Greenwich Ave: brother John ( future President ) was Best Man. Ethel's brother Ruston had son Michael who had indications of being "disturbed"; they lived in the ulta-exclusive Belle Haven section of Greenwich---- Frank Gifford , former NFL football "star" and wife Kathie Lee Gifford , a notable TV star , live in a palatial mansion on the waters of Long Island Sound in the Riverside section of Greenwich. Frank Gifford's daughtes Victoria married Ethel's son Michael Kennedy ( now deceased ) , who seduced a fouteen year-old baby siter making him de jure guilty of Satutory Rape , but there was no prosecution because the girl would not testify. It may be presumed "Kennedy money" may have been a reason for her refusal.There was a brutal murder of a teen-aged girl in Belle Haven , and Michael Skakel was the "prime suspect" because of his obvious "distubing" behavior-- he is now in prison . Greenwich was also the home of the Bessette sisters who perished because John Kennedy Jr was careless in navigating an aircraft .But none of this, or other Kennedy failings should be directed against J Kennedy the III during his election campaign.1

The Kennedy name alone does not a congressman make. I find it most interesting that the author mentions Joe's GRANDfather, but avoids his most influential (to him) relative, his father. Every day, I am forced to watcdh his Dad on TV, extolling the wonders of Hugo Chavez, the communist leader of Veezuela, and a man who vocally despises America. I suggest NOT being fool by the name, or the lineage. This man is a second generation Communist and an "America Hater."

GOOD for him....we need MORE KENNEDY'S in washington....the kennedy's have ALWAYS been for the liittle people (so-to speak)....i wish the HATERS would look MORE at the GOOD the kennedy family has done, and LESS at the bad personal stuff....do i like or agree with what they've done in their private lives, NO of course not....but, i DON'T hold it against them. alisa neely

He's definitely using the name, but we'll have to see what he's got. He's definitely no dummy but he might not have any substance. We'll have to wait and see.

"I just think the Kennedy name is not enough to elect somebody," said Mary Thomits, a retired teacher from Brookline who said she "shocked" Kennedy by telling him that she did not think he was qualified to run. Thomits said she was an independent but planned to vote for Bielat, and considered Kennedy an opportunist for moving into the district and "riding on his name."

Just another Irish drunk in congress.

I can't wait a new philanderer,or murderer or one who will cast aside their wife,what a wonderful legacy he comes from.
